Punched Up

I almost forgot about this show and I really wish I had completely forgotten about it because Punched Up was horrible! I hope that they destroyed/erased/burned/buried the tapes of this show because it was so awful I can't even believe it. Who at the comedy channel puts these shows on TV? Whoever is making these important decisions needs to have their head examined and should have been fired a long time ago, unless they have been firing people in which case look at your hiring process because you keep hiring people who don't know how to pick a good TV show and obviously do not have a single idea of what is funny. I gave up on this channel a long time ago but still see pieces of shows when I flip by and they are all terrible except for the reruns which they can't really take credit for. Punched Up had people pretending to do a "reality" show and helping out "real" people with their problems, but the main problem was that the show was not at all funny.

Never before have I seen such an annoying bunch of clods in a TV show before as are on this show Punched Up but I guess I should not be surprised considering the other TV shows that have been produced by this 'how-can-they-still-be-this-incompetent?' network, like Popcultured and Girls Will Be Girls.

Basically the cast of over-acting 'look how funny and loud I am' unknown Toronto comedians scream and yell over each other for half an hour while they pretend to help improve someone's life with their fantastic advice and most of all their so-unfunny-it-hurts comedy.

The stories and 'real live guests' are all so scripted and fake that it is hard to believe all of it is so completely unfunny, when you are making it all up and control everything how can none of it be funny? The only good thing on this show is the animation which is average but at least not terrible like the rest of the show.

Please stop making TV shows because you are terrible.

I don't know you from a hole in the ground but I see on IMDb that you also make that show the Wilkersons and it is also terrible.

I don't have anything else to say other than you should be shamed of your self for taking money to make such terrible TV shows but I can't blame you really when someone is going to just give you money to not do any real work then why not take it? It's free money so I can't blame you.

It says I have to write ten lines so okay.

Punched Up is terrible.

Ten lines?

It's not a reality show and it's not scripted sitcom comedy, it is kind of made up on the spot but with real people and scripted parts but whatever it is supposed to be it's not the one thing it should be, it's not funny.

the comedy network has had a lot of failures recently (popculture, keys to the vip, girls will be girls, jeff ltd, etc.) but i had hopes for this show.

the big problems are the only known names in the show are the guests and they aren't funny, they are football players or newscasters etc. the cast all over act to the point where it makes me angry, why is the fat guy acting sooo hard to come off as mentally challenged or slow? why is the main girl character so bitchy? mainly who are these people and why should i be interested in watching them drive somewhere in a van and try to make somebody better at comedy? if you're going to have people giving comedy advice shouldn't they be real comedy experts and not a bunch of no name Toronto pardon the harsh term but nobodies? can't you get jeremy hotz or mike wilmot or anybody with real comedy chops to do a show? if not that just goes to show how low comedy network has let itself go.

the jokes are lame the written parts are poorly written and the improv parts remind me of college kids hamming it up for the camera to get attention, because they know they're funny because their friends told them so.

this show is so lame, not the worst in comedy network history but right up there, or right down there, whatever.

1 out of 10 and i wish i could give other comedy network shows less than 1 but the IMDb.com system won't let me give zero.

I like one of the other reviews here. I read them all and most are very negative and I do get where they are coming from, but the one I agree with most points out exactly what I think about this show, that it was not funny or very good but it also certainly is not nearly the "worst show ever made". The 10/10 reviews I find totally out there, this show was not terrible but also was not good, so to give it a 10 makes your review suspect to me as well.

Like that other reviewer said as well, this show did try doing something different and probably had a budget of about nine bucks so they deserve some credit for that. I think it would have been better if it had been more "real" and less obviously scripted, and if they scripted it anyway why did they not have funnier stuff for these people to do and say?

The show was not very good but at least they tried and deserve points for effort. One last thing the other reviewer pointed out that I laughed at but also agree with totally, even though this show had serious problems, was cheap and was not funny, it still was better than most other shows on Comedy Network haha!
