Canada's Comedy CoupCompetitionForget Funny Or Die This Week - These Competitors Are DoingSketch Comedy Even Better

I don't know if you've heard of CBC ComedyCoup — but it's a prettyawesome initiative where tons of comedy creators compete against eachother to win $500,000 in production financing for a half-hour comedyspecial to air during CBC’s 2015 prime time schedule! (it's like a moreengaging version of NBC's ComedyPlayground).

The project DOPE ASS WORLD (a sketch-like news show) made the Top50 and we’re peeing our pants with excitement because these guys rule.They've been doing sketches on YouTube under BooYaPictures for yearsand it looks like these guys are finally ready for a shot at TV!
