Big Bite Audience Reviews

TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film
Actuakers One of my all time favorites.
Glimmerubro It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.
Tayloriona Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
jasonbourne40 This was a painful example of a cheap, boring and unoriginal show produced by Australian TV stations to fulfil local content quotas. The writing was truly terrible and I'm not surprised that the writers are those responsible for the worst Australian film in recent memory the Honerable Wally Norman.Nothing about this TV series was funny - ever - not even mildly amusing. It was just tired and BAD and, worst of all, it really thought it was funny. It was simply embarrassing to watch.There is something very suss about this show being given 10 out of 10 on IMDb. Try to find a (real) review by a (real) Australian viewer of the show (there weren't many) and it is impossible. Or crazy. There are loafs of bread that are funnier than this show. Avoid the show at all cost and if it does come out on DVD, remember that the laughter THAT deserves was unintentional.
johnjslaven I am surprised to see any negative comments on this excellent show, that was widely hailed on its initial release in 2003 as revitalising the sketch comedy format on Australian TV.The performing and the writing (a lot of the performers have gone on to other notable TV shows and films, including CNNNN) was mostly top notch, and it stayed funny right through its run.My personal favourites were the news, with Lee Lin Chin, and Mr G, which was just brilliant, although there were a lot of other funny characters including Johnny Tapp, that were great.Very strangely, Channel Seven spun the show off into another show that lasted only a few episodes earlier in 2004.I guess we won't see the return of this show now, but a lot of its writers are now on 'Comedy Inc.', which not surprisingly is a lot funnier and cleverer than its first series.I'll never forget this show, and I hope Seven releases it on DVD soon.
paulaschilton I agree with the majority of the comments about this show. It's got some fantastic, funny stuff, and it's a shame the show didn't run longer (Channel Seven spun it off into a terrible show that lasted about 4 episodes). Chris Lilley, whose characters included Mr G and Extreme Darren, got his start on this show, along with Rebecca Deunamuno who's now on CNNN, and Andrew O'Keefe, currently the new star of Channel Seven. I'm surprised with the comment made by the last user. This show is much funnier than Skithouse and the old Comedy Inc. If the new Comedy Inc. series is any good, it's because two of the writers from this show, Angus Fitzsimons and Kevin Brumpton, are the new head writers of Comedy Inc. I agree with the comment by Daz B. This show really will end up a classic. I hope Channel Seven keeps replays it soon.
darryn bates I only started getting into this show after catching some one hour specials that aired this year. I wasn't expecting much from a commercial network comedy show. But it turns out to be incredibly funny, with a few performers who appear certain to end up staples of comedy television in Australia. Rebecca De Unamano, whose impersonations of Indira Naidu and Lee Lin Chin are uncanny, has already gone on to great things with 'CNNN'. Chris Lilley's 'Tommy Lee', and Mr G are also corkers, along with almost anything by Andrew Dyer (eg Johnny Tapp, Jim Waley) and Andrew O'Keefe (now the host of Deal or No Deal). Top direction from 'Roy Hollsotter Live's' Matthew Saville also features. The show was spun off into a woeful program 'Hamish and Andy' that occasionally featured some of the Big Bite performers, but seems to have been made by a totally different production team, and lasted just a few weeks before being axed. If like me you enjoyed this original show, consider checking out 'CNNN' (featuring some of the same writers) and the very underrated and very funny film 'The Honourable Wally Norman', co-written by the Big Bite's head writer, and directed by the legendary Ted Emery of 'Kath and Kim' and 'Fast Forward' fame. This show has made me a big fan of lots of the people on it, and shows there is real hope for the future of Aussie comedy TV.
