Holy Crap This Sucks!
cindyapples7 June 2015
I thought it was a U.S. sketch show import that was airing on the Comedy Network in Canada but now that I have come on here I see that it is Canadian (French Canadian to be exact) and I am not surprised at all by that fact, in fact it explains so much as to why this show sucks so hard because Canadian networks have a history of producing really very bad comedy shows (and burying/canceling any good ones that pop up at least ever since Kids in the Hall or Corner Gas was pretty good too if you're into that kind of humor). It's very sad that something like this is on TV.

Decent enough premise of short skits that all have no dialogue but the problem is they forgot to make any of them funny--- like ANY of them! Every single thing I've seen in six episodes, and that's a lot of stuff considering how short the skits are, has been eye roll inducing it is all so awful.

A woman needs a light by the pool so the guy starts pulling stuff out of his shorts which couldn't possibly fit. Hilarious right? So hilarious it just kept going on and on. That's the pinnacle of funny on this show.

Huge pass. I give it a 2 because it's not as bad as some other Canadian TV comedies.

Dialogue-free sketch comedy
Livewire24213 May 2012
I'm always amazed when something this good comes out, because often it seems like all the good ideas have already been taken, and newer shows are simply derivative (if not outright remakes) of older shows. This show is simply made up of dozens of mini-sketches, with absolutely no dialogue. The lack of dialogue serves two purposes: It enhances the visual gags, and it allows the producer to market this show in any country in the world with no changes.

The style is often similar to Mr. Bean or Benny Hill, but with a definite French sensibility. One striking aspect of the show is the use of exotic filming locations, such as The Grand Canyon, or a beach in Morocco. It would have been simpler to use green screens, but the authenticity of the sets demonstrates passion. This show rises above simple sketch comedy into the domain of art.

Courageous Attempt But A Bad Show
cleavantderricks1 May 2018
This sketch comedy show is just very bad. I don't have anything else to say other than that really. There's pretty much no dialog and all the sketches are very short but it is way worse than it sounds because none of them are very funny and are just straight up bad usually. Never laughed at it. I give it a 4 because it is unique and a different thing to try to do and must have been hard. It just didn't work which is too bad.

Brilliantly funny
vinaywashere5 February 2020
No clue why this series has got such a dismal rating here (only 3.6 out of 10 as on 09:30 GMT, 5th Feb 2020!). Just stumbled upon it today on Youtube and couldn't stop laughing and embarking upon a binge! I guess the fact that the audiences of today can't appreciate such beautiful simplicity goes to show the poor quality of the general public intelligence of today, rather than anything about this well-made, high-witted, simple fun of a show!

Warning: Spoilers
I don't find this Show funny at all the Producer did a horrible making this Show these Actors are Like a Silent Film From Charley Chaplin in the 1920's that they don't talk at all and I think these producers should fired them and have better Comedian producers and bring it to America Because we can make it Funnier

Shut off your brain and enjoy it
meinganzes-leben17 August 2023
I found this show available on youtube under the name "LOL ComediHa!"

I think this show is brilliant. Sometimes, the sketches are so silly that they make me laugh, and other times they are quite smart. My point is, if you're watching this type of show, it's better to shut off your brain and just enjoy it.

After a work day, this is exactly what I need: a silly nonsense show. The acting by all the actors and actresses is top-notch. You don't understand how challenging it is to express something that everybody can understand without having to use a meaningful sentence. Also, the scenes take place in multiple locations, which gives me the feeling that I'm actually traveling there. In my opinion, it's much better than stand-up comedy nowadays where most of the topics are racism, LGBT, s*x, ...

Great job.
