Your Bad Self

One of the funniest sketch shows I've seen for a long time. Bonus that it happens to be made in Ireland.

While one or two characters to recur, the sketches are generally unrelated and varied. The one common thread is the format: A serious scene, with one spark of insanity. The consistently polished performances and duologue shines through the characters' idiosyncrasies. A credit to both the actors and the writers.

Without spoiling it, special mention must be made of Peter McDonald's "cute hoor" character. Brilliant stuff.

Anyway, you can make your own mind up. Many (All?) of the sketches are now on YouTube: www.youtube.com/user/YourBadSelf

I disagree with some of the other posts, but opinions vary and so do peoples sense of humour.

I loved the show and after reading some of the negative reviews I really felt the need to write this, I'm not one for the American sit coms and it was refreshing to actually see funny content in Your Bad Self instead of boring dialogue accompanied with canned laughter that most sit coms provide.

I would consider myself a harsh critic when it comes to comedy, but maybe I just have a sick sense of humour... I've seen the clips for this show on YouTube and I find it very, very funny! I've recognised some of the actors and rate this as one of the funniest comedy sketch shows around, you can tell the actors had a ball while filming it. The sketches provide a variety of hilarious situations so there is something for everybody, and I have laughed out loud at a lot of the content. I do admit not all sketches are hilarious, but I found most are.

Definitely worth a watch if you love a laugh, I rate this 10 out of 10, just wish they filmed more seasons.

Another dreadful so called comedy show from RTE - Ireland's national broadcaster and what a waste of license payers money this awful show is. I have watched it twice (under sufferance) and have not had a single laugh, it is just not funny in my opinion , I do have a sense of humor, but this show doesn't make me laugh, instead I cringe with embarrassment with how BAD it is! Whoever gave this show the green light should be ashamed of themselves. Ireland is meant to be a nation of funny people yet RTE still can't make a good comedy show.If you want a laugh then go and watch Father Ted - a classic and extremely funny comedy. My advice:avoid this show at all costs!

I was so utterly appalled by the quality of this so called 'comedy' that I was compelled to write a review.

Now after seeing 2 episodes I can honestly say that it is the worst comedy I have ever seen, let alone sketch comedy. The sketches shown were (with the notable exception of 2 mildly funny sketches) predominantly badly written, poorly acted, and displayed almost no discernible knowledge of comic timing or comedic conventions. Furthermore, of the sketches I saw there was clearly no thought put into seemingly all but 2 of them. They are poorly executed versions of incomplete and (it would appear) hastily written scripts that should never have been filmed to begin with.

That this show was green-lit, let alone made into a 6 series show, is despicable.

I watched clips of your bad self on YouTube. In my opinion, this show was dreadful, amateurish and not remotely funny. I felt like I was watching paint dry during the few episodes I saw.

RTE said it featured performances from some of the country's best comic actors, but I had never heard of any of them apart form Amy Huberman. On a positive note, I do think Amy Huberman is a very talented actress.

In my opinion, The Savage Eye is a far superior comedy show with much better acting and talent. A pity, as I was hoping to enjoy the online clips. Hopefully, we will get to see a lot more of David McSavage on our screens.

The show consisted of a bad attempt at black comedy that went wrong. Each to their own when it comes to comedy, but I would not recommend this show.
