Hotbox

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.

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.

Hotbox is a terrible show. I guess it is cancelled but it was so damn bad I still want to post here and say please if you are thinking about returning to do another year of this show don't, it is an awful show and nobody likes you. How can a show on the comedy network be so completely not funny, they try so hard but there are no funny moments I have ever seen on this show. I hate this show and I hope it is never on TV again. I give it 2 out of 10 instead of 1 because there are shows on the comedy network that are even worse like popcultured, punched up, and girls being girls. What the farking cowpoop is wrong with the comedy network.

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.

This show is just bad, unfortunately there is no other way to say it. I know what they were going for and it was a good and interesting idea, take what has worked on other new shows like Robot Chicken and Tim and Eric Awesome show and try to do that. Have very quick, short, fast sketches one after another so that if it is bad no big deal because you are moving on to another sketch very soon. The problem is that every single sketch I have seen on this show has just been awful, I mean really awful. They have a french toast hawk who keeps attacking the same two guys in animated scenes when they eat their french toast, viciously attacking them, then a narrator saying "the french toast board says eat more french toast", seriously they have this in every episode and it is not nearly as funny as it sounds to read that description of it. The acting is terrible but the main problem is that the writing is either terrible on non-existent. The show was probably written by potheads for potheads but I don't think anybody likes this show at all, I'm sure there are people who do but I have never met one myself, just people who either haven't heard of this show or saw it but hate it like me. The only sketches I saw that were funny at all were ones that totally come from other shows, for example they have a couple decently funny sketches that are series of still shots but this idea is lifted right from the show Tom Goes To The Mayor or whatever that show was called. Anyone who watches Tim and Eric Awesome Show will recognize a lot of similar ideas here but they are weaker written and not as funny in presentation. This is a really bad show all the way around, frankly I don't see how The Comedy Network is still on the air after all the awful shows they have produced over the years. Other than Puppets Who Kill and Jon Dore's Show they have never had anything worth watching to offer.
