Open Slather

wow, if this is the current state of Australian comedy, no wonder Tony Abbot is Prime Minister. The best I can say about this tired, formulaic turd of a show is that after a while, it finishes. The targets of the parodies are already doing a good job of that themselves (and so don't need this show to help them along) so this show is completely unnecessary. There's nothing new in anything I saw here. It starts to make me think that "Pompidou" by Matt Lucas was better than I thought it was. If you want good Australian Comedy, watch "Danger 5" not this abomination. I can only surmise that the sad "comedians" that appeared here were paid so much that they threw any integrity out the window and I think I can safely say, there won't be a Season 2

An abomination of a comedy show.

# Predictable # Unimaginative # Cheap # Painful viewing

If this show is anything to go by, humuor hasn't changed since the 1960's.

If the "writers" and "actors" truly believe this is the best they can do, they surely should be put out to pasture along with this show.

By pasture, i mean a soundproof room with no windows, with the key melted down to something more useful like a ball bearing!

How this ever made the cut, let alone warrants the mass advertising campaign if baffling.

An insult to the intelligence.

So many great comedians such a crap show. So disappointing.

Back in the 80's and 90's this sort of satirical sketch comedy was all the rage.

The group responsible for those by-gone shows were comedy heroes of the day. But this collection of predictable and most unfunny sketches is just not hitting the mark. I was expecting something new and fresh....not the tired (and should be retired) comedy format. I've tried to watch all the episodes but it is not that funny and even those very rare funny pieces....are rarer than fans of Tony Abbott.

It's sad the Australian comedy is capable of producing new and funny concepts (e.g. Chris Lilley) but we push out this tired old comedy!!

Five words - where the f..k is Kelvin Cunnington? Thats six but I'm being as economical with words as these guys are with laughs. What happened to Australian comedy? Why did our media get gang tackled by the political left in the late 80's and hasn't looked forward since? The reeffo epilogue was just a gross indulgence by the creators. Lets get to the point. I'm sick of Micallef telling me how stupid the right is, so I don't watch anymore after his breakthrough "hilarious period" - then there's the Project which quite funny but the comedians always stuff up the gags as they forget their lines. Now this dross. Our media is a gov subsidised joke of an industry. Just leave the political stuff to commentators and make us laugh. Paul Hogan talked about who we were in our own language. Barry Humphries laughed about who we think we are. The current generation of comedy writers have no idea who we are so they tell us who we should be. Living in leafy suburbs, wafting around in expensive cars between meetings then make a social comment comedy series. Out of touch, bereft of creativity, without any clue that there's about 15 million people who live here that they forgot. Like Cath and Kim. Geez, Fox have taken a risk on this bunch.
