You're Skitting Me

Please take the show off the air I can't bear it any more. All the cast bar molly should be blacklisted they are horrible. They are repetitive and don't understand when something doesn't work they keep reusing the same themes and cast members and drag out an idea for example mario brothers, cave men, old stupid Indian, zombies to the point of ad nauseum. There is no point to this show its just a painful time waster. I respect abc3 but this show brings the channel down. Abc3 should review its content and axe the show and replace it with child friendly content instead of you're skitting me which is full of stupidity and repetition.

My first impressions of the show seemed good and I was interested, up until the actors decided to TRY and be funny. I must emphasize try as they did, but failed on levels that can not be named. They dare to try and make fun of other comedies in one of their acts trying to point out how boring and repetitive they are making it very ironic as they pull of the same things. The skits are bland in no way funny and no one should waste their time watching this as I have. The thought of the show seemed good as I have not heard of another show with a cast like this, but as said I was not impressed at all. To summarize, the show is very boring and repetitive and could possibly entertain a brain dead audience with no sense of humor but even with that I doubt they would laugh.

This stirring commentary on how people with mental disabilities experience life left me speechless after my first viewing. A brief and harsh half-hour window into the itinerant minds of those with less psychological fortune than ourselves, this show bombards the viewer with a staggering collection of largely disparate scenes that leave it's audience both confused and horrified while being utterly moved by the inspirational experience. My only criticism of this brilliant artistic piece would be its unerring relentlessness. I would have appreciated perhaps even a few moments of comic relief in the sea of heavy emotion that was this programme. However, I respect the artist's integrity to choose not to include a single piece of humour across the entire period for the sake of the message. Extremely impressed by this group of teenagers.

I've seen a bit of this show and I hate it. It is not only unfunny but offensive and inappropriate for young children (which are supposed to be part of their audience).

The offensiveness I mentioned comes from a scene where the characters are engaged in a spelling bee. A student is asked to spell the work jerkt*rd.

This shocked me and honestly caused me to cry. I myself have a developmental disability (autism) and had a brother with autism and down syndrome, so this would understandably upset me.

In what way is a horrible slur appropriate for a child? Especially as children as young as 5-6 watch this show.

You're Skitting Me's use of this word disgusts me. If there's one thing I know about kids it's that they tend to repeat words. This means that children could end up using horrible slurs without realizing it.

I hope that this horrid excuse for a show is taken off the airwaves forever.

Sure, it can be cheesy, sure it can be little hit and miss, just like EVERY comedy skit show in history! Overall it delivers a lot more often than many other Australian skit shows have and I'd say it is actually one of the most consistent I've seen, adult shows included - the regular bits and recurring characters are tight and simple enough to stay enjoyable, not wearing or wrung out (as can often be the case with skit shows).

And they do all this for kids, so without being able to draw on adult material. My kids watch it and love it, and it's one of the few shows they watch that I can happily watch with them. For kids between 6-16 and their parents its a winner, and I dare say many adults could enjoy it if they like a more whimsical oddball kind of humour.
