    IMO not as bad as other reviewers say

    I admit I'm reviewing this show only because the previous two reviewers gave the show such bad reviews. I didn't watch every episode but the ones I saw were a bit of a mixed bag.

    With a multi-character show with mostly very short sketches it is inevitable that you will get some sketches that are just not funny. This is certainly the case here with some repeated characters such as the South African mother not very funny.

    However there were also some very funny ideas and characters. Perhaps they makers were under pressure to make a certain number of episodes and some items that might have been left out were kept in for this reason. Anyway it was a refreshing change to see some new faces on RTE, rather than the usual suspects.

    Not bad for a first series. Hopefully the powers that be will bring them back for another series that might be even better.

    The Worst Comedy I Have Ever Seen

    I was so utterly appalled by the quality of this so called 'comedy' that I was compelled to write a review.

    Now after seeing 2 episodes I can honestly say that it is the worst comedy I have ever seen, let alone sketch comedy. The sketches shown were (with the notable exception of 2 mildly funny sketches) predominantly badly written, poorly acted, and displayed almost no discernible knowledge of comic timing or comedic conventions. Furthermore, of the sketches I saw there was clearly no thought put into seemingly all but 2 of them. They are poorly executed versions of incomplete and (it would appear) hastily written scripts that should never have been filmed to begin with.

    That this show was green-lit, let alone made into a 6 series show, is despicable.

    Worth watching if you love a laugh!!!

    I disagree with some of the other posts, but opinions vary and so do peoples sense of humour.

    I loved the show and after reading some of the negative reviews I really felt the need to write this, I'm not one for the American sit coms and it was refreshing to actually see funny content in Your Bad Self instead of boring dialogue accompanied with canned laughter that most sit coms provide.

    I would consider myself a harsh critic when it comes to comedy, but maybe I just have a sick sense of humour... I've seen the clips for this show on YouTube and I find it very, very funny! I've recognised some of the actors and rate this as one of the funniest comedy sketch shows around, you can tell the actors had a ball while filming it. The sketches provide a variety of hilarious situations so there is something for everybody, and I have laughed out loud at a lot of the content. I do admit not all sketches are hilarious, but I found most are.

    Definitely worth a watch if you love a laugh, I rate this 10 out of 10, just wish they filmed more seasons.

    Truly Awful

    I watched the first 2 episodes and it was annoyed me it was so unfunny. Really bad no humour flat comedy. Domhnall Gleeson had a few funny tics, Michael McElhatton is a great comedy actor (Paths to Freedom): as is Peter McDonald, but this sketch show was so sketchy on comedy it made me want to throw up. I think I got it removed from RTE it was so bad. Not even good bad, just bad. Should just have been called Your Bad Comedy Show.

    I love it

    One of the funniest sketch shows I've seen for a long time. Bonus that it happens to be made in Ireland.

    While one or two characters to recur, the sketches are generally unrelated and varied. The one common thread is the format: A serious scene, with one spark of insanity. The consistently polished performances and duologue shines through the characters' idiosyncrasies. A credit to both the actors and the writers.

    Without spoiling it, special mention must be made of Peter McDonald's "cute hoor" character. Brilliant stuff.

    Anyway, you can make your own mind up. Many (All?) of the sketches are now on YouTube: www.youtube.com/user/YourBadSelf
