I read the reviews here when deciding whether or not to give this a try, and I came to the conclusion that I had to see for myself what was going on. I'm glad I did.Maybe it's because I went in thinking that it might be horrible that I was so relieved it was the opposite. More or less pretty funny throughout, with moments of genius and rarely, maybe a few jokes per episode that would drag on 20 seconds too long. There are also stupid jokes, which I would normally despise, but I tend to find them funny in this. I guess they're doing them better. I have no idea what the negative reviews are talking about. So if you're worried about perspective, I'm male, I'm straight, and I have fairly high standards for comedy and I'm looking forward to watching the other half of the episodes!I can only reason two theories about the wildly negative reviews; 1) They are planted to make you want to check for yourself and go in with low expectations, or 2) Some people actually believe what they see on TV is real - a thought which is absolutely terrifying... Oh I also had to rewind fairly often so I could read the screen captions, because usually when I do it's worth it.

With regards to Matt Tighe, I don't work for the show and am not even Australian, but I find the absurdist humor of this show to be quite entertaining. This parody of an Aussie morning show that's on at an absurdly early hour because it is being broadcast to the US, is funny BECAUSE the shows hosts clearly don't want to be there and know that no one is watching. They bring all their off screen personal baggage to work with them and try hashing it out while dealing with guest of whom they could care less. Thanks to the internet for allowing me to find this show and enjoy it from outside of Australia.

I've seen numerous comments likening this show to an unrehearsed high school revue, but it's much, much worse. The constant references to things stuck in, or being pushed out of their vaginas neither shock nor amuse. Nothing funny to say? Insert shrill vagina reference. What could have been a mildly amusing 5 minute skit on any other show has been stretched into a brain grating series. Don't bother waiting for a punchline...it just grates on becoming more embarrassing as the funny bit just doesn't come. I can't recall another program that has made me feel as physically agitated as this did. Female comedians would be cringing in their boots as this garbage is promoted as the premier comedic output of their gender. Quite seriously this is the worst thing I have ever sat through and by an extremely large margin. I am shaking my head in disbelief that anyone thought it was TV-worthy and how it is still running.

Kate McCartney and Kate McLennan clawed their way to national attention largely through the unprecedented word-of-mouth success of their web- based The Katering Show. If this follow-up project is any indication, their ultimate goal in this enterprise was to eventually squander that goodwill through an ill-conceived and unpleasant "satire" of media values. Even accounting for difficulty in adapting to a half-hour format, the hit-and-miss results of Get Krack!n might be considered charming if the duo hadn't decided to adopt an incessantly preaching tone throughout. In the place of disarming humour, each episode is dominated sour judgments of predictable PC targets, often delivered sneeringly directly to camera. The overall effect is nasty and unredeeming.
