Cock'd Gunns

This show was a good idea and I don't mind the actors in it but the writing just is not there and some of the jokes were just really painfully unfunny. Shame cuz the idea was good.

This is a total Trailer Park Boys rip-off without all the pesky comedy. I didn't check the ages of any of the actors but they are way too old for this idea to be funny. When a no talent band is losing their hair it's just sad. The girl friend is a total copy of the girl from TPB but even fatter and uglier. I laughed less then once per episode. I can't believe this was on television.

Cock'd Gunns is not a bad premise for a television show, especially when your goal is to make a cheap Canadian television show. Canadian TV comedy is pretty awful for the most part, the comedy channel has a lot of really horrible shows but Showcase seems to have a good feeling for what is funny. They made Trailer Park Boys (I understand if you don't like it but you can't argue that it is one of the biggest cult/smash comedy hits in recent years on Canadian comedy television) and other decent shows like The Corporation and Billable Hours. So when Cock'd Gunns was on this channel from public access Rogers TV I thought it would be worth a watch, it is mockumentary/comedy documentary style very much inspired by movies like Spinal Tap, and apparently a lot of it is supposed to be improvised. You can tell because the show is so disappointing and unfunny. I had high hopes and gave the series multiple viewings but the jokes and characters were all predictable and paper thin, I disliked most characters especially the lead guy who just seems desperate to deliver his jokes/make people laugh. It's really a terrible show with no funny jokes and the production values are not surprisingly very low considering it is a fake "documentary" series.

This show wasn't so bad it was like a fake documentary (or mocumentary) about this band who think they're the bomb and the people around them. It wasn't great but wasn't bad either.

This show is hilarious. It only had one season but it was an excellent one. I always come back to this one around the holidays bc the finale ends with a Christmas episode. I've seen every episode multiple times and they still make me laugh out loud.
