SULS Law Revue Review

Jump to Comments

This year’s law revue was a hit-and-miss affair. As Enok has poin­ted out The Motel divx

Private Parts movie

, there was poten­tial for great humour but many of the skits fell flat because the fun­ni­est thing about them was the premise. They could have built jokes-upon-jokes and clever punch­lines. The polit­ical skits were con­tent to throw cheap shots instead of sat­ir­ise, and Paris Hilton-bashing is get­ting a bit long in the tooth.

All this should serve to demon­strate how hard it is to actu­ally do good com­edy. Par example, Work­ing Dog and The Chaser (CNNNN-era) all seem to be law and medi­cine grads.

Is it worth $17? Yes, but don’t have high expect­a­tions.buy The Haunt­ing of Molly Hartley down­load Dr. Dol­ittle 2 Kill The­ory ipodHon­ey­moon in Vegas movie download

    That’s a real shame. I’m the convenor/director of the Uni­ver­sity of QLD Law Revue and we open in 6 days, and I’m hop­ing that we don’t have any duds.

    The prob­lem with a lot of Revues is that they don’t have the dis­cip­line to work a sketch prop­erly and write solid, clever jokes, and ditch the stuff that’s lame. We’re pretty bru­tal with our stuff — if it’s not punchy and really funny then it goes.

    Check out our stuff on You­Tube (search UQ Law Revue) or our myspace: myspace.com/uqlawrevue.

    I’ve seen a couple of past UQ law revue clips on You­Tube. You guys seem to be much bet­ter than SULS at this kind of thing.

    […] This unfor­tu­nately includes the Arts revue, which was at best at half-capacity last night. The Law revue in con­trast was fully-booked des­pite stark dif­fer­ences in qual­ity between them. I shall […]
