This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

I admit that I only lasted 1/2 the way through first episode, but it was so bad that I couldn't watch any more episodes. I am big comedy fan and I thought this would be pretty cool. The promo clips are very good. Unfortunately there is nothing much funny between them in the actual show. I still think the adds they are running look great- but they are not going to convince me to watch the show The jokes are incredibly drawn out, and the drawn-out parts of full of violent and aggressive interactions and language and gratuitous sex. The bulk of the content seems to be sensationalistic rather than comic. In some ways it is like a retelling of the same joke over and over, where the real joke is how long they can spin out what is supposed to be a joke.

Stupid to look at, not very practical, but in the end very very funny. Well done Jungleboys. If you don't think it is funny try Friends Monday to Friday on Go. This is the real deal, genuine sketch comedy, which has been missing on Australian TV since Rod Quantrock didn't care who he made fun of. It isn't rocket science, it is comedy and not for everyone which is what makes this so good.There is edge, satire and a reinforcement that Australians are not English or American, they don't care that most of the ABC audience won't either like it or get it and they don't care if they don't get another season. Five stars.

You know how some comedies like to slowly descend into the insanity of the show? Eg, the way Sunny in Philly goes from bar life to terrorism in around 20 mins? Well, this show is made up of bits, each one about 2 to 5 minutes long, and they start at insane and move up from there. You don't have to wait for the talking dog, the dog is talking from the beginning and he might actually be the straight man for the skit, because that's the level of outrageous, audacious mind-boggling nonsense this is. That's how insane this is. Think about the glory days of snl. And multiply that by about 15.This is perfect. Utterly perfect for anybody who liked Frisky Dingo, Sealab, Wilfred, Sunny, League... that kind of stuff. It's awesome.PLUS - Australian accents. Everybody loves Aussies. What more can you want? This is a guaranteed laugh. You have to check it out. The 3.9 rating is profane. This is 10 star gold. Watch and see. I dare you not to laugh. This was engineered for laughter. If you don't like this, your sense of comedy is broken beyond any hope of redemption or salvage.

I don't want to be a jerk, but this show is just not funny and its not cause Im some old man, i'm only twenty years old. But the thing is I can appreciate good humor, which this isn't. The creators and ABC have told us that this is a darker, surreal comedy. Unfortunately the creators have mixed up 'dark' with vulgar. The show tries to shock the laughs out of us with no success, like with a OH and S safety inspector at a porn shoot. Its not funny its just vulgar and stupid. Sketch comedy should come out of no where and make you laugh, with this sketch i knew what was gonna happen the moment that guy came on screen (and yes i can see how that links with the porn scenario <-- thats actually funny). Again the creators have told us that they wish to create longer length sketches. The whole idea of sketches are they are meant to be short and quick and funny. Packed full of laughs within a short time span. These sketches go for too long and the jokes don't keep up. Many of the sketches you can guess the punchline before it occurs, like when the wife tells her husband (who always wears hats) that she thinks he is bald and when he takes off his hat, oh would you look at that she wants a divorce. That isn't dark humor, its silly and contrived and easily guessable. Overall unless your a 15 year old boy whose watching TV by himself, this show will just annoy you. There has to be better shows out there for ABC, if there's not there is little hope for Australian television. 3/10
