Blood's a bit eery. Menstruation made as a joke is an interesting angle. Good luck on your journey to fulfilment!

I don't like this. Maybe as a guy I am just too uncomfortable with seeing jars of menstrual blood (is this really a thing anyone does?) and hearing that much talk about it. Maybe that is wrong of me but to be honest I don't see a national TV show succeeding when a lot of men and also women would be turned off by subject matter they think is kinda gross.

Yeah not to sure I like this concept!! I think it takes it way over the edge! Not for me sorry best of luck on other endeavours.

this video was pretty nasty. I don't think many viewers will want to see this much about the menstrual cycle or get this many visuals based on it. This is not for me sorry.

What in the menstrual cycle? This was pretty gross, but your charm and comedic prowess shine through all the blood. Period. Wink. : best part.

Well that was . . . different. I guess that's the assignment. Thanks for the laugh.

This is AH-mazing! Thank you ladies. I snorted chocolate soy milk out my nose watching.

Can't get enough of this teaser! I love you girls!! You're amazing!

Great stuff here, very odd and very funny!

I actually love this. Super cute mason jars. I do think the concept/script/jokes are better than the execution but I am struggling to be more constructive / specific...maybe it just means we need to see more! I hope you keep pushing yourselves, am excited to see this come to life even more.

Also, Faisal seems like the man.

LOLOL WOW, ya's were really holding back in the second video, NO HOLDS BARRED, good work

Love how this show is trying to remove the stigma surrounding women and their periods. It's just blood people! Love the sass and love the concept, keep up the great work ladies!

Everyone needs to calm down. News flash, it's 2014 and women have always been getting their periods. You can watch TV shows with blood, gore and violence, but a little bit of period blood scares you off? I like the Crimson Wave. Funny shit.

Sorry ladies, should I hurl now or later ? I thought I was bad using tampons for my home made candles but you are out of the park.

This video made me feel very uncomfortable and now I feel guilty for feeling that way. Am I a bad person now? What have you done to me Crimson Wave?

You gals are hilarious! Keep it up!

sassy, witty and riskayy. love it ladies. super weird. ;-)

Love it! Cringe-worthy while funny.

better than fertilizer!

Son of a gun, I love these videos. So funny, so smart, so necessary. Can't wait to see more videos - you will surely get my vote each week. KEEP IT COMING, FINE PEOPLE!

this is a neat idea but I think you would struggle to get male viewers to tune into this every week.

Every video you guys do is so goddamn funny. There is nothing like this on TV and CBC would be better for having your show on. I love everything you guys have done and can't wait to see more. DIVA SHOTS!!!
Love,
Christophe

YESSSSS Please!

This is super great! I'm gonna be checking our your podcast too. Ladies normalizing periods, heck yes!

"Make-up, flawless"
:)

Bravo to the Crimson Wave for popularizing and rendering super cute/funny the conversation on menstruation. Hyperbolized female perspective is a great way to open the flood gates of authentically women-centred stories on main stream media. Keep it flowing, 'til Le Tigre calls you out on Hot Topic (if they haven't already.)

Definitely happy to see a realistic "female issues" show get some action... And you have some funny stuff too! The PSA style info is also pretty classic. What are you using as blood? It's pretty realistic.. haha

Absolutely disgusting. Which is awesome. I completely think there is space in the world for a really "real" female show - one that laughs in the face of the disgusting and the gross and the completely natural. For example - period poops. Let's see an entire episode that explains period poops to people.

I think every woman has a weird vagina story waiting inside. You either bled on something, or had some kind of weird goop come out, or maybe the gyno got her speculum stuck inside you and had to actually hoist her foot up on the table to get leverage as she tried to yank it out - at which point the mechanism that was keeping it stuck open (and inside you) gives way with a giant CRANK and the gyno actually falls backward a little. Not that that happened to anybody I know. Or me.

Uh, well... good luck.

Very funny but I wonder if it would be too informational or too similar of the same thing??? I dunno But I wish you the best of luck! :)

I wonder if Diva cup will sponsor your show. That would be cool. You really need to work on the sound though. Sounds like you're in a tin can. Really can make or brake a video.

Yes yes yes yes yes. Oh your mail! Great work ladies. It will be a tough sell but as soon as my roommate told me it was a diva cup how to video, I had to come watch it!

Next Step: fan art of Megaman in menstrual "leavings", haha.

I can't see my Father finding this very amusing ...or funny...however I did laugh, once

You guys are doing a great job! I am really happy with this but my only complaint is that you should feature more heavily the wonderful actress Catherine McCormick, she’s something special.

Oh Good Lord. That is so disgusting, but so awesome. I will be referring all men to this video in future. I don't know if I should laugh for puke. In the best way.

You two have a great dynamic together. Also the PSA style video works perfectly for the blue (...red?) subject matter. Definitely a great way to imply how different you are. No one else would touch this with as much panache. Well done. Hope you guys go far.

That was a lot of blood. This started off making me cringe but once the comedy kicked in I was pleasantly surprised at how light hearted it became.

While I love this with all my feminist heart, I don't see how this would be a TV show that I would watch consistently. I will definitely check out the podcast. But there's room there to expand it past just the single issue of periods!

It's bad enough we are forced to watch tampon commercials on TV. Personally I skip through them as soon as they come on, but I can't think of anything more disgusting than using this concept for a show. It's not something I would watch or would anyone that I know. I have to give you credit though for your originality and creativity, but you are going to need more than luck to be successful in this venture.

I love this. Super funny!

Peter S. nailed it, with points 1) and 2)

That mail sorting at the end is PURE GOLD

Ok. Funny.. but a little too in your face with the gross. Some people really cant handle even the smallest bit of blood, and not to say that menstruation blood is more gross, menstruation is a wonderful thing and YAY women! but im not sure if the blood thing could make it on TV.. maybe a show that TALKS about menstruation? Even that, the concept is a bit wonky. Good luck, though!

Look at how syrupy those periods are! MUST BE BECAUSE THIS IDEA IS SO SWEET. I want to make that cackle my ring tone and forever .gif it to the world.

Ah...exploiting the fear of the period! Love it! We've all been in those "bloody" situations. However, I think less blood and more "situation" surrounding the cursed period would be more appealing.

I've watched all your videos to date and agree that your concept is very new and absolutely different. I just don't see how any of this is funny, more gross than anything. Good luck in the competition though, maybe the CBC is looking for something this different?

I'm speechless.

haha! this is my kind of tv. Funny, witty, educational... and anything to do with women, vaginas, feminism and beyonce, i'm in.

Kinda gross. I don't imagine ever being able to watch this on prime time. On the internet, sure anything goes - but we're talking about CBC here. Alternatively, you should pitch this to diva cup because they'll probably find it hilarious and perhaps would be interested in funding some product placement for a web series.

Team Crimson Wave, your videos make me think two things:

1) There is no way CBC will air this at prime time.
2) CBC has to air this at prime time.

I would be so proud to be Canadian if this was green lit. It's like nothing else on TV. Edgy and relevant. Oh gawd, I just used the word "edgy". Buzzword barf. This isn't edgy. This is a revolution. Vive la Crimson Wave.

I loved the choice to show his "just looking at the mail" outtakes (*sidenote to Faisal, I really believed those letters were for you). I love how the leads treat "radical" as normal. I think the audience will gradually learn. The hosts are not insane. The world is. There's a great Sue-Johanson-nonjudgmental-frank-and-funny vibe. I think it might be fun to interact with some characters with different (repressed, shy) energy.

Maybe a way to frame the whole series is that the hosts find out that they are the descendants of some nasty people who made womens' lives hell (witch burners, the inventor of the corset, etc). To make amends, they pledge to fight for the cause of women's inner peace. Every time a woman feels comfortable with her body they mark it down in their book. It doesn't always work out but they try to spread love and comfort in this terrified, repressed world.

Oh my God!! I think I felt a little queasy watching this. I guess it is important to feel something but I did not like that feeling, I don.t know where this could go from here . Wow!!

YO these ladies are tiiiight. Love this.

Periods are just not that funny!!

I honestly would not like to see a show on television about any ones menstrual cycle including their period. It could be covered easily in a short skit.

ha!! so many useful household tips in this video! :)

That was incredible. I love the work both of you are doing right now, it's as funny as it is important. Love the podcast, amazing live shows, and now it needs to be a tv show. You're both a really big inspiration to me, thanks so much for being so funny and so brave.

What? Where did you guys get coloured diva cups? Mine in boring white. No self expression in that at all. Anyways, great video as always! So funny.

Oh my god! This was hilarious and so relatable as a girl. You guys are really funny - keep up the great work! :)
