My choice: Comedy Inc. the acting is better, the jokes are more creative and isnt as one dimensional as skithouse.

IMO, skithouse is worst than the sketch show

some of skithouse's skits don't even make sense
e.g. the one where the golfer is taking a putt and then a guy bashes away on his drums...wtf?! where did the drummer come from..

comedy inc. is good, but nothing beats full frontal/fast forward!

i agree skithouse is definitely shithouse, you would have thought rove and his crew could have come up with something better.

hahaha, yeah i could figure that out
but what i meant was that it was stupid how they just panned the camera to the right to reveal the drummer when the golfer was about to take the shot...like he came outta nowhere

Definately bring back full frontal with the eric bana characters. I thought when comedy inc copied shows, they really did great impersonations. CNNNN isnt really sketch but its still good at times. Saturday Night Live when it was with adam sandler, david spade, phil hartman, all those early 90s stars...that was great. About skithouse, how can anything with Corrine Grant be good?

i agree that comedy inc does a pretty good job at impersonating shows and other media personalities. one of the guys on it was from full frontal just before it finished ( the guy that did michael jackson adn bert newton in the last episodes.
Does anybody remember a show called Russell Gilbert Live? it replaced hey hey its saturday for a while after it finished a few years ago. It was pretty funny. He also came out with a sketch show after that called 'Russell was here.' It was first class sketch (equal to full frontal IMO) but unfortunately it only had like 5 epidodes:(

i prefer comedy inc better (but the british show, the sketch show is better than both of em put together).

some skits in skithouse are ok, but overall, comedy inc has more funny sketches than skithouse.

but then, the fac that comed inc is an hour long sometimes makes u feel it drags a bit. half an hour of skits is more entertaining. u sorta get tired of laughing in an hour. :/

I haven't watched Comedy inc. but skithouse is soooo lame, and on the contrary to some of the other opinions here, i wouldnt have expected anything else from "roving enterprises".

Look behind you
I agree with everyone (nearly). The sketch show is tops.
AND, I want full frontal and fast forward back.

I love british humour.

Both are crap, and they have nothing over Full Frontal during the Poida days.
And Mr Poita, how do you plan on lighting the flame? *flicks cigarette butt* :lol:

Good times.

Skithouse is ok because it's random. Haven't seen Comedy Inc yet. :)

British comedy is so lame it shits me up the wall (hence the skit show is shit).
I like some of Skithouse. Its produced by Daina Read who was in the old full frontal so I can see little bits of it in the show n thats why I like it.
I don't really like Comedy inc cos its all take-offs of commercials and stuff and I don't think it takes much skill to produce anyone could do it. But they both have some comedy value I guess

No, that's what made Full Frontal so funny, until the final year. It also dealt with some current issues, the best being the Victorian ambulance turning up at the funeral (Shithouse managed a very poor remake, but with the police).

This form of comedy doesn't work when two, soon to be three, similar shows appear at the same time.
