BBC Comic Relief fans ask âWhereâs the comedyâ as theyâre left unimpressed with âunfunnyâ sketches
The charity show returned for its 40th celebration tonight in a bid to raise a historical amount of money
BBC Comic Relief fans were left unimpressed and complaining on their social media accounts about the “unfunny” sketches they watched during the live show.
Celebrating 40 years of comedy the show promised viewers it would feature sketches and live performances in aid of the Comic Relief charity.
Shows which were getting involved this year included Strictly Come Dancing, Gladiators and Beyond Paradise.
A host of presenters were all raring to go, including Davina McCall, Rylan Clark, Alesha Dixon, Jonathan Ross and Alison Hammond.
Two BBC shows - Not Going Out and Beyond Paradise – merged for the first time and starred Sally Bretton, who plays both Lee's wife Lucy in Not Going Out and DI Humphrey Goodman's wife Martha Lloyd in Beyond Paradise.
This year's show also featured a People Just Do Nothing and Gladiators mash-up as Chabuddy G attempts to join the athletic cast of the BBC One show.

Rachel Parris and Russell Kane faced a similar athletic challenge as they attempted to join the Strictly Come Dancing professional lineup as a pair of amateurs.
Fans of The Inbetweeners were also treated to a reunion of stars James Buckley and Joe Thomas as a parody of the Gallagher brothers Liam and Noel and documented their journey to Oasis fame.
However, as many of the presenters and the audience members found the sketches to be entertaining, the same can’t be said for the viewers at home.
Taking to X to express their disappointment, one simply asked: “Do you remember when #comicrelief was funny?”
Many fans began to compare the show to previous ones

Someone else slammed: “Awful, stop promoting comedy no one watches. People do nothing? YEAH, People don't watch!”
“So no comedy on #Comicrelief........As usual #RedNoseDay” another penned before a third said: “Too much swearing and farting. Childish.
“How many times is he going to swear? Doesn't he realise kids are watching this? Just not funny. Embarrassing.”
A fourth noted: “What has happened to comedy? That Gladiator sketch was just sh**e”.
Another unimpressed expressed: “Love #ComicRelief, but looking back at old sketches from the past 40 years proves how much more lighthearted society used to be.”
Someone else stated: “What the hell is this about #comicrelief. Not funny at all” (sic)
