Mitchell & Webb Look - Shit or not Shit?

[slake]

Tonight was the first of the new series I have watched and it was really shit. I quite liked the previous series but this was terrible. In fact I cannot remember laughing even once.

 

[andy2002]

Last week's wasn't a lot better. There's a real dip in quality noticeable and far too much recycling of old ideas.

 

[Gingerman]

Occassionally funny, not a touch on Peep Show.

Not even occassionally funny for me,bring on a new series of Peep Show!!!!

Same with me - I like them as performers but this was woefully unfunny

 

[danny la rouge]

It's better than Peep Show.

Oh, come on. it's poor, but it's at least got a couple of smiles in it. The pedantic killer sketch was mildly amusing last week.

I've not seen the new series of Mitchell and Webb, but Peep Show is very good.

No it isn't. Or at least, not by any definition of "good" I know.

 

[Crispy]

Well, they don't actually write peep show, so that would explain it

 

[danny la rouge]

I like David Mitchell. He's charming on panel shows. His mate's a bit awkward, though.

 

[Wolveryeti]

Utter toilet. Really really bad, suicide inducing levels of unfunny.

At the risk of being labelled an apostate, can I say I prefer it to Peep Show? This series is okay, but I there's been better.

I agree. It's much better. It's not very good, but it's much better than the Peep Show.

He is a prig. A proper Eustace.

 

[Andrew Hertford]

He is a prig. A proper Eustace.

Whassat then?

I think he's a comic genius. Incredibly sharp.

Could never get in to the Peep Show, there's just so much 'cringe-comedy' on TV these days and I don't think it was the best exponent of that genre

 

[vauxhallmum]

I think my sense of humour must be really out of step or something. I posted how much I hate Two and a Half men when everyone else seemed to love it and now I confess to laughing ALOT and out loud at Mitchell and Webb. Help me I'm feeling lonely. I'd do a sad face if I knew where the smileys were now.

 

[fogbat]

I'm watching episode 2 of the new series now.

It's dire

 

[sleaterkinney]

I like it, not every sketch is funny but there is enough there to laugh about.

 

[fogbat]

It did make me want a Lion Bar, though.

 

[N_igma]

I like their humour, better than most sketch shows that pass for tv these days.

Exactly.

Oh, That Eustace.

 

[paolo]

that's so dark - it's the best thing they've done

Oh yeah... liked that alot. The rest was fairly poor.

 

[Motown_ben]

Occasionally very funny but its got quite a high miss to hit ratio. Im talking about the TV show as iv never heard their radio show.

 

[Limejuice]

It's weak. Thumb down.

I'd agree with that. It is good in parts. I liked the Late Night Dog Poker, the Lion Bar ones, the killer pedant . . .

 

[editor]

It's getting weaker and weaker these days.
