FeistyUpper If you don't like this, we can't be friends.
Teringer An Exercise In Nonsense
Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Curt Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.
robertmalone-61792 Ricky gervais makes this show what it is, hes great with the kids and makes the whole thing funny and educating, highly recommend
kaitronious This show is entertaining, they have some of the kids from BuzzFeed and some I don't recognize. They are adorable, of course. That's not my issue with them, it's that they often seem bored and strained as if they really aren't having a good time. Which isn't surprising because they are basically taking a pop quiz while Ricky fake laughs at their jokes. The biggest problem I have with this "game", if you can call it that, is the fact that a person can ultimately get every question wrong and as long as the children know their basic trivia answers THE DUMB PERSON STILL WINS A BUNCH OF MONEY. They knock off the largest sum winnable after the contestant gets a question wrong, but if the children save them, they continue on. There is NO LIMIT to how many times this can occur. Secondly, if the contestant is doing well, and they get JUST ONE wrong and the the children are unable to answer correctly, they get absolutely nothing, no matter how far they have made it through the game! It's infuriating to watch the idiots go home with (not exactly earned) prize money, and people who had most of the knowledge to get so far got stiffed.
lol234 Well, first you get the contestants. And they are really, really excited to be there. I mean, they're super excited. And that's hilarious. They also love to explain how they know the answers to kid friendly questions. Do you want to know how someone knows a plot point about The Little Mermaid? Because you're going to find out.Then there's Fred Savage. And he's really, really excited to meet the guests. I mean, he's super excited. And that's hilarious. And he's bringing the enthusiasm. When someone answers a kid friendly question, Fred's there to make them feel like they just cracked the Enigma machine.And what can I say about Gervais? He is really, really excited to talk to the kids. I mean he's super excited. And that's hilarious. Now some of you may think that Gervais has made a career on incisive, sardonic humour and that sitting in a room with a bunch of kids trying to force laughs out of their observations would be the sort of lightweight pablum he'd have parodied earlier, but that doesn't matter because everyone is having such a good time!
hddu10-819-37458 Once upon a time, there was a child-actor and a British so-called comedian. Both had careers in their own right; one winning awards and adulation for his expert performance in a thought-provoking, coming-of-age show, the other receiving l acclaim for his part in a ground-breaking sit-com that turned into an international franchise. Now, we are witnessing the death and demise of both of their careers in the oncology unit that is the prime-time game show. Ricky Gervais has stated on several occasions how he dislikes children (especially being around them in restaurants, friends' houses etc), yet every time a child says something remotely "cute" on this show, he bursts into a hideous laugh that would frighten a hyena-- and we, the audience are supposed to believe he is actually having fun, when in reality he looks like he is cursing his manager for telling him this was the best thing he could get at this stage of his "career". Conceptually, this show is derivative of one done in the 80's called "Child's Play", however times have changed, and even the quick editing can't make Ricky tolerable, or "Child Support" funny (or even remotely entertaining).
