The Beaverton

Perfect satire that is current and 100% Canadian! The 2 hosts are hilarious and quite believable.

I really wanted to like this show. I enjoy the Beaverton website, and I was very much hoping that the show would be as good, but after waiting a whole season for it to improve I finally had to give up on it. The jokes are very hit and miss, and the tone of the show is defined(?) by randomly shitting on people and subjects without any unifying theme. Sometimes the sketches seem to be recycled American memes rather than original material. I always switch channels when The Beaverton comes on now, because I know that the few laughs I might experience won't be worth the disappointment.

This show is. Worst comedic actors. Worst comedic writing. Humber Comedy Program continues to destroy comedy in Canada by giving each other reach arounds. Learn something about satire, spoof, etc etc. And, when doing comedy- ESPECIALLY on camera, never try to be funny- it makes you even worse actors than you are. When you go out and do comedy, stop wanking off in front of your friends and stacking your audience- go to where people don't know you- you'll find out that you're not very good.

I like the website The Beaverton but this show is so wooden and poorly written and poorly performed and just plain cheap looking and dull I just can't make myself watch any more of it. I gave it many chances. The laugh track they stuck in was like it was done on somebody's laptop while they ran on a treadmill at the gym. The jokes are bad then there were explosions of laughter than stopped all of a sudden. Maybe that was supposed to be part of the joke but what I saw was just plain bad. I would give it a 1 but I like the online Beaverton so much I will bump it up. The hosts are likable but they have nothing to work with here, just really bad jokes.

It's no This Hour Has 22 Minutes or Rick Mercer Report, but for what started off as a university online Canadian news satire publication, this is great as far as Canadian content goes. Wannabe critics need to ease up on all the 1's and 2's... this show is funny and entertaining! A well deserved 8/10 from me.
