This was the first video I watched from Bad Records and have to say, you guys won me over. Love all your stuff and I was sad to not see you advance. Good luck with whatever you do from here, I'm sure it'll be awesome.
GOOD LUCK!!! See you on here tomorrow :D
You're support has been awesome! Thanks Karen.
Painfully close to real life! Funny stuff!
Mike P. Brings the comedy gold ~ as usual. Great teamwork M&P& ? &? & ? !!!
Wow, some really eye catching visuals here with the bikini and the Mr T thing... But also really good work. Keep it up!
Best wishes to the top 55 contestant winners and congratulations on having your efforts recognized in this CBC Comedycoup contest. Good Luck to those making the top 15.
This seems like it has a lot of potential. Really funny! Loved that little bathroom chat ;) Lots of respect for a little integrity throw in. Liked that joke a lot :)
This is my favorite video of this round. Nice work guys!
this is quite similar to several other plots out there. some of the ideas are funny but do not seem original. maybe things will progress in a more interesting way.
i agree
Bad Records made me feel very uncomfortable during your hype mission, and that is a very good thing. Your Actor, that was so scared was straight up hilarious. Good job! Good luck in making top 15
Hahaha, love how messed up this week's video is. I actually dig it when groups take some leeway with the weekly prompt and try something different. Kudos gang!
I love the juxtaposition of your lead characters, and find their contrast most amusing. I definitely empathize with Mike though and feel just as awkward and uncomfortable with that video.
Friggin' excellent. HAHAHAHAHA!!! Good luck tonight guys!!!!!
-Dom (YARNS)
P.S - Are we still meeting in New Brunswick to get friggin' loaded?
Well done! Pro pick was well deserved! Can't wait to see what you come out with next. Good luck!
Dispite the fact that this video was hilarious, well-written, and beautifully shot, I feel like it ultimately missed the point of the mission. If I were a reporter and watched this for information on what the show was about, I would be at a total loss. It makes me wonder how this was the pro's pick. Great job though and I look forward to seeing more from you!
Great job making top 55, There is some stiff competition out there and more than a few laughs. I think you will be in the Top 15 ! Good luck
ooohhh ladies ... you have my attention. But seriously, good little video. Liked the ridiculousness of it all, great production value to it as well.
hataatata nothin like it. i really appreciate what you're doing here. youve got serious game and i have become a big admirer. you deserve to win this contest. you are definitely welcome to entertain me any time of the year. keep it up and be the people youve always wanted to be.
Top Comment of the night. Thank Dawson!
My Top 5 picks!
1. Wasted
2. Bike Cops
3. Roll for Damage
4.Infinite Possibilities
5. Geoff and the Ninja
Good luck in the competition guys! everyones been doing a pretty good job considering the time constraints to film each challenge.
BAHAHAHAHA. Alright, you got me. I'm into this. Well done on this weeks mission, and congrats on the well deserved pro pick. Keep doing what you're doing! Good luck!
The team's transparent use of sex to promote Bad Records is so inappropriate, it's funny! Nice Going. The diaper bit may be over-kill, but is quirky, so it kind of fits with the humor here. Not bad rap, either. You really hyped up your logo, so nice work!
Interesting premise. Have the potential to be something good depending on if there are any spoofing of popular music genres. If situated in Montreal can also have some of that French flavor to it as well which can't hurt. Should contain more nudity.
Something disturbing about this whole thing. I'm sure if it is in a good way. You guys are brave and racy. I would want my nieces to see this, but that probably okay for you guys.
Congratulations on making it to the Top 55! Creative team, interesting concept. It’s tough to come up with solid product each week so kudos for your hard work. Best of luck moving into the top 15.
I have to hand it to the people who put this competition together. In a million years I never would have checked this out on my own account, but they make it a game with points and voting and all that. Suddenly in checking out videos like this and quite enjoying them. I hope I see this able in the top 15.
I completely agree Travis - I've been mostly writing the past few years, and this competition kicked my ass into making 4 videos a month. It's also opened my eyes to some really great talent in Canada that I'd never heard of... -Paul from Bad Records
Great loved it from start to finish, everything was exceptional about this. I love videos, I love comedy and I love this sooooo much. All the best and best of luck in this glorious competition!!!!!!
Part, bad records music video, part late night infomercial. I liked it once we got to the crazy-haired guy's character...he's cool, and I think, the best part. Good luck guys.
bad records is cool weird and funny stuff
Hahaha That grey fence stuff is hilarious when they reveal how its being shot and who is holding it up. Too funny. I like the way its done. Really comical perspectives.
Pretty funny
Not exactly sure what this clip had to do with bad records but there was some funny stuff here. Loved the skin but not sure I understand the screen. Good luck!
Hah, thanks for the comment Cheryl! The screen was an homage to videos made in the 80's and 90's where there were always cages and chain link fences for some reason. The best we could do was chicken wire, as that was all that could fit in my car.
Very funny stuff and is definitely a top 15 contender. Definitely one of the funnier ones I've seen. Good luck in the next round!
This is easily the sexiest video I've seen in this competition so far. Congrats on winning the pro's pick and good luck making it in to the top 15.
Please lord in heaven may this project see the light of day! So funny!!
don't mean to be mean, but am I the only one surprised why your mission this week was the pros pick? it's daring and disturbingly, mildly humourous, but it gives me almost nothing as a journalist and not much more as extra funny. I liked the original concept.
I really have no idea what this show is about yet but this video was hilarious and makes me want to watch your previous mission vids. So congrats on that. Best of luck in the rest of the competition!
Good luck to you this week! Lots of tough competition out there. May the best teams win. Congrats on making it to the top 55 and good luck again in the top 15!
AHHH!!! I can't stand the suspense!! Looking forward to seeing you on the top 15 list !!
Thanks Karen. Loved your comments!
Too funny!!!! you guys have a lot of potential and I say go for it!!! You can make a real difference and get the funny message out there and tell people what it is like to work with musicians (who I have heard are a crazy bunch)!!! Good luck!
This show has great comedy potential; I really like the new spin you are putting on established TV tropes and am looking forward to what more you can come up with!
Thanks Jonathan.
Definitely the funniest video of this week. Well deserved Pro Pick. I think this show has lots of potential and if it's anything like this last video I'm in.
Would love to hear what the woman says.
The DVD extras got lost in a fire, we may never know!
Great video Bad Records, awesome job on making Pros Pick, good luck in the voting for top 15. -Wharf Rats
Thanks Robbie. If we don't advance plan B is the same as Plan A get drunk at Mike's mom's house (land of non-stop hot snacks).
Bad Records is definitely full of Good Jokes! You guys are really doing a lot with a little, and I love that. I also like how you're interacting with celebrities and things like that. It's a really good idea and I hope you guys make it!
nice stuff guys. you seem to have a lot of support and week after week your videos are delivered professionally, and most importantly: with a lotta laughs. good luck in the next stages of the competition
Thanks Ryan. It's been really amazing making a video per week. Our group came together for the first time for this project and we had no idea we'd be working so much together.

Welcome to Tulip
Wharf Rats
As a "Spence", I always dreaded alphabetical order, but it's finally OK in this context. Thanks for the support Keith.
nice video i really laugh at loud , i really like the main characters acting, he is really good, i would like to see more of him i would say. its nice to have new peeps in your vids but i would enjoy seing more of the main characters.
I agree, Mike is a funny guy. It's really been fun working with a guy who does the most ridiculous things, then yells at you, "THIS ISN'T FUNNY" just before the camera rolls to settle you down.
Yeah, I am confused as to what it's about and it's seems a little static like it's just running one one joke. But maybe that's just me.
I just can't wait to see you advance. So excited for the next step.
Thanks Karen. We don't even know what the next step is, should we make it. The joys and perils of the Comedy Coup!
The humor is not up my alley. Give me a break. I still don't know what your concept is about. I guess i just don't like the background music either. Best wishes in the competition.
The music was composed by us, an ode to the sexy late night chat line commercials, which sought to trick teenagers into using their parent's credit cards for the intoxicating treats of adult fantasy. Thanks for watching!
hahahahaha I can see why you guys won the pro's pick! friggen' great job guys, here's hoping we see each other in the top 15!! Yer buddy Micah - Team Yarns
Thanks Micah, your vid this week should have been Pros Pick in my opinion. funny, and actually spoke to the Mission! But what do I know?!
I did find you funny. I only laughed out loud on two shows. Bad Records and The Country Club. I enjoyed Littleton Falls, but they didn't make me laugh out loud. You three need to be top 15 for sure
My girlfriend and I really like The Country club too!
This one is pretty funny. Your show is not my favourite but there are some good jokes. I don't know if you really followed the challenge for this week. I enjoyed watching.
maybe I'm too old, but I just didn't find it funny.
I don't think you are too old Jim. It's just that muscle men and sexy music aren't for everyone. My cousin strongly disliked this video, and yet liked the one where we burned Mike's feet. There world is entropy...
Pretty funny stuffy. You guys have a bit of a Tenacious D thing going on. I thought that guy looked familiar! Tron Funkin Blows man. Anyways, here's a nice lil throwback: go Loose Moose theatre!
Bruce! YES! The Loose Moose. There are a few other LM alums here, like Cutbacks, and The Hill. Both great stuff. Thanks for watching.
So great. I knew when I watched this that it would be the pro's pick--too good. I love that you just made something funny. Show us the funny and that's all the hype we need.
Thanks Christina, although we veered from the Mission, we had fun making it.
i think this is great, and i mean, the fact that the dude was in a diaper...well that was the turning of a new page in my life. i think i laughed pretty hard, on a scale that measures laughing at dudes on diapers
NIce video; funny and well made.
Hahaha great concept, and the humour is right up my alley. Looking forward to more from you guys.
thought the video was funny and well made. Nice to watch a sketch and not an infomerical. Doesn't describe the show, show's it. Major complaint: we say ZED in Canada c'monnnn
We are from Quebec! We will learn how to say "about" "zed" and "coup" eventually!
Amazing work. super funny stuff and I truly believe you guys will be top 15 with some other great teams. All the hardwork and dedication these teams have presented is outstanding. wow
I didn't find this offensive I just didn't laugh. I really don't understand why everyone was so up in arms about it being offensive, the whole point was for it to be pointed out by the actor in the end! At the end though, the part with the guy who was protesting the video was cute. I think there is some real talent with these guys/girls. The only thing I wasn’t clear about was how this video had anything to do with comedy coup. The objective was to help the audience get us to understand why we should choose you.
Kat -you are absolutely right, this had very little to do with Comedy Coup's Mission of the week... But we had some chicken wire and friends who lift weights... it made sense at the time.
Wow - the claws really come out when one is chosen as a pro-pick, eh? I'm sure these commenters didn't watch all the way through, otherwise they'd see Mike actually question the fact that this commercial was borderline offensive. I guess it at least gets people talking - which is a mark of any successful series, right? I say well done - hilarious stuff.
Like my grandad always said, "If you can't take the heat, stop putting your feet so close to the fire after snow shoeing" Thanks for the great comment Meghan!
As someone who works in media, they would totally have my interest and attention if they dared to send me this as a pitch. Hopefully they have their spiel ready for when I call :)
Paul is a great orator! He is amazing at spieling! I will be there too!
i have to agree with the previous two posters here. sometimes by playing into stereotypes in an effort to subvert them, all you do i sreinforce the, - see the recent Lone Ranger depiction for an example of waht i mean. i certainly dont think you have any cruel intentions but you need to be careful about what way your humour is cutting.
Hey Bobby just watched the Lone Ranger and I do see what you mean. But the Hype Man really is a Hype man, the two body builders regularly preform in competitions in front of the public. So we felt they weren't being objectified. Thanks for your input!
That isn't really that funny. Why would that joke be funny? Sometimes despite the direction you are taking in the series it isn't smart to play into the stereotypes, despite if you think you're breaking them.
Quite frankly we weren't trying to break stereotypes, it was more of an ode to the direction of those old tv ads for chat lines. It was our teenage sexual awakening!
As an female with an african/indian background, this video offends me. I see your commitment but could you have toned it down a little bit more? I dont know how this is a pros pick.
Hi Jasneet, thanks for the comment. We work with our Hype Man all the time in the world of live wrestling, so it just seemed natural to get him to do it. He's just the best at what he does, it wasn't so much about the colour of his skin. But I can totally see where you're coming from.
your sell sheet, guys, is awesome! it has a lot of information on it and is visually appealing to, which from what i understand was the point. great video, too. you have a shot at moving on
Some good thought behind this one to be able to sell it the way you did. Definitely had some Comedy factor to it but no real mention of Coup status from what I could tell. Hilarious is the fact that it is so offensive. I can see better comedy than prejudice comedy coming from this project though.
And we got a real hype man to star in a hype video! Brad Alekxis is an awesome talent!
Super funny video but it might be offensive to a lot of folks especially women. I get the 80's bad commercial vibe you guys are trying to portray but i feel like this video is a cut above poop jokes. Funny but itll lose its merits soon.
The funny thing about this video to me is that it is offensive to minorities and women. It is repetitive and I don't think you actually thought through on this concept, but hey! A woman in a bikini made me click as i'm sure it did the another 300 people. Would like to see a little more high comedy from you over low comedy. good luck
Why didn't you look at the guy?
Good video. Too bad both cross dressing Mom shows from Newfoundland also used bikini clad actresses (actors?...you can never be sure) to entice the audience for Hype It. Honestly, I'd have a lot more to say about this if I wasn't watching it in secret at work.
This brought so many fond memories of the old 'Pick up the Phone' ads. Paul and Mike are two of my favorite characters in the ComedyCoup. I hope you make the Top15.
Totally bizarre. While I liked that you guys did a send up of the video, it didn't quite recover into being funny. Your commitment is great, however.
Very clever. The combo of the sell and the comedy of the show. Almost lost me with the intro because I was worried it was going on for a bit too long. Almost switched to the next project. But kept watching and am glad I did. No mention of your Comedy Coup status for the potential press person.
Congrats on getting the pro’s pick this week! A very funny and effective video. The sell sheet just seems like a synopsis though.
Oh my gosh - this is so funny! Good luck guys!! Wish I could pick up the phone and vote - this site is so glitchy :)
Good idea going after the #diaperlovers demographic. Like Bronys, they are an incredibly popular subculture highly under-represented in the mainstream. I'm sure you'll attract some interesting fans with that move. Just don't forget to use the tag #diaperlovers, so they can find you.
I like the oddball humor and commitment of the actors. Look forward to seeing more from you cats! j.
Very funny video! A great send-up of these late-night ads. Love the metahumour. Keep it up guys, lots of luck as you push forward!
Congratulations on making it to the final 55 you made it that far at least. Sex sells so the skin show should help but the diaper and soother was maybe a bridge to far. The cut and lets rethink it seemed to have you returning but then you moved off again.
I didn't find this that funny- but i do wish you lots of luck! :)
It's a good video! Congrats on the pros pic guys you deserve it! Funny stuff - I would be very happy to watch more and hope to see you in the top 15!
This wasn't my thing, but I think the last scene worked quite well. Good luck.
It didn't make sense to me at the beginning (for the mission) but I'm glad I kept listening because all of my, "what the?" questions were answered, lol. The first mission had me convinced that I would not be interested in this show but I may go back and check out the others missions now. Well done.
Interesting approach to the hype video, I almost picked up the phone. Loved the skin and the banter. Not sure I got the screen and the baby diaper. It did make me laugh, good luck ...
It was a metal cage to contain the sexiness of the body builders!
Toddlerz is a hip hop crew.
Very professional and funny approach to the hype video! Good luck!
Not my kinda humour. Not sure if this would have a wide audience
funny stuff here guys! i really like the sell sheet too. very professional and informative. great job. i havent checked out much so far of yours but i want to go back and revisit it :)
Ha ha.. nice video.. I started laughing when I saw the diaper. Good concept on this one.. I'll definitely be back to check out more if you guys make it into the top 15. Best of luck from the east coast.. rock on, Bad Records!
This weeks video was not really funny. A bit too aggressive for my taste. But sex sells so keep trying guys! Interested to see how you do on the next challenge!
If there was no sex in the world there would be no journalists. think about that...
Ok, funny. Would come back and check this out next week. Best of luck.
this is BAD ASS! A real diaper filler!!!! #awesomefunny
Well, no ones done this approach for a hype video before, fantastic job! The diaper joke alone made me decide to come back next week!
The more I see of these guys the more I like. One of the crews where you can tell the team is getting better and the weeks go on. You got my votes!
Good luck into the top 15! I threw some votes at ya!
As always, Bad Records rocks it. I loved the meta-jokes, actually having a true hype man for a hype video is bang on. Mike P's acting too, he's showing another side that kind of makes me want to love him more.
Well it took me a while to get a idea of what was going on I think I would like to have seen more about what the show was about,although I'm not sure you could put comedy and drama in the same sentence on a weekly basis but good luck.
It's Scooby meets Glee!
One of the best week 5's I've seen yet. A lot of people are wrapped up in the specific concept and details. I will watch a show about anything if the writing and performances are funny, you guys seem to have that no problem.
That is exactly what we are going for! We love to laugh and we love to make jokes! We are having a blast making these videos every week! Just filmed another yesterday. It's spicy!
Good luck in the contest. The video is well done. It’s getting to be a tight contest. I wish you all the best. What’s next if you don’t make the cut? You should check out your local film festival.
This could so totally be a film!
Didn't know what to think of your video at first and even though it felt a little creepy and weird, it drew me in and I kept watching. lol When I finally realized what was going on, I thought it was very funny! Good job! Would have liked to see more of what your show is about though. Good luck with the rest of the competition!
It's about a music studio that solves mysteries for bands like Scooby Doo! (Don't tell Paul that we are making a live action cartoon. He thinks it's a gritty drama like Law and Order Special Music Unit)
Nice job, Bad Records! I like the fact that the musician guests have all had something weird/funny going on - I'd be interested in seeing a full Toddlerz episode.
Also that is some daaaammmnnnn fine-looking chicken-wire. Hope to see more of it in future videos.
I think it is keeping Paul's chickens in order
WOW
Looks like you are having a lot of fun. I am fond of your humor. Your concept is an enjoyable one which would appeal to many. Keep up the great work and I wish you well making it to the next level.
I like the characters in this video. The older guy really makes me laugh. It is not easy to produce great stuff with no money, no nothing, but you guys have been working real hard and have come this far. Keep it up guys, and good luck
Am I the older guy? Thanks!!! .....wait......
Gratuitous skin, shot like a sex chatline add ... wasn't quite sure the purpose of the chicken wire. The one guys discomfort did become funny. Does the number really work? lol
I nearly turned off this video because of where it looked like it was going. I'm glad I didn't because it actually turned out to be quite amusing. Great work with the jokes, I would like to see more of you in this competition.
We held it just long enough to make things uncomfortable! In fact the only people that WERE comfortable were the body builders!! Lol.
am laying on the couch covered in cheeto dust, waiting for an infomercial to tell me what to do. thanks, and best of luck in top 15 voting!
If you've got a good concept, depth of characters, unlimited potential for interesting story lines that make me laugh hysterically, then I hope you will continue onto the next level. Best of luck to you!
Pretty ridiculous, but it still holds it together to become great comedy material! I love the idea, and I really hope for this project to take off. Good luck!
Congratulations for making the Top 55. Your project comes across as being funny and quirky and leaves room for much more. Good luck
I didn't know what to expect, but the awkward-funny really came through. I'm wary of videos that have lots of skin (female or male) to attract attention, but the reason why became clear. Good luck!
Hahah I think this is very creative and I think it is shot well. At first I thought it was an actual advertisement and laughed out loud when I saw the two guys holding the screen lol. Good luck guys keep it up
Good job making it to top 55, your show is hilarious and can't wait to see more of it. good luck on making it to the top 15 and beyond.
This concept could be hilarious and you know the cast is great. It won't need to be recast if it gets picked up. I always enjoy coming by to see what you guys are up to. Congrats on making the top 55 and good luck working your way into the top 15.
We are loving every minute of this!
This is clever! I was really entertained and your concept had quite a twist. At first I thought OMG what are you doing with these dancers and why the creepy cage? But now I know that you are character building, great job and good luck!
Thanks Cyprus! But remember... Those weren't dancers! They are bodybuilders!
We plan to have my character married to a bodybuilder who won't take any of Paul's Shenanigans! And if the boys get into trouble we have a built in Deus Ex Machina in the Joanie character who can bail them out!
Hey guys! In my opinion, there's something there... I don't know what you usually up to, but i can see potential and funny stuff. On the other hand, you're not that different from many sitcom that i already know, but you seem to have some good characters. I think you just need to go further with the characters. Good luck! by the way, sorry for my english, my first language is french! :)
We are trying to be different yet similar! Thanks for sharing!
I really love the way you guys tackled this mission, very few were able to make me laugh and yet here you guys are making me pee my pants. great job. I look forward to what comes next.
This train keeps a rolling in new and hilarious ways! I'm super jazzed about this project!
One of the funniest videos this week. Probably shouldn't have watched it at work though!
You guys have been consistently funny and I won't be surprised to see you rise to glory!
Tell yer boss that he or she shouldn't be afraid if the human body! Especially with the champion body builders we cast in the video! Physical perfection is something we plan to contrast with Paul and my's schlubby bodies!
Although the dude in the diaper is hard to make excuses for....
This video also made me uncomfortable. But in the best way possible. I love it. What a hype video! Keep it going! Best of luck making it into the top 15!!!
You should have seen the shoot! We were all looking the other way like gentlemen the whole time! And my fiancée was there oiling bodies! Lol.
Although Darren was right up in there with his camera! No respect!!!
Luh luh luhve it. I Congratulations on making it to the Top 55 and I good lucking on making it to the Top 15!!
Really enjoyed your Hype It posting. Keep up the good work. Your storyline is crazy funny and the writing is great. Hope you make it into the top fifteen!
It's hard to go wrong with rappers in diapers thats for sure. Congratulations on making it to the Top 55 and good luck on making it to the Top 15!!
We are developing a hip hop crew called Toddlerz into the show!
Rappers that where diapers and suck on diamond encrusted soothers!
They also make art!
pretty funny video with the awkwardness of the whole thing. I like your sell sheet it is really well done and gives a clear view of the story. Hope you make it to the next round.
Congratulations on making it to the Top 55 and good luck on making it to the Top 15!! This is a great idea! Well done
This video definitely caught my attention! Congratulations on making it to the Top 55 and best of luck making it to the Top 15!!
Congratulations on making it to the top 55. Your hype video and sell sheet were good. Overall, well done. Good luck on making it to the top 15.
Sorry but I don't get....
liked where you went with the seductiveness
"This one caught my eye out of pure chance and I am super happy that it did! Loved the effort you guys are putting into this! The writing is nice and I can't wait to see what unfolds in the voting process."
Congratulations on making it to the Top 55 and I good lucking on making it to the Top 15!! I laughed so hard. Wicked and original
this is super funny! I was really entertained and your concept was hilarious. It was very original and refreshing. good luck in the coming competition.
Oh myyyy scintillating! I think I've seen this video a few times around 3:30am after the shows get really bad. I'm not worried about this show being one of those ones on at 3am, I'm thinkin' more Top 15 if you catch my drift... ehh... ehhh
Congratulations on making it to the Top 55 and I good lucking on making it to the Top 15!! You guys know how to entertain..
Good luck guys - seems like an interesting premise with series potential. The video certainly took "hype" to a new level. I'm just a little worried that it didn't sell the series to viewers enough - it felt like it dancred around rather than pitching it directly.
Looks like you enjoyed making this video I'm sorry to say I didn't enjoy watching it lacked substance & I found it a little creepy watching scantily clad people gyrate & flex muscles in front of the camera Can't see where you go with this
Appreciate the effort, saw two kinds of humour in the top 55, what I like and what I don’t. I hope I will see less silly and no beeps from the top 15.
It's kind of funny but I don't think it got the show's plot or whatever across. I guess I'd like to have seen more of the main dudes.
That was really damn funny. You even got the lighting right for that parody. I love Mike's "This is disrespectful" series and the shush'ing him to end the argument. Priceless. This video got big laughs out of me. Where did you get that giant roll of chicken wire? That's like a $200 prop for the bit.
Paul is an amazing man who owns his own car! And we love buying and building props!
Struck me as a little odd but entertaining nevertheless. The concept is interesting and hopefully will attract some viewers. Not sure it was offensive to women and minorities.
this weeks video was really funny! out of all the videos I have watched so far it is one of the most entertaining and funny. I am not sure if it hyped up your show enough though. The sell sheet was well done.
I can't say I really get this week's video. I kind of thought it was all over the place. But it certainly got my attention which I suppose is the whole point. Good luck in the competition.
Congrats on top 55
i love it!!1
congrats on top 55! I like this concept bad records is funny, lots of humorous moments and I enjoyed watching it. I am a big self help fan myself but I think this show has great potential and best of luck to all future endeavours. Canadian comedy talent coming together is really fun to see!
Thanks Elisha! This is really fun to make!
I hate to say it but I was more uncomfortable than amused. Good choice in using both males and females to sell the video, though. I did like the extra charges at the end of the video too. Good luck!
I was confused for a little bit, but I like what you did! Congrats on the top 55 guys, keep it up and I wish you luck in the next round of voting!
Sure didn't see where they were heading with this but it sure got my attention - good work. Not sure that it would hang together as a show, though.
I so appreciate the shout-out to my favourite sex-line info-mercial "pick up the phone..." Very funny and the side-bar conversation is brilliant. First time I've noticed this group so I'll be checking out your other vids - one of the best challenges of week 5!
Thanks Lindsay!
Bad Records. Good show, what a conundrum! Congratulations on making it to the Top 55 and I good lucking on making it to the Top 15!!
Always hard to tell from the short clip but I get what your show would be about. I agree with other comments that I wasn't sure at first if i liked it but it got better. good luck this week.
Cathy - are you pasting the exact same phrases on everyone's page? Sorry to bust you, it just made me laugh.
Wow! I didn't see that coming! Great work, very funny. It was funny in a really quite odd sorta of way. It was well acted and put together, but man, someone has a wild sense of humor to come up with that. Keep it crazy guys!
I think most people are underestimating the layers of jokes happening in your videos. I like how you're pandering to your audience while simultaneously mocking the concept of selling to the media. I hope people are phoning into the hotline.
It isn't my favourite. There are better videos out there but it is sort of funny nevertheless.
I was skeptical, but I've warmed to the idea upon seeing a man in diaper. With a soother. Weird, haha.
Toddlerz is for real! #iwantmybottle #whaaa!
Bad Records - please take a look at this photo of the Little Ceasars Mascot and tell me it doesn't resemble somebody you know. It's uncanny. http://www.pizzakit.ca/fundraising-products
HAHAHA, OK Kyle, you got us. Shit, that's funny...
this video was hilarious!! I didn't like the beginning and I was a bit disappointed at first but then it turned super awesome and funny. Well done! I laughed out loud.
Thanks for the laugh Lisa-Marie. It's a fine line between clever and offensively bad. We try to walk that line.
This video was distracting. There were so many sexy people on it so I forgot to write down the number. I'm not a journalist by the way.
Katie, you just won the best comment! If we had prizes you would win it. So just know that for this week you are #1 in our hearts!
I really enjoyed the other videos by these guys, but I feel that this week's video kind of falls short. The idea is not bad, and I like the whole 'journalist call us' line, but somehow the whole thing just barely misses the mark for me. Good job on the whole though!
You got that right! It's a good video! I tend to enjoy music every now and then, and having experience in the world of production, I totally get that this is definitely close to how things are really like. It's kind of crazy.
People always try to think about the craziest thing they can do. I love it when people have no filters for their ideas. 90's Sex chat line - GREAT IDEA...
I agree with Taylor B. and Alex C's comments. As well, I did not feel you hyped your show concept very well but rather, went for the shock value of sex appeal. Instead of calling on journalists to call you, what if you called them?
YES! So true. I was one of the creators of this video and can tell you that shock/sex is exactly what we were going for. As a former journalist, it was my opinion that doing something different was more likely to get us attention then something informative. And then we hung the jury.
Great hype video and congratulations on making the top 55. Can't wait to see what you have planned for your future productions after you make the top 15. Good luck!
thanks Georg, we are hammering away at the next script as we speak. We've all quit our day jobs and now have lots of time to devote to this.
Taylor B. said it best, before I hit the 45 second mark I was wondering if this was a comedy or a porn intro. The actors you have cast for the two "off camera" guys really look the part though.
By look the part, you mean a clueless dumdum? that's what I was going for anyway, which basically means putting on a zebra jacket and acting like myself. Thanks for watchin!
Ok... I'm glad I watched this all the way through, because it took you 45 seconds to make any kind of joke (A man in a diaper, unfortunately... which isn't much of a joke) and if you guys are going for the whole "Tim and Eric" vibe, you need to be much more rapid fire than that. The last half of the video intrigues me, though. Good job. Not great, but good.
For the record we aren't fans of Tim and Eric, but were trying to delve into our story world (in this case character conflict) while at the same time creating something that fits into the comedy coup mould of #different . . . Thanks for the comment Taylor!
This was pretty funny
Intial sound was iffy but cleared up right away. Guy in the diaper was hilarious. The explanation for why he was wearing was even better. Your videos get better and better.
I'm glad you liked toddlerz. It's kind of out there, but it's a take on how extreme people are getting to show stand out from the pack. Like wearing a meat dress....
Hahaha!! Now I know why you were looking for a chain link fence !! You guys are perfectly crazy!! Talk about thinking "outside of the box" -or fence -or cage. Each video is crazier that the one before. All of your hard work is paying off!!
Hahaha this was a great idea. I like the twist on using sex to sell. Unlike other commentators, I like that you still showcased your humour instead of pure information. I would be much more likely to share this on social media to hype it up than some of these other projects hype videos. I do agree the sell sheet could be more eye-catching though.
We are better at humour then information. That can be awkward at the bank, but usually works out in the end.
when I first started watching this I was disappointed that you were using sexuality to get hype..... but then it panned out and got awesome! I like all the behind the scenes shots and it was very entertaining. well done! sell sheet is not as eye catching as it could have been.
Hi, I'm glad you got the joke that it was turning sex sells on it's head. the actors were really amazing and I can't believe how hype our hype man was. He looked at the script ten minutes before we shot!
Got to agree with JP on this, laughing is key for marketing imho. I would change it slightly though I don't know how to do it. For online marketing to really take hold it needs to be something I want to e-mail to friends for one reason or another. I can't clutter in boxes with this video, the earlier one with the vocalist though, if your market is supposed to watch for laughs and music discovery that one is right on.
Totally agree...hence the sex line video send up!
FINALLY a video that makes me laugh and doesn't make 90 seconds feel like an hour. I would watch this show!
Pretty funny video, however I don’t see how this really hyped the show idea, it was just a sketch.
Hudson, yah it was mainly sketch, the idea was to hammer home some hype, and let the press find us... Thanks for watching.
hahaha great job this is a really funny video, however if I'm gonna be stickler the information might have been sacrificed but was it worth it? For me yes got a good chuckle. Toddlerz--stick it to the man--gold!
Well done. Angles and sound come out smooth like a baby's bottom or rapper in diapers.
That was pretty funny. Made me laugh!!!!
On behalf of the 1-976 generation, thank you for this one!
A nice take on how sex sells and I definitely liked the twist part way through. My only minor criticism would be that I think the opening could have been tightened, but small complaint.
Those body builders were pretty tight!
Dude sounded alot like flava flaaaaave!
Funny stuff!
A
Some lines are funny but think the concept would fade quickly.
Haha, at first I was thinking along the lines of seriously? what is this? but then at about 50 seconds in or so it just became hilarious. Initially I was going to ask you guys if you were actually considering this as an appropriate video for the media, but then you flipped it around and made it work. Great work, I'm slightly curious as to who will answer if I call that number.
We were trying to recreate the 90's television experience.
I had the same experience. I thought it was terrible at first, but that was the joke. Great work guys.
I know a lot of people from the world of body building and pro wrestling! I am blessed to be involved in such awesome communities. #begentlemen
ssshh It's a good video!!! nicely done, I think it's your best one yet, can't wait to see your next one now!! Hope to tune into your Virtual Reality Press Conference Thursday night, good luck and HYPE IT UP
confused. but thats a good thing!
At first I'm like, what the hell is this? And then I'm like, I just watched this ten times. I love the way the Hype Man is glaring at Mike right before the break.
My fiancé, Mike wrote a female body builder into the script as his wife. Then he got another body builder to do this hot and sexy video. Think it's time to start lifting weights?
Oh Jeez...This is sassy and silly. That's right up my alley! I "love the sizzle"
Your sell sheet is looking good too.

There are so many good looking people in this video and me and Paul!
Yeah Buddy! Yeah Buddy!
So many sexy people!!! I want to call!
That was great.
That was pretty good. I like the chat line nostalgia.
loved the aspect ratio shift! haha! Terrible and funny!
Honestly... this is a hilarious video. That guy was right. It's a good video. It made me want to go back and watch the ones I've missed. Good job.
