Very repetitive.


Right let it be known that I have watched every episode of FNP (I think..) and feel that there should be more sketches and total revamp of the setup. It gets old after a while and eventually I just put it on to catch the few funny parts that appear, essentially becoming just another background soundtrack. And the times when they can only get a guest who has been on before just shows how crappy it must seem to a lot of people. Anyone else feel the same ?

I feel pretty much the same way. I used to look forward to watching the show, and laughed out loud quite a lot throughout, but now it's lucky if I raise a smile a couple of times in an episode. I think one of the reasons I don't like it so much is that, as you say, it's repetitive, but also that it feels over-rehearsed. I know they kind of have to have a rehearsal as there's a lot of moving around etc, but the jokes that they try to make out are spontaneous just seem old and not very natural. Also, I'm not sure if I'm right here so feel free to correct me, but I don't think Justin actually has much input into the writing of the show. I don't remember seeing him in the 'written by' credits at the end and I don't think it's fair to have him basically acting out someone else's material and tricking a lot of people into thinking it's his own.

I completely agree ^^^^ Also, has anyone else noticed that in the game at the end, the audience member always wins? The questions sometimes seem quite hard but they always know the answer without much struggle, which is a bit suspicious..

Has anyone else thought that the answer the audience member gives has been wrong in the past but the guest just says it's correct anyway. I can't give an example but I remember thinking that for a few of the gamble questions.

Yeah, I've thought that either both of the options were correct or that they've just said that they're right even when they weren't.
