Comedy is laughter and love. SNL UK is the opposite
It will only succeed in season two if your heads stay focused on the job. Comedy is hard work.
BBC Breakfast gaat over nieuwe James Bond Laten ze keer heel het script veranderen beetje zoals die 007 film van Mike Myers laten ze nu gewoon keer een Zwarte James Bond nemen die Zwaar homofiel is
Haven’t seen any of it, haven’t heard anyone talking about it…
unfunny
selfrighteous
untalented
DEI hired
virtue signal propaganda
… A lot comes to mind when watching them promoting their crap
This cast is straight outta middle class Middlesex, I couldn't see anything working class here, I miss Rik and Ade, Nigel and Dawn, Jen, Josie Lawrence, Tony Slattery, Alexi, an entire cast born of working class struggle that understand what it happening socially and economically, understood politics, understood comedy and above all understood the platform they have and how their input makes a difference.
These chumps biggest worry is whether their hair matches their lippy.
The show no one is talking about…
It’s just not funny at all. 🤷♂️
You going to show the protests in london? BBC propaganda shithouses
This will be as funny as a terminal illness diagnosis.
Most ill-conceived money-grab ever! 💯🤬🤮
I've only seen the US SNL a few times and it was never funny and now we have a UK version of an unfunny show. British comedy should lead the way not follow.
Where do you even find these weirdos? At yiffing conventions? Even their families won't watch the show.
Snl uk doesnt have the same authenticity and cheerful comedic atmosphere as SNL in the US. SNL UK feels very forced and not authentic 👎
It's cultural irrelevant people live!!!
British humour was always my favourite, or at least it was back in the 70s, 80s and 90s
This modern sterilised tick box don’t offend anyone version is some of the worst on the planet
I've been streaming it from th U.S. and love it!
How can you have a comedy show with a complete cast of people I've sever seen or heard of in the comedy space
More people watching paint dry…
SNL UK is awful.
Painfully cringe, unfunny and pathetically lame.
Love how they dropped this today as the season 1 finale is LIVE tonight!
This has been my favourite show since they started it back on March 21st!
I’m so excited for Season 2 to start in September!
I’m excited that’ll be 12 episodes this time round too!
How is this show exactly “forced”?
Clearly, the cast and crew have had a lot of fun making this show every single week!
The sketches are fun, original and unhinged. Plus, they literally can swear on this version of the show unlike the US version!
Also, y’all criticising a show that shouldn’t be in the UK is crazy in my honest opinion. Let’s call a spade of spades here, it took 51 WHOLE YEARS for an official UK version of a sketch comedy show based across the pond to even make it here in the UK & y’all saying negative things about this show because of how forced & cringe it is.
Let me tell you something, these people actually spend a whole week rehearsing, working & practicing these sketches in front of a live studio audience every single week with the host being a part of the sketches too.
If this show isn’t your cup of tea, don’t watch it then.
If you don’t like this show, then find something else to watch.
Don’t come on here and be someone who clearly wants to criticise a show and saying that it shouldn’t be allowed on British shores and on British Television.
It’s your choice whether you wanna watch it or not. Nobody is forcing you to watch it.
As someone who was skeptical like everyone else was before the show even began, I tried to remain positive and wanted to see what a British version of a US sketch show would look like on British Television & the moment I watched it live, I immediately enjoyed it & I’ve watched all the episodes since then and it genuinely has made me laugh and Ive throughly enjoyed every single second of it.
At the end of the day, not everyone will be in to this kind of stuff but, I think everyone has done a fantastic job to give us a great show as well as, a great series & I’m very much looking forward to season 2 in September!
I think the writing has been amazing and the show couldn’t have a better cast in the UK version!
George Fouracres has definitely been my favourite cast member in the series & I can’t wait to see him in Season 2 of SNL UK!
Huh? Isn't this an American show? What's the relevance to the BBC's British taxpayer funders?
I will stick will Monty Python
Like the US version, it's been quite hit & miss at times, but overall it has been decent enough. The Aimee Lou Wood episode was pretty good.
The commander who made Trump tremble with fear!!! The assassination attempt on the commander, the full story is on my channel.
Usual British fry(not funny) humor. Bearable if you like to laugh by saying "that was funny"😅
