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.

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.

I was spurred on to check this out after reading the message boards which F.Y.I. contain a lot more funny jokes than the show Hotbox has in it's first 7 episodes. Where did the people responsible for this piece of assbutter show come from? The star/producer/creator/loud fatso is from Punched Up. Three actors and two writers from Popcultured. One producer from Red Green and Jeff ltd. One producer from Stompin Tom, a country concert that at least had to be more funny than Hotbox. What real TV network would give new shows to the same people who already made so many bad ones? Does anyone like any of these shows other than the 60 year old alcoholic fishermen who like Red Green for some unexplainable reason? I'm surprised that all the Girls Will Be Girls girls haven't turned up in this show yet or maybe even they realize to stay away from this abortion.

This show is not funny and I was very disappointed.

There is not much more for me to say about it than that it is just not a funny show. It tries to be funny and has a lot of short segments but I have not found any of them to be funny and when there are that many segments stuck into a show and I don't like even one of them it is definitely a bad sign.

While I was watching this show I kept wondering when something funny would happen but it was just bad acting and trying to make the scenes funny just by having the scenes not make any sense.

It is the kind of show that I watch and know it is what I could have made when I was in the video yearbook club in high school, if somebody gave my friends and I a video camera and said to make a funny TV show we would do stupid stuff like that and I bet we would think it was hilarious but anybody else who watched it would say that it sucks.

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.
