That was outrageous! well written, directed and acted. Keep it up! You've got my support.

J'adore votre sensé d'humeur et votre concept mais il faut montre plus sur des personnages. J'aime des prise de camera et les scènes de L'ile de Prince Edward. Bravo

I didn't like this video as much as the others you made, Think this may be the weakest but I know you guys will make something better than this.

Didn't Codco do this like 30 years ago? I think that there would have to be some redeeming quality to get me to watch something this dorky...so far I ain't found it here.

Some strong comments here. I am curious if there are other characters beside the two of you? Also, are things really that different on the other side of the country? Just curious.

I thought your video pretending the guys were talking about women only to find it was really boats was clever. Not so much subsequently and I have to agree with a prior commenter who objected to the caricatured nature of Atlantic Canadians.

It was a fair attempt to portray how you are different from the rest of the competitors in the field. It can be difficult to explain what sets one group apart from another in a way that is consistently funny. You may have slightly missed the mark this time but there is still a spark of promise there.

There isn't much character depth or definition, I would prefer to see the too brothers have specific personalities and traits rather than trying to loosely rely on the goofy stereotypes.

J'ai bcp aimé ça. ton sense d'humour me parle quand meme. Je voulais savoir (juste pour le fun) si y'avait bcp de gens comme vous autre chez vous à l'ile de prince eduoard. J'imagine que oui! Bonne chance les fifis!

Some cute gags, but just overly reliant on stereotypes and the quality just isn't there. Trailer park boys at least had some really interesting characters to go with setting.

I enjoy the weird guys of Wharf Rats and think the stereotypical goofy man from PEI is a catch clone.
We see the dope scene all too much and the booze aspect is pushed at us all the time.
If we are to see true comedy then loose the booze and drugs and show how men of low esteem can grow daily and encounter weird thoughts and behavior as they grow up.
Men encountering lack of work can actually be written to a comedic activity with hope and gratitude
for perspiring to go back to grade school..

Agreed. As a Maritimer, this stuff is truly offensive now. The rest of the country already thinks of us as lazy and near stupid - that attitude even ends up in our national politics and policies. It's like Polish jokes or Newfie jokes, long past their prime. As clever as some of the gags are, they shouldn't have made it out of the baiting shed.

Honestly I don't want to see another show that puts Canadian's in that stereotypical light from the fisherman stuff to the accents it's just not an accurate depiction of what Canada is in its entirety its only a small part of it. And also the fish thing was not cool....:(

I thought was very original and very funny. You guys have great comedic skills. You guys seem to work together perfectly. Also interesting way to include fish in your video.

I love your guy esthetic, its beautifully shot and its fun to watch. I want to know more about these characters.

love it: jiggin' for cod whilst perchin in in tighty whiteys. Island life never looked so appealing to a come-from-away. Sure hope yer Dad got the parcel

Wharf Rats, you seem to have a very likeable show idea here! I like your characters but I hope you have some less stereotypical east coasters in the cast to balance things out. Good luck guys!

This makes me so uncomfortable yet... so comfortable.

Good luck in moving forward, you guys are ridiculous.

There is a whole lot of naked dudes in this video, which appeals to some I suppose. I want to see more of the comedy from the east coast. thank you for the effort.

Well done and congratulations on making your week three mission. Good luck moving forward in the contest. I will wait and watch who wins.

Fish slapping is something we need more of on television, and I'm glad to see someone else sharing my opinion. Love the videos, guys, you're hilarious, keep up the good work, and can't wait to see what's next!

'by Christ, I can see myself watching this show!

Making it to top 15 for sure! Love it

Wow! I liked it. Surprised I was- and happily so.

I could watch this all day, you guys are really funny! I'm Sure you will make it to the top 15 no problem! This type of humor is so simple and broad enough to win over almost anyone. Keep up the great work!

Love the modified use of a perch. Candle I'm the box was worth a laugh. Not sure how far this idea can branch out but I'm sure you guys do. Looking forward to the next installment. Keep it going.

Brilliant guys!!! Keep up the great work:) I'm rooten for ya's!

u guys rule!!! Too funny LOL!

Have enjoyed your take on comedy and see lots of room for development. I agree with Mary Ann's comments about the use of potty humour can only take you so far and that in small does it doesn't hurt, large amounts may. Hope you take the comment in the spirit in which it was offered. Look forward to your progress.

Way to bend the rules of the diferentiator to suit your needs, looks strong, does remind me of the "Beachcombers" a bit.

My hats off to ya's, we'll be seeings you guys in the top 50 tonight, make sure ya's have a big ol'slurp of beer as in the flavour of RUM as a celebration , cheers

ahhhhhh wharf rats, the mythical wharf rats, you know i found you because i searched for comedy coup and there you guys were on google.

It was okay, I'm not sure about the character development through the series. Also, I think production needs some improvement. Some parts are a bit disturbing so not sure what demographic it's aimed towards.

Looking forward to seeing your entry for the next mission !!

Brilliant!

Great Name, very Canadiana. Cute concept.

If I had to guess, and I've been known to make guesses sometimes, I'd say this place will be made into a TV comedy sometime soon.

I have a hard time believing that this show has a lot of potential depth. It's good on the surface but I can't help but feel like there is still a lack of long term plan for how this show and is characters can evolve. How this project has a ton of views is beyond me

Hi Fellas,
So does it help to know something about your commenters? Just in case, I am a white 65 year old female, married for 41 years. Oh and I am an artist and love comedy. Having said all that, my comments are coming from that angle.
Ok, I got several good laughs watching your videos. Good delivery with lots of funny surprises. Loved the lobster race, but maybe it could have been funnier if the lobsters were backwards...isn't that the way they get their speed in the water. Also liked the brewing of the mushrooms and having it our of china cups, good contrast....didn't see that coming..
I think that using sex and potty humour should be VERY limited as it looses it effectives if used too often. It needs to be a surprise to be funny. Like an intense spice. Sparingly.
Their accents were light enough that I was able to get every word....but they still had that down east flavour.
It has made me want to visit PEI. I am ashamed to say it is the only province I haven't visited.
It'll be interesting to see where you go with this.
Good Luck.

Really not seeing why this is the most popular project. So many other good projects without ugly naked guys, and actual good writing. And fish slapping? Python did that over 40 years ago.

These guys have something good here! At first the humour left me cold but I have since come to appreciate it's style, something fresh and unexpected. The characters are great and have won me over!

Must be something in the water, all these teams from P.E.I are super awesome and funny. Great job guys

Some good east coast humour here, really like the show and can see you guys winning for sure! Very funny and unique.

People are going crazy for this project and I get it. It has a unique voice and it`s funny.

clearly some dedication put into this project
like some people, the humour is not quite my cup of tea; but good luck

Coming from the east coast I know exactly how great perch is for washing with.

Nice video Calculator Brain!

Just great

It just keeps getting better and better. And by that I mean my bodies reactions to the nudity of Dennis. At first it was just a flush and a bit of a tingle. Now it's like I'm hopped up on Viagra and Phermones!!!

Slap Stick and Nudity, not for me. Would not think it is appropriate for CBC Prime Time either. Where will this go week to week. The content is not that funny.

you guys have managed to drum up quite a bit of buzz for your show! Good on ya! I think you'll go very far in the competition. I have the same criticism as everyone else tho, hard to relate if ur not a good ol' east coaster

love these guys!!! Best videos are from P. E. I.

Maritime pride! Keep going guys, show'em what the maritimes are made of. Woohoo! or something.

I support all the people from the maritimes. It's not really my type of comedy though. keep up the good work.

After I watched the video and went to comment I saw James H. comment below mine and it was exactly what I was going to say! I think it may be a bit too East Coast for me to be able to relate as a West Coaster.

Must be an east coast thing. dont get me wrong, some of it was funny, but doesnt seem like my cup of tea. Good luck in the competition.

Careful there, yer box is smokin

Great concept, love the characters, and the pacing of the show. I would love to see stronger female representation. You must know some babes?

Yes for sure, perch skin is the best skin for skin. Love this video...lvoe these guyses.

This is my favourite of your videos yet

Looks pretty funny. Not too worried about the dynamics of each character as that is something that will come across more in 30 minutes. Fish stick deodorant for the win.

It's cute. I agree with some other comments that the characters aren't especially dynamic. Might need some other characters to keep it interesting.

Keep'n up with your progress, as well as the other Island team, has put me on the Superfan Leader Board, I want that Uberfan title as bad as you guys want the Comedy Coup title, keep showing them PEI's got the winning team

Love the concept. Last show I watched that main setting was on the wharf was The Beachcombers. They had a pretty good run. Surely the East coast can do as good or better.

Can't wait to see what's next!

Keep 'em coming, fellas. Geez, that ass is getting loads of screen time!

On one hand I can see how there is something universal here, but I think comedy that relies on a rather one-dimensional stereotype/character isn't strong enough comedy to hold up an ongoing series .

lol

Great Job :)

You guys are by far my favourite !! I love the contrast of the three video's even though the concept isn't at the forefront I trust your team can bring it home !! Just fantastic.

I wanted to comment that this show doesn't look as good as Just Passing Through, but after watching the video i think both teams are on the same level. Good luck with the competition.

A little too folksy for me. Plus the nudity may no be suitable for prime time CBC audience. Are there other characters beside the two wharf rats because it will get rather boring if these are the only ones on the show week after week. In addition to expanding your cast I would suggest a chance of scenery would also add some pizazz. As much as I love to see the ocean and sand, these fellows must have another place that they go home to at night. I don't think smoking sure be promoted on prime time television. Good luck with your project.

Every one of your videos makes me laugh! Your writing, along with the straight-up delivery, is great. Thanks.

It's good but I don't think it is the best one out there. Maybe it is an eastern humour sort of thing?

I love this video! At first it's not obvious about how this videos describes what makes you different, but that's part of the charm. I love how your team isn't obvious, that you've been keeping that theme throughout all of your videos. But, this video does show how you're different, how you have heart, how you have a great backdrop, and how you're utterly shameless. I can't wait for next week's mission, to see what you guys do with the posters!

Hahahaha, love the burning care package! Dontcha know you're supposed ta blow out the candle first, ya stunned arseholes! :-)

I think straight up democracy would be better than this. But we're suppose to comment on other people's posts and some people are just ridiculous douche bags pretending to be other people…but this is me…so I can dump all my votes on myself…saying you guys make me laugh while I gag…which I think you like. so cheers. I'll take the ferry over to meet ya sometime…and get that flipper pie on the go will ya?!

I found that out of your three videos this one seemed to relate to your synopsis (of basically two brothers trying to get their inheritance) the best. The first 2 videos really confused me, I wasn't quite sure how they related, seemed extremely random. Good luck in the competition, you guys are definitely unique!

I love your brand of East Coast humour, and I think you are the best of the rest in terms of that style. If Randy Justice can't make it, then I hope you guys do. I give this video two beers cheersin'.

I was hoping for more skin, and you guys delivered the goods!

Best one yet boys!!!

Robbie and Dennis, you guys are just too funny!!!

I've said it before and I'll say it again, THIS HAS TO GET MADE!

Good on ya boys! Keep it up and bring home the cup! er Coup

So I found your first video super funny, I wish you guys tons of luck, even though this last video was definitely more "boy humour" and not my thing. :) Hope you make it anyways!

Sweet jig boys!

love you accents! its almost like a nfld accent but slightly different. love how fast your edits are.
definetly keeps your attention throughout the whole clips. i could do without the old man nudity
but a few cheap laughs are good i guess.

You are right, a place like that has never been made into a TV comedy before. Good luck guys, a beautiful backdrop, and I love the 'country mouse going into the city' aspect that you showed in previous trailers. Eastern accents are also excellent, lol

ARSE HOLE! This will be awesome

Good luck fellers! I really hope YARNS wins but you guys are cool too......I guess. Last night I had a dream that I was on a boat and you guys were crying while watching me sail by. I was dressed like a captain and Robbie and Dennis had on children's Spiderman costumes that were too small for them. I then reached into my pocket and pulled out a baseball bat and an apple and hit a home run! Weird dream right? I'm a great athlete......
Dom - YARNS

VOTE WHARF RATS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like the concept of the Eastern Comedy Feel

also more bum shots!

I kind of am in love with you guys:)! We (Charlie and Yoni team) are rooting for you guys can we come and hang out with you for like a week.. you guys a re hilarious.

This is my fav vid yet. I almost wish you were going to pull a Red Green maneuver and narrate most of the show. Almost.

Interesting idea, but it sounds a bit familiar, have you ever heard of The Beachcombers, it's been done before and on CBC as well.

Great job guys, good luck with the voting !

Love pei Would love to see the scenery Not sure this would have the substance tho to stand up week after week but I hope you make it to the next round so u can prove me wrong

I think ''Wharf Rats" stands out as a concept that truly captures the essence of what can be off kilter, smart, edgy, and still have some range of emotion within its comedy core. That said, it stands along some other really great ideas. Good going Comedycoup for developing this platform, to highlight the range of funny in this country!

This show concept is just outrageous enough,remarkably simple to understand and shows that it has heart. Something you don't find in a lot of comedies these days.

I was expecting the care package to light on fire and it was still funny when it happened. Love it!

Proving once again that nudity sells! Really liked the care package angle. I'm curious how the conflict and originality will be sustained, but I'm sure you've got that all figured out. Enjoyed it!

I don't care what these old geezer dudes are saying ! Keep up the great work lads love from Ontario !

I have to say I some what agree with Adrian that you can only make so many jokes about fisherman and the bumbling brothers While the accents and such do attract my attention I am not sure I would be able to hold my interest over a extended period of time for a weekly comedy show maybe people thought the same when Beachcombers came out which was a show I grew up with. So good luck to you both.

Hey Dennis, if you and the lads ever need rival brothers from Cape Breton showing up, you need look no further as me the bro have Caper roots! A wealth of material worth "mining". Stay fresh and be dirty ya funny arses!!

The teaser was funny but predicable. I don't see much movement in this show. There are only so many jokes you can make about being fishermen. Try to focus on something else that represents Newfoundland. Good luck.

Good execution of the mission, gentlemen. The leads are likeable and everyone loves a good east coast accent

Very charming and tasteful bursts of proud nudity. The exterior shots explored scenic bleak. Loved the care package being assembled, had everytING a proud dad would want. You guys have a real shot at the pot, great work!

Loving the east coast feel of this show boys. I'm excited to see what a full episode of this show will look like. Lots of potential. Good luck in the top 50!

there are def a lot of dedication in creating this show; though, i would like to see more smart jokes rather than sexist jokes; but its just my opinion, seems many people likes penis joke

I'd watch this for more years than Beachcombers ran! Great job, funny shit, huge potential!

Hey guys, like many of the other top 110, you seem to have missed the point of this week's mission. After watching this, I'm not really sure what makes you guys different from any of the other contestants besides the fact that you live by a wharf. If you continue on, try and make sure that you do what the mission asks. Good luck.

Great job guys!! I look forward to this each week!! This vid had me laughing especially at "Hughie's" dandy dance moves and even brought a tear to my eye listening to the narration lol...I love East Coast living and looking forward to next week!!

Having The Alpine Oracle on your team can't be fair, he's an oracle they can see the future. Does that mean he know if you've won or lost?

Innovative work with my dick joke, gentleman! Show the dick, don't talk about the dick. Well done indeed.

I like the characters and the specificity of the humour. Perhaps it's just a limitation of 90 seconds, but I don't really get a sense of what the show could become and what situations these characters could find themselves in. It's funny stuff though.

Well boys you sure know how to pack 15lbs of bait in a 10lb bag!

Hey guys, great job on the submissions so far! Love the narrative style of this week's entry. As a kid I once threw a bottle with a note in it into the water up in Naufrage. It burst into flames too.

East cost livin'

I think that there are or have been many shows like this on the CBC. They are funny but this is just more of the same.

Haha I love it,

As a BCer and ALSO a proud Canadian (before one jumps to assumptions of the contrary...) I find niche Canadiana themes to be... boring (see: "Red Green Show" "Corner Gas" "Little Mosque..." to name a few). Now, that doesn't mean they don't belong on television in SOME capacity, nor does that mean they are bad shows. It would just be great if something refreshingly original AND not so Provincial or specific to such a small demographic was given some play. I think this show would do well broadcast on a CBC Maritime, or CBC P.E.I. if such a thing even existed. I really don't see something like this breaking in the national scope or to a wider audience than what it is based in - Maritime humour. That being said I have LOL'd at several of the PEI Encyc vids these guys have made...

the characters aren't bad and I like the Canadian feel but not sure if this is an exciting enough idea. I didn't really get a feel of what exciting things could happen and I'm not sure if I would tune in.

that's some fine painting boys!

I dont see how a show based on a bu ch of canadian stereotypes can last for long. I mean sure this could be fumny for 4 or 5 episodes but I dont think the character are complex enough to make a whole shoe out of it. And I dont understand how this video was suppose to answer to the mission of the week. I hope you prove me wrong in your future videos

I love you guys!!!

Consistently enjoy your writing! I prefer the other videos to this one, but I still found this one fun and funny. I would like to see some more story tho.

The first couple of videos were pretty good, but this one doesn't have the momentum the other ones had. Maybe I was expecting it to match this week's mission. I kept waiting to see what makes you different, but I didn't really see it here. This was basically a mini-episode, and that's not what the missions are all about.

Great drama comedy video this time boys, glad to see ya's found a good use for the perch and I'm pretty sure I've seen a lot of those dance moves at the ol'Bloomfield legion on any given Saturday night, keep practicing Hughie, Great stuff!!!!

When will you skip the dick jokes? Thats what keeps sticking out at me. Lots of chauvinist comedy on tap in the coup.

You had me at Fishsmack

funny and sad. complexity in 90 seconds.

What a great videos guys! It's kinda sad, but in the good, storytelling sort of way.
