FML: Girls Uninterrupted

While the show requires development, their performances remain memorable.

Girls Uninterrupted have hit the hub with their new sketch comedy hour FML (Fuck My Life). It's the type of sketch comedy that takes a cheap punchline or an unseen angle on an overdone idea and makes a meal out of it. The pair are mostly at an advantage for delivering big on the 'uninterrupted' concept in their title. We get the sense that the hour has been crafted out of whatever impersonation, pun or sheer ridiculousness has made the other girl giggle, and we are laughing out loud with them. This type of chemistry between the performers allows small, simple and silly ideas to become infectiously hilarious scenes.  The consequence, however, is that some interruption is needed in the form of cuts to scenes that don't work and a critical eye to address the show's incoherent premise. Ultimately, the girls' bravado to take on stereotypical comic goldmines like bogans, blokes and the elderly, combined with an unapologetic silliness, keeps us laughing. While the show requires development, their performances remain memorable.
