I wish you could give a lower score than one star.
I made this IMDb account just to vent about this visual vomit. Think about that.... I've seen reality shows (which are terrible), daytime chat shows (garbage)..... And I still think this is the worst product I've seen. At least reality shows and daytime chat shows are open to being cheap and catering to the lowest common denominator. This is worse than all of it.
It's like it's willfully oblivious to how awful it is....
Let's counterpoint it with SNL, a live show that written each week. Better writing, performances, actual satire and wit - when it doesn't work, at least the excuse is the time-frame. Now.... Open Slather isn't live. People sat in writers rooms and thought 'this is funny'. Inexcusable.
Take the recent ad, a 'parody' of 'Bang Bang'. It'd barely be acceptable as a parody performed by a local amateur comedy troop. People got PAID to write, produce and film that. Ugh. Also; how bad is it that this song is deemed to be the highlight and is the main thrust of an advert for the show....?
If this isn't on TV to fulfill some kind of mandatory percentage or quota for locally produced work....then for shame.
If this is supposed to demonstrate the 'cream' of Australian sketch comedy then it just demonstrates how far behind we are. Look up UCB or Groundlings, those amateur up- and-comers can IMPROVISE an hour that's more topical, biting and laugh-out-loud funny than this dreck.
Whilst the Four Horsemen of the apocalypse are well known by name and nature, I'm amazed that their battle plan name, the Open Slather, to end humanity has taken this long to become known. Maybe its wishful thinking that's the worst this show can get.
