Testees: The Complete Series

Love the show and if ur a Kenny vs Spenny fan you will too. DVDs showed up on time and as expected. WOOT!

I watched Testees (great name) because of Kenny Hotz and Derek Harvie. Having been a fan of both during Kenny Vs. Spenny and The Tom Green Show respectively, I was automatically interested in Testees. Unfortunately the series failed to live up to its potential.

The premise: Pete and Ron are two best friends/roomates who work for Testico. Their jobs? To test new products to ensure they are safe. Unfortunately for Pete and Ron, inevitably, every week they must endure horrific side effects. For example: A new pheremone spray that has the side effect of making them irrestible to women that they would prefer to resist. A shampoo that causes blindnees. A new robotic vaccuum cleaner that becomes sentient and traps them in their home. A muscle relaxent that paralyzes Pete.

Part of the problem with the show is that, sometimes, it's too gross. Another problem is the lead actors Steve Markle and Jeff Kassel are just not funny enough to pull this off -- despite the presence of the smokin' hot Kim Schraner, who seems to have been written out by the end. And Kenny Hotz was only in a few episodes as well, making its appeal that much less for me.

However, if you're into the concept, give it a shot. It didn't appeal too much to me, maybe it will to you.

2 stars.

This is the funniest show to ever come out of Canada. Not for everyone, but if its up your alley, it will be your new favourite show. It kinda reminds me of flight of the conchords without the music.
