C'mon... it was alright, but the gross-outs aren't funny, at all. They are just gags instead of actual comedy. I like the main character and his acting, but the supporting acting is horrible, and it is not their fault. The storyline was too ridiculous to be funny. I HOPE that a writer on this show reads this and decides to take it to a level of actual humor... I believe in you, well some of you...

The wild premise of letting a ghost possess you to "have sex" with an ancient version of your hot ex-gf? WTF? Then just continuing with the actual elderly woman. Baaaaaaaahhhh so lame a stoned high school kid wouldn't laugh.

I liked it. But I'm still working on my first degree though. ;)

It has the charm of a tuned down Troma movie. It has weird characters with wacky storylines, and it's filled with cheesy jokes that sometimes work and sometimes don't.

My inner twelve-year-old and I thought the whole girlfriend story was hilarious. Especially after the ghost is gone and they go for it again! Well, what the hell, they were there already...

But I didn't like that nasty phony-medium woman beating the hell out of him. That ain't funny.

I like the lead actor, so I stuck with it, and the second episode similarly has some glaring flaws, but still made me laugh. I'm trying the third now. Very lightweight stuff, but it isn't trying to be anything else. I like it all right.
