Hotbox

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.

Hotbox is horrible. It is horrible, horrible, horrible. I have not seen one single funny joke on this show and have not even cracked a smile once.

Obviously this show is made for potheads but who wants such a stupid audience anyway? Has the Comedy Network just given up then, and said well maybe we can do okay with the worst audience there is? The sad thing is I don't even think there are potheads out there who would find this show even the slightest bit entertaining. There is nothing funny on this show.

Saying "creams" over and over while a guy rubs cream on himself isn't funny. It seems like it should be funny but so does the idea of Robocop selling cereal. Somehow the people on this show could not get anything funny out of any of their ideas. Probably because they're all potheads? They probably find themselves funny. Good thing because otherwise nobody in the world would be enjoying this show. Shows like Hotbox are why I am ashamed of Canadian TV.

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.

This show is just bad, unfortunately there is no other way to say it. I know what they were going for and it was a good and interesting idea, take what has worked on other new shows like Robot Chicken and Tim and Eric Awesome show and try to do that. Have very quick, short, fast sketches one after another so that if it is bad no big deal because you are moving on to another sketch very soon. The problem is that every single sketch I have seen on this show has just been awful, I mean really awful. They have a french toast hawk who keeps attacking the same two guys in animated scenes when they eat their french toast, viciously attacking them, then a narrator saying "the french toast board says eat more french toast", seriously they have this in every episode and it is not nearly as funny as it sounds to read that description of it. The acting is terrible but the main problem is that the writing is either terrible on non-existent. The show was probably written by potheads for potheads but I don't think anybody likes this show at all, I'm sure there are people who do but I have never met one myself, just people who either haven't heard of this show or saw it but hate it like me. The only sketches I saw that were funny at all were ones that totally come from other shows, for example they have a couple decently funny sketches that are series of still shots but this idea is lifted right from the show Tom Goes To The Mayor or whatever that show was called. Anyone who watches Tim and Eric Awesome Show will recognize a lot of similar ideas here but they are weaker written and not as funny in presentation. This is a really bad show all the way around, frankly I don't see how The Comedy Network is still on the air after all the awful shows they have produced over the years. Other than Puppets Who Kill and Jon Dore's Show they have never had anything worth watching to offer.
