Awfully bad just caught the last half of the new episode tonight. Thought I'd give it another chance as I havnt watched an episode since Frankie Boyle left.
One of jokes were so lame that even the audience groaned at it. It now is literally comedians like Chris Addison annoyingly repeating their tour jokes. (why bother paying to see them anymore?) This show is on its backside and Dara is the only person worth tuning in for.
Its sad to say as I used to rather like this show.

I haven't watched it in ages but I have to say Andy Parsons is the least funny person I ever heard speak.

Could be worse - the teams could be composed of Jimmy Carr, Alan Carr, Harry Hill and Ricky Gervais *shudder*

I may not like some of those names mentioned but all of them are better than Andy Parsons.

Andy Parsons I can at least leave as completely lacking in humour - he doesn't produce the visceral shiver of horror those others do

Harry Hills stage show in the 90s was hilarious.Most of his TV Burp isn't.

All of the above are terrible but Alan Carr is the most horrific thing ever to be linked to humor, in fact he should be shot at point blank range with his own freeze dried bobbar.

The thing about the others you mention they have been on the circuit much longer than he has and created some successful shows. Don't really have to like them but they have much more going for them than Parsons.
Parsons wrote on Spitting Image and it is clear that Hugh Dennis must of helped get him them gig on Mock The Week. I still don't know how he is still on the show he even screws the delivery up of half the stuff he comes out with.

Sorry, but i have to disagree, ive watched it this afternoon, and thought it was just as good as it usually is, Micky flanaghan and the tall guy, forgot his name, i think they are funny, anyway, we all have different sense of humours i suppose, because i thought Frankie boyle was just vile, glad he isnt on it anymore.

I don't watch it because Russell Howard is an idiot. HE THINKS SHOUTING RANDOMLY IS REALLY FUNNY. HE HAS TO SCREAM BECAUSE HIS JOKES ARE POOR BUT HE WANTS TO BE NOTICED.
Errrm, yeah. Although he's gone, he'll be on Dave forever. Frankie Boyle, obviously the funniest guy on there. I just think they need a reshuffle of the panel because the format is good. Chuck a couple of QI guests in, David Mitchel, a few 8 out of 10 cats people. Jimmy Carr would be good in it.
The best of the panel is Hugh Dennis probably. Only the legend that is Sean Lock would make me watch it again, shame he's on 8 out of 10 cats which is not as good a format.

Im glad a new series has started, it was just as funny as usual. Looking forward though, maybe a reshuffle could help the show from becoming 'stale'

I watch it and feel cheated really as I have heard most of the jokes from most of the regular stand ups already. Heard all of Micky Flanagans material 2 years ago on Comedy Central. At least Boyle while not always funny brought some of edge to the show even if he over did the Kerry Katona stuff.

That was pretty good.
A League Of Their Own is similar but not as a good.
