The Sketch Show (2 Viewers)

[babydoll_]

Am I the only person who watches this?

This show fucking rocks! Go British humour

 

[iambored]

when is it on?!?! is it on commercial tv now? because i would watch it if it was on tv, much better than skit house etc.

 

[Farnarcle]

Yeah, it's back on again, but they're just showing repeats. I want new skits!

 

[chepas]

Yeah - 7.30pm Monday nights on Ch10, I think? I remember it's on during Friends anyhoo - so it's always a choice!

My favourite skit is when they're in a recording studio doing "California Dreaming" and the singer sings the words:

All the leaves are brown,

Then them as backup singers echo etc, then the lead singer keeps going like

Lead: All the leaves are brown.
Backups: All the leaves are brown.
Lead: And the sky is grey
Backups: And the leaves are brown!

That's the best! That and the one with the bike race.

Wasn't it on Foxtel or something for a bit?

 

[iambored]

iwill watch it! this show rocks!

There was a better British skit show that was being shown on the ABC sometime ago... Well, British or German. It had a slight feminist vibe, I would say.

cool its back on? Yeh skit house is just lame...but comedy inc was good for a few episodes

 

[chepas]

Yeeuch, ComedyInc. I spose there's only so many incarnations of these sketch comedy shows there could be. Skithouse has it's good moments though (one big moment being the Tripod song at the end ). The Christian Idol last week was funny.

Nothing beats the poms in the Sketch Show though!

 

[simmic]

the setting comedy inc did for certain movies and ads seemed realistic cos you could immediately tell what they are parodying...but then of course it started to go downhill...

[Generator]

Yeah, that was it (I think, because it was being shown with another sketch show at the time). Thanks.

Yeh. She's Kitty Flanagan, apparently according to IMDB she was on Full Frontal back in the days.

Remember Full Frontal? That was the best.

 

[Misturi]

I like Kath and Kim...unfortunately its not on at the moment.

But stetch show, skithouse and comedy inc are all favs of mine. Smack the pony is just plain weird at times.

 

[chepas]

"Smack the Pony"? never heard of it.... Is it on cable or seotmhign.
