Everyone is asking: What is HoveLand008? Now you can tell them. The song is "Covert Affair" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/
Fave 31 Views 285I love your weirdness but I'm a bit confused. Also your press card I feel emphasized Comedy Coup a bit more than it should advertise you fellas. I like Hoveland for the audacity of its title, one of the weirdest titles ever, but I love the ghetto wrestling and everything. New Brunswick never looked so good.

Best wishes to the top 55 contestant winners and congratulations on having your efforts recognized in this CBC Comedycoup contest. Good Luck to those making the top 15.
Huge wrestling fan and this looks like an interesting concept!
Loved the newspaper "The Reversing Falls Flip Flopper". I'm one who really didn't know what Hoveland008 was all about, now I do. Great work and good luck.
Great Work! Funny concept and definitely lots of potential! Keep up the great work:) Very Creative!
This isn't to my taste -- the violence and juvenile images are not something I would enjoy watching. Maybe I am just getting old, hope others enjoy and support the show!
Great video, fantastic editing. Would have liked to see a little more of what the show itself is going to be like. Over all engaging.
ballin man. nothin like it. i really appreciate what you're doing here. youve got serious game and i have become a big admirer. you deserve to win this contest. you are definitely welcome to entertain me any time of the year. keep it up and be the people youve always wanted to be.
Haha amazing stuff guys. I like all the characters, perfectly cast if you ask me. I'm looking forward to seeing more of this project for sure, very unique to all the other projects. The posters are amazing too, really gives us a good glimpse of what to expect!
Yes it is material for TV ,even Happy Days had to start some where.Give them the votes and watch this group blossom.I know the can go the distance. Bonne Chance !!
Quite the competition from the east to the west coast and such an excellent group of participants makes it hard to pick just 15. I hope CBC gives you each a coffee mug or something for getting to the top 55. Best wishes to all.
I'm not a fan of watching fingers blown off and people puking, but I know a lot of people are. For that reason and for your enthusiasm, I wish you luck.
Congratulations guys for making it to top 55.Very interesting video .Keep up the good work and good luck in top 15 Way to go Cheers!!!!!!!!!!!
I can see that you guys have some VFX skills which is always a good asset to have. I'm not too sold on the newspaper idea, although I see how it relates to being "in the media". I have to admit that the school shooting scene really turned me off. I think what could set you apart from the others is really incorporating various VFX in your sketches. At least I think it's sketch based?
hmm presentation is great but i found it confusing. Just not the right fit for this mission, i think.
I liked the newspaper and commentary for presentation but you definitely did not sell the project as a whole to me. I think it's great that you have been successful on You Tube for a couple of years but I'm not sure (at this point) that it's material for a weekly tv show. Some of content was just a little immature and has been seen/done too many times. If you make top 15, I promise to take another look at your other missions :) All the best in your future!
I do not unerstand this show because it seems like there is too much going on and there is a lot of rudeness happening and I don't appreciate that!! You seem like you could be nice people so I think you are better than that!! Good luck!
This show has great comedy potential; I really like the new spin you are putting on established TV tropes and am looking forward to what more you can come up with!
What is Hoveland008- This is the first time I seen your project. I viewed it when I saw it was from Saint John, NB. Like the New Brunswick accents. The characters are funny. Good luck with this weeks voting folks.
Good Job Guys keep it up and you'll be top 15 for sure!!!! Really funny stuff! Can't wait to see more!
Congratulations on making it to the Top 55 and good luck on making it to the Top 15!! Loving the promotions on all your social media! Keeps me in the loop!
H to the izz-O, V to the izz-E. I am intrigued by the mystery of this project. I like that anything can happen and it's unpredicability really lends itself to some great comedy!
Nice job with the "hype" video guys. You kept it light and funny, but I still understood that there was a sense of urgency, that this project needs our support. Fun, effective delivery. Best of luck!
I'm still a little confused as to what this project is. You guys seem to have some great funny bits but I don't really get what the concept is.... or maybe it is just me!
I'm still really not sure what Hoveland008 is. The show's definitely got potential, but in the state it's in right now, it would basically need to win the contest just to find it's footing, and I'm not sure if that's what they're running the contest for. I love the claw hands, though!
Wow! Cool! You guys put a lot of work into writing for that newspaper, I love that you can pause the video and get more information/jokes. Very funny stuff, really good job. Hope to see more from you in the future!
Will I understand this if I haven't seen hoveland001 to hoveland007 or is this a good jumping in point? Either way, good job on the hype video. I'm in.
this seems pretty funny and a lotta people seem to like it but i am just apprehensive about supporting a project that is already well-established because i would like to see a new talent emerge from this contest. that said, i have to respect your hustle and determination to take your project to the next level, so i wish no ill will. good lucl gang
Yeah this is another boy humor show. I don't get it and don't particularly like the type of humor portrayed. Having said that I'm sure lots of guys are cracking up watching this but it's just another comedy like trailer park boys that I won't be tuning into to. Sorry
Boy humour
Nice that you have your own HooveLand 008 street sign and the spinning news papers were pretty cool. I'll have to go back and look at some other videos but it seems like you'll have to beat out some pretty tough competition in this contest.
Well put together piece. I like the visuals and the style of the video, but it doesn't feel like any of your points are especially unique to your show and are shared by many projects in this competition.
:D
It worked! It really did! I can't believe it!!!! A real glitch! I mean, I know we have a ton of stuff to work on and that we are the underdogs in a forgotten province but darn it, we are proud and will continue to work as hard as we can! Plus, I will do an extra comment for another project in order to make us for this seeming cheat. I was just curious is all.
I am wondering if I actually will get a point toward a badge if I actually comment on my own project? I know we are working as hard as we can on this competition and that our families are getting worried about us. That's 100 characters right?
I like the visuals in this video a lot – very professional looking. However, since this is the first video of yours I’ve watched, I didn’t feel like it told me much about the project, or had much cohesiveness.
So creative, this project is unique to me I think. I'm not going to be one of those people who try to give you guys hints or tell you how to do your work, it's all compliments from me! I love the whole concept of this project, like I've said before very creative and funny! And as long as you have at least one of those you guys will make it far in this competition, and you guys have both! So best of luck, looking forward to seeing more.
ongratulations on making it to the final 55 you obviously done a lot of work to get there. The use of the extra extra rad all about it references was different as the newspapers could probably use the help with social media and internet slowly taking away their customers.
Very quirky and original. The music you chose really gives you a distinct flavour. Good Luck. Royal - Littleton Falls Settler Village.
Not sure I get it ... your hype video essentially pointed out all your weaknesses and lack of experience but asked the audience to take a leap of faith because you're funny ... ok
Exactly
I used to deliver the newspaper and used to always dream about being a super hero who solved crimes as he delivered the paper and but then it thought I'd be super tired for school and never pursued it. great video.
I thought this mission was extremely well done by you guys. Keep on makin' the goodstuff! Adam...nice to meet you this week...James rock on....let's giv'er!
Yes, your concept is weird but it should also help explain what the concept of the show is and where it's going. I haven't seen much more that helps me to understand. Hope you can make it clear and clarify the premise for the show. Good luck.
LOVED your week 3 video! The format of your week 5 show was very slick and well done. And yes, Kevin MacLeod, how many times have I used your music in my projects! All the best going forward! Be sure to check out The Eligible Bachelors week 6 video, as we are going BIG (before we go home)!
Congratulations on finishing the video for this week and good luck in all your missions in the future.
Trying to catch up on who you are and what you're doing. That being said, I still don't understand what the show concept is really about. Want to see more from you but not sure how you're going to make it work. Sorry guys and hope to see you in the next round.
I love your weirdness but I'm a bit confused. Also your press card I feel emphasized Comedy Coup a bit more than it should advertise you fellas. I like Hoveland for the audacity of its title, one of the weirdest titles ever, but I love the ghetto wrestling and everything. New Brunswick never looked so good.
Congratulations on making the Top 55. I'm not sure I understand the premise of your show. In fact, I'm quite sure I don't. However, I liked the newspaper format. (Fingers up noses....not so much.)
Funny material and funny people, great potential here, good work :)
Kind of echoing some of the comments here but I feel like there could have more information about what the show is about... As a journalist I would be confused as to what I'm expected to report about... But I'm not a reporter so what the hell do I know? Nothing, probably.
High energy hype but it failed to inform what your show is about.
Interesting concept, i like it. It seems like it would be enjoyable for almost all ages, (except of course the during the useage of bad language and whatnot). Im a fan of the cast you've picked, all funny, however they need some work in a smidge of places. Good luck guys!
Hard to distinguish what exactly this show is about, but it somehow looks promising! Cool trailer design! Optimus Prime-minister was pretty funny, I have to admit! Solid joke
Really cool video and take on the whole mission! congrats on making top 55 and the best of luck in the next round of things! I hope to see you in the top 15!
I have often wondered when the day will come where newspapers don't have photos but videos. I guess we already have that on our phones...but I always imagined it exactly the way you represented it. Good luck in the vote!
Optimus Prime Minister! That's hilarious! I also like how you took an old school approach to the via print media.
Congratulations on making the top 55! Your project is really funny and original. Best of luck in the next round!
You guys are consistently insane !! I wanna travel to the dimension under the coffee table through reversing falls and fight lobster wrestling man. _ Wharf Rats
That other dimension is a strange and terrible place, full of other dimension that are full of other more strange and terrible places.
The thumbnail was great! At first I thought that was a legit article some the news and I was super impressed. "Wow these guys had a great article, I wish we had some press coverage like that" But alas you guys fooled me for a sec and as such my hat is off to you. Here is a muffin!
Great job guys and congratulations on making it to week 5, looking forward to seeing what week 6 brings. Best of luck
Congratulations on being in the top 55. Loved the newspaper angle. Good approach. Pace was perfect. Funny stuff. You had me until the nose picking. Funnier if you stopped when you knew you were caught. Overall – very good.
I said it before and Ill say it again. One of the craziest funniest projects on here, without a doubt. I would watch this in a heartbeat. Hoping you move through!
Great idea for the video and nice work on the effects!
Congratulations on making it to the top 55. Your hype video and sell sheet were well done. Good luck on making it to the top 15! Good work!
extra extra Hooveland is in the funny papers but what is hooveland and where are they gong with this next? Seems like you made the papers ok and i liked the shooting the finger off special effect so will wait to see more.
Definitely a lot of Hype in this video. Some sharp humor lines mixed into some seemingly random chaos. I am still not clear on the concept of the show.
I think you guys have some pretty witty lines within your script! Interested to see how you do in the future but congratulations on making it to the Top 55 and good luck on making it to the Top 15!!
Hoveland. Still don't understand what you're about and what your comedy is like. I can tell you that the clip of the two gunmen was definitely not funny. I guess I just don't get it. Good luck.
I am in shock! Where is the funny? I don't see it. Am I missing the gag?? It looks like a bunch of Jack Ass videos thrown together. Wow!!!
HAHA! I'd totally vote for Optimus Primeminister! Members of Parliament! ROLL OUT! Really well done guys! Excited to see the action multiply in the coming weeks! Great work!
Best of luck in this here competition. I first thought you were from st. john's but now I've got it straight. good work.
Constructively commenting on your video for mission week number five. keep doing what you are doing and best of luck.
Great video. I'm not really sure what your project is about but you caught my attention and it looked very cool! Best of luck this week with the voting for top 15!
YOur video too full of seemingly random clips to give a clear idea of what to expect from this show.
like the newspaper used but the old timey music needs some contrast so it's not a one joke thing ...switch it up and have a newspaper to tablet thematic maybe ?
I'll be honest, I still don't really know what Hoveland is, even after watching all your stuff. Maybe I'm just not getting the 008ness of it, or maybe I'm just not paying that much attention. It could very well be me.
Brilliant video! Never seen anything like this one. I love the concept of the newsreel reporter. There's only one thing this project needs: more BLACKLEY!!!
Blackley could have been featured better yes.
Very eclectic vision, guys! Looking forward to more from Hoveland 008!
We can't wait to show more!
Great hype video and congratulations on making the top 55. Can't wait to see what you have planned for your future productions after you make the top 15. Good luck!
We have lots of stuff planned for the top 15.
Hi, guys. You seem to be a great group of people with a lot of ambition. If you move on, I'd be curious to see what comes of your show. You are up against a lot of trained actors, so I wish you all the best!
We are up against some very tough completion. We've held our own so far and look forward to showing the professionals what we can do with nothing but hard work and determination.
Even the name of the show has peaked my curiosity. Unique concept and very well presented. Keep up the great work and best of luck in moving forward to the next level
It has a unique tone that is great for drawing attention to the project. I haven't followed this show up until now, but I think I'll go back and check out the other videos. Good luck for top fifteen!
Thanks for checking us out!
Great work Hoveland008!
Thanks!
I pick up what you're laying down here. Hoveland008 is a great and it's nice to see a video that makes you participate. Word to your mother.
Thanks for picking it up, I'm always dropping stuff.
This is what this is all about. What is Hoveland008? Great job on this mission and all the others I am sure you will be just fine. Good job.
I thought you were really creative in presenting this weeks video. I don't know if it really got the concept across to the media though, but then again it is a pretty random show. Your even this week sounds pretty entertaining. I'm sure the stand-up comedy will be excellent.
It's hard to condense us into 90 seconds.
Great job you guys! You actually got me to pause my PVR of Coronation Street to watch this informative video, that's kind of a big deal. Nice old timey reporter voices and fancy editing. Hope to see youse move on to the next round and right on to the big one at which point I plan on name-dropping like nobody's business. Thanks in advance, Mei
It must have been good for you to stop Corie.
You have a very different style from most of the other concepts at ComedyCoup. I appreciate you unique view and I'm glad you are in this contest. Congratulations on making the top 55 and good luck making the top 15. I'm looking forward to seeing your next video!!!
Thanks, we've been working real hard on this contest.
you sell sheet is a little confusing. The second page has a little too much going on. The video was well done though.
Great job! I normally have the attention span of a sardine, but I am going to keep watching until I don't like it anymore (like that will ever happen) instead of deciding that it will run out of steam right away. There is so much content on your Youtube channel, I feel like this show could go on forever. This could be the Doctor Who of Saint John comedy shows.
I agree we could go to 50 something seasons and replace Adam and I with a new Adam and James every 5 years.
Creative take on the media idea! Good Luck Guys!
The concept was good just not sure that it delivered enough to encourage me to watch on a weekly basis. Good effort though.
We usually take longer to set up jokes, think arrested development where jokes are setup episodes in advance.
Best of luck gang!
While some lines are funny, I think the concept would fade very quickly so I don’t think I would watch it after the first week.
We usually have jokes that take a longer set up. This 90 second thing makes it hard for our humour to come across.
I don't know what to say about this video; it was a good idea to have the newspaper print showing while you were talking. I did not think it was funny though, and I thought it was a little gross. But that is only my opinion, I am sure some people like it. Best of luck you guys!
Great way to do your video, especially with this weeks themed mission, nicely done, Good luck with your party Sat night, Again the video FX were great, perfect with the newspaper layout
Thanks, glad you liked it. Hoveland Live is going to be absolutely insane.
A little different something for ya.
Adam! I didn't know you hung out here too!
Sold the media with the hype. Liked what you did here. Underdogs, coming out on top! Good stuff. Keep it up!
Thanks. The past few weeks have been crazy.
