Hotbox

The average viewer can tell just by watching some of the ads that this show just isn't anything more than random commercials with corny ideas. Keyword is RANDOM. It's a shame really, because I rather liked that "Owl and The Man" shorts by this show's director, the only decent actor.

From RANDOM ideas like musical pants, to basketball cops, anyone watching ads for this commercial would be well advised to take this show at face value and expect the same poorly written sketches all the way through. It's just that sort of Family channel comedy that combines two different things to make something lame.

Hot Box is a really bad show, I have watched many episodes with my friend who works at CTV (CTV owns the Comedy network) and every one of them has failed to make me laugh even one time. I am a fan of Sean Cullen and there have been his parts and a few other short sketches that are kind of interesting or at least not bad but most of the stuff in this show is just terrible, not just not funny but unoriginal and so bad it makes we want to turn the channel and never turn it back. A lot of the show's style comes from Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job which is an awesome show but Hot Box can do that style but doesn't deliver anything funny like Tim and Eric do. It is basically a bunch of quick, short clips with most of them very weird but not funny weird, just stupid. I guess it is a show for potheads but you know someone who is a pothead will laugh at anything that doesn't make it good. The production value is good, there is a lot poorly produced but they obviously did that on purpose the way Tim and Eric would do a cheesy infomercial like from the 1980s they do that style of stuff, but also a lot of animation scenes etc that are extremely well produced. Still this show is just awful I haven't seen a less funny show in quite a long time.

Hotbox is a terrible show. I guess it is cancelled but it was so damn bad I still want to post here and say please if you are thinking about returning to do another year of this show don't, it is an awful show and nobody likes you. How can a show on the comedy network be so completely not funny, they try so hard but there are no funny moments I have ever seen on this show. I hate this show and I hope it is never on TV again. I give it 2 out of 10 instead of 1 because there are shows on the comedy network that are even worse like popcultured, punched up, and girls being girls. What the farking cowpoop is wrong with the comedy network.

Im gonna be honest Im a MAJOR pot head and I haven't laughed once through the whole series. This is even worse then Tim and Eric who the hell wrote this a monkey? The show doesn't make ANY sense at all and I can't believe they let this air. Comedy Network needs to replace whoever in charge because I cant stand there schedule Just For Laughs reruns come on like 10 times a day and most of that's just 40 year old men whine about being married then there's 22 Minutes not the least bit funny ant there voices annoy me are they supposed to be pirates or something? And don't get me started about Red Green once again its made for 60 year old alcoholic fishermen and then there's Air Farce which is obviously a Mad TV rip off (the taxi guy is based on the depressed Persian tow truck man) and now there putting kids in the hall back on? They really need to appeal to younger generations if they want to be any good and hotbox isn't the way to go I hate to say it but Canadian comedy just isn't that good the only Canadian shows they have that are funny is Jon Dore and Hiccups other then that here's some shows they need: Family Guy, More Tosh.0, More South Park, Chappelle Show, More Mad TV... Umm thats about it sorry for going off point but I just needed to give my opinion on the Comedy Network.

Hotbox is a completely unfunny show but amazingly it is still far from the worst show that has been made by the Comedy Network, I have to admit that award still goes to Popcultured or Girls Will Be Girls.

Of course being better than Popcultured or Girls Will Be Girls is not saying much, I think having *bum* cancer is better than Popcultured or Girls Will Be Girls. Actually that's ironic since I think having *bum* cancer is about equally as funny and entertaining as watching Hotbox.

It's a terrible show filled with no sketches and no jokes, just unfinished ideas for jokes. All of them involve the same fat guy acting the same stupid pot head character. The commercials probably have the best parts from the show and that says all you need to know because the commercials are *curse word deleted because someone who works for this show complained to get my original post deleted* awful. A guy has a trunk full of creams and you get the uncreative high school level "rub it on your *b-word for testicles that they said on the show but I apparently can't say it here or they will complain*" joke. The fat guy is a cop but hey wouldn't it be hilarious if he was a basketball cop? No- no it wouldn't.

I'm sure this fat guy and his balding old friends laughed their *let's say bums to be safe* off at their own non jokes ("hey look I'm fat and I'm wearing a tight basketball jersey! Now hey look at my fake mustache it's funny! I have a wig now!") Unfortunately those 14 people only make up half of the Comedy Network's audience. The other half will have to continue being disappointed and angry by how the Comedy Network wastes our tax dollars to produce pure garbage. I guarantee that fat guy is the son of the network's owner or has pictures of *let's say he has pictures of a nature that he can use to blackmail the president of the Comedy Network*.

Then again the Comedy Network has proved again and again they just don't care so who knows if they even watch this *poopoo* before they put it on TV? They probably only care that it is made in Canada and costs about $5 an episode.
