Good luck making the top 15 today guys. Hope we both find ourselves on that list.
Much hits the mark, some needs more refinement. Would like to see how your show turns out for sure! Best of luck in the last bit of voting round!
That animation show was you guys? Crazy!! Unfortunately I still don't know what Randy Justice is about but I do like your team and hope to see you succeed.
You guys did a nice job on the hype, because you are humble and nice guys. I would like to see more of your project in the form of a trailer to see more comedy. All the best in making top 15
It's looking very funny so far. From the over-the-top drug lord to the mask that looks like a caricature of the titular character, it has a lot of potential. Good luck.
Great Work! Funny concept and definitely lots of potential! Keep up the great work:) Very Creative!
I like you guys...even though you are competition. Great video, gave us a good look into the craziness of the past few weeks. As well as the development of the concept.
I thought this video was really compelling and I think you guys rock! Keep these vids comin'! Good luck with the Flip it mission! Can't wait to see what you guys come up with next!
Thanks Ryan! We enlisted the help of some other Coupers this week.
OSKIE WEE WEE
OSKIE WAA WAA
HOLY MACKINAW
TIGERS...EAT EM RAW!
Great vids from this team every week. Lots of talent. Love that it's set in the hammer. You've got some of my votes!
Pigskin Pete reference! Thanks!
Heya Guys, glad we're all coming down to the wire with yaz! This bunch has the potential to make it through this challenge, and create something taylor made for a wild Ride! Break legs Gents!
Thanks Dennis. <3 you guys.
I like the frankness of your Hype It video. Just chatting with us, letting us in on your process. I'm not sure why more fans aren't connecting with you. You are very gifted and creative.
Thanks Karen!
As much as I just plain food not like sons of butcher, I'm tentatively hopeful about this one. Best of luck guys. I hope things go well for you this time around.
Given that you used the word 'food' instead of 'did', I think you should go have a sandwich. Also, thanks for giving us a chance even if you didn't like what we did before.
Well the final hours of the vote to get to the next level are approaching now so it is up to the voters now to get you there. Best wishes to you for success and nice work on getting through to the top 55 for all those able who were able to get that far.
Max S you are hilarious
Thanks for taking the time to cut and paste into this thread. Best of luck at your next swim meet.
Mentioning your past successes was definitely a good move, but you never addressed what the actual series is going to be about in the video. It would definitely catch people's attention more if they knew what you are making.
Yeah we thought that was the role of the sell sheet but then no one looks at the sell sheet, so, yeah. Scuppered.
This one defiantly could go far. Some real talent and a great group of cast members. This should be funny. I hope you guys go far!
Thank you!
Such an insanely likeable team! I've loved this project from the beginning, and I love to see a project from Steel City! Best of luck!
Steel City will be a great back drop to this show
These creators are interesting to me. Worth a look. Good luck to you. I'm a sucker for a red/green connection.
Definitely needed more hype. Great idea, though!
I've seen the cartoon. Be weird to see the guys in live action.
Keep up the good work!! I don't really understand it, but I like the idea of people having to pay for their crimes! You are like a superhero but a normal person and that's good! Keep it up!!
Good Job Guys keep it up and you'll be top 15 for sure!!!! Really funny stuff! Can't wait to see more!
The idea of a guy taking justice into his own hands is always interesting to me. All that with a Canadian twist? On board.
Congratulations on making it to the Top 55 and good luck on making it to the Top 15!! I agree that Trevor finally showed up! What a guy, happy to see him here!
I've been in every video I'm confused
Randy Justice is a really great name for a character and its been a lotta fun watching it the whole team seems really funny and engaged however im not super into action stuff so that might be a concern for me but id definitely give it a chance
It's nice to see Trevor is finally pulling his own weight on this team and showed up for a video:) Love the premises and love the gags. Hope we get to see more. Good luck guys!
What do you mean? I've been in every video, its all a blur now, but yeah, I've been in every video dude
Team Randy Justice you guys have a fun social media take, with all the Randy Justice style banter. Good luck in the voting ! - Wharf Rats
You guys have been fun to joke with on twitter. Begging for votes is just boring. Good luck the rest of the way.
It's impressive that you guys made "Sons Of Butcher", but I don't know if that's reason enough that you guys should win this contest. Interesting idea, definitely. Pretty alright execution, sure. I just don't know if it's right for the CBC. I could see it being on FX or the Comedy Network, absolutely!
I agree that the old guard of CBC wouldn't air something like Randy Justice, but these days I think they might ? Something different ! Or maybe not.
Really funny stuff, guys! Your background is very impressive and you should be proud of what you put together here. Keep up the great work, and I'm sure you'll have another series one day very soon.
Thanks Caitlin!
You guys have a following, experience, and the know how to actually produce a popular comedy show. This is a no brainer.
I like you very much.
this Randy Justice character is really intriguing! i like the blend of comedy and action. i am a big fan of those cheesy 90s movies so im totally on board with this. the show is so "hamilton" in a great way. its a region thats underrepresented in the media. nice work
You get it, my friend.
Would have liked to see more about Randy Justice, but what I already know from your previous videos still has me interested. It's been really great seeing you guys putting out content again! Honestly, when I think about great Canadian comedy influences in my life, you guys are part of that list!
Appreciate your support Vanessa.
Good luck. I'm sure this appeals to a mass audience unfortunately it's not my particular taste. This first show you had wasn't my taste either though so you probably shouldn't put much on my opinion lol!
It's not for everyone, but I think if you got a chance to see an episode you would see it has broader appeal than our previous show. Thanks for your comment.
It's been great seeing this idea grow since the launch of the ComedyCoup. With the background and experience of the team I'm sure this would make a great series. Good luck!
You are a great team but you need a great concept. I can't figure out what your show is about from this press release. I am all for the underdog and you have my sympathy vote. Good luck.
I like you guys because you tell it like it is. You have experience and seem like TV is in your blood. Your team works well together and I wish you all the best in this competition
Refreshing to see some regular folks here, showing a slice of real life and offering your ideas without pretension. Now that's different! Congrats on staying in the game and continuing to create content!
I might actually watch this one
yo your guys's faces are funny, just that makes me laugh alone and for real? im not kidding. i love your manière, and the way y'all seem to have a dope time. hope this doesn't get cancelled if it excels.
I like your energy and your hopefulness, and sharing what you have created in a few weeks. However, sharing your past doesn't give me the vision for your future....
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. awesome
I wish i could vote 71 times for this eh Max!!!!
I wonder how many of the 71 kicks ricochet'd into your inner thigh...judging by the shades of purple, probably a lot
That joke hits below the belt.
This has such a down to earth feel about it, and I really enjoy the concept. I hope you guys can keep it up into the final weeks. Looking forward to more.
Thanks!
A good hard sell without the hard. I'm in. You pulled it off. Too many innuendos? Never too many innuendos. But really, the sincerity you displayed with the comedy made me a fan. Looking forward to more of this.
If you're gonna innuendo, you might as well go all the way. Thanks Tim!
Great energy in your video clip. Interesting to hear about your background. Hope that your concept makes it to the top 15. Keep the creativity flowing and congratulations on the great effort!
Thanks Cindy!
I like you guys. You made a very persuasive and vulnerable argument for why folks should vote you along.
Appreciate it.
So let me get it straight ... you made it once with a cartoon concept and the help of Red Green; got canned; then a long span of inactivity and rejection to follow; had no idea when comedy coup started but created something on the fly; now your begging to be accepted ... got it
congratulations team Randy Justice on making it to the top 55! As a fellow producer, I know the passion and dedication it takes to make these weekly challenges - don't worry about the haters and I hope to see you in the top 15!
Hey Greg b....go fuck yourself. And find something better to do with your time to make dumb comments on random things. Surf on.
This clip filled my viewing time for the last 90 seconds plus the additional 15 seconds of CBC filler.
Good job on this week 5 video.. although it didn't really make clear what the show is about, it did give some good insight into who you guys are and what you have accomplished in the past (which is a heck of a lot!). All the best from the east coast, and hope you guys stick around and make it into the top 15 so we can see more!
Interesting concept for the video and appreciate your efforts but it still is missing something. Hope you can find it for the next round.....good luck.
Good luck with this week's Top 15 vote. The actors are entertaining and fresh.
Congratulations on finishing the video for this week and good luck in all your missions in the future.
Thanks for the video and concept. Interesting and would like to see more. Bring the entertainment, acting and characters each week and I'll be waiting. Good luck in making it to the next round.
Appreciate it Dave. We'd love to!
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 had me at 'Randy Justice'.
Good luck you guys.
I appreciate your honesty. Wish you had less of your past accomplishments and more hype about your current show in your video. Great job on your sell sheet! Good luck with the rest of the competition!
Yeah we would have loved to. In these short videos something always gets sacrificed. Thanks for your comment.
GLUCK GUYS
Interesting concept, i like it. It seems like it would be enjoyable for almost all ages, (except of course the during the useage of bad language and whatnot). Im a fan of the cast you've picked, all funny, however they need some work in a smidge of places. Good luck!
Actually the bad language is only in the teaser we did when we weren't sure what the show or the tone of the show really was - our script is actually squeaky clean by today's standards. Thanks for your comment
You seem to be a very funny, creative group of guys. It would be great if you get to achieve your dream this time and get your show made. Good luck on your success!
Cheers Bill!
Congrats for making it to the Top 55. You guys definitely possess a great sense of humor and I look forward to seeing more of your work. Good luck !
Thanks Debbie
Yes, you guys have come a long ways; i also like your stunts, that was funny. But i am not sure what you guys are still all about. But I appreciate how you have worked hard to develop your project. I wish you the best of luck team!
good luck in the next round guys. Just goes to show that hard work and dedication can really pay off. Good for you guys, sticking together and committing to making something great. hope to see you in the next round
Thanks Kate!
Good luck to you guys and I like your concept. I think I would be interested in watching this show and seeing more. Good work on getting this far and hope you keep going. Well done
Thanks Donna!
Great hype video! When you said you were going to be telling your backstory I braced myself a bit, but you presented it in a way that was both interesting and funny (I didn't notice a "No dogs were harmed in the making of this video" message, but he seemed pretty chill with it). Good luck guys!
Thanks Don. Ollie the YorkiePom is alive and well, despite our best efforts.
Sounds interesting
Definitely pulling for you guys on this one!
i loved how you guys got all emotional and sh#t on this video. I wanna see sons of butcher! Me and my sweet pals love all your stuff and we watch that week 2 video of yours over and over. We love it when jay says that point and click games are hilarious! Then he laughs and we laugh too. The longhair is gold and the other guy reminds me of my ex girlfriend, so kudos! xx
hahaha. Here's some SoB for ya http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oR-mMET7HWk
Congrats on making your way into the top 55 and hopefully you will be as successful getting into the top 15. The name Randy justice is a catchy name that will draw people into the project and most of your thumbnails are great. It's hard not to click on this page. Good work guys.
Thanks Daniel!
It is very interesting that you guys have experience working in the industry. That should definitely help out if you win, haha!
Very interesting take on things. I also am a first time viewer of you guys, but I have definitely made it a point to keep an eye on you. I am excited to see what is coming next. Good luck in the next round.
Thanks Stephany
I might start wearing corduroys after watching this... Due mostly to the fact that the jeans I'm wearing right now got real wet from your video and I think corduroy hides wetness better.
I'm not sure what was the source of said fluid was but I'm deciding to take this as a compliment.
I respect and appreciate the honesty you guys are bringing to the table. I've bullshit my way through things only to find out I really care about them later on as well. Good luck to you guys!
Thanks Jacob.
Haven't watched you before but nice work on this video. Congrats on getting this far and I wish you luck as you shoot for the Top 15!
Thanks!
Funny hype but..what is your pitch?
These Hype videos were meant to be watched alongside the Sell Sheets. Check it out above to learn more about our pitch.
Someone needs to hire you guys as writers. I really enjoyed your hype and I am starting to really like your team. You guys are easy on the eyes and need to play that up a bit, don't hide in the dark.
Thanks Karin.
I'm going to vote for you just because you're related to Red Green. Good job, you deserve it!
That's kind of a terrible reason but happy to have your vote all the same!
Loving the red neck aspect of everything! Your honesty is hilarious and most of us can really relate to it! Specially due to the business that we are all in. Very funny, keep up the great work! So congratulations on making it to the Top 55 and good luck on making it to the Top 15!!
Thanks Mack!
I am glad that you are coming along fine and dandy. I am also glad that you have a better idea where you are going with this project. I wasn't too sure when I saw your first video. Good luck you guys!
Yeah we weren't sure either. Thanks Don.
Going forward my votes will go to storyline, substance and ability to deliver a sustainable, CBC suitable, comedy series. Curious to see if you can deliver that.
I agree with how you will direct your votes, with the exception of "CBC suitable". That notion is meant to be discarded for this accelerator. Thanks for your comment.
I thought this was just great. Your honesty is something most of us in this business can related to. It is so difficult to make work and then get your work out there and stay out there. You guys are talented and very humble. Well done!
Christina from Idiot Parade
Thanks Christina - have a great time at your event tonight.
Hamilton eh... I used to live there and unless things have cleaned up a lot since 2002, that's a city that could use some Randy Justice!! However is was the home of the Hamilton Strip and Red Rockets chicken wings so it ain't all bad! And of course, some very funny dudes live there! Keep it up guys and you'll be back on top in no time. PS.... tell your dad Smith and Smith was the shit!!
Jason - sounds awesome.
Red Rockets and the Strip still goin' strong. Cheers Boxcar.
Hamilton's sort of like my other hometown. Tons of family there and some interesting experiences. I suggest since the wharf rats have a history with hamilton that we go there and team up with randy justice to help clean up the streets.
So another group with celebrity backing. Not to be mean but Red Green (Steve Smith) come on. Why are you riding on coat tails. Try being yourselves. If the talent is there you don't need it.
Actually we have avoided this like the plague. No endorsement, no cameo, no pleading to the RG fanbase. We acknowledged that we learned under him for a few years and are better for it. Not sure how that's riding coattails. Oh well. Thanks for watching.
Red Green was in this? I thought the guy with the beard was Paul Rudd.
awesome stuff, you kick butt I like this concept randy justice 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!
That was a really nice little story you just told there, pretty brave to admit the lack of prep you had going in, but you are not alone, there seems to be a couple of other groups that are also keeping just one step ahead of the game. Power to you all.
You guys nailed this video! Great work! I also love the optimism and excited-ness that you three seem to carry with you. Makes me happy too. And I like that. Thanks :)
Constructively commenting on your mission five week video. Keep doing what you are doing and good luck in the future
I am impressed with the energy and chemistry. Congratulations making it to the top 55 in comedycoup and good luck moving forward as they decide the top 15.
I actually kinda like Randy Justice even tho all the fighting isn't my thing. Plus, you guys don't come across as douches! Always a plus!! And Sons of Butcher looks pretty funny.
The fighting is just one element of the show, hopefully we get to stick around to showcase the rest of it.
Congratulations making it to the top 55 in comedy coup's pitch contest and good luck moving forward as they decide the top 15.
Sons of Butcher was awesome and super unique! You guys should move forward based on that alone. Shows experience and that you're actually capable of pumping out a quality show. Best of luck guys!
Hahaha, I love that you guys talk about not knowing your own concept when you began. That works for me because I don't believe concept carries a show as far as talent. It's clear to me that you're funny and experienced.
Nice use of the brass knuckles on your sell sheet to draw attention to the breasts of the only female involved in this project. I guess you know your audience but fuck you. This from a fan.
Hey Randy Justice, I feel bad for singling you out. Your crew has only spread positivity across the ComedyCoup comment boards. But I'm still frustrated by that joke. I understand that sexism is part of a 90s action genre parody but I'm looking to you guys to subvert it.
Thanks for the funny and civil reply, Jay. I appreciate it.
Actually there are a few female characters in this but we won't be using brass knuckles to draw attention to their breasts, they'll all be completely naked.
To be honest I just dropped the brass knuckles on the only available space on the sell sheet because I thought it was a funny touch. If we wanted to be sexist and demeaning we wouldn't be that subtle, you must not have seen Sons of Butcher.
If there's one thing I enjoy, it's seeing justice doled out in large quantities, and it seems like you guys are doing it by the buttload! Good work! Keep it up! Maybe this will change the future of Hamilton!
Randy Justice is awesome, love the style of humour. But, I'm sitting here, shaking my fists up to the heavens that a show called "Ouija Mike" didn't make it. Good luck moving forward, each week your videos get better and better.
-PC (Infinite Possibilities)
Thanks Patrick. Ouija Mike was just a character in a sketch but it was funny to us to take him out of context so that it looked like an actual show pitch. And now that you mention it it probably is better than anything else we were trying to get made. Good luck in top 15 - we're fans of IP.
Great to hear the backstory and see that you're pulling out all the punches! wink ;)
Would you say the success before was a bit of a curse or blessing in disguise?
Love the sell sheet!
Only tip I have is in regards to what someone mentioned before, the like-ability of your lead actor... just have him do something nice early on to show he's not THAT bad (a la "save the cat" ;)
Best of luck this weekend fellas!
Darcy - WingMom.ca
Found the content interesting to hear that you had made it before. Having that experience should be very beneficial in pulling this all together. Best of luck in moving forward
Thanks Dianne.
Wow! You guys seem like a hardworking bunch! You've made it before, and now there's a chance to make it again. I liked hearing the background story, but I wish you had explained your vision for this new show a little better in more detail. Good luck guys.
Thanks Kurtis. Such is the curse of 90 seconds. Hard to get it all in. We hoped that the sell sheet would help in that regard. Check it out if you get a chance.
It's great to hear about what you've worked on before and your success/failures of the past. It makes you guys seem more human and easier to relate to. As for this weeks mission I thought you could have explained your concept a bit more as that is what the media is meant to be taking away from this. Overall, good work, and keep the ideas flowing. Also, congrats on the article in the Action Elite.
Thanks Christina for your thoughtful comments, as usual. If we had to do it over again, we'd probably try to squeeze more in about Randy.
You guys are a band who has gone through some stuff and now going to have an epic come back.:) We ja dig over here at Charlie & Yoni!
Thanks Jessica! Good luck Monday!
I feel like these guys are the underdogs of the competition. They've been beaten down after their success ended and now they are on their way back. Some people don't like the Underdog "tactic", but I feel they've given a clear history of their previous work and have been honest that they had no idea what they were doing in the first place. I like that. They get a vote.
Thanks Emilee.
Liking the sell sheet. Naked Gun Meets Blood Sport! Now that's something I'd like to see. looking forward to more from you guys. Good luck in the upcoming vote this weekend!
Mark
-Infinite Possibilities-
Thanks Mark. We're fans of IP. How about both of us get in? That'd be fine.
This is the first video I've seen from this group, and I'm not too ecstatic about the underdog tactic you're using here. This is purely a criticism of your marketing strategy, and not your idea; although given that this is the first thing I've seen about your project, I'm not too sure what it is. Successful week five videos have done a great job at re-iterating what's already been said about the project for new voters who have just begin following the group, while also offering some new information. Of course, your marketing strategy might be for others, but it's not to my taste.
The sell sheet is there to lay out what the show is. We could have pitched the show concept in this vid as others have done, but would media types write about it? I doubt it. We thought they might write a broader piece about the industry, ComedyCoup's disruptive emergence within that industry, and use us as an example of formerly-successful but currently-disenfranchised goofballs who were brought back into the fold by an opportunity that simply didn't exist even three months ago. We didn't mean to portray ourselves as underdogs - and if we came across like that, that's our fault - our focus was more on how difficult and fickle this industry can be, and how ComedyCoup is a preferrable model.
More than anything though - all of these HypeIt videos are meant to be consumed alongside the Sell Sheet, and if you don't read the sheet you're not really seeing the whole picture. Thanks for your comment.
This style didn't work for some teams, but you guys pull it off perfectly, great job , gonna be a tough week, teams are really steppin it up (should have said KICKIN it UP). Good luck with your KICK'n it UP Event Friday night, kick some nuts for me
Cheers Sheldon. There will be blood.
This is a great underdog story. I just can't help but cheer for you guys. The more I watch, the more I'm convinced that you guys deserve this opportunity. See you in Hamilton!
Hah! Didn't realize you guys were involved in Sons of Butcher! SoB wasn't really my cup of tea, but Randy Justice is a concept I can get behind. Wishing you guys luck, I need to see more fish-nunchuck action
Thanks for not holding it against us! Check our week 2 video and you'll see you're not the only non-fan.
nice job on this weeks challenge. I am really liking the sell sheet as well very eye catching. I like the little bits of cartoon, jamming out etc. it kept me interested.
Thanks Carly for your always honest feedback.
This is definitely one of the best pitch videos I've seen thus far. Great work. A little name dropping there, with out name dropping clever haha
Thanks!
I loved sons of butcher so this video really brought a tear to my eye. and then i got hyped for justice. good work.
Appreciate it.
Nice video for hype week. You got me interested and I'd like to see more of what you guys can come up with.
Mission accomplished then. Thanks!
Love the vibe guys. Take it to the next level.
Ok yeah let's do it.
Great to get to know you and what you've done so far, best of luck! nice job on the vid.
-Littleton Falls
Thanks man good luck in top 15!
As a fellow Canadian writer, I totally get your excitement about getting rejected in two weeks. I hated waiting months for the inevitable rejection letter. Two weeks is the dream scenario. Funniest video yet, and really looking forward to Mr Wincott unleashing his brand of whoop-ass on the scum of Canada's seedy underbelly.
Thanks Lane! No one really wants to develop a show for free, but the timeline of ComedyCoup is such an amazing selling feature, particularly for those of us who've played the waiting game way too many times.
Never give up!
A
We did though! Temporarily, I guess. You're still right but goddamn it ain't easy.
The back story was great! Inspiring stuff!
Thanks Cliff!
Another great submission! It's easy to tell that you're a hard working group. It's nice to see a commitment to your project that's sincere and heart felt.
I've been through a lot of the Projects on Comedy Coup and I think you guys definitely have one of the most original and funny ideas of the bunch.
I'm hoping you'll make it into the Top 15, you deserve it!
All the best.
All of us in ComedyCoup have taken years off our lives meeting these deadlines but comments like this make it worthwhile. Cheers.
