I don't think I'd like that show.
It's like a news.com.au poll on TV, with commentary from people I don't like to hear speaking.
I'd rather hear email speak her mind.
Look fuckin' shit.
Looks. Fuckin' shit post.
People disagree about things. Amazing.
Can Of Jizz
Ha! Correct.
I give it 6 weeks.
The company I work for is doing the research for this. It provides a bit of light entertainment whenever we're bored. Will be exciting to see it put into a tv show.
It was fairly disapointing. I would have liked to see some questions with more substance to them. Like 'do you think there should be a carbon tax?' rather than 'is it wrong to say all black men have big dicks?'
I was kinda curious to see what this would be like. I could only make it through about 2 minutes before I had to turn it off.
Dicko? Aker? That annoying woman who's sometimes on spicks and specks? Do they even want people to watch this?
disappointing? What were you expecting with a show hosted by Dicko featuring Jason Akermanis? It's just another fecal deposit on the turgid slag heap that is Australian comedy television.
yes woeful !!!!!... i give it 3 weeks
Needs more Eddie, Mick and Fitzy.
Jason Akermanis's head scares me.
how long will this rubbish last?
i want to revise my '6 weeks' call, but channel ten don't seem to have the ruthlessness that 9 do, so they might let this dodgy excuse for entertainment fester a little longer.
I managed to grab the remote and switch over to An Idiot Abroad before I was subjected to this abomination of a show.
I know, it's my own fault. I set my sights too high. I was hoping for something Geoffrey Robertson-esque and I got Aker instead.
Denton has turned into an A-grade shit monger

Yes.
After reading that article, I would have loved to see that Don Burke quote.
Talk about manufactured outrage. Invite a bunch of celebrity half-wits into a studio, get them to talk about controversial things. And they say things that are offensive! Wow! Fucking hell. Has Denton given up on intelligent TV altogether?
i heard don bourke say ''nigger'' on that show too.
Tonight:
I'm torn between tuning in for a cringe or fleeing the country to avoid it.
Honestly, who gives a shit what he thinks about anything?
Been bumped to 9:50pm tonight
....cos the renovators isn't rating very well.
Channel 10 sucks donkeys balls. I always feel dirty if I catch a minute of the show preceding or following masterchef, and even masterchef is bollocks.
james mathison (dubious credentials as ex oz-idol host) on tonight's ep - I like him and his eyebrows
Caught a bit of this shit last night. Tried to watch it but was appalled. The topic was ''Does telling a racist joke make you a racist?''. The guests could only answer Yes or No... to which they all replied ''No'' (including Bob Katter). Followed by loads of comments about being un-Australian if you don't tell racist jokes whether they are targeted at Kiwis, Irish, Rangas, Aboriginals etc.
My point is, being racist can't be categorised into Yes or No. You can't lump light hearted kiwi and Irish jokes into the same category as mean-spirited insults about someones race & skin colour. What they failed to mentioned on this show was the history behind the these stereotypes (ie. slavery, loss of dignity) that your average white Australian has no concept of. Pure arrogance and appalling TV!
Is this show still on?
i think it's being repeated on one. i wouldn't go out of your way to find out though..
Will be back next year, without Dicko as host: http://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/tv-and-radio/dicko-sacks-himself-as-can-of-worms-host-20111220-1p3d2.html
what are the chances charlie pickering takes over?
or maybe will anderson
or rove, it has to be one of those three
peter heliar perhaps?
simon deering? maybe he could throw in a few viewers' puzzles for old times sake..
Can of Worms rates just 351,000 for Ten
The return of the network’s panel show Can Of Worms managed just 351,000 capital city viewers to run 29th for Monday - beaten by Ten’s afternoon soap The Bold And The Beautiful with 416,000, according to preliminary OzTAM ratings.
That was despite the publicity host Chrissie Swan received after her revelations in the last few days she smoked while pregnant . The ratings were similar to those achieved by the network’s dance contest Everybody Dance Now, which was axed last year.
Now can the ex-big brother salad dodger just fuck off?
hahaha
