Taskmaster

Stepping from the UK version to the Australian version you're immediately reminded of why do much Australian TV us unwatchable. Not because of the content, the themes or the show's presenters or contestants. No. It's the ridiculous tonedeaf production, and Taskmaster immediately fails straight out of the gate with the mind-boggling misuse of canned laughter. It's not just canned laughter. It's canned laughter with whoops and applause after EVERY single sentence uttered. Honestly, are these shows made by infants? The constant, clunky fade-in fade-out laughter track is completely out of step with any grown-up edge this show is famous for. Seriously, if it's not shows being edited to death, it's the dumb use of over the top sound. Another unwatchable production. Please, Australia, grow up.
