The lone gay guy and locked doors/blocked windows in Ep. 1 were pretty good clues that the writer(s) were fans of Sartre's No Exit.
yeah, figured it was a horror movie p much from the start. but i watch a lot of horror movies.

I mean, I wonder if it will develop that getting the cast to have sex is not really the premise of the show? Because lone gay guy, married with kids guy, virgin ... and the two cast to be most sexually compatible have yet to have sex, mostly due to the house or the producers. I def. am getting more of a Bunuel vibe than a Sartre vibe, though.

to call it sartre might be attributing a clarity of purpose etc. etc. ;)
and yet i just watched all six episodes. it doesn't really pick up until the third ep. at least they're short

Mmmm... Maid Rite. That's one of those restaurants where you tend to just assume the one in your home town is the only one on earth because it's so un-franchise-like. Also, loose meat sandwich lol

I think the twisted events pivot on the idea that the unseen show-runners (and host) can only understand human interaction through reality show devices, and at such an extreme that actual humans can barely survive the conditions. It's a comment on how demented and far from reality actual reality shows practically go to fabricate "interesting" television.

Onion humor like to throw demented curve-balls in there but they seem to stick to that thread in their parody thematically.

Watched all of this tonight. The fact that their physical decline is obvious in the talking head segments is excellent.
I never connected the forced hot air blasts with the locked doors & windows. Yeah, this is No Exit.

Yes, thank you, people of this thread, for reminding me that this was happening. It's probably my favorite "comedy" thing of the year.
― Old Lunch, Tuesday, 28 August 2012 04:01 (thirteen years ago)
Horrifying Planet, another Onion show, is pretty good too:

As of August 21st, they filmed the last of it I guess. What's the timeframe for post-production on these things? I'm guessing there are probably 10 episodes total or so?

"The housemates plan an orgy. Alex gets herself in the mood with the Sybian and Derek puts those sex shackles to good use. Frank can't keep it in his pants."
The use of Youtube is really top notch.
