Punched Up

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!

I came here to complain but from the look of it almost everyone hates this show. I watched it and swore I would not again but go outvoted and made to watch it again at my friend's place. They ended up apologizing for making me sit through it again. It is so bad watching untalented "comedians" try to be funny when they so obviously are not. It is hard to say how something so totally empty of any laughs is on the comedy network. I am sick of such bad Canadian shows. I'll just watch the U.S. shows now instead. I love Canada but I can't stand watching any more of these atrocious shows. I wouldn't mind a pretend documentary show if it was real at all but this show is so poorly written and performed that it should never have been put on television. What were they even thinking with this one?

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'm adding my name to the list of people who can't believe how bad the shows are on The Comedy Network.

Punched Up is terrible and there have been other shows on the network that are even worse! Girls Will Be Girls, Canadian Comedy Shorts, Popcultured, Mike Bullard, Keys to the VIP, You Bet Your Ass, Kevin Spencer, Butch Patterson - Private Dick, Con, and now Punched Up.

For sure there are a lot more equally bad shows that I'm forgetting right now.

What a history of complete and total failure! I am starting to think there is no hope for The Comedy Network after seeing so many terrible shows over the years.

I wish I could get rid of it but it is part of a cable package with other shows I actually care about.

Maybe that is how they make money and manage to stay on the air even though they suck.

The person who made the decision to put this pathetic excuse for a show on the air is the real person who needs a "Punch 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.
