Probably the worst all in group challenge this season. All very weak. Joel Creasey was pretty shocking. He also kept looking at the audience.
Wednesday, 20 September at 7.30pm On 10 And 10 Play.
Next Wednesday, the iconic blue door is swinging open to Dane Simpson, Melanie Bracewell, Rhys Nicholson and Urzila Carlson.
Thank God You’re Here 's power-suited host, Celia Pacquola, will put these performers through their paces, while a very familiar face judges the madcap action.
Will all hail the great Dane? Will Urzila reign supreme the second time around?
I wonder if they’ve only scouted a certain number of comedians for this, seeing that Urzila is back again next week. I would’ve thought people like Kitty Flanagan, Anne Edmonds etc would’ve featured on it too.
Just airing now in SA, agreed this isn’t great. At least the audience liked it.
Great episode tonight with four strong performances. The newcomers are clearly learning what sort of performance works.
Kitty could be a judge on next week’s show.
Colin Lane was great with some quick comebacks and great banter. He would have done better than some of those challengers. I thought Julia and Lloyd were best in the individual challenge but Frankie did well in the group challenge.
Agree that the all in challenge wasn’t the strongest but everyone was hilarious in their individual acts.
He Huang was brilliant the other week, just about my favourite one so far, her quick witted answers and composure while sounding both somewhat plausible but also funny was a rarity. “The BioBed evaporates you”
Most have been something different in my air! I thought tonight’s episode was the best so far. Not a big Joel Creasy fan but I thought he was ok. IMO Julia was best.
If this thread has reminded me of one thing, it’s how subjective comedy really is. A hell of a lot of the contestants’ performances described here as hilarious or similar have been anything but imo. And vice versa.
Overall it just feels weaker than it’s initial run to me - the highlights seem a bit more sparse. Also think the pre-recorded challenges are needed to break things up a bit.
Still enjoyable, just not at the same level as previously imo.
If they could go all out and swear or not second think every word they say in case it offended someone then the show would be great!
If you can’t be on that show without swearing then you don’t deserve to be there at all.
Most aussie comedies have swearing. Look at all of Chris Lilley stuff and the recent Deadloch. It just gives that extra oomf to the words
They do that already to some extent. TBH i don’t think the show needs it.
yeah and where is he now?
Unfortunately, his shows still stand up imo. Also they are slowly putting back up on streaming services
Agree. I’ve only seen 3 episodes since it returned but was feeling underwhelmed by the previous ones. Last night though I had a good laugh at most of the acts. The group act was probably the weakest but all 4 individual stints were great. Joel Creasey really had me LOL especially with his reaction to Poh being on set.
I think the “over the top” swearing from the lead character in Deadloch is what makes it rubbish. Repetitive swearing is not funny. It’s so distracting from the storyline. They toned it down slightly after episode 3 and it’s almost bearable.
Having someone continuously swearing on Thank God You’re Here will not make it funnier.
Wow, yes that character takes a bit of getting used to, but calling it rubbish, just wow.
Deadloch is prob my favourite show this year.
