This show has been on for years. I’ve never known a single person to watch it.

I watched it a few years ago before I realised Adam Hills was a massive insufferable prick.

NuffSaidSam · 21/03/2025 22:27

Shows that don't get watched, don't get made so they're obviously getting viewers.

I don't know if anyone I know watches The Last Leg, I can't say it's ever come up in conversation. Kudos to you though for asking everyone you know! That's dedication!

I don't watch it so you can add me to the negative pile.

This.

I watch it occasionally but find it a bit too male-centred and laddish for me, I’d rather they had a more equal mix of male vs female presenters but often the panel is almost entirely male.

Used to quite like it but the last time I watched it was mainly the three presenters laughing at their own jokes and the guests got barely a word in.

It’s the very first thing I ask people.

Yep.

PrettayGood · 21/03/2025 22:46

If we’re still awake, yes we watch.

Why is Adam Hills a prick? I like him. 🤷‍♀️

Exactly this. I watched it for the first time in ages recently and they were laughing at their jokes but there wasn't a sound from the audience, it was embarrassing.

Aye

TheAlertFinch · 21/03/2025 22:48

i like Adam Hill. Why is he a prick?

RaininSummer · 21/03/2025 22:49

We stopped watching as they are annoying pillocks.

Same. See also, Josh Widdicombe.

Whateverfloatsyourgoat · 21/03/2025 22:54

Every single time I catch it and try a little bit of it, I wonder this. Is so unfunny and painful. I don’t get it

Fooksticks · 21/03/2025 22:56

Stopped watching it when Adam came out in support of men in women's sports.

BeholdOurButterStinketh · 21/03/2025 22:56

I like the three chaps independently of the programme, but gave up watching it two or three years ago.

It's so painfully 'woke' now - if I dare use such a word. Comedy shows are meant to bravely question, prod and parody the current narrative - from all sides of the political spectrum and all perspectives - but they don't bother to do that at all, now; well Josh and Alex occasionally do, but Adam never does.

Every 'joke' seems to be based on a smugness that anybody who doesn't have a very left-wing, PC worldview simply must be wrong ad hominem - without even focusing on any specifics of what they've said or done that's actually worthy of criticism. It's just really lazy.

Whateverfloatsyourgoat · 21/03/2025 22:56

Josh Widdicombe is particularly unfunny. What else does he do apart from this? It feels very scripted and stilted. I guess as it’s based on disability they feel unable to cancel it and the three hosts are £££ in for life. No need to be funny

TheAlertFinch · 21/03/2025 23:05

I love it because it's woke and left wing. I might have guessed that's why MN don't like it.

ChunkyMunck · 21/03/2025 23:06

TheUsualChaos · 21/03/2025 22:50

Same. See also, Josh Widdicombe.

Josh widdicome is insufferable on his podcast with rob beckett.

He lives a very privileged life yet all he does is whinge and moan like a little botch. I’ve no idea how he gets so much work.

Josh has a top rated podcast with Rob Beckett, co-owns a podcast company, tours nationally with his comedy show & features in a tv quiz show on Sky with Rob Beckett. He is fine on his own and on the podcast but annoying on this.

Same. He's just so awfully pleased with himself and self righteous.
