It's as if they made this show for a bunch of 12 year old boys!
I got to 13 seconds and I just couldn't watch it anymore. Ninja style cries that remind me of Jackie Chan. I mean I turned to my mom and I said "Okay, that's enough of that!"! I'd rather watch a new season of Schitt's Creek because that show's creators are funny.
My mom didn't like it either so what does that say about the writers of this show?

I've sincerely enjoyed three seasons of Tallboyz. It shifts well between joyful absurdity and thoughtful takes on pertinent issues. I especially find myself drawn to the genuine, and hilarious demeanour that Guled Abdi brings to his performances. Looking forward to following the career from all four core members of the cast.
These guys are genuinely funny, and their best skits are the ones where they just let their imaginations run wild. But so many of their skits just feel as if they were written by some downtown-Toronto white person (or white-adjacent person) obsessed with ticking boxes to demonstrate "wokeness." It gets to the point where you sit there, already cringing, just waiting for the diatribe about some intense social issue. I watch comedy to escape this kind of thing, not to be slammed with it over and over. And I'm an immigrant! Their perspective is just way too big-city-university-white-person-focused. They don't make any jokes for real immigrants. They never explore any of the successful immigrant communities. It's the most misleading and ridiculous portrayal of Canada. But it's a shame because these guys really are funny, and we really were lacking in diversity for comedy sketch shows, so I welcomed this when it came on. I think they should be brave and just rely on their humour, not ticking boxes.
I like sketch shows and looking forward to this one out of Canada. But of course its just trying to hard to tick all the left boxes.
With a mixed cast cast you would think it would bring more culture and diverse views to the table but its really not an educated funny show.
There is no laughs to be had in this 'comedy' show. Its really not saying much on anything that its target audience wouldn't agree with and thats a shame because it comes off as one sided and unfunny.
This is the type of show that looks, 'for claps not for laughs' from the audience.
1 episode of Letterkenny is worth a hundred of this show.
This show is so cute and lovely, and of course, funny - it's one of my favs. I also appreciate more sketch comedy coming to out, the more the merrier.
