Meet the Family

This show has a lot of really funny moments that made me laugh out loud but others do not find this sense of funny to be funny at all. There are some parts where it is kind of boring and by that I mean there are parts where they are talking and then it drags on with nothing really happening and nobody doing anything other than talk.

But when it gets to the funny parts they can be very funny. One of the episodes had the boy friend put on the tightest little pair of shorts ever and then get in the hot tub with dad like within a minute of getting into the house. Right away after that dad is rubbing his back and chest and then gets him to do exercises where they shake their butts in front of the camera. Why on earth any guy would put on tiny little girl size shorts and then let dad rub there chest and do butt exercises I do not know :) If you like watching guys have pranks done on them you will love this show I have seen every episode and I love pranks and the guys get it very good. If it makes you squirm to watch guys freak out and get pranked then you won't like this show.

For example the one I already talked about at the end of the show the guy turns around and sees an old lady dead body back from drowning in the ocean and he totally freaks. Some people think that is funny but some people don't it just depends which kind of people you are for if you will like this show or not!

Watched this show last night and it was so funny. A boy goes to his date's house to meet her parents but it is a prank show where there are hidden cameras and instead of parents there are actors playing her parents and also a brother and a sister and all of them are designed to freak the guy out. They make him do things like help destroy their office or prove he doesn't have a tattoo under his jockeys. Not sure what else to say. Couldn't hear the guy sometimes but he kind of mumbled and talked low. They made him sing jingle bells because the mother was drunk and wanted to pretend it was Christmas, stuff like that. We both laughed a lot! Poor guy!

I can't help but feel for these guys on this show. They come to this house to meet their girlfriend's family for the first time and from the moment they arrive they end up getting tortured going from one situation and one crazy family member to the next. It is very cruel because these guys obviously are on their best behaviour and willing to put up with pretty much anything to get on the good side of their girl's family. I admit I laugh and a lot of it is funny but it is also sometimes kind of cruel for instance in at least one show they convince the guy that grandma died while he was alone in the room watching her and make him feel guilty about it. Best thing on City TV for the time being but sad to say that isn't saying much.

I did not know what this show was about when we first started watching it, but I decided to give it a try. My 37 yr. Old son was in the room with me when I started to watch it and within just 2 minutes of the show opening it had us both laughing at it. I do not know how the actors in this show can keep a straight face. They are very good. I would never be able to pull this off, I have never seen any of them before, but they are awesome. It is somewhat a reality show, but there are actors in the show. I hope it makes it to season 3, because it sure does deserve a season 3. None of it is mean but the participants do have to have a good sense.

I had no idea what this show was when we watched it. At first we thought it was the movie Meet the Feebles for some reason it was all screwed up but obviously when it started up it was not Meet the Feebles. It was a reality show but not really a reality show. The pranks they play on the guy make him look pretty stupid but it also seems very mean because he really thinks he is meeting his wife or girlfriend's family but they are actually actors and the wife or girlfriend set him up for these pranks, where the actors playing her family are mean to him or just crazy. We couldn't help but laugh at the poor guy and in the end they gave him a free trip and he was OK with it but at the time he seemed so upset that the family didn't like him. I give it a 6 out of 10 and would go higher except it seems a bit mean and mostly it just looks cheap with cheap Canadian production values. But it is funnier than Canadian shows that look more expensive. Worth watching I assume maybe half the people will think it's funny like me and half the people will hate it for being cheap or mean.
