I have no constructive criticism. I love everything about this, I love the premise, the jokes, the people, holy f*ck nuggets this needs to be a thing. Omg the shotgun joke, the Plants vs Zombies zombie on the hockey table (I love me my gambling), everything is, just, like, wow.
Please promote more, oh gawd, how is this not rated 10/10 all the time?
Please give us a look over, too! I'm part of The Troupe, out of SK.
Sorry, I'm still laughing. I seriously am in love with this project. All the thumbs up and high fives and hockey butt slaps.
PS: I super choked at the Harper Denies Zombie Apocalypse thing. Dude denies everything, I almost died. <3

oh hey this is all right. very patriotic with the hockey stuff. not really liking the fact that you guys just go all out to compare yourselves to other shows and get dudes in it, i dont care about those shows, i dont care about a mash-up, i want to see original content. keep it comin though
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!
Insane!
Congrats! This is a cool zombie concept. Zombie riffic! Good work on getting things done!! Hope you make it further.
I do love a good zombedy.
Zombie parody and Canadian talent. You had me at zombie. Hope the celebs are into it. Good luck guys
Everything about this SCREAMs Canadian TV. My hope is that it goes the way of Zombieland, and not shitty Canadian TV. That would be sad. GOod luck!
That is my hope as well - thanks for the comment!
This is a gooder. Zombies! !!
Right?!
True north strong and free. Too bad zombies can't vote.
Unless there is some incantation in the necronomicon
I have a better idea of what this show will be about now. I love the idea. I'm addicted to the serious zombie movies and shows, I wants more funny!!!
Thanks! Glad the point came across - also I love border collies!
Do we really need another Zombie show? Let along a Canadian one? This had too much talking about what you want to do and not showing enough of you actually doing it.
Fair enough, but one can argue that we don't really need a lot of shows because their concepts have been done before or are currently being done now. If a genre has a great fan base, then why can't fans provide stories to that genre? I would have loved to show more in our video, but to get our point across while achieving our week's mission in 90 seconds was a bit of a challenge. I believe that in the time allotted to us we did the best we could (and got to play with an table top ice hockey game).
I think this is an awesome idea! A good way to feature Canadian Celbs and locations. Lots of room to be funny and nostalgic and the same time! GOOD LUCK!!!!
Thanks for the luck! Canadian nostalgia FTW!
I like Zombies
Me too
This is a great blend of comedy and horror. The mockumentary style is also a great way to tell the story. I can definitely see my kids watching this show but I wonder if it would appeal to the older CBC crowd.
Fun for the whole family I say! I think the overall humour will be accessible to everyone, but I think the older crowd will have chuckle when some of the jokes reference Zit Remedy and the Bird-Lady.
Not super sold on the Canadian celeb cameo aspect. Doesn't seem significant enough of a thing to make such a big deal about. Loved the tabletop hockey game device though.
Glad you liked the table top game analogy.
I absolutely love the idea of this! As a zombie fan I've often wondered how to zombie apocalypse might play out in Canada. Not to mention I love the idea of Canadian celeb cameos!
Thank you! I've alway wondered that myself - any big budget disaster film seems to always forget Canada.
It's like a walking dead meets great white north! I love how you used the hockey table and pop figures (especially rob zombie - well played) keep up the good work eh.
Thanks! Glad you liked Mr Zombie's "cameo"
would have liked to see more action in this weeks video
Thanks for the comment!
the table hockey analogy is fantastic well done guys!
Thanks Steve! Good luck with Wasted!
The shotgun line still gets me laughing
Thanks!
Very funny content with a lot to offer. This would make a great, series I'm such a fan. What's next from you guys!!!! Great work love it
Thanks Ted! Glad you liked.
I really enjoyed the quality of the video in terms of the table hockey analogy, well played! You guys seem to really be leaning on the cameo concept to keep interest going, which could be a problem?
Thanks for the comment (and pun). I see your point about it possibly being a problem, but we're leaning on our story to keep interest going - (characters, funny zombies, an apocalyptic Canadian pop culture background, etc.) We hope any Canadian cameo/celebrity we get is a result of them being drawn into the world we created (as well as having an awesome sense of humour).
Meh as well.
To each their own
Meh...
...smerizing. I know, right?
I thought it was really clever how you went about answering this weeks mission. I also like how you keep it very Canadian and leave it open for others to join in on the action. It must be hard to write a zombie comedy, especially since they are generally portrayed as something scary than something funny. Good luck with you project and getting through to the next round of the competition!
My take is WSTR will be 'a comedy with Zombies' rather than a black comedy. Personally, I look at the TreeHouse of Horror Halloween episodes of 'The Simpsons' for inspiration in making funny spoofs of scary topics.
Thanks Christina for the great comment! Now a days, it does seem like zombies are generally a scary thing - our hope is to poke fun at the genre's troupes (out of love), while drawing inspiration from funnier zombies, like the ones found in "Return of the Living Dead" etc.
I really like how you made this video! It explains your difference, while being different itself! Good job! Hope to see more :)
Thanks Willy! Glad you liked it.
Different!
Thanks Ryan! Hopefully the latest video explained what we hope to accomplish and wasn't confusing.
Great Job
Like it. The cross-country zombies is a good idea. A bit contrived though, it is a bit inside-jokey for people whom love all the CBC programming, I don't watch all those shows like Corner Gas and Rick Mercer... something like I don,t know, maybe if they just fight Canadian cultural figures? Laura Secord? But the cross-country zombie thingy has me interested, good luck guys!
Thanks for the comment - we're hoping to make something thats dripping with Canadian pop culture, history, and nostalgia! We've been throwing around ideas for Canadian cultural figures, both contemporary and historical.
I love zombies and satire and meta-ness. A+
Really like the work you put into the mini-hockey table set-up, looks wicked. Very clever way of showing your idea, well done!
Just the greatest thing ever
YES! A cross-country Canada road trip with zombies and celebrity cameos? Make it happen! Nice touch having the zombie players rise through the holes of the table top hockey game. Great job all!
I bet the puppeteer for this video is really good looking
Seriously great job, guys!
Wow - thank you for the comments! Just checked out The Troupe's differentiator video... Loved the Eradicator joke
Thanks! <3
Neat mission video. Very creative and clarified the concept a little more as well. Props

True north strong and free. Are zombies free or are the trapped by their condition?
Defnatley once you get some good cameos for this it will take off really well
Not a problem at all! Ya big creeper! <3
That would be awesome - what kind of cross-country show would we be if we didn't attract like minded Canadian filmmakers? Thank you so much for the FB post!
I want to say all the nice things! I actually cannot get over this, I even shared the video on my Facebook. Oh my lanta. At the end of this contest, if we've all tanked, I would love to collaborate and help to make this a thing. It's brilliant.
That's some really nice stuff you said and it is very appreciated !!!
