I don’t find the Angry Boys bit all that funny. But as everyone else says, the James Corden Smithy sketch is hilarious. And what, no mention of the Peter Kay Geraldine McQueen and Susan Boyle parody duet??
This didn’t no it for me.
I prefer real family comedy like Funnies Home Videos.
David – Any idea if ‘Comic Relief’ is coming to FTA? Sorry if I missed the announcement…
Haven’t heard of anything yet sorry, either FTA or Pay.
It would be nice to see an angry boy that is perhaps Ja’mie’s boyfriend – Ja’ mie being one of Lilley’s strong characters, whereas the twins seemed to be one of the weakest. Done well and very spot on but just not very funny.
Apparently the Angry Boys clip was broadcast after 1am which doesn’t fill me with confidence. It felt very much like We Can Be Heroes Again. Hopefully the series tries do something a bit new with the characters. I’m assuming it will air once Adam Hills finishes.
I am looking forward to Angry Boys, but I dont think bringing the Sim boys back was a good idea.
While I can understand the reaction to the Angry Boys clip, you have to remember this is just two characters from the series and that Chris Lilley will no doubt being saving the best gags for the series itself so I’m gonna wait for the series itself. That clip was kinda average but with the Sims, there is only so much you can do with them.
I agree BundyNelle
That “balls’ hunging out of pants ” skit sisn’t do it for me either…
Other then that can’t wait for Angry Boys.
David, didn’t one of the channels use to air Comic Relief ?, I seem to remember Rowan Atkinson’s Spider Man sketch.
I thought the final clip of “Smithy Saves …” was 100 times funnier than the Chris Lilley one. I for one would never have thought George Michael taking the mickey out of himself, Loved it.
As for Chris Lilley’s new show, sorry, I just don’t get ‘balls’ hunging out of pants a hilarious thing in life. Just my humble point of view …
Snickering away to myself.
Angry Boys looks bad and thats what I like about it.
I’d love to see the Inbetweeners road trip show.
Still snickering………..
@effdee
it must be easy to sit in your ivory tower (guessing you have never come up with a creatively original idea in your life) and dispense criticism?!?
the guy is a genius – one of a minority in the current Australian television landscape – and we should support him for harnessing both BBC and HBO (once again guessing they have a little more insight than your beautiful self) to produce what will no doubt be an international success.
keep hating!
Never mind Chris Lilley….just watch the last one ‘Smithy saves Comic Relief” it is fantastic
Thanks for that Angry Boys clip, it has confirmed my belief that it’s will be just more of the same old stale boring lowbrow stuff repeated yet again!
Now I know I have no need whatever to watch any of it to find out when it airs.
I don’t know how the hell the ABC has sunk to such a level… 🙁
Wow that Chris Lilley clip was boring…
Hi David, Was this the comic relief event that had Geraldine McQueen (Peter Kaye) doing a duet with Susan Boyle?
I liked the Chris Lilley video but totally agree that it’s almost exactly the same as was seen in his first series. He should’ve collaborated with a few different people or come up with an totally new idea I reckon.
Love The InBetweeners boys and am looking forward to their upcoming film.
That last one was hilarious! Good to see that the Poms don’t mind taking the p**s out of themselves for a good cause.
Doesn’t work for me.
As already mentioned…just more of the same.But i’ll watch & expect better.
Same gags as before, I was expected something New from Lilley.
I’m huge fan of Chris Lilley and watched both We Can Be Heroes and Summer Heights High. But everything I’ve seen from Angry Boys is just so average! It just feels like the same gags from WCBH and SHH is coming off stale and dull.
I would have liked him to do something different rather than stereotyping different subcultures and groups. How about a Curb Your Enthusiam sort of show with just one memorable character? Or a Frontline sort of show lampooning a particular industry? Why the need to dress up and do a bunch of different characters yet again?
I’ll still watch the show and I hope that it’s funny. But I still think he could have gone a different route…
I laughed. Juvenile, but funny.
I didn’t find this Angry Boy’s clip that funny at all..the characters are rather boring
The Doctor Who bit was great, and a nod to some classic stories.
I’m a very simple person and I like comedy that makes me laugh. I just wouldn’t enjoy watching half an hour of that, so it’s a pass from me.
