StormSworder Review of Tittybangbang

Tittybangbang (2005–2007)

How can so many talented actors star in such trash?

[1/10 · 22 January 2009]

Comedy shows which often rely on catch-phrases can work if there's depth to the characters and something to laugh at besides the catch-phrase. For example, Little Britain, The Fast Show and The Catherine Tate Show are hilarious. But Tittybangbang is comedy writing of the laziest kind. Each show consists of the same characters popping up, saying the same things. The problem is that half the catch-phrases in this show aren't funny to start with. Dragged out to an entire series they're a total chore to sit through. A lot of the time it's just a case of "look at the funny people". Once you've seen the buck-toothed posh woman or the half-naked middle-aged women once there's nothing more to them. Characters like the Jamaican-talking gang, Salty Tales and the film star sketches are total filler material, lack any gags of any kind. A lot of it is just in-yer-face crudeness without any style or humour. The real shame is that the two female leads are great at doing a wide range of characters, and there's a strong supporting cast. Unfortunately it doesn't matter who's in it. If you ain't got the scripts then you ain't got the show.
