Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Each episode featured a real Canadian submitting their actual terrible job story, which writers then weaponized for comedy.
The show's obscurity is legendary — it aired in the era when Canadian content quotas meant shows could exist without anyone watching. This is peak CanCon energy: funded, produced, forgotten, then rediscovered by exactly twelve people on Hulu.
