Painful to Watch
icelandknight7 April 2021
Although Rhod CAN be a funny comedian, as can be heard on "4 Stand Up" (radio show?) this panel show was painful to watch, I only made it through 2 episodes, before I had no pity left. Its sad when one can see the contestants giving each other polite laughs, to boring unfunny rubbish that happened to them. I can't believe no one watched this, before it aired, and pulled the plug before people's reputations were irreparably damaged, by showing others how unfunny, boring and silly they can be. I think it may help if one "knew" who these "celebrities" were, before they killed their careers on this boring show. The side facial shots are unflattering, people are looking away, when it is cut to them, its just ALL awful. Its ALMOST as if this was a DARE "how bad can we make a show." I don't want to sound sexist, but as a guy, the cleavage on the woman in episode 2 did make me fast forward to when she was on the screen, and again. The guys were just so boring and uninteresting, and the discussion was so pointless... There was some rule about a wooden chest, in which some stuff was thrown, for some reason. It was just so uncaptivating, one did not even care what THAT was about. I donpt know who this was FOR, but probably only of interest to the families pf these (unknown, to me) "celebrities". Its like watching "celebrities" on Australian shows... Who knows who they are, and who cares! Its amusing because they have their own top songs,m that THEY all know... but no one else does. Same with this show. Its probably only for English people... no, they would die of how boring it is, too. Watch UK "Would I lie To You" at least that can be funny, and you don't really have to know who the people taking part are.

I shall firstly that Rhod Gilbert is one of the funniest comedians to watch in a live show. So what on earth is he doing this rubbish for? Is he really short of money? Should we have a whip round?

This nonsense is unwatchable. Who are these unheard of "celebrities" and why are they so boring? Couldn't watch a whole episode and shall not be trying another one. Let Rhod go back to what he does best and drop all records of this drivel into the nearest bottomless pit!
