How do we hype our show? Find out by watching the video!
Fave 34 Views 678"Creativity trumps budget." Love that line. Julie has been one of my favourite characters in this competition from the start and I literally did a spit-take when she was miming in the background of one of your shots; watched it over again a couple times. Since I take the constructive criticism thing seriously, here goes: I'd love to see more of a cross-over/interaction with the kinds of folks that (stereo)typically frequent golf courses. Some old white dudes in bad pants and Tiger Woods wannabees getting their comeuppance would be brilliant!

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.
Well put together. The characters in this are pretty funny, and the setting is too. Will be interesting to see what your next submission brings.
This is the best hype I have seen so far. You guys continue to blow away the other teams every week by nailing the missions. You guys deserve the top 15, as I laugh out loud every week by what you submit. I can hardly wait what the next mission brings. All the best in making top 15
This is the best one and should win fo sho!! Your comedy is spectacular, great writing, I love the shots and the editing. 10/10. Sending love vibes to the universe for you to win! But I honestly think this will be picked up regardless. You got heart ;)
This is the first video I've watched from your team, and I love it. I can't wait to watch the rest. Good luck in the rest of the competition, hoping to see you in the top 15!
I like the remark that the show has heart. Well done reaching the Top 55. Beautiful scenery and fun choice of music. Good luck in next round of judging.
Great humor from this team again. Congrats on making the top 55 and good luck in the rest of the voting. Wishing you the best in the competition, your good friend Sharon.
Great work – looks like this project has a lot of potential to make it to the top 15. Looking forward to your week 6 submission!! I think Country Club is one of the most original ideas on here !
Great job, Country Club! I think you guys have a really vibrant sense of humour and kick butt attitude and I think that that is what you need to make the top 15! Good luck, and keep givin'er!
I like your spirit, but most of all, I like that your cast is funny and unpredictable. That must be the result of some real creative writing and acting! I suppose a golf course can be a good place to grow comedy, with actors' brains and all that fresh air. Nice work, and good luck!
sick, the mockumentary genre is not done all that well but you guys have a dry wit and humor that will be extremely engaging. BC country clubs are a great setting too. nice job!
This shows has complete potential, the characters feel as though they have a strong relationship besides just on screen.
Liked the sound track in this video. Liked the actors. Funny stuff happening. Not in my top 15 list but I think many will enjoy it. Good luck in the rest of the competition.
Looks like a really funny team and show. It has a sort of Caddyshack vibe which Ièm lovin
Good luck tonight, thanks for the laughs!
Congratulations guys for making it to top 55.Very interesting video .Keep up the good work and good luck in top 15 Way to go Cheers!!!!!!!!!!!
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!
Great work! felt like a trailer.
Thanks Mark!
nice editing job and great use of soundtrack !
Thank you Sarah, we felt the same about the song, too good!
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!
Good Job Guys keep it up and you'll be top 15 for sure!!!! Really funny stuff! Can't wait to see more!
Thanks Morgan, keeping our fingers crossed for tomorrow's op 15 announcement!
I dunno. I think this is your weakest video to date, but regardless your series is still 1st in the running for me. and that tree costume remains hilarious and iconic! lol. Good luck in the rest of the competition!
Sorry to hear you did not enjoy this video. But, I am glad to hear that wearing the tree costume during the hot summer made you smile!
Nice job with the "hype" video guys. You kept it light and funny, but I still understood that there was a sense of urgency, that this project needs our support. Fun, effective delivery. Best of luck!
lots of potential in this concept
nice work once again. that cake on your tritter feed is really funny hahaha. your videos are really well done and you definitely put a lot of time and effort in. it shows. keep up the great work.
Nice work, folks! The shots in this video look great. Kind of like an indie film! Though I'm not sure how well this video could be used as a media pitch. I would still have a lot of questions about your project if I was a reporter.
this one has potential. I like your comedy sense and the idea behind the project. I also think you can go through a lot of scenarios in a season whereas some videos I've seen I can't see where it's going to go from here.
I like the project, the way the video keeps moving and the talent. Good premise, different setting and ripe with a lot of comic potential. This is worth a top 15, in my opinion.
This an interesting concept delivered in a maybe less than slick fashion but still interesting way. I am looking forward to more of this in the future and I would like to see how it evolves. Good luck moving on in the Comedy Coup competition.
Another great video from Country Club. Thanks for showing some more of those side characters! You have a solid ensemble. Loved the synopsis in your Sell Sheet. I think it's a great premise and I want to see this show MADE. NOW. You have a lot of fans over here on the Dépflies team. Keep it up!
I love the so-serious-it's-funny style this week. Also, yay UBC grads! That you have this gorgeous setting to play within certainly helps
that was some soulful slow motion. i wish my life was like that. it's just going too fast. you guys look real, and the sepia filter adds some great tone to y'all's deadpan comedy. love it!
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. GL
you guys have done a great job so far. i really like that you are young and thats what i think this contest should be for: providing an opportunity to an up and coming new talent. great job team! good luck!
Great job so far and looking forward to how this project develops. I like your comedy style, can't wait to see what would happen if you guys had some CBC money behind you! I wish Comedy Coup had more challenges that involved filming more clips because as fun as this little trailer was I want to see more of the actual SHOW.
You guys are the real deal! Give it all you got. You're doing great!
good luck to you all, doing a great job
I think we need to see how many people can ride a golf cart at one time. it really on my mind anyway.
You are one of my potential picks since week one and I think you continue to do a great job. I've been amused and entertained with each mission and although I'm not a golfer, I think there would be situations & aspects that anyone with a good sense of humour could relate to. Good luck.
Maybe I need to watch some of your previous stuff to better understand how all the clips tied together and the funny connection to a skit I have not yet seen. On it's own I didn't really get it. Best of luck!
I think you guys as all of the teams not just the ones in the top 545 have done a great job of putting this contest together for CBC and I hope they show you all a great deal of gratitude for the work you have done.I have to say though I have lost some interest in your show though in the last couple weeks maybe because I am not a golfer I don't know but I wish you all luck in the future.
Like it! Funny stuff. The characters are good. Great expressions and that's very important. Shopping scene is my favourite. The ending passed out runner rocks! Nice way to end the clip. Not a big fan of the music. Good luck.
I've liked this show since week one and all the parts from the actual show are great and funny, but why use so many jump cuts in the last part. It brings down the rest of the video. I still like this show and rated it highly.
Good luck. You have worked very hard and comedy coup has a big debt to pay to all the teams that participated.
Oh boy. This looks like some pretty basic humor to me. I actually can't understand what you guys are going for here at all. This is the first I've seen of this show on the site and I'm not sure I'm going to return to see more... Sorry kids!
Love the video montage. Really hope we get to see the actual episodes they come from. And great fan promo idea to have a country club lounge fancy dress party. Strong, professional showing from you guys. Keep it up!
Thank goodness you guys showed us what you are about rather than talked about how great you are. MUCH appreciated and enjoyable. I love the soundtrack as well.
I've had so many great memories golfing over the years. Who hasn't been to a wedding at a golf course, golf lessons or had a job we weren't quite qualified for? Extremely relatable. I am keen on your show and am fond of every glimpse you give the audience of what's to come.
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!
Congrats on making the top 55 guys! Loving your project - great characters and plenty to work with in the concept. I hope you advance because I'd like to see more!
Congratulations for making the Top 55. I think the Country Club has lots of potential and from what you have shown us so far, your team creativity is wonderful. Good luck with your future projects.
Creativity trumps budget" and the reference to CBC having heart....YES! I saw your week 1 video and was intrigued. Glad you're still in the running. If I had only seen week 5 I'm not sure I'd appreciate all your potential. Best of luck!
Your project is one of the ones I've been tracking with. I look the concept. I love the way you take a piss at yourselves. It kills. The slo-mo stuff and music hit the mark. Royal - Littleton Falls Settler Village
I love this show. You guys seem cool, edgy and total turkey material. We should way to soon get all drunk and emotional together. Are you actors and stuff or just sweet rockstars with golf clubs? Keep up the thunder and don't let it rain too hard on yer friggin poet souls. xx
Two fave lines: "Creativity trumps budget". And "i didn't know a golf course could be so interesting". And neither did I until now.
This mission wins on the audio track alone. It give a much larger feeling to the show that you have shown us before. It's the kind of soundtrack that has gravitas and hints at pathos and ethos in the writing.
(wow, I sound pretentious).
I think you guys have a good team. I am not sure that this video of week #5 showed a lot of hype though. I think it has potential. Hope the best for you guys! Competition is pretty fierce right now. Really the best of luck to you!
Hello everyone you made it to top 55 good job i liked you video and the characters are very interesting good luck continue your good work
At this point in the competition I was hoping to see a different style of footage – I’ve been wanting to see how these characters interact with other characters, or actually watch them play out a short scene in context of their “day to day” activities (not just talking to the camera). However, I still think this is a strong show and I hope to see them in the Top 15!
I loved to see such great production on a humble budget. This is what this competition is about. Looking forward to seeing more. best of luck!
Another workplace comedy? Sure. But this thing clearly has heart. This could really develop into something. Good luck to you guys in this next round!
Haha, this was really epic. Almost needlessly epic. I loved it!
Let's keep repping BC like we've been doing! Best of luck and hope to see you in the top 15!
you guys are really funny and work well together. It looks like you have a lot of fun filming all of this. I just don't think this idea is very original it is not for me.
You guys have really worked hard and all the effort really shows. I can really see this as a weekly television show. It has lots of appeal to many different people. Keep up the good work and good luck . I'm sure you'll make it to the final fifteen.
This has to be one of the best produced mission videos this week. Amazing job and it really has a big feel to it. Hope you guys make it into the top 15
Catchy music, clear sound and funny actors. Not too sure if the media hype was strong enough. Love your idea and the setting. I think you have a lot of potential to make this into a series. Good luck making it to top 15!
Loved it!
Great lines in there on top of a catchy beat, it made me excited to see more of you guys! Great job on the video and look luck. Hope to see you in the top 15 :)
Great job on this weeks video! Definitely made me want to see more from this show. All the clips were fantastic and completing intriguing. Good luck to top 15, I'm pretty excited to see more from the country club!
Wish the hype had more info about your show and the people - but I am intrigued to view the rest of your videos. Good luck!
Great cast, very creative and funny. Really liked the music.
This show continues to get better. Very well done!! I love the premise and characters. This week`s video was good. I saw on an earlier reply that you were going for a documentary in this video. I liked that.
Looking forward to more:) BTW, Your week three video was absolutely hilarious!
I appreciated the trailer feel of the show, I thought the hype was there. The clips could have given a stronger story line and less randomness.
Watched all 55 tonight and u r in my top 5. Good feel.
Great cast, and I loved the score, really amped up the drama, comedy, and, yes, the hype! Mission accomplished, guys, good luck on voting day!
you guys look like you have a lot of fun filming all of the videos you have made so far. I want to come play a round of golf at this country club looks like it would be fun if you guys were there. Just don't know if this is the most original concept.
I think your characters have warmth and comic potential and the background is nice, but I really didn't get the hype from this segment and I'm not sure what the show is about, other than frolicking on manicured grass.
Thanks for the compliment/comment John. I definitely recommend reading our show's synopsis and checking out our other weekly mission content. You'll get a much better idea on what our show's about.
From the title I know this project is about a Country Club. I think I missed what this video is about, like your mission. I think there was more hype in other of your videos. Good luck with your project!
Thanks for the feedback Don. Our video this week was about our documentary crew showing our characters a trailer of what they've captured at our country club so far. To convince us they're doing a really good job, they added a bunch of effects, slow motion, and intense music to hype our characters on what they've been up to. We were more-so trying to build off of previous missions in trying to promote our mockumentary concept.
So what is going on in this show. No clue except I think its done in a golf course, because of the name. This did nothing for me. Sorry I don't see this being sold to me or anyone.
Thanks for the comment Virginia. The best clue I can give you is to copy and paste the following link into your browser search bar: http://comedycoup.cbc.ca/the-country-club. You'll be re-directed to our home page where we have our synopsis and links to our other weekly mission videos and materials pertaining to what our show's all about. Hope this helps!
I like this, the country club 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!
This is the first time I've seen your project, it seems that the music here was pretty intense and dramatic for comedy, it kind of made the jokes less funny. I hope you can keep the access to that course/club for the show, it really looks nice.
Interesting feedback Forman, our approach this week was to pretend that our documentary crew was showing us this intense trailer to try and sell our characters on the footage they've shot so far. The music was chosen to reflect the lengths the documentary crew was willing to go to in order to try and convince our characters that what they've shot so far is really good. It's definitely not something we'll be doing for the actual show. Check out the music in our Week 1 and 2 videos for a little taste of what we're going for in terms of soundtrack.
This is my FAVORITE video this week. You're so funny, and, like you said in the video, 'it has heart.' I would love to see this on air. #freshtodeath
A country club sounds like an interesting place to work. good luck with your concept and best in the competitions.
Very well done. The music in this video was perfect. Although this week's video didn't continue or build the show as much as I would have liked. Week three is still the best!!
Thanks for the feedback Dirt! We really like our Week 3 video as well. We tried to build on our mockumentary concept this week by having the documentary crew show our characters a trailer this time on the footage they've shot so far of our country club. We probably would have done a bit better with a little more voice-over to explain our show's concept more. Hoping we make the Top 15 to do better on this aspect in the weeks ahead.
The Country Club looks like it could be my kind of show and it looks as though you already have shot a lot of footage. The characters are appealing and there is a lot of room for interesting comedic situations.
I like the look of The Country Club, and I would definitely watch it. I don't really care for this "hype it" challenge, so I personally was glad to see more of the show including the new greenskeeper character, Mehmet. Keep it up!!
Nicely done and congratulations on making it so far in this competition. I would like to know what factors will decide the winner. Good luck.
Nice. I wanted to see more. And you did it without resorting to a single mention of sex. Actually original!
this weeks video was ok. I didn't get the hyped feeling though. I also do not know how original this idea is when I watch it I sort of feel like I have seen it somewhere before.
Another commenter in a previous week brought up a show called "Red Oaks" being produced by Amazon studios, which is similar in a few aspects as ours, mainly that it's set at a country club as well. Also, "Caddyshack" is the only major film that I can think of that's similar to our concept. Stayed tuned for more content, hopefully we'll get you hyped before this competition is over.
I found the video confusing ... it didn't really give me enough information this week ... I am just not feeling the buzz. I like the idea behind your show though, so I will check back to see how things evolve with the next challenge.
I'm sorry, but I'm not sure about this project at all. The concept could work, but this video didn't make feel hyped at all. I'll keep following and I wish you luck.
I enjoyed this week 5 video of "hype it". Your quick paced and engaging pitch through the use of images with very little talking leads the viewer to wonder more about the stories yet to be told. Well done and good luck in reaching the top 15!
Thanks for the compliment/comment Sadie.
I enjoyed watching the video from this week but after getting to the end I don't really know anything more about the show, not feeling hyped. I've liked your other stuff though so keep at it!
Loved this week's video. I can tell the footage that you have so far is just the foundation of the cake and that the scripts probably expand and showcase things so much more broadly and with continuity. Looking forward to when you guys complete your first few episodes! Betting CBC knows this and will take this in account when making the next cut. Creativity does trump budget and you guys are running an honest campaign!
I think it's great that you showed your characters off, but I would have liked to hear more about the concept of your show as that is what this weeks mission was leaning towards. If the media was to view this without seeing any of your other videos, I'm not sure if they would clearly grasp the concept of your show.
Nice work, the concept is decent and your videos are always funny. I want to find out more about what kind of show this would be!
Hi, guys. Good job on the video. It was compiled very well with all the clips and the music was very fitting. I am not sure how original this idea is, or how much of a following you can have if you win the competition, but what I see is a group of people enjoying what they are doing and having fun, so keep it up! Good luck!
Hey Kurtis, thank you for your positive feedback regarding this video. It has definitely been a fun process!
I love the interactions among your characters and the country club setting is spectacular. I think that you have lots of potential and hope that you will advance to the next round. Keep up the good work!
Hi Iris, Thank you for the nice comment and feedback. We really appreciate your support and interest in our team! We will keep trying our best until the bitter end!
Do you ever get the feeling that we could hold all of the comedy coup fans in one room. Its just me commenting from another project. Well done and good luck!
No, i
Although a mockumentary about a work place is not the most original idea out there, I do think you have an interesting enough location and cast to make it work. I like the deadpan humour featured. I don't know that this particular does enough to "hype" it to the media.
Hey Melanie, I am glad you see the potential in our location.
"Creativity trumps budget." Love that line. Julie has been one of my favourite characters in this competition from the start and I literally did a spit-take when she was miming in the background of one of your shots; watched it over again a couple times. Since I take the constructive criticism thing seriously, here goes: I'd love to see more of a cross-over/interaction with the kinds of folks that (stereo)typically frequent golf courses. Some old white dudes in bad pants and Tiger Woods wannabees getting their comeuppance would be brilliant!
Hey Kirk, thank you for your input, for future episodes we will have more "stereotypical" golfers and country club-like characters, however, we have been mainly focusing on helping our audience get a better feel for Emmett, Julie and Rachael first.
I'm happy Julie is one of your favorite characters, she is absolutely hilarious (in real life too).
I really like your location for a television show. There are so many things that are funny about a country club. The never ending parade of possible guests would be incredibly interesting and I'm looking forward to seeing more of the ideas your creative team comes up with. Congratulations on the top 15!!!
Tom! I am happy to see you can see the potential for funny at a country club!! We are planning on bringing in some pretty interesting characters as the show progresses!
Great video, was laughing at the clips from previous videos, the streak, sleeping in the garbage, all good stuff, i like how ya`s are not afraid to make fun of yourselves either. I wish I was closer, would be at your HYPE event on Friday for sure, Good luck and keep bringing the funny
Making fun of ourselves is what we do best!! Wish you were closer to Langley as welll, we are looking forward to Friday night! Thank you for the support.
Your video had me smiling. The little inserts were fun to watch, and the final delivery line,"I didn't know golf courses were so interesting"(or something like that) tied up your theme, wrapped it in a bow! I walked around a nearby course last summer a lot, and saw some drunk rich kids smash a cart into a tree. That was about it. Good luck!
Hey Linda, having worked at a golf course for bout 10 years I have definitely seen my fair share of rich kids crashing and/or falling out of golf carts as well! Appreciate the support, it is nice to know you are enjoying our videos and overall concept.
I like the idea and you three seem like pretty comical characters. I wish you had explained the show and your idea a little bit more for the hype project. Good luck!
Thanks for your feedback, Neda. And yes, we decided that we rather show "the people" what we are about rather than explain it - that's just our style. But if you want a bit more of an explanation, please check out our week 5 sell sheet; the synopsis of the show is on the first page :)
Seriousness is the new Funny?
this video was pretty well done. But the idea is not original and I am not sure if this video showcased why the media should follow you.
Loooooved it! It's a 'hole in one' in my books.
I loved it. I love you guys. You crack me up. Ur so damn serious. Is this a showcase of the true unseen parts of running a golf course??? I been to a couple courses in my short lifetime and I ain't seen any of this kinda stuff going on. Can I join this "Country Club". I think I'd fit right in
Well, the video was cute and there is some funny content. I am not sure how this will unfold every week. Seems like you showed everything you have in this teaser. Guess we will see?
Trust me, Debbie, there's a lot more where that came from :) Our show has many layers, which are hard to explain in such short videos because much of the humour builds off of previous events/situations/episodes; but you can check out our synopsis in our week 5 sell sheet for a bit more info.
Creative indeed.
A
I love it, this is my type of comedy. I really appreciate how you were able to showcase future episodes. The music is fantastic and like last week, the optional images are hilarious. Best of luck to The Country Club in making the cut.
