Good luck guys! This video is fantastic and I’ve really enjoyed all the stuff you’ve made. Hope to see you in the final round. You really deserve it…more than some others out there.
Thanks so much, Erica. Really glad you like your stuff.
Congratulations on making it to the Top 55! You guys are doing a great job. I really believe in you guys and want to see this thru to the end. Best wishes for making it to the next level.
Holy Crap I've never seen Dan Burne Drunk and I have to say that this is not acting this is for sure a Dan Drunk. Good Luck with this too bad it couldn't have gone on longer
I love ABBA! Haha definitely relatable and super funny! Best of luck on making it to the top 15.. one of my favs forsure! I totally like the main character drinking and singing a long to Mama Mia hahaha
I feel like I want to be your friends! I’m curious and yet am sure you’ve worked out how we’d see an entire season. My only concern is whether it would come off too “Hangovery” and thus alienate a good chunk of audience?
Thanks Megan. To us that feels like very little of what we're after, so I don't think that's a worry. Although you have to make bold decisions that will always alienate some of the audience, but I don't think Hangover-y is too accurate a description of how our show will go.
If this truly is the show about the party before the hangover it sounds like there's room for a lot of laughs. I just hope it's not cheep drunk humor. I expect you will have clever and unpredictable stuff as well. Good luck!
Yes, we promise to, thank you! We're not into cheap drunk humour in the least either—we want to write great and surprising jokes. Thanks for the note, Cheryl!
Your team is really funny and I truly believe you could put together a fantastic show, but I am unsure how that would work a full season. And if you do last one night, how will that go forward for multiple seasons. Anyway, best of luck! I am excited to see how this project fairs in the contest and would like to see the full show.
Congratulations on making the top 55! Haha drinking by yourself and playing Abba makes this one funny video. Best of luck for the top 15! "See I'm fun" :) hahahaha
I liked the concept of this one it was really funny. You are a good actor and really funny too. Having watched you guys others videos I strongly believe that you have a great project and that you absolutely deserve to be in the top 15. Continue the great work guys!
Fun to watch you get shwasted, although i wish I could a little more info out of it! the acting from what i saw in your teaser is fantastic though and i'm very intrigued about your show. cheers!!!!
IT'S GREAT THAT you didn't pass out. It's sad that you didn't get sick, because throwing up is always funny. Good idea, like DRUNK HISTORY. My favorite part of your concept is that it's only 6 episodes like one of the best Comedy seasons of ALL TIME: EAST BOUND AND DOWN. Missing the edge though. let's see the EDGE. CUT ME said no one ever except Jian Ghomeshi.
So did Dan actually have all of those drinks? I'm skeptical... haha, no no I believe it. Good video! I really enjoyed it - but what is the show about?
Congratulations on completing week three guys! Still enjoying this concept, tons of fun. I love that it happens during the party and opposed to the after effects.
Congratulations on finishing the video for this week and good luck in all your missions in the future.
I love the fact that you're totally wasted here. I mostly love the one shot in the middle when you're not wearing the sweater I want to see more of that footage. I love you guys stuff, I want to find out more about the characters.
Six, episodes, might be alright. For the first, season. But you're definitely gonna need more episodes! For the following seasons. Because that's literally, just a month and a half, worth of episodes. And people are probably gonna get tired, of watching the same, twelve, episodes. Until season three starts. But that's if season two is just another, six, episodes.
good job on this weeks challenge. Congratulations on making it this far and I look forward to seeing more. keep on going!
What I really like about this show is how it is flexible, it can be short in six episodes or it can grow. You all seem very talented and I look forward to seeing more.
on aime ca! it is funny, it is explaning the concept and i am kind of tired to look at videos of people that want to sale themselves! you, it looks like you enjoy your project and you really want to do it! good luck guys! i like ti!
aaaaaaaaand they have my vote... again, since I already know what this show is about and how it'll be executed I thought this was a good way to be different. I enjoy this video personally.
Great explanation while getting polluted. The background music fit well with the acting kind of pushed it along. Face down at the end is kind of expected but would probably be disappointed if I hadn't seen it. Good luck as you move on in the compatition.
Not a very unique concept; people get drunk all the time and think they are funny. Good advertising for liquor companies ,though. Doesn't describe how this project is different from any other project.
I've seen this idea done many times. I expected to see a lot more in this video from this talented team. I don't think getting drunk in front of the camera was the best way to explain the series and I didn't find it very funny either
Funny! You guys are moving in on my favourites territory.
Getting drunk and talking about your show is pretty easy comedy, but you couldn't even get that right. Not seeing any funny at all. One bonus though is that you have Abba as part of your team, since the rules state that all material submitted must be "original and generated by the applicant". Good for you!
this was pretty funny but didn't tell me how your show will be different. Still don't get how you will make it a sitcom based on one night.
Funny was to get your differentiator across. I don't think this is the type of show I would watch, but it looks like it could be okay. Good luck
Very interesting concept and Dan's character makes you want to see more of him. I look forward to watching them continue and seeing how far they will go.
A clever video and original. Funny group of people. Good writing. Keep up the good work. Interesting to watch and look forward to see the new directions you take the videos in the coming weeks.
Dan seems like a very likable guy. Great concept for a comedy show. When I had watched the trailer originally I was hoping that the format of the show would be just that. Looking forward to seeing this project further in the competition. Hope the hangover wasn't too bad!
Here's to hoping you guys make the top 50. You seem to have a talented and passionate team that make great videos with excellent ideas and execution. Can't wait to see more. Cheers.
ILL TAKE ALL OF THAT.
Hoping to see you guys in the top 55 and beyond. Think this video is very original and the cast is very funny. Rooting for you!
Thank you Evelyn, really appreciate it!
im voting all the time and really sticking by you guys! will honestly be upset if you don't move on. you have great personalities from what I can see and i think the show will be a huge success. I will def be watching!
Thank you so much, Kendralea! We really really appreciate your support. We're working really hard to make this show a reality.
Great statement of purpose and you've got me hooked. Hopefully you get to realize this project and bring your sense of humour to the people and make them laugh.
That's a lot of alcohol. I'm both impressed and worried. Well, would be worried were I not laughing so hard. Solid video, I love the drunken sentiment. No hash tag, be be yourself. Drunken sage advice.
Great videos so far guys. Really slick and professional looking. If you win, I think your show will be pretty good. I'll tune in for sure. Good luck!
fifty million merits to these guys, give them their own channel!
I love Dan, I love him so much that I got a clone of him. Sadly, all the clone does is ingest alcohol, so I kind of live this video everyday. What I'm trying to say is I'd like every video to have a little Mark in it, or at least map Mark's genome and release it on the internet.
Love this team, this video, this vibe , this everything.
Be yourself and that will be orignal means everything. The best one-liner.
You are definitely a team to beat in this awesome competition!
This looks awesome. Proud of all the great Canadian talents involved.
"Whatever it is that makes us different, it's gonna come from us making the show we know we need to make. Nothing truly impactful has ever come from manufactured uniqueness."
BINGO. Your show looks rad. Looking forward to seeing the rest of your missions.
YES. THE BITTER END LIVES ON.
Would have like to have seen more on how the show is different and less of it being talked about. You have a very talented crew. Interested to see what you come up with next.
Dan Beirne for President!
This is such a cool cast of people, I loved dad drives! It would have been cool to see the others get drunk tooooooo!
This looks really fun.
HA HA FRIGGIN HILARIOUS. Was this guy really drunk or not? My bets are like, yup, friggin wasted. I'm glad we find out that season one is gonna be the SAME night. That's cool! I would LOVE to see this show! CANADA NEEDS MORE PARTY, MORE HILARIOUS, MORE LITTLE, MORE BEIRNE, MORE ONE NIGHT ONLY!
Haha interesting concept.
I've seen amazing projects by every person in this cast so I can only imagine what they can accomplish together.
You guys got me to be a fan, I've been following since week 1. Nice job! I think acting and shooting is top notch. Good luck. Also- have you noticed how more people are adding comments this week now that they can earn votes for their own show?
I'm a huge fan of this project already, even though we're only at the end of week 3. Love the 'drunk history' style vid this week. Keep them coming guys - team Ghost Lawyer.
Big fan of this project. "Be yourself and that will be original" is EXACTLY it. Looking forward to seeing the killer cast back together in future vids.

You guys are awesome.
Totally agree with Danny B.
I'm interested to know what you mean by the 6 episode season. Are you focusing more on the BBC model of shorter seasons, with more punch per episode? Or is this more of a conceit based on the amount of story you have per night; 2 nights of 6 eps each?
I was already on board with this show because of the cast and premise, but to see one of the minds behind the project drinking India, well that puts this show in a whole different league. Cheers to you, my friend. And cheers to your charming Duke-cuffs
Charming, well argued.
Funny stuff! Really enjoying the concept. Very curious to see how one night will be stretched into one season. I will drink with this team anytime; just not trusting you around my car
Watching this video, I was like great another show about getting drunk and then the aftermath...but every day. I am not sure why but I actually really liked this video and was busting up laughing...not sure how many episodes that could last but I was sold for now.
Love you, Dan.
Interesting
OK this video is hilarious and is clearly genuine or contains some very slick acting. That being said, that is a LOT of booze on the table! I am not trying to be a grandma or anything but practice safe alcohol consumption kids! signed, your grandma.
PS this is a very funny video.
PPS Just one or two drinks can still be a good time
I agree with the dude who posted below me on this page, "Space Riders" was totally hilarious. You guys do comedy very well.
Space Riders was some of the funniest Canadian content I've seen since trailer park boys. The CBC should offer you guys a show regardless of this competition.
When I read the synopsis for this show idea and saw who was involved I was already laughing. I thought that your teaser was super slick and I can't wait to see more from your guys. I wonder if the idea can carry a season but the idea of The Hangover meet 24 meets Out Of Africa (okay, that is just my suggestion) is very funny. Love the work and bring on the more!!
So charming! Saw you at the festival we should have partied! Next time!
I like the idea but I think its been done way too much. I don't think its something that would keep me coming back week after week. I think the only people you would be attracting are teenagers. I liked your teaser but this weeks mission didn't really impress me. Looked like there wasn't much thought put into it.
Thanks for the feedback, Kelley. We look forward to impressing you yet when you see how the show is designed to come together. I'm curious how it comes across to you that it would be intended for teenagers, as we're always interested in ways to express our idea more clearly and that's not necessarily what we're going for. Let me know if you can!
p.s. Not that we don't think teenagers are as worthy viewers as any others; ideally there would be mandatory screenings of our show in their classrooms on a regular basis.
Drinking India.
I was disappointed with this weeks video compared to what I had seen before. It didn't really show how the series is different and there wasn't much creativity
I don't want to say LOL because... gross. But I did laugh out loud. Looking forward to seeing more. :)
I'm glad you guys explained in this video why you are not like The Hangover because I've been wondering that since the get go. Clever way to convey this weeks mission and it's great that you managed to stick with the theme of your original concept in this video as well. I am wondering though, if you plan to make a season only 6 episodes then will the next season feature the same group or a whole new one? Good luck with the competition guys!
Looking forward to seeing week 4 as the first 3 weeks have been great
Thanks so much, Corinne! We can't wait to do more jokes n' comedies about this show.
This is the first week 3 that made me laugh soooo *winner*
This video is fun. Dan, you're fun.
I relaly liked the change of pace and format in this one. Having Dan explain the gist of the concept (and why it's NOT The Hangover) is a great idea. Adding in the hilariously stupid drinking aspect and it just makes it that much more fun. This definitely makes me even more excited. Other vids with different people involved like this would be a great idea if/when feasible.
#beunexpectedlydrunk
Did Dan do a walk of shame?
I liked your first two videos (with the exception of the pooping business). I liked the character relationships, the slo-mo, the vacuum edit, and the look back "in memoriam". I feel week 3 was missing the buddy impact (and the slo-mo and the vacuum) and therefore, not as strong.
Thanks for the feedback, Kathleen! Right now we've been spread across the country by circumstance for a few weeks, so we're doing our best to still make the best stuff we can—and Dan did totally kill it in this. If we get the go-ahead to make the show, we'll all be back in the same room, though, with slo-mo, vacuums, and much more.
oh boy what a super fun time this is! It's impossible not to like these ding dongs. Kinda makes me wanna have a drink...is that weird? Anyway, y'all are great,
I like your commitment to the project. You also seem like a good drunk - funny not the pathetic crying type. :)
I thought the video was very funny. It perfectly represented the idea of being yourself and that being where the comedy comes from but I would have also liked to see more of the group in the video, given that the show is an ensemble comedy. Also, are we not prohibited from using copyrighted music? Either way, strong stuff.
PURE METHOD (I can vouch for him)
Did you really get drunk or were you acting or will i never know? (use that as constructive criticism) Your show looks funny, and I enjoyed hearing you speak about web series'z at the SJWFF, glad you were able to get some India India.
Six weeks to discover what happens over the period of just one night; that would have to be one crazy party!! Maybe? it could be interesting.
I know Comedy Coup wants us to provide constructive comments this week, so to whichever poor CBC intern has been tasked with tallying those comments: this is not one of my constructive feedback comments!
I'd have a drink with the Dad Drives dudes.
That's my non-constructive comment. If you guys are ever in Vancouver, drop me a line via the Comedy Coup comments section. I check it EVERY DAY.
well you did a great job answering the elephant in the room- how is this different than the hangover? it's one night. the party is the setting etc... As I recall, that too was the hangover just seen through a series of flashbacks (mostly). I don't see this as an episodic, unless this happens to the characters every weekend, in which case you could always end the series in a Shakesperean-meets-resevoir dogs-esq twist where all the lead characters die in the same hospital room, of liver failure.
Thanks a lot for the feedback, Art. We've got a unique structure planned that should totally solve the issue of "this wouldn't happen every weekend." Can't wait to share it.
Shakespeare-meets-Reservoir-Dogs will still be fully considered, though, because that sounds fun. Or very violent. Definitely one of the two.
Ouch. My stomach turned! It was worth it. Watching the video I got a good sense of where you want to lead us. Looking forward to more vids!
I guess so? I got a good sense of where they wanted to lead. Not sure if I want to follow...
hahaha! Love!
A
Maybe it's because I'm drinking while watching this, maybe because I'm pretty sure that's the same speech my Dad gave me before film school... But I fucking love this!

Nice to have it explained how you''d turn one night into a whole season of TV! I'm rooting for this one, seems like a fun team and an original project.
Drinking India! Good on ya, man.
Super funny, super cheap
-your favorite underdogs, The Eligible Bachelors
Quick question: will the show also be in real time (like “24”) or will you sometimes skip ahead and/or flash back to parts of the night?
Expensive shoot! ;)
They're asking for constructive criticism this week so firstly, love the India! Did you know that's the national beer of Newfoundland!? Not really, but I use it to wash my hair! K, that's not true either but I love the taste of it!
Ok for the constructive part, I love the genuine nature of it. If it's real then I feel sorry for the editor. if not great acting! :) it would have been nice though to see a scene from your show to see it rather than say/slur it ;)
Feel free to return the criticism, over here at http://wingmom.ca
It's all about making a better, funnier product. Keep it up and look forward to seeing you in the Top 50!
