I saw an episode of this last night, and it's not just a poor mans version of the first 10 minutes of a Leno or Letterman show, it's a homeless mans version of the first 10 minutes of a Leno or Letterman show.

Charlie Pickering delivers his lines with no passion or emphasis, which makes the fact that the jokes aren't funny even worse.

Michael Chamberlain is almost as annoying as Dave Hughes. He looks down the barrell of the camera and spits and slips his way through primary school grade 3 observations of current affairs.

The "audience" barely even raises a giggle throught the show, and when they do clap or laugh, it sounds like it's just the crew members behind the cameras that are there.

A spectacularly pathetic attempt at a humerous show, I won't be watching it again. They promoted the shit out of it for weeks prior to the premiere, but the stars of the show deserve to wind up on Rove....or The Wedge. Absolute disgrace. :thumbsdown::thumbsdown::thumbsdown:

Agreed. Shit Show, Shit hosts.

Why do we in Australia put up with these non funny excuses for comedians. It seems all you have to do is label yourself a comedian, and you get a TV show.

80% of the comedians in Australia are crap.

Their delivery is so absolutely terrible and amateurish... and that's about the only thing comical about the show.

What's worse is how the hyped it to be the best thing ever, which was ridiculous.

yep, those ridiculous annoying ads made sure I would never watch it. The comedy channel has a habit of featuring the worst of aussie comedians they can find sometimes.

I know it'll ____ing suck, because the two comedians hosting it are completely shithouse.

But I'll try and watch the first episode, just to see how much phallus it does actually suck.
