I love the premise and format of Abolish Everything, but the show is painfully unfunny (aussie.zone)

I wanted to like it. I expected to like it. One or two of the guests have been pretty funny, but most of them have not, and the Establishment have been especially unfunny, particularly Rachel Coster, who is just straight-up obnoxious.

There's a lot of loud shouting. A lot of nonsensical off-topic comments. Way too many references that seem hyper-specific to America or even New York City. The latter of those might play well in the room of the NY standup scene, but it was a terrible idea for a show being designed to be broadcast around the world on Nebula.

idk maybe it's an American vs non-American humour thing?

Also, just a minor nitpick, but in the intro, the host throws his coat back, as though onto a coat rack, except we can see there's no coat rack. Then in the next shot, he's walking away from where that was and we can see the floor where it should have landed. But there's no coat. It's a minor continuity error, but mainly it would have a been more amusing little bit of meta humour if you did see the coat.
