"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.

This stirring commentary on how people with mental disabilities experience life left me speechless after my first viewing. A brief and harsh half-hour window into the itinerant minds of those with less psychological fortune than ourselves, this show bombards the viewer with a staggering collection of largely disparate scenes that leave it's audience both confused and horrified while being utterly moved by the inspirational experience. My only criticism of this brilliant artistic piece would be its unerring relentlessness. I would have appreciated perhaps even a few moments of comic relief in the sea of heavy emotion that was this programme. However, I respect the artist's integrity to choose not to include a single piece of humour across the entire period for the sake of the message. Extremely impressed by this group of teenagers.

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.
