This post should be in the Entertainment Meeja board.
It will be a matter of time until it is moved there.

Very humourous.
Harks back to The Late Show.
Great to see Hey Dad's Ben Oxenbold is still alive.

I must admit, I quite enjoyed what I saw of Comedy Inc. I especially liked the send up of Richie Benaud and the cricket. First, the bit where he says what a good over it was from England, just 34 runs conceeded, then showing flight path of the last 6 balls... no, lets show the last 80, oh bugger it, lets show every ball ever bowled in the history of cricket!! Then they had Richie doing some promotion of the show, Sex And The City which was a crack up!! :D
The bit with Warnie was funny too, on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire and the friend he phones is a nurse!! :D

Anything with a former Hey Dad! character has got to be good, doesn't it?
Anyway, I didn't watch it.

Really funny stuff. Its definetly my kind of show.
(turns to woman): I've throughly studied your breasts
(turns to man): And I've had a good hard look at your genitals. And I've got some bad news.
(pause)
I'm not a doctor. I'm a goal umpire!:D :D
And any send up of John Edward gets my vote.:D :D

Oh come on! Learn to laugh mate! Sure it had some lame ones, but all up it was good.
I liked the anti-terroism ones and also the Eddie one with the million dollar cheque.
Eddie hands contestant million dollar cheque.
Contestant - Phew! Geez! That's alot of money!
Eddie - Yes well the network think i'm worth it... anyway now for the $200 question.

i agree, it was pathetic. all it was was lame sendups of channel 10 shows basically.

i agree, it sucks.
we saw the same jokes a decade ago on fast forward/full frontal.
Agreed.
Didnt laugh at one joke and this humour is nothing next to the Late Show.
It's a rehash of Full Frontal..

Pretty average stuff. But they took off Rove and his dic khead cronies perfectly which i enjoyed.

I think both (Skithouse and Comedy Inc) are funny in patches and tragic in others. I probably lean slightly more towards Skithouse though, especially as I really find the guys from Tripod funny.
The sketch when they were playing "Guess Who?" was hilarious!

SkitHouse was quite funny in patches. Have to agree with manmountain about Tripod. About the best comedy act going around at the moment.
As for Comedy Inc, this would have to the worst attempt at comedy ever. It makes Full Frontal look like Fawlty Towers and Wendy Harmer like Jerry Seinfeld. I'll be surprised if it stays on for more than 1 or 2 more episodes. Absolutely pathetic.

I enjoy watching them both. I'm getting sick of soaps and reality t.v. Wouldn't mind seeing more of those sort of shows, although watching Home and Away last night, produced some laughs. Shows like that are getting pathetic, bring on more comedy

Well I noticed that a lot of the in studio skits got very few laughs. As long as you didn't pay it might be justifiable. :D

Actually sat down and watched a full episode of SKIThouse last night. 5 out of 10 - some genuinely funny moments but mainly lame filler...

Comedy INC owns Skithouse because they bag people :)

Sucks, sucks...and sucks!!
My Wife was telling me how JJJ, Adam and Will, were taking the Pyss out of Comedy Inc the other morning. Apparently 1 of the writers for Comedy Inc phoned in and asked them to stop paying out the show and give it some support.
Of Course Adam and Will went to town paying out the show's motto... "Be Scared, Nothing is Sacred"... nothing except our show. We will payout other shows but no-ones allowed to payout us.
I actaully missed it but my Wife said it was pretty funny stuff.

Saw this program for the first time tonight.
Verdict: Worse than Kittson/Fahey. Despairingly unoriginal and unfunny.
I'm surprised big Kerry didn't get on the blower to mission control and have the tripe pulled mid-show.

Absolute garbage, watched it at a mates last night and we rang the switchboard about it 3 times with insights such as "this is ****, get it off". The Lleyton Hewitt segment was just pitiful, made out like he couldn't actually play the game

It was crap last night.

Actually thought it wasn't too bad last night - but then again maybe I was in the mood to try and find anything other than war, death, criminals, politics etc. ie serious stuff. :(

Really don`t like praising ch.9 shows, but I don`t mind this one, at the very least they do have a go at some of their own shows, not just other networks which has to be good, particularly liked the one off the top, big dig at Bryan Brown, summed up how i feel about that ****er.

Yep, I agree with Suzi :eek:
Last night's was the worst of the series so far.

I am actually starting to like this show. It is not perhaps intellectual humour but the short joke appeals to me. The fact that it is very current ie a joke about the war, and then the fact that it goes over all stations is very amusing.
Some stuff is crap but I need crappy humour. But you do need to lose the PC or else you won't enjoy some of it. :D
Tonight was one of the better ep's. The All-Saints ****take was a classic.

While i've only seen both shows once (and once is enough), i found Comedy Inc. to be utter crap!...no real laughs at all. It's a pity The Late Show isn't still around...atleast that was funny.
I liked a couple of weeks back when they took the urine out of that English Chef, that was a classic.

Didn't watch it because I don't like it. It's too boring for my liking.

They're both excrutiatingly bad.
Got far more laughs out of the Jane and Gina Fast Forward special and if they ever repeated the Late Show it would kick any of their ar$es in ratings.

I don't get to see it that often, but the sketch the other week...with the Lord of the Rings...they were trying to work out how to destroy the ring...then they put the ring in an Aus Post jiffy bag and it came out broken :D:D ahahaah
This week looks funny too with the 24 bit
