Open Slather

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.

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.

Open slather can only be described as embarrassing. None of the skits are even slightly funny and I'm surprised some of the comedians agreed to take part in it.

Axe this show before you ruin the careers of some of our best acts.. The writers , if there are any , should look for different jobs because they certainly aren't professional comedy writers..

Also why is there a 10 line text minimum to submit this stupid review? Some of us don't need to dribble on forever to get a point across..

Open slather is terrible ,awful , embarrassing , not funny , amateur , d grade comedy at best.

This is one of the worst Sketch shows I have ever seen. The sketches are not funny in the slightest. I struggle to even giggle. The only thing I laugh at is how bad they are. The only one I really liked was Rack. Gina Minehart is lame. The show is nothing compared to the classic sketch shows like Fast Forward and Full Frontal. It is expected though when one of the writers is a lame comedian anyway and is not funny in the slightest Not worth the time watching this. I can't believe this show actually exists. I would prefer to watch reruns of the older shows. How anyone could actually let this show on the air is a joke itself. It should be removed asap

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
