    There are people in this world who find flatulence mightily entertaining, and they should be happy here.

    I don't know that there's a long-running series here--even the pilot runs out of steam before the end--but I did laugh several times.

    At least these comedies are upfront about what they are: Cheerfully raunchy shows that lean heavily on adolescent obsessions with bodily functions. If that's your thing, you may enjoy the deadpan Testees.

    In a time dominated by ridiculous shows such as Two and a Half Men that only by the grace of God has somehow managed to find a place at the top of the most watched television shows, I am left in disbelief that a little slapstick humour like that of Testees has been met with so much displeasure, I hope that this show is given another chance because, at the end of the day, life can get you down and as silly as this show is, it makes you laugh, and that, after all, is all a comedy sets out to do. In that respect, Testees ticks all the right boxes.… Expand

    Shock humor that's too much shock and not enough humor. The concept seems great, but the jokes aren't there. The only redeeming value is watching their bodies undergo various changes, most of which, make me want to vomit and turn off the tv, of which only the latter happens.… Expand
