This is a sketch comedy show for kids and as it is I liked it. It's in the spirit of You Can't Do That on Television but not as good as that but still good. The cast and skits are hit and miss but the show moves along briskly so the bad ones don't bother me so much.

I'll admit, I've only seen one episode. But it's not completely terrible. It's a show for kids, so you can't expect the most sophisticated humour. The jokes are all about how dorky your parents seem when you're a tween/teen. They do a version of Rick Mercer's "Talking To Americans" called "What Do Adults Know" that just falls flat. The most disappointing thing about the show is that they're so focused on one style of joke, they miss opportunities to be truly hilarious. But they give it a good shot, and occasionally come through with a chuckle.
Unfortunately it's still way, way behind the gold standard in kids' comedy shows, You Can't Do That On Television (also from Canada). -
We stumbled across the show purely by accident and I enjoyed it enough to come online and look up more info on the show origins on IMDb.
Amazing and talented young cast that is very funny. Timely spoofs that the whole family can watch and enjoy (my kids are 7, 8 and we were all chuckling at it). For example - a nice little play on Glee and Lost = GLost. A Susan Boyle skit that was spot on. A "This is Daniel Cook" sketch that we all laughed about - the kids used to love that show and the spoof touched on things that the adults used to comment on when we were watching it with the kids.
The writers are delivering some great material and the actors are doing some fun things with it.
I was surprised by the negative review frankly. I think we'll be seeing a lot more of this great cast. -
iliketv26 January 2011I watched this show several times, hoping to find anything positive. I was devastatingly disappointed. This show is absolutely the worst show on YTV, no, the worst show I have EVER seen. This show is not even funny, it is boring, and the acting is really really BAD. I don't even know how something this bad got accepted.
It's hilarious that some of the people working on the show have to come on here and give positive reviews to defend the show. Isn't this enough evidence that the show sucks ??
If you don't believe me, then go watch it, but Don't say I didn't warn you!! -
In a way, this show is great. By great, I mean it's great if you love watching that obnoxious fat kid in your school try their hardest to be funny and relevant by barraging anyone he can get to pay attention to him for more than five minutes with goofy noises and "random" jokes that lose their appeal as quickly as they started, only to be incredibly awkward, creating an uncomfortable situation for everyone involved. Speaking of fat children nobody likes, there's always the over-protective and well-meaning mother behind him. The mother will say anything she can, think any way she can, to make her son and sometimes even herself believe that they're great, and special, and deserving of praise. As anyone who has a mother like this knows, though, the outside world will never see you as your mother does, and the truth is her worst enemy.
Numbers, awards, and ratings do not indicate quality, they indicate appeal and popularity, and the three are separate things entirely. The vast amount of stupid crap that has been put on a pedestal for one reason or another is endless, and no amount of viewers will change the quality of that which they're viewing. You will not find a shred of value in this show, it does nothing that would warrant repeating and it will be forgotten along with the other waves of watered down teen comedy shows. If you'd like to believe the person who cast these idiot children and gave it a 10 star review, pleading within for "other ways" to judge it over the outside observers, that's up to you, but it's no more valid than the loving mother ensuring her fat autistic hillbilly child that he's cool. -
daixiaoxue29 April 2020Absolutely one of my favorite shows to watch on ytv when I was little. It was just super entertaining funny sketches that made me laugh. It also made me feel more adult watching it I guess since it was more of an SNL style sketch show that I didn't see other kids shows doing. And as a kid feeling a little more grown up was fun. I think the show was smart. Referencing so many things in pop culture that people from all ages know. Like Daniel Cook, twilight, and Susan Boyle. Now as a teenager watching clips back I can still appreciate and enjoy the show. Now getting some of the jokes I didn't understand or watching the funny references they made to things I hadn't watched yet as a kid like twilight and Glee. The cast is really talented too. The diverse range of characters each actor plays and pulls off really well. I admit there are bad sketches but overall it was a really entertaining show as a kid and something I still get nostalgic about and find myself watching on YouTube on sick days to get a good laugh. I don't see why it is getting so much hate especially since it's a kids show but everyone needs something to express their anger onto and trolls exist everywhere.

bdoyledimou27 June 2010Ugh.. this show is absolutely horrible.
It tries to be a Teen version of MADTV and flops. The skits are atrocious.. but that may just be because of horrible actors (that seem to be high school drama class drop outs) There isn't even eye candy to make it worthwhile to watch with the volume down.
this is gross out potty comedy at it's worst. I can image the writing sessions go something along the lines of "here's an idea, no that won't work, let's run with it!!"
Some of the ongoing gags (Like Raptoritus) aren't weird.. they are just stupid. I cant believe tax dollars are going towards this garbage.
