Average: 7.95
Several sketches were highlights - the serious political advert about Paw Patrol was one of my favourites, and the Weekend Update quick-fire joke segments were especially good this week. The Workplace Harassment Seminar also was quite well laid out. The monologue was also very good - the videos were especially fun to watch.
However, there were a few middling sketches, like Aidy's Dream & Fiction Workshop that were focused around just one drawn-out joke rather than consistently keeping up the comedy.
The cold open could have done with more tightly packing in jokes, rather than having an eight minute segment, but it had good jokes in there. The only bad sketch I would say is the Meatball sketch, which relied upon one joke but the joke was that it was just "surreal" - not much of an actual joke there. I would have preferred the cut for time sketch to make it to the air.
