School of Comedy

Basq

Kids aren't funny, witty or particular good actors..

.. Channel 4, give us a break!

You've produced plenty of great comedies over the years but getting a bunch of 15 years old to perform comedy for 30 minutes just reeks of desperation. It's almost like they tried to be solely innovative without any effort gone into writing or anything else for that matter!

And I'd never hit a child.. but that lad from 'Son of Rambow'... I'd be fecking tempted!

South African accents are funny.

You're funny.


Its stand-up with any element of comedy or Skins crossed out

Didn't get the reference I'm guessing so.

At least Misfits has humour (and actors), this doesnt

On Mock the Week they were discussing the amount of time Channel 4 have to find to make up for the loss of Big Brother and Frankie Boyle said something along the lines of "You can imagine the brainstorming session at Channel 4 right now, every sentence ending with "...Crossed with Skins!"". Seems he was right, take something like stand-up comedy but have it with young people, like in Skins, coz it's great right!?

Cheers, I just dont get to watch enough tele

As for C4 "a cunning plan indeed with just one minor flaw"
a dearth of comedy.

Kids can be hilarious, just not these ones.

So the weekly news crossed with Skins then Frankie:pac:

.SONIC.

have watched a few episodes of this, not exactly good, but some bits make me laugh

I get it now.

Remember the Tuesday you had double Irish with Mrs Wotsherface followed by double Maths and History, you'd forgotten your lunch, hadnt learned your theorem or done you essay, the heating was broken and your shoes still soaking from standing in the rain waiting for the bus.

That's School of Comedy (complete with spawn of Chucky)

Just dreadful, tedious and very far from funny.
Why havent they killed it off yet?

At least they had the Inbetweeners before it and Terry Tibbs after. That's schooling.

It's dreadful stuff, can't watch it for more than 5mins before I get the urge to strangle that ugly pug nosed kid who looks like he belongs in The Little Rascals. Whoever commissioned this or whoever decided the time slot for the show should be sacked as it's an absolute flop.

MrStuffins

Watched it for the first time tonight.

Not amazing, but not the worst comedy on TV (Two and a Half men, i'm looking at you)

Some parts made me laugh.

I caught an episode for the first time last night and there were a few lol moments.

drama kids who think being loud is funny, maybe if you havn't seen this stuff a million times before, remeber that sketch show on utv where i think they used to do skits that were sent in by viewers just terrible, its also like your bad self, there a reason alot of sketch shows start on radio, cos they shouldn't be allowed on tv till they get good.
