Summer Heights High

I know it got panned by Ronnie B but this HBO show Sundays @ 1030 is pretty damn funny. Its set as a mockumentary in an Australian High School with one guy playing 3 different characters. Its a short run I think 8 episodes. They're already 4 in but its on demand. Give it a shot. I didn't expect much but its funny stuff.

worst attempt at a comedy i've ever seen.


There is nothing worse than a lame "Mockumentary". When they are done right it can be good, but bad ones

ouch

I dont think Ive ever watched anything more unfunny.

Just dreadful. I tried thinking that maybe it was doing a Neil Hamburger "anti-comedy" thing, but I don't think so. It's just lame.

I need to reduce my cable bill anyway. HBO can probably go now.

[GreatAmericanZero]

this is the thing i don't understand

ok the character thats a "bully". I can understand the appeal of him because he does seem original. To me, its just "he says inappropriate things" joke repeated over and over again, but at least he seems somewhat original.


The popular girl and the overly gay drama teacher....how many times have we seen these characters? Just over and over and over again with no original aspects.

Its just a little fill in show for 8 weeks. Its got a few moments. I didnt mean to imply it was the next Curb your Enthuisiasm. We've gotten a few laugh from it is all. Theres ALOT worse crap on right now.


I can't believe I'm even defending this show myself. Its worth the 22 minutes a week for me to get a few laughs for a few weeks



edit the next thread in line here is No Fs for kids anymore:lol:

I love this show. The break up scene between Sebastien and Ja'mie is so fucking hilarious. I find it more watchable than Life and Times of Tim, but that's just my opinion.

While it's not on my list of all-time HBO favorites, I do admit to checking it out and getting a few chuckles every now and again.

If this show was animated you douches would be raving about how goddamn funny it is. And that's coming from a puppet.

Is there anything between genius and shit? Come on it's not perfect but it's not "My Name is Earl" either.
