This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place
View Morea film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

View MoreAll of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
View MoreThis show wasn't so bad it was like a fake documentary (or mocumentary) about this band who think they're the bomb and the people around them. It wasn't great but wasn't bad either.
View MoreThis show was a good idea and I don't mind the actors in it but the writing just is not there and some of the jokes were just really painfully unfunny. Shame cuz the idea was good.
View MoreCock'd Gunns is not a bad premise for a television show, especially when your goal is to make a cheap Canadian television show. Canadian TV comedy is pretty awful for the most part, the comedy channel has a lot of really horrible shows but Showcase seems to have a good feeling for what is funny. They made Trailer Park Boys (I understand if you don't like it but you can't argue that it is one of the biggest cult/smash comedy hits in recent years on Canadian comedy television) and other decent shows like The Corporation and Billable Hours. So when Cock'd Gunns was on this channel from public access Rogers TV I thought it would be worth a watch, it is mockumentary/comedy documentary style very much inspired by movies like Spinal Tap, and apparently a lot of it is supposed to be improvised. You can tell because the show is so disappointing and unfunny. I had high hopes and gave the series multiple viewings but the jokes and characters were all predictable and paper thin, I disliked most characters especially the lead guy who just seems desperate to deliver his jokes/make people laugh. It's really a terrible show with no funny jokes and the production values are not surprisingly very low considering it is a fake "documentary" series.
View MoreThis show is hilarious. It's a perfect mix of ultra rude comedy and smart stupidity. These guys came up with great characters and a wicked story. Characters are pathetic but lovable. The writing is gold. Episodes are short but sweet. I watched all of them on the showcase site and wonder why it hasn't been picked up for additional seasons. I know I'm not alone. A documentary style works great for their content. I laughed hard at least once if not more in every episode. It really is smartly written. I don't laugh easily either. As the story progresses the situational comedy in every episode gets more ridiculous and entertaining. A show that starts out as a quick entertainment fix actually ends up hooking you in to see what will happen, which is the sign of a good show. Definitely give it a chance. It's the best show out of Canada I've seen in a while.
