15 days agoI also like the concept, but many of the topics are not what I would expect. What I expected and found really funny were topics like Ikechukwu Ufomadu’s “not much”, Foreign’s “reaction creators” or Augusta Chapman’s "Getting Involved in Some Hoopla.”. But then we have people people complaining about something very specific that (they claim) happened to them or how someone famous named their child. Looking back it seems the topics have become more nonsensical and unfunny on every episode.
Like few other shows on Nebula, this falls in the unflattering middle ground where they can make the production look quite professional, but it just highlights the flaws.
There’s something that doesn’t go well with me on Adam and Ben and I always hope they lose. Unfortunately they have the edge because of they have all the experience of this show and familiarity with each other. Tom seemed a bit uncomfortable here. Probably because this is an actual competition with a lot of stress factors and he seemed very competitive. Everything else I’ve seen him on has been much more casual in a controlled environment. On the Layover podcast he sounded more like the usual. I really liked the Technical Difficulties references and on the cut bits there were many more one-off comments that didn’t fit the episodes.
