CD Reviews

Canadian Humour
Brett Bydairk | Central NY | 01/08/2009
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Extremely funny Canadian skit comedy fom the '70's.

Much of this has been heard on Dr. Demento.

HIGHLY recommended, esp.for those fans of Firesign

Theatre, although this is a bit more in-your-face

than FT."
Funny With The Funiness!!!

"Frantic Times did wonders for my weight. After listening to this CD, I discovered that I had laughed my ass completely off! While this will most likely bring about other problems in the future, I am currently wearing pants that I normally would be unable to zip up. Thank you Frantics!



But seriously, this is some of the most clever and joyously wacky sketch comedy that I've heard. I recently checked out their website at it seems the group has reformed and is doing live shows every month in Canada. Awesome! There is also some cool information on Frantic TImes at deepshag.com.



Do yourself a favour and check this CD out - very funny!"

"I got hooked on these guys from Dr. Demento in the 80's. This is the only one of their discs that I managed to pick up and I really enjoyed it... THEN MY GIRLFRIEND STOLE IT!So now I'm waiting and waiting for Amazon to send me a new copy. When they say that it takes them 3-5 weeks to get something, they mean it!!It's worth the wait. The Frantics have a blunt humor that hits you like a boot to the head.While you're clicking around, you should check out a Canadian comedy group called Three Dead Trolls in a Baggie. Their albums aren't available on Amazon, but trust me: if you like The Frantics you'll really enjoy the Dead Trolls."
