Thehibikiew Not even bad in a good way

ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

eddie052010 Now, let me start by saying that during its first seven seasons, I absolutely loved this show. While never being a regular viewer of the show (I mainly watch its repeats on Dave, as outside of Top Gear, it's the only thing they show), whenever I saw those episodes, I found the show to be very enjoyable indeed. It was consistently funny, had enough various rounds to keep the show fresh and to stand out in the panel show genre and there was strong chemistry between the comedians on the show that kept it compelling. So, initially I loved the show like many others, and us fans couldn't get enough of it.Sadly, however, it is a show that has seriously dropped in quality recently. Sure, most comedy shows eventually get tired for many reasons. Sitcoms for example can run out of steam if they stay on air for too long, as there's only so many ways to milk humour out of a certain situation, and because of this, they either become stale and repeat jokes (i.e. The Simpsons) or tries to become more daring and shocking, and backfires miserably (i.e. Family Guy). However, this is a completely different kettle of fish. To me, this show stopped being funny when Frankie Boyle left during series 7, after the BBC told him to tone down his humour. Quite rightly, he didn't agree with them, and promptly walked out of the show, claiming the BBC were afraid of "frightening the horses". It may sound pathetic and whiny to say that a show went downhill just because your favourite comedian from said show left it, but I was still open to watching the show. The other panelists were at least quite funny (even though Hugh Dennis is quite disposable) and other comedy series can still work despite a vital member being absent. However, in this case, it has seriously backfired. This is mainly due to how the panelists are no longer funny, due to how they play for the safe and easy jokes on a certain subject, as opposed to the more daring, edgier jokes they told previously. While I understand it opens up the show to a wider audience than it did before, to old fans like us, the lack of edge completely ruins the show as it seems we are watching a paler imitation of what came before, due to a lack of edge or (most importantly) humour. I assume that this lack of edge comes from one of two things: the BBC telling everyone to tone down their humour for a wider audience, or them doing it anyway out of fear of loss of support or firing after Frankie's exit. It also doesn't help that other vital parts of the show have been completely stripped from it over the years. Firstly, due to multiple comedians leaving the show (Frankie Boyle and Russell Howard for example), the chemistry between the panelists is simply not there anymore, and the new panelists feel really out of place because of it. On top of this, many of the more recent panelists are not funny at all, with ones like Milton Jones & Chris Addison being some of the worst offenders in that category. Sure, occasional guests can be quite funny, like Jack Whitehall or Andi Osho, but those are in a minority. Most guests, even ones that have been quite funny in the past aren't funny and seem to have been sucked out of life when on Mock The Week.Another more recent problem is the fact that the show doesn't cover enough major news stories. Sure, it perhaps didn't before, but at least they milked a lot of good jokes out of each subject that they mocked. However, now not only is the lack of humour making this problem more obvious, but the topics are boring as well. The constant celebrity & showbiz rounds aren't interesting or funny, & even when the show dips its toes into hot water with its topics, the show isn't funny then either. It also feels a lot longer than before because of it, with each 40-minute episode feeling like it could be on for 40 years. That is how boring and unfunny this once great show has become.So due to all this, what are we left with? An unfunny panel show trying to reclaim past glories and failing miserably, with a lack of edge, a lack of major news stories being covered and a lack of humour, as previous panelists lose their balls and new unfunny hacks try to show off their stuff, but fail to even raise a smirk, and rather you'll moan, groan and feel depressed as to what this show has become. Sure, the original series are fantastic and I recommend that you watch those series instead (which is why my rating isn't lower). Don't watch any new series of Mock the Week, as they are unfunny, boring and quite frankly dead in the water. Please, BBC cancel the show before it possibly gets any worse.

loopylassamy Freakanomic, what are you talking about? This is one of the best topical comedy shows around! I am always laughing at their jokes. They put different unusual people on to make it more interesting and so you see things from different people's views! Some people just don't appreciate the Shows on TV. Russell Howard MAKES the show! He is , rm, the play maker if you like. He makes the show funny and makes it all run smoothly.(most of the time anyways. LoL) I mean i only watch TV when mock the week is on, that's how good it is! I don't understand how anyone doesn't like this show! It's amazingly fantastic, and It is plain to see that all the people that are on the show are AMAZING!!!!!!!!

hotdoggrandpa_182 I know that lots of people search the internet trying to find opinions that they agree with so that they feel that they've judged something well, and haven't missed key information that may change their opinion. It can be frustrating, however, for people to find that what they previously considered an obvious and self-evident view to be controverted in the majority, without good reason. I found this when I saw that most people feel that this program deserves any sort of respect.This program is, to be polite, absolutely, Abo-LUTE-ly, God God Godawful. I could not conceive of a program being any worse than this. I don't think I could make it worse if I tried.None of the comedians are funny. The round up includes the bald Irish guy with the ridiculous voice and embarrassing delivery whose name my brain won't in-dignify me by remembering, the bloke who was the rat-ass smug fool of a doctor in... wait for it... MY HERO, the bloke with glasses who wishes he were David Baddiel, the Scottish one who I think may be genetically part-mouse, with special guests JO BRAND, the "comedienne" who's joke is being fat and probably a lesbian(not that there's anything wrong with that, but it's not exactly Morecambe and Wise)and the presenter, Dara O'Briain, an Irishman who, I'm bored of this now, is only very occasionally chuckle-worthy because he sometimes seems to radiate a pigeon's farts-worth of charisma.Oh yeah, and Rory Bremner. *Cough*.The show is scripted, yes, but the idea is that you're supposed to deliver the lines in a way that makes it look as if they're not. Nobody ever achieves this, and what's worse is the poor poor poor disguise they use to hide us from the fact that none of them are talented in the least bit. Things like "erm, how bout", and "haha, you know what..." At one point, I noticed that one comedian slipped something into the dialogue for which Bremner wasn't prepared. He resumed the charade with a professional giggle, and then an "oh yes, where was I?" Genius, Rory. Genius. Way to roll with it.The sections of the show where the contestants literally push each other out of the way to make a "joke" are cringe-worthy. And what's more, their contributions are so dire, contrived and sometimes bizarrely vague that if I were on the show I'd be making a special effort NOT to take the stage.You know what the worst part is? The audience laugh at it. Hearing your fellow citizens sitting and guffawing (with, it seems, conviction, unless THAT is scripted as well, which it hopefully and predictably is) at this dire, dire sh*te which makes you wish you'd been born a platypus, or any other animal that can't reveal it's awesome idiocy by virtue of its inability to laugh, is so soul destroying that I pray for a meteor soon.My fellow reviewers, if they really mean what they say about giving this cancer more than one star, inspire nothing more in me than sheer pity.The fact that people even say that this could be the next Have I Got News For You makes me want to pray for the soul of every man, woman and child on this Godforsaken planet.One Star.

sweetbum1989 Mock the week is amazinggg....its so entertaining that through a life that throws so much 'crap' at us this is the little thing that makes my week bearable!!! it never fails to deliver a smile on my lips and each comedian has their own flavour to add to the show making it a unique and superb show! Russell, Andy, Frankie and Hugh are the obvious faves but Gina and Ed are pretty cool too.This is a show that i desperately want all on DVD and one that i never miss, keeps me smiling, lightens up my week and one i miss when it is between seasons!The comedians don't get half the praise they should do for the entertainment they provide!! so sit back, relax and laugh your freaking ass off!!! i certainly do!
