Baroness Von Sketch Show

I'm a big fan of Portlandia, so when my friend described what the Baroness Von Sketch Show was like, I decided to give it a chance. My first episode was S2:E1 and I nearly peed myself at the first sketch. Perhaps I share the same sense of humour as these women, but I find them incredibly funny and likeable and find their writing to be very relevant! They love themselves, love women, and are not afraid to look ridiculous - so try to relax and appreciate what they are doing with this show.

I wonder how many of the negative reviewers have ever watched Monty Python's Flying Circus, the original TV show? 80% of the sketches were "meh" or worse, but it was the monster hits that everyone remembers and defines the show. Make no mistake, Baroness has a lot of those take-it-or-leave-it sketches, but it too has sketches so incredibly funny that I've had to walk out of the room to catch my breath and grab a kleenex or two (the gym locker sketch comes immediately to mind for me).

I'm a guy, so I don't "get" all the sketches, such as the "garment of freedom" - my wife had to explain that pockets just aren't a part of women's fashion - but more often than not I'm laughing anyhow as the delivery by the whole cast is excellent.

It's sad to read all of the troll reviews from deplorables. Like any sketch show, it has its hits and misses, but it's really funny and fresh. Obviously the relative lack of moderation on IMDb has attracted the kinds of people who think mentioning the word "lesbian" is PC woke madness.

Zany, off-beat, hilarious. Shocked the IMDb reviews and ratings are so mixed! I don't know why this show wouldn't be universally loved. I find it hilarious and fun. I guess anything with a feminist POV is going to get a lot of backlash these days. Women or no, the comedy is great!! Love this show! Keep it coming CBC.

This show is hilarious and relatable. Based on real experiences and then blown out of proportion in a great way. The women are exceptionally talented. Don't listen to the bad reviews.
