Oh come on! I mean, surely?!

Clearly, this is a bunch of people who know each other from being on the stand up circuit of some small town. They, clearly, couldn't say no to any comic on the circuit who got wind of the project and asked if they could be in it. The comedy is in watching them try not to corpse when they think about the punchline before the end of the joke. Make sure you've watched something good already, and that you are drunk, suddenly, and it becomes a 3.5, which I am rounding up to a 4, out of inebriated generosity.

Oh, such an appropriate title

You know, even back in 2011, amateur and independent film makers were able to make some fairly sophisticated movies on minimal budget with cheap cameras and share-ware editing. So, what's this movie's excuse? I was involved with fan films and community-access TV shows back in the 1990s that were way better filmed, acted, and directed than this.

On top of that... Yeah, as a teen, I read tons of bad joke books, including 6 volumes of "Truly Tasteless Jokes." Just about any of them were better and funnier than these.

I'll cut a lot of slack for an independent project, but how the smegging bloody hell did this end up being promoted on Amazon? Did someone's idiot cousin need a SAG card?

This is the worst thing I've ever seen on any streaming service

I was browsing Amazon Prime and the illustration caught my attention, so I checked it out. It's so bad it's insulting. I cancelled my subscription as a result of watching 5 minutos of this.

Missed opportunity

This might have worked as a concept, IF

The jokes were funny

The actors were not wooden amateurs

If there was some creative theme to hold it together.

None of those things apply to the movie. There is a smattering of nudity, but nothing actually erotic or exciting. Take a pass.

Title sequence says it all

Why did the chicken cross the road? We don't know, but during the opening titles we get to see someone dressed as a chicken cross the road multiple times. Sometimes they fall over for no apparent reason, though unfortunately never in the path of an oncoming car which may have cut short this travesty of a film.

The script was written by some chump that found an old 1970's joke book down the back of a sofa in a seedy motel. The chump then handed the script to a scientist whom, as an experiment, programmed it into their fancy AI. The AI, having no concept of humour, then built a bunch of emotionless robots to serve as the cast and director. I can't think of any other explanation as to why this is so bad.
