Your hot sauce is friggin wicked on bologna.
I don't have to go to out the window to the gym and the other day of any kind to me I love it when so you can get a job at a time time when the sun is out of a new sudden I have to be a able to do with a new song is the so much fun with the same time and I have to no one is going to to be a able good for to the long run the risk ballot in a statement from the start and It will be the best way to the point game is the best most important thing to say that you can get a the best
I'd try the hot sauce. Fun effects.
The show looks good, the hot sauce stuff was just ok. You guys have a great team and premise to see this through. Good Luck.
The hot sauce bit was funny but it didn't really hype the show for me. I would have liked to have seen more of what the show is like. Good luck in the next round.
Great Work! Funny concept and definitely lots of potential! Keep up the great work:) Very Creative!
Top 55 is a great accomplishment! East coast comedy at its best! So looking forward to seeing the Top 15 list. Keep your dream of making it to big TV rolling! Hot! Hot! Hot!
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
Haha amazing stuff guys. I like all the characters, perfectly cast if you ask me. I'm looking forward to seeing more of this project for sure, very unique to all the other projects.
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.
Hot sauce is awesome. Not sure it's awesome with apples :) how's the weather on the east coast?? Snowing here. Hoping it will be good clean comedy. It's really hard to find clean comedy now a days.
It's not even a little bit clean.
No filter love it! You guys don't slow down for anyone and that's great. Sell sheet caught my eye and kept me reading but I'm not press so who knows? Certainly not me!
I remember reading John Doyle's list and seeing you guys on it while back. I love your style and I love hot sauce. I love that you put the focus of the video on the hot sauce because it was comedy gold. GOLD.
Okay well I would definitely pick the butter sandwich over mayonnaise any day. Anyway, I love the name of your hot sauce and hope you keep selling that saucy sauce all over the world and not just to CBCers. Good luck in the top fifteen!!!
I choose butter sandwich over mayonnaise sandwich. Mayonnaise has always grossed me out a little bit. Funny vid guys! Good luck with the top 15!
Your video doesn't make any sense to me either Dave R. Not sure how this qualifies as week #5 Hype It, but to each his own I always say. Nonetheless, good luck tonight.
Ha really funny video, Im lovin the sauce you are laying down
This video makes no sense.
Way to go on your comedy coup efforts to date. You have succeeded in making it to the top 55 and that is something to be proud of. Already the competition is getting tough as the quality of the competitors gets refined. Best wishes for making it to the next level.
I'm not really a condiments fan, sorry. Congrats on getting this far, the competition sure is tight, all the best as you shoot for the Top 15 tonight. GL.
If you are receiving this comment then you are one of my top 15 favorites in this comedycoup.cbc.ca contest and you are congratulated for making the top 55 and doing a really good job on all the missions to date. That has been a lot of work so congratulations on your efforts!
My top 15 in no particular order are:
Geoff and the Ninja, The Hill, How to do Everything Gooder, The Lease, Warf Rats, Dear Stella, Goons, Dope Ass World, North of Normal, Just passing through, The Batchelors, Buddy guys, The Dangers of Online Dating, Nanny Walbourne, Heir Heads.

omg mayonnaise sandwich thats so disgusting haha and yet funny of course i worry about the language that might be an issue sometimes but you make me wanna watch your youtuvbe show and see what all the fuss is about great job guys!
I just ate a bog scoff I had a butter sandwich with Beefaroni instead of hot sauce only because I have the shits and don't want my arse to burn any more than it already does.
As someone at this very moment snacking on my own scoff, sadly without any Grammie Gallant's Blazin' Blend, I have to say my favourite part was the yummy looking marble cheese sticks. I have some dill pickles I can trade? Seriously though, great video, very tongue-in-cheek.
This makes me hungry. I like hot sauce and I like you guys. This comedy gives me something to chew on and I enjoy the silly jokes once I ruminate a little and they pass through my mind! I don't know if this is ready for prime time though. Good luck anyway.
i like more of you guys earlier week project, i think that you have great potential and that you are able to really make us laugh. though i was not to hype about this one i have to say. go crazy guy i know you can do it
Try to keep up the funny, guys. This was a good premise usually delivered in a more promising fashion. I am looking forward to more of this in the future but I would like to see if it can evolve. Good luck moving on in the competition.
I just get the hot sauce - what in the world does it have to do with anything. It is boring. you guys are very talented and can come up with something more creative. Good luck advancing.
I really like this concept. Its strong, and unique. It would also be a snappy, sassy show I'm sure, that would keep audiences entertained. Good luck moving forward!
felt this weeks submission was pretty weak. could have put some effort into selling the show. The sound was terrible and it was a simple shoot. Seems like you guys gave up on moving forward so used the opportunity to make a commercial for something else.
Wow your own hot sauce ready to go and bottled. It looked real good and it kinda made me hungry just looking at that feast. Seriously though except for the part where you said hype your video I'm not sure how this was going to get you through the challenge.
I don't get how this is in anyway related to the week three video brief. You need to find away of being funny whilst still displaying all aspects of your videos.
Absolutely love your show, guys. I watched all the episodes on YouTube and was so sad when I finished. The love I feel cuts me inside, because I'm in competition with you (I'm on team Heir Heads), but my hope is that you guys get picked up by a network like Showcase or something, so that you won't have to tame the awesome cuss-ridden humour of your show. And then we win this here thing and everybody wins. That's the world I wanna live in.
This week's mission was a definite miss for me. It was a great promotion for your hot sauce, I guess, but that was all you seemed to be selling. I originally liked the concept for the show, I thought it had potential even though it didn't seem to be super original. Over the weeks you've lost me to some other projects, sorry! All the best to you in your future, you clearly love what you're doing.
I really don’t understand how this had anything to do with a) the show and b) the challenge. You guys did not explain why we should be watching your show and why it is unique. I feel like you just didn’t put any creative thought into this, not trying to be harsh but –just wanting to sell hot sauce? The audio was pretty brutal so when I started the vid my speakers screeched at me The only thing I like about it was that it had yummy looking food in it which made me hungry. As stupid as it sounds its why I clicked on it in the first place.
Anyone who promotes HOT SAUCE are top dogs in my list of the food chain. This show can be and is more than a comedy condiment including a view on how making fun of food can "pin" a humorless person's bland eating habits on the personalty they portray. Keep on saucing it up!
this video is okay but i just cannot get past the fact that this is already a successful web series. i think this contest should be about helpign up-and-coming talent get discovered, not helpign established acts get REdiscovered. thats just my opinion. im sorry,im out.
I think you guys have a natural sensibility of East Coast humor. I think I know a few people who would love to try your Hot Sauce back home. I do agree with some of the comments below, "what is the story" and "where are you going with this?" Is there a story or is this Seinfeld selling Hot Sauce. Cheers!
Hope you guys are getting lots of VOTES, and can't wait to see your week 6 entry, good luck
Haha amazing stuff guys. I like all the characters, perfectly cast if you ask me. I'm looking forward to seeing more of this project for sure, very unique to all the other projects. The posters are amazing too, really gives us a good glimpse of what to expect! Just wondering how far this story can go, definitely something to look forward!!
It was funny but not clear on connection to mission.
I couldn't really connect to this video. I have a hard time imagining what an actual episode would look like.
Is the blow up doll a part of every episode? Not sure the story behind that. Shall I take it every episode will be an add for your hot sauce. While I saw some fun here, I'm still shakin' my head a little
As a former PEIer who has moved to the big city I have been following your project. I have ordered some of your hot sauce but I am wondering how much to use e.g. on one Wonder Bread sandwich how many tablespoons would you recommend for a first time user?
Funny hype concept! Pretty Tim and Eric in its food focus. I would have like to have seen the video connect more to the show's premise though. Good luck!
Congratulations on making it to the top 55! That was no easy feat since there are a lot of great projects/teams out there. Good luck in earning yourself a spot in the top 15!
Good vid fellas! Supporting the east coast comedy! Frig yeah!
It's a solid idea to have food-based products associated to your project. I liked the whole provide-us-with-a-meal angle. If only we could bridge time and food could come out of our computer screen, that would be hype. Like, serious hype. Great work guys!
Here are my picks for the top 15, no particular order:
Human Town
Heir Heads
Depflies
Wharf Rats
Just Passing Through
Goons
Blackwater Music
Randy Justice
The Lease
Grahm Clark: Wilderness Man
Roll for Damage
Toronto After Dark
Killing It
Scratch Tracks
Dope Ass World
You like the boys don't ya!
Great job again guys. Love just passing through, I think this was your funniest contest entry yet. It's risky dodging challenges with comedy but it's making for some of the best videos on the site.
I think dodging the challenges is the best strategy, at least if you want fans (don't know what the judges think). The challenges give us (the fans) not much of what we really need to make good choices.
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.
omgomgomg i really really want to eat some alberta bound hot sauce. super random guys. funny. congratulations on making the top 55 and good luck on the sweet 15!
I've been a fan since I first saw the show last year. I've seen the whole show and pogey beach, can't wait for maritimers in space. How don't you think the handy clam will do with CBC censors? Where can I get me some of that delicious hot sauce?
Do you do catering?
You are giving us ideas....
Now how hot really is that hot sauce? Looks damn tasty, send me a bottle and I'll give you one vote...
You can pick up a bottle at the PriceMart on the corner of university and allan
I really liked your thumbnail for this mission. The video wasn't as funny to me as the others have been and the hypeit and sell factor to the media didn't quite come through for me. However, you seem like a funny bunch with a good idea so best of luck this week!
Thanks Alisa! We appreciate the feedback, and are happy you enjoyed our food styling
I thought this week's video was a hype in order to sell the project to the media. Not to sell a product to consumers. Don' t get the connection! But it was a bit funny!
Thanks for the feedback Sharleen, and thanks for watching the vid. As newsworthy as it is that the prospective creators of a prospective show would tout the newsworthiness of their own prospective product, we thought it was kind of cool that we had created a show that actually inspired something as randomly delicious as a real hot sauce named after it. People are clearly divided on this and we respect your opinion....though trying the sauce might sway you
Can I ask what did I just watch? This didn't tell me anything whatsoever about your concept. I took away that you are a creative group, but it would be great if you were creative and followed the guidelines given in the competition.
thanks for the feedback Angusina. We think a show that exists, has good reviews, and inspires a delicious hot sauce is "hype-worthy". If you would like to know more about the show, I encourage you to check out our previous videos/key art/sell sheet here, or the 7 full-length sitcom episodes we made that are available on Youtube now (www.justpassingthrough.ca). I think you'll find that people seem to like them, and you might too. If you don't, I encourage you to at least give our delectable hot sauce a try. We promise it will tantalize your taste buds
You gotta put some lemon or lime juice on your apples to keep them from going brown. plus it will go really well with your new hot sauce. You really need to launch your own hot sauce brand when you get big!
Great apple preservation tips Kate! Thanks. But the hot sauce is real. It exists now and is for sale at maritimemadness.com
I'm surprised there aren't more entries with products like hot sauce to sell. Seems like a missed opportunity for a marketing company to promote a show only to sell a product. I really want some hot sauce now.
Thanks Chris, we are following the "Chuck"/Subway model
Hope to see your and your hot sauce advance. Best cooking show out there, LOL!
Thanks Sue. It's a totally versatile sauce that can occupy any number of positions in the flavor profiles of a wide variety of dishes
hahahahaha wieners....
that's what we said! Thanks Jennifer
I love your show and hope you guys make it to #1!
Thanks for the support Melina! We love our fans
What a sweet coincidence already! I was hoping you guys would come out with a hot sauce! What's it inspired by? What are the flavour notes? Any funny anecdotes relating to it's development? I bet there were!!! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK DUDES.
Thanks so much Stefan! We will post a detailed entry about the sauce soon so stay tuned!
Phenomenal job! Of all the groups I've watched for this week, you are the only one who fulfilled the hot sauce requirements of this challenge. Honestly, your own hot sauce! I was feeling pretty confident in my project until I saw this video and realized that we're not even close to having our own hot sauce. Seeing as how the programmers are looking for the show with the best hot sauce to give 500K, I really don't see any way you guys can lose.
Brilliant Jason! They play our children, 30 years in the future, and need to earn 1 million in their own hot sauce sales to inherit the Just Passing Through hot sauce billions
Heir Heads could still be rewritten so that its about two heirs to a hot sauce throne.
Thanks Taylor. That is very gracious of you! Heir Heads is one of our fav comedycoup projects, so we're pretty confident you guys will have your own sauce before long
really cool sell sheet. Unique ideas and a different approach from ive already seen. but im interested in seeing whats next. best of luck!
Thanks for the comment Taylor! Glad to hear you liked the sell sheet. Grammie Gallant was happy about it too.
My sauce is all hot for you guys. Wish I could get me a bottle of sauce to just pass through my digestive system. Good luck to you guys!
Thanks Jacob! You are one saucy fellow that is for sauce, I mean for sure.
Your sell sheet is amazing! Not really keen on your hot sauce idea for this weeks challenge. I thought your show was about guys moving to Alberta to find work so I am not convinced that they would have a certified kitchen to use to make the sauce, unless they were living with mom. Anyway your overall idea seems fun! Good luck!
Thanks for your comment, Cyprus. You're right, it may be difficult for Terry and Parnell to find a certified kitchen to make the sauce. Is that an offer? I'm sure Terry and Parnell would love to crash with your Mom.
good job on this weeks challenge. Congratulations on making it this far and I look forward to seeing more. keep on going!
Thanks for your comment, Wendy M!
Next episode could be titled "On the sauce"
Done and done.
Great job guys and congratulations on making it to week 5, looking forward to seeing what week 6 brings. Best of luck
Thanks for the comment Kurtis!
hot sauce, hot sauce, hot sauce, hot sauce, hot sauce, hot sauce, hot sauce, hot sauce. Spaghetti Vote Wharf Rats.
Thanks Robbie. Wharf Rats is an awesome project from 3 of our favorite people, so it's great that you took the time to drop by our page to remind everyone to vote for you
this video was really well done. It was entertaining and funny. The sell sheet was really good. The only thing is I am not getting the hype theme here. Good luck.
thanks justine! you are not alone in not getting the hype theme, but we're glad you were entertained
I have no idea what I just watched. Part of me likes that, but another part of me thinks that this was a missed opportunity to actually hype up your show... WHICH PART IS RIGHT? STAY TUNED NEXT WEEK.
Thanks for the feedback Ryan. We're glad part of you liked it
Butter & hot sauce sandwiches? Hmmm....I'm not convinced, haha.
I LOVED the web series...watched them all several times. But I'm disappointed in these videos (so sorry). Where's Terry?????? You need the 'funny'.
Don't be sorry Shea. We're glad you liked the show.
I should have known the hot sauce was one of many small steps to television domination. I laughed my arse off while wishing I had a nice butter and hot sauce sammich to munch on.
Thanks Dylan. It truly is a small but important step, or at least that's what we keep telling ourselves
This is the best hot sauce around. I won't ever buy any other hot sauce. The show is not bad but the hot sauce is awesome. Im glad they finally got around to simply telling us more about the hot sauce and less about the show.
All we are saaaying, is give sauce a chance (ours I mean). Thanks Jason
Does the sauce come with bread?
Thanks for your comment, Jason. We are glad you appreciated the hot sauce focus of our hype video. It appears that you are in the minority in that regard. For your positive hot sauce comment you win a free bottle of hot sauce. Please contact Robbie Moses for more details.
Hope you guys have a great day with the polls, just sent you a bunch of my votes your way
Thanks Sheldon! Smoke Cock is a generous man indeed. Fruit Eyes is going to be jealous when you are declared the Super Fan
15 comments for a couple more votes is friggin tough but I'll give it a shot. This was funny but I nearly shit in my shoes with the audio. Theres strange mainlanders you can get for that sort of thing.
Thanks Eric! You are one dedicated mainlander. If only the bridge wasn't so friggin' expensive. My 9 month old son was getting his feet wet in the audio department. Never too early to get them started.
I think you might have missed the mark on this weeks challenge. Is the show about hot sauce? I'm not sure what you were trying to promote other than the hot sauce. I thought I'd see more about the show, not the hot sauce :S
Hi Karen, thanks for your comment. The show isn't specifically about hot sauce but we do have a hot sauce. The characters in the show could be hot sauce fans and now that I think about it, they probably do enjoy hot sauce a lot!
You guys are funny and your show has great potential but I feel you failed this week's challenge. It was a great opportunity for you to sell yourselves and your show. Instead, you chose to sell hot sauce. Then when the fans express confusion you tell them to go to youtube and/or your website. I'm pretty sure the contest is on the comedycoup website......just saying.
Hi Jeremy....I am aware that you are encouraged to use social media to promote your team, but the Hype It video was a specific challenge requested by ComedyCoup to be uploaded to their website and I feel it is unfair of you to send people all over the place to find the info that should have been in your week 5 video on this website......just my personal opinion.
Hi Sherril, thanks for your comment. I hate to disagree but I think the contest is all over the word wide internet. We are encouraged to use social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, Youtubes, Myspace and also include links to personal websites. You can also find the links on our main page.
the big scoff look delicious!! I wish I were in PEI to try some for your event! I just do not get how it goes with the hype it theme.
Well Shelley, you are in luck! Our event is virtual, so join us on facebook tomorrow for the chance to win a bottle of our delectable moonshine sauce. Sauce Hype is Show Hype. Show Hype is Sauce Hype. Or that's what we like to say down here at the sauce plant. If you're mostly interested in the show, and still kind of on the fence about the sauce, check out some full length episodes and press here: www.justpassingthrough.ca
Well now I just want hot sauce dammit. I love the bizarre genius that goes into making this your hype video. Brilliant. I wanna see more.
Thanks Brian! It's the same bizarre genius that goes into the making of every bottle of our delicious and totally addictive sauce. Did we mention it's micro-brewed and oh so reasonably priced?
Great use of hotsauce to sell the show. The concept is solid and I am curious to see what you do with a budget - good luck!
Thanks Sean. The sauce sells the show/The show sells the sauce. It's a virtuous circle of "sauccess". If you'd like to see what we do with a budget--albeit a much smaller one---check out our seven episodes at www.justpassingthrough.ca
this weeks video was really funny! I love the big scoff hahaha very funny. I think the PEI jokes were a little lost on my end but it was funny none the less. I want some hot sauce!!
Thanks Ron! Come on our Facebook event tomorrow because we're gonna be giving away some sauce! Robbie Moses who plays Parnell was heavily involved in the tasting to get the right Grammie Gallant flavour. https://www.facebook.com/events/1537707103108085/?ref_newsfeed_story_type=regular
It is my understanding that fans will decide who moves ahead in this competition. I will check out your show on youtube now.
Thanks for giving our show a chance Bernie. Much appreciated. Come on out to our facebook event tomorrow and you might win the opportunity ti give our sauce a chance too! https://www.facebook.com/events/1537707103108085/?ref_newsfeed_story_type=regular
Thanks Bernie! Hope ya like 'er
I was happy to see that you tamed it down this week. The x-rated stuff in some of the past was offensive. I like your idea and think it could be so funny with a look into different places between PEI and Alberta. Good luck.
Thanks Sharon! If you were offended by anything it was probably the fault of Robbie Moses(the man describing the big scoff)who generally has a lot of filthy ideas.
Always hard to tell from the short clip what your show would be about. Not sure the humour always comes through when there is swearing again not sure what this was trying to show.
Hi Cathy, I think the delicious hot sauce was clouding your judgement about the number of cuss words. We did say the "s" word at the end once but it was powerfully spoken.
There's a whole season on youtube! Check it out!
Brilliant! Can you publish a Just Passing Through Hot Sauce Cookbook? Unique, very funny and expertly executed.
Thanks Grace, keep your eyes peeled for "We Came, We Sauced, We Conquered: The Story of the Making of Grammie Gallant's Blazin' Blend". We're on Chapter 1, and are shopping it to publishers.
Thanks Grace! The cookbook is a great idea. Robbie Moses(who plays the character Parnell with the thick moustache and gym pants) is our hot sauce man. I'll get him on it!
I think the point of this week's mission was a little lost in this video. You should be able to come away from the video with what the show is about, but unfortunately, you didn't accomplish that. Your sell sheet also doesn't really convey too much either...
Thanks for the feedback Elaine. I feel that you would feel differently if you just tried the sauce. What you are feeling now is that our video was inadequate. But with some sauce, I feel that you would feel a different feeling--the feeling of your taste buds having the time of their lives
Hi Elaine. Thanks for your comment. We did hype the hot sauce and I think we were the only show that chose to focus specifically on their hot sauce - which sets us apart in that regard. For the next mission we promise to talk less about the hot sauce.
There's a whole season on the youtubes. Check it out!
I see the play you're going for here: "Hey! in case you hadn't figured it out, we already HAVE a season of a show!"
Thanks for catching on Caleb! If I hadn't exhausted my personal supply of our delicious sauce, I would send you a bottle right now
Hi Caleb. Thanks for your comment. Well, wouldn't you know it but we do have 7 full length episodes of the series up at www.justpassingthrough.ca!
Uhhhh... I agree with the last few comments. This video did not tell me anything about your show. Anyone could have made that video in 5 minutes with $5 of groceries sitting on a table. Quite weak.
Hey Dirt, thanks for the feedback. When you are shopping at Metro like us that is over $20 dollars of groceries, not including sauce manufacturing costs. Would love to hear where you shop or what flyers you're using. We're always on the prowl for a bargain. Oh yeah, and we made a whole season of the show too. So check that out at www.justpassingthrough.ca or on youtube if you want a few good laughs
I am not sure I get this. By just watching this video I can't make out what you are trying to bring across about your mission. Maybe the passing through hot sauce and that's it! :) I think you guys had a good complicity though. Best of luck for you guys!
Thanks Martine! If you are interested in checking out the show, go to www.justpassingthrough.ca. If you are primarily interested in hot sauce, go to www.maritimemadness.com
This didn't tell me anything about the show but the hot sauce gag and butter sandwich were funny. Doesn't really work as a press video but best of luck.
Thanks for the comment Diana. No love for the mayonnaise sandwich? We are hoping that the people who work in the press are big fans of hot sauce.
This video didn't tell me anything about your show, but it made me laugh a lot. Best of luck with the voting this week.
Thanks Kayla! If you are curious about the show you can watch the whole friggin' thing at www.justpassingthrough.ca
A butter sandwich, apple slices, two types of potato chips, wieners, and a mayonnaise sandwich? You guys certainly like your hot sauce!
Thanks for your comment, Mike. Yes, we are big into the hot sauce. It really takes a mayonnaise sandwich from an 8 out of 10 to a 9 out of 10!
Well I have to admit there was no sex involved in this one, but where was the idea for your show? I know you mentioned how we can watch it on line but doesn't this defeat the purpose. If your show is already out there maybe you should give another group a chance to get seen. Sorry.
Thanks for your comment, Kelley. The sex was much more subliminal in this video and much less random than previous videos. When we made the first season of our show for the internet we didn't have the budget to buy ourselves Lamborghinis. And we invested very heavily in our hot sauce manufacturing plant and need to move a lot of sauce to break even - hopefully a CBC 1/2 hour special will make the Lamborghinis and break even on the hot sauce a reality.
Firstly I would like to congratulate all the teams that have made it to the Top 50 that is really not any small feat at all.
Thanks Chris!
This is my first time watching one of your videos. As a first timer, I didn't have any idea of what your show is about. Is it about Hot sauce? A bit of a miss here on this weeks challenge.
Hi Tammy. Thanks for your comment. This video was very much about hyping our Just Passing Through hot sauce. To get a better idea about the show I would check out the synopsis on our page, the teaser video from week 1, or go to www.justpassingthrough.ca and watch 7 episodes.
Great use of the 'hot sauce' for the week's challenge! Unique, funny, and very well done. Good hyping, guys!
Thanks Ian!
I watched the show on Youtube and loved it. It always makes me laugh out loud. All I can think about now is hot sauce... mmmmm hot sauce on stuff
Thanks Katie! Head to our Just Passing Through event page tomorrow night and you could win a bottle of it! It goes great on anything in your fridge - our promise to you.
Funny gag about the hot sauce! I don't really know what your show is about, but the video was funny enough to keep attention on you.
Thanks Scott! The show is about the two Maritimers on the hot sauce bottle going to Alberta and getting stuck in Toronto. You can watch the first season of the series at www.justpassingthrough.ca
Not quite understanding the hot sauce gag. I quite enjoy it on French fries. I think I missed what your concept was all about, all I heard was talk about hot sauce, unless you are a show that is about hot sauce?
Thanks for the comment, Beth. Our question to you would be - would you really give $500,000 to a show that doesn't have a hot sauce yet? Please try hot sauce on other food items. You will be surprised how good they taste on some celery.
I wish I had more of an idea what you'd use the $500 000 to further.
Hi Laura thanks for your comment. We would further a 1/2 comedy special on CBC with the $500,000. Hopefully some money would be left over for us to buy sports cars and recoup some of the significant investment we have made in our hot sauce manufacturing plant.
The fact that you did the whole video geared around hot sauce got my attention. Butter sandwich and apples with hot sauce awesome, Keep the tasteful clips coming our way. Good luck in the weeks to come.
Thanks Tricia! Keep enjoying the sauce!
The hot sauce failed to tell me anything about this show. Too bad. Thought I was going to learn what I might expect if you won.
Hi Kathy thanks for your comment. If we win we would go on to produce a 1/2 comedy special that will air on CBC! If you want to know what the show is about you can read the synopsis, our teaser video or check out our episodes at www.justpassingthrough.ca
There are some videos this week that are trying to hard, and others that don't seem to be trying at all. The common mistake I've seen with most of them is that the teams seem to have given up on trying to build a new audience, and are relying on the ones they've already amassed. This is one such instance of that. In order to gain more votes, it's required that we rate and comment on these videos, meaning you'll likely get new viewers who may become potential voters. I've never seen one of your videos before, and I have no idea what your show is about.
Hi Jas, thanks for your comment. Someone woke up on the wrong sauce of the bed. Just joking. If you are curious about Just Passing Through you can find our synopsis, our teaser video or go to www.justpassingthrough.ca to get a better idea of the sauce. I highly recommend the mayonnaise sandwich with a little JPT sauce dripped on one slice of bread.
I think this week's challenge was kind of a miss here. I enjoyed your past videos a lot more than this one. It's a little low to try and sell us your hot sauce when that has nothing to do with this competition. There are a lot of talented people in this competition trying to make it in this business, and this is all they are doing and putting 100% into it. You basically said you wanted to win this to promote your hot sauce- not cool. Good luck next week.
Hi Kurtis, thanks for your comment. You are right, there are a lot of talented people in this competition. We like a lot of the other projects and think they would make great TV shows. Our show is not on TV either and contrary to widespread opinion, you can't afford a Lamborghini or even an '87 Mercury Topaz off internet views unless you are Epic Meal Time popular.
I'm pretty sure that was a joke.
Hey guys! You clearly are funny, that's why your in the Top 55, but this video lacked a little bit about what this video challenge was about. I wanted to hear more about your show, not so much hot sauce. Judging by the comments a lot of people wanted more from you guys this week, but loved your previous videos. Ah well, live and learn, right? I wish you better luck in the next round!
Thanks Julia. I saucespect you might learn everything you want to know about our show by checking out our episodes and press over at www.justpassingthrough.ca. Trust us. It's way more fun and hype-worthy than watching us tell you about it, and almost as hype-worthy as our sauce.
Thanks for the comment, Julia. Judging how much hot sauce to include in a video is a lot like trying to judge how much hot sauce to put on a mayonnaise sandwich for a stranger. Some people like a lot, some people just like a little dab. Next time we'll try to get a better ratio.
You guys are great…and extremely talented! John Doyle is brilliant and has great taste. Maybe you should think about sending him some hot sauce. Sure we'll see you in the top 15. Good Luck!
Thanks Deb! You are right, we should send John Doyle a bottle or two! We owe him big time.
I was a little surprised that so much of the video was spent on your hot sauce. I think this was supposed to be a serious video to tell us more about the show. Good luck in the next round.
Hi Loretta, thanks for your comment. We did go overboard with the hot sauce but that is because we find it so friggin' delicious! Hopefully the media people ask themselves, "How the heck did a show not on TV get a hot sauce? Republic of Doyle and Brent Butt don't even have a hot sauce!"
Hot sause, hot sauce though we were supposed to be hyping the show not the sause. Love the baby shot though. Butter sandwich that's original but no doubt better with hot sauce. Loved most of your earlier stuff but not sure on this weeks.
Thanks for your comment, Rob. We are a pretty passionate bunch when it comes to our hot sauce. Thanks for checking out our missions!
Just hype the shit out of it?! Ahahahahaha! A-mazing! Plus, you guys have your own hot sauce?! Holy smokes batman! You guys are on fire! Team Charlie & Yoni
Thanks Jessica! Charlie & Yoni will have a hot sauce soon enough. If you ever want a bottle of JPT hot sauce to prepare for when you guys make one, just let us know and we'll ship one to you guys!
A zillion dollars is coming your way……..so there is a good comment for you in your comment section. Keep up the terrific hot sauce related work!
Thanks Joanne! A zillion dollars? We could make at least 3 seasons of the show with that much money.
I feel like you completely avoided this weeks mission in explaining your concept to the media. How is the hot sauce meant to relate to your show? I'm sure there is some random explanation for it, but how is someone supposed to pick up on what that explanation is? Very creative video guys, I just didn't think it was the right one for this week.
Thanks for the comment Christina! It is always tough to know when to break out the hot sauce video.
You may have played your hot sauce card a little too early. I feel like you guys should have focused on attracting a new audience to your show, and getting even more media hype, and not just focus on John Doyle and what he said that one time. It's great that you guys already have a head start above all the new projects, but you should take every challenge just as seriously. I would have loved to get a more in-depth behind-the-scenes look at your project and know more about it. Hopefully I'll get to see more of that soon! And I would heavily take advantage of your optional images to give us even more details about the show instead of showing us what we just saw in the video! Good luck on your event Thursday!
Thanks for your comment Samuel.
I'm so confused by this video. It just feels like a big inside joke I'm not in on. I know your show is already online but this video did not make me feel like seeking it out and watching it. I'm not sure playing to your existing fan base rather than pitching to the media or trying to get new fans was a good strategy. On a positive note, the postcard sell sheet was cute.
Thanks for your comment Melanie!
Get it in ya
That's the spirit! Grammie Gallant would approve. Thanks Mei C
Hot saucy
Very saucy. Very hot. Grammie Gallant approved.
Hmmm looks like a real traditional family scoff. Only my family used sandwich spread, not mayo.
Yeah we didn't have mayo when I was a kid either. It was out of style back then, like real butter. So in the 80's it was margarine sandwiches and sandwich spread sandwiches.
Pretty savvy move, boys. Draw us in to your show so you can nail us with the hot sauce.
It's a good hot sauce name too as it will be 'Just Passing Through' my colon!
Ha, thanks for the comment, Dylan. Don't worry, it won't pass through your colon too quick. Grammie Gallant guarantees it.
I really like the post card sell sheet concept! Also, I have never thought about putting hot sauce on a pepperette before, and I think i'd like'er! Gotta get me some of that!
Thanks Boxcar Dan. You will love the hot sauce on the pepperette. Just let us know when you're ready to make the leap and we'll hook you up.
Hahaha...Now that's what I call a great scoff!! I'm a big fan of the Butter Sandwich!! Will have to now try it with a side of the Blazin' Blend!!
Thanks Maria! I hope you and Sheldon sit down to a big scoff of butter sandwiches this weekend!
Where's the potatoes!
Robbie Moses burnt them Matthew.
Hot sauce
hahah love the big scoff!!! I also really want to try your hot sauce!! It may be over my head but I am not getting this whole hot sauce thing and how it related to pitching the idea to the media.
This is probably my favourite video that you guys have submitted so far. It didn't really act as a "media pitch" and it did lean on the maritimes tribalism that seems to run throughout the whole comedy coup, but it made me laugh. Kudos.
Frig boys that's quite the scoff there! Who you trying to impress?
My favourite hot sauce is Sri razza, the one with the rooster on it. I like it on spinach and ricotta empanadas! Mmmmm empanadas! Ariba!
I need to get some a that hot sauce for my Friday night donnie.
"And that is an amazing butter sandwich, people." Classic!!
Friggin amazing boys!!! Keep up the great work!!! You've got all my votes.
I can attest first hand that the 'Just Passing Through' hot sauce is indeed some hot! Goes great with garlic fingers! Good luck!
Hmmm , let me see...hot sauce....connect it to "Just passing through" . Add some toilet paper and....it made me laugh this am...good luck guys.
Tres amusante
Thanks for watching Michael!
Are you guys so cocky that you can waste an entire submission on hot sauce? Wow. Your balls must be bigger than a couple of Russets. I think you'll still make it to the Top 15, but it probably isn't a good idea to phone it in again next week.
Thanks for your comment, Brandon. Are we talking about Russet apples or Russet potatoes?
Many Canadians not from the Maritimes (like me) were already enjoying the JPT episodes long before ComedyCoup, and the media took notice. Instead of re-doing work already done, they opted to give us a few laughs in this week's mission. Cheers boys.
How HOT is that sauce? You guys used 3 bottles of it!!! LMFAO, I also did not see one thing that I would put hot sauce on in this video....so, you know...you're weird...but in an awesome way :) I'm still looking forward to trying it though :)
Alexandra the sauce has a kick to it. Our lips were stinging after we shot the video but it's nothing a little milk won't take care of. Seriously though, try hot sauce on apple slices. It is the bees knees I tells ya!
....the Maritime Mafia better not find out your selling on their turf!
Their "Dirty Burning Water"hot sauce from Moncton hasn't been selling since we moved in with our hot sauce!
Napoleon Bonaparte said "an army marches on its stomach, but acid reflux and duodenal ulcers can really double you over" Good luck with the hot sauce.
Ha, thanks Alan. Those are words of wisdom. I didn't realize it was the duodenal ulcers that did Napoleon in. Makes sense though.
I love Hot Sauce... so... I love you? Yes.
Thanks Daniel! Very happy to hear your enthusiasm for hot sauce - especially when it transfers to us.
this video completely confused me and didn't give any relevant information regarding the show. Sell sheet was nicely done though.
Thanks for your comment, Carly. You would have to admit that you did learn that we have a hot sauce and that John Doyle put us on his Top 10 Canadian TV list of 2013. And you did learn about the elements that make up a big scoff and what a mayonnaise/butter sandwich looks like.
You should check out the episodes they've already done on Youtube. They're hilarious.
Chips n dips. ..atta go boys!
Thanks Derek!
ok... at first I was like, 'no'. But I hung in and I bought in. You had me laughing hard at the plate of food. Way to commit to the idea. Good luck pitching the sauce & the show. I want some sauce. Good luck! #BeABuddyGuy.
Thanks for the comment, Clifford! We're happy to hear you got a kick out of our big scoff. Check us out tomorrow night for our virtual event and you could win some sauce!
You guys are so awesome that even putting GRAMMIE GALLANT BLAZIN BLEND Hot Sauce on anything is too funny! I am just glad yas didn't start pouring it all over each other 's naked chest! Well, actually now that would be BLAZIN HOT!! Great Job guys!!
Thanks Danielle! Crap, we should have poured it all over Robbie Moses and licked it off. Next time.
That was very funny, and informative!
Thanks Parnell's Mom, I mean Linda W!
That was some Awe-Sauce-Omness, the layout of the scoff, quite funny, ya need the link for the hot sauce, I'll post it right here http://www.maritimemadness.com/#!/Grammie-Gallants-Blazin-Blend/p/43357011/category=4497512 GRAMMIE GALLANT BLAZIN BLEND, had it on wings myself about 2 weeks ago, GREAT VIDEO and keep the LAUGHS coming
Haha, thanks Sheldon! You are one hell of an uber fan buddy. Keep it up. You're going to hit the sucker!
