Reviews

MegaMaexn This needs another review letting people know that great humour is very subjective and very difficult to achieve. In my option Steven Toast is not just an annoying character, but also not funny at all. 'Toast of London' is trying to be slapstick, but falls flat with shallow jokes and bloodless acting. But please, see for yourself, humour is very subjective as I say...

chearn-09739 Oh man, there are times when this show has some cringe worthy moments and some pretty un-PC and outdated jokes. But, frick, it's funny. I love Matt Berry. He's brilliant. Absolutely addictive show. Love it!

cornz_1-1 A genuinely eclectic mix of characters all mixed up in a vat of surreal comedy. From Matt berrys brilliant pronounciations and similies to Ray Purchase's attempts to undermine him at every opportunity. Those two are almost playing a real live Tom and Jerry. Every episode is a winner, funny from start to finish. Some utterly bizarre story lines and like an egg and chilli chutney sandwich it shouldn't work but by god it does. Different, bizarre and very very funny. Clem Fandango is a hidden star of the show considering his only main line is "Hello Steven, this is Clem fandango, can you hear me Steven" Some of the voice overs they have Steven doing are truly comedic genius. Check out the gay porn scence for a laugh. The only thing i would say is this is likely to be a marmite comedy, you'll love it or hate it, but as we all know, marmite lovers are just better than the haters.

shide_85 A dry comedy show based in England that takes place in the setting of b-rated theatre and movie stages due to it's lead being a semi-known actor. It also revolves around his close friend, his agent and his love life. This is another one of those shows that could just as well have featured Matt LeBlanc and been in a Hollywood setting, the only difference being that this has some hitting (read; funny) dry humor (that at times is one of a kind and inventative). However, that is mixed out with a music number now and then (those are slipped in somewhat well) as well as not so original or not hitting comedic bits, overall it's alright as it actually leads to a few real laughs and a lot of chuckles.Regarding the dry humor it is alright, it's not at par with coupling or "the worst..." "...of my life" neither is it close to the true older giants but it's funnier than most projects coming out of Hollywood - so it has that going for it. The dialogue is also wittingly written. End Rant: Humor today needs a revamp. For me it seems like most have gone loud and taken an unintelligent turn (with few exceptions). Though, at least in the nation I'm in, the new names aren't taken care of in any way near a good way (there are new comedic names that arise but none to keep them in business and advance them - as far as i know).
