"I know it's meant to be bad, but it was just too bad to actually find funny. "

"Check out the 'similar shows' section. House? Scrubs!? Proof this app sucks or proof there's nothing else like it. "

"One of my favorite shows from Channel 4. Hilarious and I still find “things” to laugh at I didn’t see before"

"Matt Berry before What We Do In The Shadows. So cheesy and bad on purpose. I loved it! Reminds me of shows I watched when I was a kid in the ‘80s. Wish there were more episodes."

"Weird. Stupid. Bad on purpose. Magnificent."

My Own Worst Enemy

"Simply hilarious show that rewards multiple viewings. Also, check out Marenghi’s recent book “Terrortome” and the accompanying audiobook read by the dreamweaver himself."

"This show is such a hilarious quick binge (the 4 or 5 episodes are all on YouTube). I laugh out loud every time I watch it and I’ve introduced so many friends to it. Especially funny if you’ve ever worked in theatre or film. "

"The thing about parody and spoof is it's fine line between a piece that's full of witty commentary and one that's just bad. I fear this does slip into the latter category. But, fortunately not all the way, there are some chuckles to be had, here."
