Congratulations on making it to the Top 55! You guys are doing a great job at keeping in the run and really showing great enthusiasm over your project. I really believe in you guys and want to see this thru to the end. Best of luck moving into the top 15.
Thanks so much Dan!! Even though we didn't win we are continuing our momentum and moving forward with our concept and adjusting it with all the great feedback we have been getting. We will continue to post updates and new material on our facebook and twitter.
this is quite similar to several other plots out there. some of the ideas are funny but do not seem original. maybe things will progress in a more interesting way.
Hi Kathleen sorry for this late reply, well, granted the survival plot aspect has been done with zombies so it is how we tell the story. The flashbacks are one idea and so forth. It is like Tarantino, all his films are homages as he says to films he grew up watching it is just how he tells the story in his own way which makes them great. There are other projects in this competition where I have seen before, it is just in how you tell them.
Zombies and Stonners? Sign me up. Funny show with great cast. Hoping this shit makes it on the CBC or any other network. What a great concept and take on a genre that needs life that is totally opposite the walking dead. Good luck guys.
I love this concept. Zombies are all the craze and their isn't much comedy shows that show a cast like this. Very diverse and funny as hell. I'm just thinking of all the funny things that can happen on this show and I'm already loving it. Hope you guys make it to the top 15.
Wasted!
i dont't think you guys are all that much different, because zombie stuff has been done...and we all love to toke a little tokey but is this a comedy for stoners or for all of canada to enjoy?
Hi William sorry I saw this comment so late. As for who this is for, I think we are for all of Canada. You don't have to toke to enjoy this series. As much as I don't have to drink to enjoy Always Sunny in Philadelphia. It is just one part of the whole ensemble
I like the concept of the show a lot and there's tons of room to parody modern culture in an apocalyptic setting...
OMG i love the blue in your hair. You see a lot of people trying to do that but its rare to make it look good. Props on the cool gun prop. Looks real but then again I know nothing about guns.
haha thank you! and yes it was a prop gun, glad to hear its passable for real. ^^
I just think that this is not very funny even though for the most part it is well done from a quality of filming viewpoint. I am not sure if it is a question of the performers or writing or looking at all of it as a whole or it could be the zombie saturation the other comment talked about.
Hey David thank you for the honest comments back and I'm glad you have these feelings towards our show. It makes us understanding that not everyone is going to get it and how do we change that.
This show looks pretty funny, but I agree with the comment below about the under use of what could be a kick ass female protagonist. Also, after having seen the differentiator video, I'm still not totally clear about how this series is very unique in its take on the zombie comedy craze.
Hey Louise, what will be unique is through how we tell the story, and, trust me, the female protagonist will be totally kick ass and not under used.
These guys are funny and I dont know why people say it can't go anywhere in terms of concept. I mean yeah the walking dead became a bit boring for some but a) first it was an amazingly successful comic and show and b) this is not the walking dead!
So I think that you have an interesting concept but I'm not seeing it developed enough at this stage of the competition. I would move past describing the show to us and do a 90 second bit that shows us why its fun, exciting and funny.
Hi John thanks for the comments. That was an idea but we were just following the rules about what are the factors that makes us different. Could we have done some other things to make it more fun? Sure and thanks for pointing it out
I wish zombies weren't so overplayed because this is a fun concept for a show. I think there could be more jokes, but I'm just being picky. good job!
Never be picky my friend :)
Zombies and ganja like what more do you want?? Good work friends! Canada's gonna get Wasted!!
I wish the lady had more of a crucial role, right now it's pretty boy's club-esque. But still, as far as zombie shows go, a comedic theme might do really well. I actually laughed at the scene where the car blows up, nice one.
Hey Snap! Thank you for your feedback! I'm thee lady in the series, and i do have a much larger role. I play one of the lead characters these zombie fanboys look up to. I train them and teach them techniques how to survive. This series has so much potential for growth, especially adding more characters along the way, including more kickass women!. - Team Wasted
I think this show has the right edge to make younger audiences like myself tune in on a weekly basis
While I've never really been into the whole Zombie craze, it might be more enjoyable as a comedy. I do suppose it's common knowledge that killing Zombies requires a women's touch, lol
Absolutely
I like the concept of people who are actually kind of jazzed about the zombie apocalypse. Looking forward to hearing more about the mix of sex and religion.
Hard to pull off a good Zombie comedy show, will wait and see if you make it into the top 50
The more I watch your videos, then win me over, just increased your rating, good stuff, keep'r going
Just saw this video now. Love the direction this is going in. Keep up the good work. I will be pulling for all of you!!
Saw you guys at the Zombie Walk. Love the idea and LOVE Zombies. Hope to see you all at the Horror Expo. Best of luck to all of you and I will be looking forward seeing what you gut for us next!!
Thanks much appreciated dude! If you were in costume check out our facebook page and tag yourself
Awesome this is just up my alley. Good luck
Thanks Kate!
I'm not much for zombies, but if this was genuinely funny and therefore lessened my fear, I would back it.
Thanks Fanny much appreciated!
This is awesome! Funny dudes that's like my buddies and a hot strong girl who can handle a shot gun! Great stuff wanna see this boys
Thats the idea dude
I'm liking the creativity you guys used to show us how you're different. Wish you guys the best in the next round!
Thanks Arun we want to be as creative as possible
very non genuinly fun. idk, more jokes that hit guys.
We're gonna try our best so that you come out laughing
Well you're in a hot market! The zombie genre needs to stop taking itself so seriously, and this could be the Canadian show that manages to pull it off!
Love the cast, too, some seriously funny actors.
Wishing your project lots of success. The actors seem legitimately funny.
By all accounts this project truly promises to deliver a winning combination of what we all need. Booze, dope, zombies and hot gothy lookin' chicks with big guns... high art, people... HIGH ART ;)
I liked this without the zombies. I hope I love it with Zombies.
Would love to see this project as an ongoing series. Good luck!
zombies and green....FEEL IT!
Very interesting!
funny stuff
It would be pretty hilarious to see a show about weed on CBC prime time. I would definitely watch it! Best of luck to you guys in this competition!
Scarborough represent. I wonder what landmarks I'll be able to recognize. Really interested in how you do your sfx, legit and still campy which fits the tone. Blaze up. One Love.
I felt this was a very interesting project. I also liked this video best of the three. I hope you get thought the next round as I am really curious to see where this is going to go. Best of luck in this round!
This is your best video of the three. I like the way all the segments flows together and giving me a clear overview of what the show is about. Put more zombies in the next one!
Great effort - But i feel like this was more of a summary than what what actually jokes you have to tell. Very well produced though!
Like the angle. Glad the booze made it out of the apocalypse!
booze will always make it out! LIke life, it finds a way
Looks cool!
you look cool too!
Yeah, if an actually zombie apocalypse was going to happen in real life, this is pretty much what i would do.
you're on the team!!!
A multicultural zombie comedy needs to on TV. I hope you guys continue to impress.
Interesting concept, but I was hoping this video would explain to me more how your concept is different than Shaun of the Dead. After watching your first video I made that connection quite quickly between the shows (not that that's a bad thing, Shaun of the Dead was a great/hilarious movie), I was just expecting something different that's all. Good work with everything you've done so far, and good luck in the competition!
Hi Christina yeah Shaun of the Dead is a big influence on us. There is so much to Wasted that it is hard to put into 90 seconds as we cover everything from music, videogames, comics, tv, movies, anime, into this show but we just want to give the basics first. Get us into the Top 50 we'll show you more :)
Nice job fellas! Are there going to be some acid flashbacks into the future!?
oh you betcha!!!
I get it! You're mixing a bunch of stuff together I like the flashback idea to show the characters. this video is awesome BTW
YES DUDE!!! We're mixing and matching to make something REAL KICKASS!!!!
i don't know if this is different from many shows i've seen in the past. the zombie thing has been rehashed for years now. for sure, everyone loves it, just like they love superhero movies and what not...but i really wonder what can be mined from it that hasn't already been done. i'll be watching your future videos dudes!
Yes, the zombie thing has been done for so long, but, we got a different take on it trust me! It all comes to the Characters. Thanks for watching and PLEASE VOTE!!! If you want to see more vids HA!
I'm tired of zombies...Overdone material. You guys are great actors, super funny and you have a talented camera crew. But I'm not sold on zombie comedy being different. Especially if you're just going to spoof zombie horror films for the whole series.
Hi Ben, thank you for the kind words. The intention is not to spoof zombie horror films, it is to create a comedic version of The Walking Dead. Think if Shaun of the Dead was a series. I understand that, yes, there is a lot of zombie material, but, it can be done right. And the best zombie material is about the people involved, not the actual zombies.
Are we going to see any Zombies? I'm not convinced that this is a Zombie apocalypse, there needs to be that element of fear even in a comedy. Like the female heavy.
There are plenty of zombies in our Trailer have a look http://comedycoup.cbc.ca/wasted/trailer
Thank you guys for your continued support! We will push this as hard as we can for you! And hopefully with our fingers crossed, along with you guys CBC will pick us!
Good stuff!
Continues to impress me each week :)
Videos look great with good production value and seems like it will be exciting. Zombie shows seem to be quite popular these days and I am not sure what will set this particular show apart from the rest.
The fact that it takes place in Canada.... lol no really, it's blend of a lot of things, raunchy jokes, stoners you think would fuck everything up... well for the most part they do, but they learn and grow. Plus their influence is chick. Through out the show we have flash backs what lives were like before which leaves the door open for endless possibilities, you'll see
I like this format! It is new, unique and your showcase of diversity is refreshing. I hope ComedyCoup and the CBC are taking notice. I don't think they have a show full of different characters like this one
I don't really see where you are going with this; I can see you are having fun doing these videos. Is this what CBC Comedy Coup wants to see, Zombies? I know many people like Zombie movies but it is not my favorite. Good luck!
Hi Monique thank you for engaging and commenting. Yes many people like Zombies and many do not. All the best shows & movies about Zombies, like The Walking Dead, are really about the people. That is our focus as mentioned our show is a mix of Modern Family, Pineapple Express and Walking Dead. It is about the people who live in this zombie world.
I wonder where they are going to go with this show, it seems to have a lot going on.
Hey James, the possibilities are endless! If we get that prime time slot you will see there is a direction :)
Anything with zombies has my vote... and love.
I definitely think this film can win the whole competition. I plan to follow this film on a daily and weekly basis to see how it progresses.
Really cool concept and an awesome take on the Zombie film genre. Good luck guys
you have our love :)
Click click boom! I like :)
Diversity is the cast AND strong female representation? Keep up the good work.
Thanks and this is not to make a point
these are our friends in real life and that is what this show is about
