Australian and British TV has produced many good, well remembered sketch comedy shows over the years like Fast Forward, The Big Gig, Full Frontal, Benny Hill, French & Saunders, Not the nine o'clock news etc.
In more recent years there have been not very funny efforts like Kinne and Get Krackin, which thankfully disappeared pretty quickly.
You'd think it should be easy to make some quite good comedy sendups of lame pretentious reality shows like Survivor, Master Chef or MAFS, sadly WITB fails at this almost completely I don't think I laughed once during the entire show. Comedy is about pushing the envelope and trying new things, neither of which WITB tries to do. Old shows like D-Gen did this and launched the careers of quite few comedians who went on to feature in many other shows over the years.
According to the advertising this show has something like 25 writers yet for that it just isn't funny.
