"You're Skitting Me" is a great vehicle for school-aged comedy writers and performers to develop or hone their skills.The show is obviously low budget but has some great talent.Yes, other reviewers, some of the gags fall a bit flat or come across unfunny but judge the efforts by the context, i.e. 14,15, 16 and 17 year olds (with a few adults used as support cast members) taking on social issues, contemporary entertainment, teen issues and more.People who watch it expecting a slick Johnny Carson or Bert Newton or The Two Ronnies won't get that ... but they will get something that's better than 95% of high school drama or comedy skits in school assembly halls.Remember, folks, Paul Hogan, the great Australian TV comic, working with a host of writers and adult comedy actors found it very hard to do a 13 show season annually and not have some flat bits..

Please take the show off the air I can't bear it any more. All the cast bar molly should be blacklisted they are horrible. They are repetitive and don't understand when something doesn't work they keep reusing the same themes and cast members and drag out an idea for example mario brothers, cave men, old stupid Indian, zombies to the point of ad nauseum. There is no point to this show its just a painful time waster. I respect abc3 but this show brings the channel down. Abc3 should review its content and axe the show and replace it with child friendly content instead of you're skitting me which is full of stupidity and repetition.

Sure, it can be cheesy, sure it can be little hit and miss, just like EVERY comedy skit show in history! Overall it delivers a lot more often than many other Australian skit shows have and I'd say it is actually one of the most consistent I've seen, adult shows included - the regular bits and recurring characters are tight and simple enough to stay enjoyable, not wearing or wrung out (as can often be the case with skit shows). And they do all this for kids, so without being able to draw on adult material. My kids watch it and love it, and it's one of the few shows they watch that I can happily watch with them. For kids between 6-16 and their parents its a winner, and I dare say many adults could enjoy it if they like a more whimsical oddball kind of humour.

My first impressions of the show seemed good and I was interested, up until the actors decided to TRY and be funny. I must emphasize try as they did, but failed on levels that can not be named. They dare to try and make fun of other comedies in one of their acts trying to point out how boring and repetitive they are making it very ironic as they pull of the same things. The skits are bland in no way funny and no one should waste their time watching this as I have. The thought of the show seemed good as I have not heard of another show with a cast like this, but as said I was not impressed at all. To summarize, the show is very boring and repetitive and could possibly entertain a brain dead audience with no sense of humor but even with that I doubt they would laugh.
