Open Slather (2015)
This is the worst "comedy" show
This show is just awful.
Normally I like sketch shows and understand that some jokes aren't going to be as funny as others. But, although some jokes in Open Slather are funny, they quickly become painful to watch as they drag on and on.
I literally cannot understand what is funny about some jokes. I just turned on an episode with a sketch about an adult man wanting to cross the road but the crossing guard wouldn't let him. When he attempted to cross without her, he was hit by a truck. Is it saying crossing guards at schools are pointless? Is that considered funny?
I cannot identify the target audience of the show. I feel like many of the sketches are at least slightly homophobic and some, I think, are even a little transphobic. They make fun of young people and pop culture but they also try (and often fail) to make pop culture references and appeal to young people.
The cast, I think, are good actors who can deliver their lines pretty well. The issue is that they are given terrible lines.
I cannot understand why anybody would like this show. The occasional good sketch doesn't make up for everything else.
