Faux Pause

[Vbear]

I have 5 hours of "Faux Pause" on 2 DVDs. It's the GSN show about game shows where they poke fun of the clips! Anyone interested?

Faux Pause, from 1998. The concept was basically a game show version of Mystery Science Theater 3000 — find a lame old game show and riff on it. However, it failed on so many levels: the hosts (obscure comedians Mary Gallagher and Sean Donnellan) were extremely unfunny and often mean in their riffs (e.g. calling everyone in Oregon a hick, implying that New Jersey girls are all ugly, or making a joke about excessive chain-smoking when the host of the show they were riffing on died of lung cancer); their shows of choice were often Cult Classics (most notably Go, Hot Potato, and Treasure Hunt US) or at least unremarkable shows not bad enough to warrant the MST treatment; and the interstitial skits were both unfunny and poorly-acted. Read a Game Show Garbage review of the series here, and a rundown of the Hot Potato episode here.
