    Lame.... Please Apply Cement Boots And Throw In Nearest Lake....

    This show was so lame! I am happy it is gone but still angry that it was ever on television to begin with. How does garbage like this ever get made? I am convinced the guy in this show is the son of the person who owns the station otherwise how does such an unfunny clip where a guy talks to himself in an owl suit get turned into a half hour show? Was half a minute not enough time to watch something awful we need to see it for a full half hour? The show wouldn't have even been funny if I had just smoked 18 pounds of the best pot I have ever gotten my hands on. I would still be angry watching this because I could pick out ten of my friends from class who have no training or experience but could go on television and just tell stories and burp--literally--and still be way more funny than this useless abortion of a television show. Never put this on the air again.

    I give up

    Im gonna be honest Im a MAJOR pot head and I haven't laughed once through the whole series. This is even worse then Tim and Eric who the hell wrote this a monkey? The show doesn't make ANY sense at all and I can't believe they let this air. Comedy Network needs to replace whoever in charge because I cant stand there schedule Just For Laughs reruns come on like 10 times a day and most of that's just 40 year old men whine about being married then there's 22 Minutes not the least bit funny ant there voices annoy me are they supposed to be pirates or something? And don't get me started about Red Green once again its made for 60 year old alcoholic fishermen and then there's Air Farce which is obviously a Mad TV rip off (the taxi guy is based on the depressed Persian tow truck man) and now there putting kids in the hall back on? They really need to appeal to younger generations if they want to be any good and hotbox isn't the way to go I hate to say it but Canadian comedy just isn't that good the only Canadian shows they have that are funny is Jon Dore and Hiccups other then that here's some shows they need: Family Guy, More Tosh.0, More South Park, Chappelle Show, More Mad TV... Umm thats about it sorry for going off point but I just needed to give my opinion on the Comedy Network.

    Horrible, Horrible, Horrible.

    Hotbox is horrible. It is horrible, horrible, horrible. I have not seen one single funny joke on this show and have not even cracked a smile once.

    Obviously this show is made for potheads but who wants such a stupid audience anyway? Has the Comedy Network just given up then, and said well maybe we can do okay with the worst audience there is? The sad thing is I don't even think there are potheads out there who would find this show even the slightest bit entertaining. There is nothing funny on this show.

    Saying "creams" over and over while a guy rubs cream on himself isn't funny. It seems like it should be funny but so does the idea of Robocop selling cereal. Somehow the people on this show could not get anything funny out of any of their ideas. Probably because they're all potheads? They probably find themselves funny. Good thing because otherwise nobody in the world would be enjoying this show. Shows like Hotbox are why I am ashamed of Canadian TV.

    Really Bad Show, Unoriginal & Unfunny

    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.

    Hotbox 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.
