Series / The Sean Cullen Show

Go To

A Short-Lived Surreal Canadian Comedy hosted by Seán Cullen that features special guests and different skits.

The show also features Jason Belleville, Jennifer Robertson, Stephen R. Hart, Dwayne Hill, Colin Mochrie, and Patrick McKenna.

It ran for one season in 2003.


Tropes for the series:

  • Character Title: The Sean Cullen Show.
  • Closet Sublet: Winston the Cellar Dweller lives in one and pays Sean rent.
  • Giant Squid: One episode had a giant squid take over Sean's basement. It eventually kidnaps William Shatner and fell through a wormhole. Sean sang about it.
  • One-Word Title: Dwayne.
  • Reunion Revenge: One episode had, throughout the evening, an old schoolmate trying to kill Sean for taking the last place in the orienteering club. But then it turned out that Sean had never joined the club, and the other guy had spent his whole life chasing the wrong man.
  • Spontaneous Human Combustion: One episode revolved around a talisman which granted Sean's every wish in exchange for famous figure skaters spontaneously combusting.
  • Straw Fan: The show had Those Two Guys who actually sat in the actual audience and complained about how improbable the plots were. Considering that one such episode featured a giant squid invading the basement while Sean took lessons in self-defense that involved avenging the death of his watermelon by beating up an ax-wielding "blue guy" and fighting off an entire band of ninjas, and then his evil Germanic Mad Scientist neighbor brainwashed William Shatner into attacking Sean before, but then Shatner got attacked by the squid and they both fell into a wormhole, and then Sean sang a song about it all while the blue guy danced... considering all that, complaining about the logic of the show was a fruitless pursuit.
