Unfunnies

I really wanted to like the local comedy news-spoof Wassup, Wassup on Studio 23. It stars "Mr. Suave" Vhong Navarro and has a cool format that hasn't been seen since the old, old Sic o' Clock News show long ago.
But, after several viewings of the show, I have to say that it just isn't funny. The cast is energetic, what with all their gimmicky dances and gestures, off-the-wall caricature characters and deadpan deliveries, but they just can't seem to get even a chuckle from me. Furthermore, seeing interviews of what seem to be actual news footage being used for gags doesn't entertain me at all.
Perhaps it's simply because the show's an everyday program and the writing pool is just hard put to come up with good material. Quantity instead of quality may be the reason.

It's a sad thing to say but the actual news is a lot wackier and funnier. Oh well.
