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

A bad attempt at comedy
I watched clips of your bad self on YouTube. In my opinion, this show was dreadful, amateurish and not remotely funny. I felt like I was watching paint dry during the few episodes I saw.
RTE said it featured performances from some of the country's best comic actors, but I had never heard of any of them apart form Amy Huberman. On a positive note, I do think Amy Huberman is a very talented actress.
In my opinion, The Savage Eye is a far superior comedy show with much better acting and talent. A pity, as I was hoping to enjoy the online clips. Hopefully, we will get to see a lot more of David McSavage on our screens.
The show consisted of a bad attempt at black comedy that went wrong. Each to their own when it comes to comedy, but I would not recommend this show.

Just plain BAD!
Another dreadful so called comedy show from RTE - Ireland's national broadcaster and what a waste of license payers money this awful show is. I have watched it twice (under sufferance) and have not had a single laugh, it is just not funny in my opinion , I do have a sense of humor, but this show doesn't make me laugh, instead I cringe with embarrassment with how BAD it is! Whoever gave this show the green light should be ashamed of themselves. Ireland is meant to be a nation of funny people yet RTE still can't make a good comedy show.If you want a laugh then go and watch Father Ted - a classic and extremely funny comedy. My advice:avoid this show at all costs!
Clips were not great
I found the premise interesting but the jokes were third rate. RTE, This is a waste of the license payers money.
This show is not funny. Tommy Tiernan, Jason Byrne or Des Bishop are the guys you need to make a Comedy show.
I'm sorry, but the jokes were pretty bad, it was cringe-worthy. Whoever gave this show the green light needs their head examined.
Can't fault the acting though, that was very good. It just looked like they had a bad script to contend with. I've never given a review a vote of 2/10, so I'm not going to start now... though i'm tempted:-) So, I'd say the good points were the acting, Domhnall Gleeson is a great actor, but the bad points would have to be the script, producing and directing end of things..
