The funny videos section Lucky TV is suddenly back on the air, this time on Today Inside. But is that a good match? No, says TV critic Victor Vlam. “Haven’t laughed once.”
It looks like Lucky TV is definitely returning to television. Sander van de Pavert’s column was the highlight of De Wereld Draait Door for many years and was subsequently also featured in the RTL talk shows Beau and Jinek, but we haven’t heard anything about it since. Until this week: Lucky TV is back, on Today Inside.
‘We’re testing it out’
Wilfred Genee confirms that a collaboration is being considered. Lucky TV can be seen daily this week in VI. The past three days have always involved dubbed fragments of Caroline van der Plas in the celebrity crying show Het Were 2 Fantastische Dagen. In all cases the jokes are about ‘shitting’ and defecating in bed.
It has now become a cliché joke from Lucky TV to portray Caroline as a dirty farmer’s wife, and René van der Gijp can laugh at that. It remained remarkably quiet on the Gijp-free Wednesday yesterday after the Lucky TV video. And then it turns out that no one except René actually likes those videos.
Every day?
Thomas van Groningen wonders what this means. “Is it every day now?” he says Today Inside.
Wilfred then: “Well, it’s a kind of trial week. A bit of a taste of each other. See how that goes.”
Johan Derksen: “Sometimes he is brilliant. Sometimes he is not nice, but I think it is impossible to be a genius every night.”
Victor critical
TV critic Victor Vlam is not enthusiastic. “More LuckyTV in Today Inside? No. Not once did I laugh,” he writes X.
Journalist Rens Muller agrees. “Very lame. As if he put his eight-year-old nephew to work.”
One Corné: “You’re taking the words right out of my mouth. The Caroline poop videos are even becoming irritating.”
Victor: “It’s been pretty much the same joke for three days.”
Laziness
It is incomprehensible that VI is returning to this section, says Victor. “It’s also just laziness. In the DWDD era he had something completely different every day.”
Corné then concludes: “I think Wilfred knows that his program no longer scores well. When I see the reactions, more and more people are switching away. It’s becoming the same trick every evening.”
