First let me say although I live in American, I have British blood, and my favorite comedy show on TV Is Jon Oliver (British). I cannot get through one episode without cracking up from shows like "Last Week Tonight", The Daily Show, Bill Maher, Tonight Show with Stephen Colbert, and the new "President Show. I try to never miss any episodes, it's my favorite genre of comedy without a doubt.
Knowing this, I thought for sure I was going to going to enjoy "the Fake News Show". I quickly realized this is purely a British comedy show. I've often heard people criticize British comedy for not being funny but never really understood where this came from. I get it now.
The Fake news show although I agree with the content and punchlines of most of their jokes. The people on the show and the jokes are simply not that funny. It doesn't help that the audience has a fake sounding laugh every 15 seconds at jokes that are not funny at all. I don't know what it is about British humor that makes it not as funny with the exception of Jon Oliver, which in reality has an American style of comedy just with a British accent. Even he has criticized on the show last year British comedy for not being funny.
Anyway, I'm done with this show after episode 2. I think I heard a combination of 120+ laughs from the audience and I wasn't involved in any of them even slightly.
