Spun Out (2014)
It's Official-- R.I.P. Dave Foley's Career
This show is so atrociously bad and completely empty of even the thought of humour let alone the presence of any attempt to make any real comedy- - actually I can't even think of words to describe how bad this show is.
I mention Dave Foley in the summary title line but maybe that is not very fair to him since he is the only person in this steaming dog's breakfast of a show who has any ability whatsoever to be funny at all. Believe it or not he is not even bad in this show.
The problem with this show is that he has nothing and I do mean nothing as in absolutely zero to work with. He is given horrible jokes and expected to spin fecal matter into gold. I am guessing the script was written by a 70 year old man who used to really be an important writer back on the best sitcoms of the seventies and eighties like Webster, because the story and one dimensional stereotypical stock characters and the coma inducing jokes are so pathetic and just feel as though they are coming from some horrible place that time and comedy both forgot.
The rest of the cast seem to come from the reject pile of a local used car lot commercial. There's a pretty girl who is a fish out of water, another pretty girl who is supposed to be one of the guys and who has some kind of romantic entanglement with the male star, the male star who is about as interesting as a bowl of water and who couldn't deliver a line or a joke to save not just his own life but the entire planet, the office dolt who says the stupidest things (because I guess for some reason that is supposed to automatically make him funny instead of so annoying that he enraged us every time he opened his damn stupid mouth?), and the male star's office wonder boy gay friend who is incredibly drab and is maybe the worst actor of the bunch which is really saying something. Then there is for some reason the bald office yes man who is a cross between Dwight from The Office (attitude) and the bald dean from Community (seriously this guy looks and acts exactly and I do mean exactly like the guy from Community which I guess is supposed to make him and this show funnier but actually all it does is completely ruin Community for me). The entire cast is so bad I think CTV would be doing themselves a favour if they put them all in a boat along with all the tapes and scripts of this show, rowed it out to the middle of the nearest lake then started drilling holes until the sweet freezing water swallowed them all possibly saving Canadian television forever. Of course I am exaggerating but my point is this show truly is one of the absolute worst pieces of television I have ever had the displeasure of watching. In my entire life. It. Really. Is. That. Awful.
I had super low (almost zero) expectations for this show and still somehow you managed to blow those negative expectations out of the water by actually being worse than zero. I would have been entertained more sitting and staring at a blank television screen for half an hour. No I'm not saying that to be funny or mean I am saying that because it is literally true, I could have at least used my imagination or thought about something productive rather than be confused and get angry watching a cast of misfits try desperately to deliver lines that maybe could not have even been funny in the first place.
Dave Foley if you ever read this please run-- don't walk but run away from this ape turd of a show as fast and as far as you possibly can. Just don't stop running until you can no longer hear the pathetic and desperate laugh track begging you to laugh along with it in the hope of convincing you that something in this show is actually funny, because nothing is except for you, and you hopefully will come to your senses and run away run away run away!
Why oh why oh why can't I give this show a zero? The minimum I can give it apparently is one out of ten and that seems way too good for this show.
Please someone I beg you to burn these tapes and let's all agree never to even mention this show ever again because it is just too painful to even think about this bear vomit of a dung fest.
The Jane Show (2004)
Bad
This was a very bad show, it is very disappointing because all of the actors on it seem like they are probably nice people in real life but the show was just really bad.
I think the problem was more the bad writing with terrible situations, jokes, dialogue, none of it was believable and everything was so predictable that of course none of it was funny.
The actors weren't bad but when the show was so awful there obviously is no way it can be saved just by good acting anyway. I thought the show just looked and seemed cheap, and like they did not actually try to make a good show.
Bad show.
The Adventures of Bob & Doug McKenzie: Strange Brew (1983)
Cult Classic!
In the dictionary under "cult classic" there should definitely be a picture of the poster for this movie! The Adventures of Bob and Doug McKenzie aka "Strange Brew" is still hilarious to this day, Max Von Sydow is fantastic as the lunatic brew master who wants to add mind control drugs to his beer in order to take over the entire world. Bob and Doug are of course hilarious as their hoser characters in every scene they are in, and all of the acting and jokes are fantastic.
I love this movie and could watch it a hundred times, I recommend it if you are looking for a good laugh (but obviously not too much thinking, eh!)
Jeff Ltd. (2005)
Garbage!
This show was garbage, I still remember when I finally realized that it was actually cancelled that I was so happy I actually did a little dance in my living room.
Jeff Limited was such a pathetic show, I just wrote a review for Comedy Inc which is probably even worse, and there are a lot of terrible Canadian comedy television shows, but Jeff Limited still stands out as one of the worst.
How do so many awful shows get made here? Jeff Ltd was on at the same time as another show called The Jane Show that was also terrible and I thought those two should just get married, and then Jeff and Jane could both get off my TV forever.
I hated this show!
Comedy Inc. (2002)
Terrible
Comedy Inc is without a doubt the single worst sketch comedy television series that has ever been produced and put on the air, I am completely confused as to who actually put money into making this show and how is it possible that at no point when they were writing or taping this show not any of these people realized how awful it was and did anything to fix it, or said hey maybe we should not make or broadcast this show because it is so completely awful? It is amazing to me that something this bad not only was put on TV but that it is still on the air! Looking at the comments not just here but any google search will reveal just how completely hated this show is.....so how is it on TV? The writing is the worst, the cast is usually awful but sometimes OK, the main cast member (Roman whatever who cares) is so pathetic with his impressions it makes me want to scream.....this show is the worst sketch comedy show ever!
Popcultured (2005)
One of the worst shows ever.
Popcultured is easily one of the worst shows ever, at least one of the worst I have ever seen. The show was hosted by a woman who had no idea what she was doing, the interviews were always so painful that you could tell by watching that the people being interviewed had no idea what they were getting into and were completely unimpressed by the interviewer. The questions and answers were always awkward and that was just one segment of the show. The host opened with a monologue that was always terrible with pauses for laughs on the punch lines and the laughs just never came, it was so terrible I actually feel bad for this host. The writing was obviously terrible with no laughs to be had anywhere. The entire cast was terrible at what they were doing and all the segments were always awful. I can not understand how a show this bad in all it's forms could ever be made and put on TV and they didn't even cancel it for months and months. What a horrible show this was, I doubt it can ever be topped for worst show I have ever seen.
The Dirty Dozen (1967)
Not just for girls.
I had heard (and I also admit that I assumed it to be true myself) that this movie was a typical guy movie with explosions, shooting, death etc that girls just didn't like. But I was wrong. This was a great movie that actually had something to say. First off the cast is top notch, when you have actors like Donald Sutherland (one of my all time faves) and Charles Bronson in pretty relatively small parts in the movie you can see how top notch this film is. Possible spoiler here - but I was happy to see that in this old movie for once the black man (Jim Brown) was not killed off even though it looked for sure like he would be in the end. I thought it was terrific with lots of action, not too much gore, and great acting and drama. Telly Savalas I never really liked but he was great as the psycho and Lee Marvin was so tough as nails it was cool.
