Royal Canadian Air Farce

Up until John Morgan left, this was one of the funniest shows on Canadian tv. The jokes were mostly political, and poked fun at world leaders. After he left, and there were only 3 original members, they started getting guest appearances, which is ok. Then the jokes started to get more pop-culture based, but were repetitive and weren't as funny. The new episodes are terrible, and they need to take more risks.

Alright, it's been said but I must say it again. This show got old a LONG time ago. I remember telling some teacher in grade nine that I thought it was awful, tired and unfunny (1997?). I believe she disagreed. I could never stand watching Luba Goy or Abbott as they can NOT act, and are so odd in appearance that all you see in their impersonations is them. The political satire never seems to focus on anything beyond the news headline.

Lots of good shows have come from the CBC. This is not one of them. It's safe, middle-class suburban and DULL. This Hour has 22 Minutes, though suffering at times from cast changes, was always funny. Kids in the Hall was funny. Air Farce has always played to a lower denominator. I find it unwatchable as I find SNL unwatchable. I might have enjoyed it briefly when it first came on TV when I was ten, but that didn't last very long. Though my parents seemed to have enjoyed it on the radio back in the day, the radio has the bonus feature of not having to WATCH who's speaking.

Finally, this show reinforces an incorrect view of Canadians. C'mon, no one likes to see stereotypes reinforced in the same way, over and over.

One of the worst shows on Canadian television. The jokes are lame, the performers are wooden and untalented. Good political humour (or humour in general) explores unchartered oceans, this one wades in stagnant waste water. I can't believe so many Canadians like this show, it's time to retire it and it's crew.

I understand most people hate this show and it is terrible but everyone seems to be blaming the cast. How about the writing? I assume they don't write their own jokes like on most TV shows. The writing is so horrible and stale, they are doing the same jokes they did in 1993 since the first season of Air Farce. This show used to be good but now it's just painfully awful, I feel bad for these people who have to go on TV and read such horrible jokes. But I think if they got new writers the show might still turn around and be funny. I'm not too optimistic about that though. Royal Canadian Air Farce is just sad and disappointing, I like new cast member Alan Park though, he is funny.

As a Canadian I am ashamed of this show.

I can't believe after so many years it is still on and doing the same lame jokes. I don't dislike them as people I just feel embarrassed for them when I see them on TV doing such pathetic jokes.

Bringing in the new cast member hasn't helped because they are just as bad as the old ones. Jessica Holmes is just as bad as when she was on The Holmes Show on CTV, I don't understand how she got another chance as a TV star. She always did impersonations of Celine Dione and Liza Minelli that were so irritating! But that is the kind of thing Air Farce is about so I'm not that surprised.

I know some people must like Air Farce because it is still on but I honestly don't understand it and don't know anybody who says they do like and watch Air Farce or maybe they just don't want to admit it.

I think the only thing worse than Air Farce are reruns of Air Farce where the topics are so out of date we don't even know what the jokes are referring to anyway.

1/10, I hope it goes away soon.
