S1.E2 ∙ The O in Ghost

Take a little SNL, mix in a healthy dose of The Daily Show and The Colbert Report and sprinkle it all with classic sketch comedy shows like The Carol Burnett Show and SCTV. Put that all together and you get Hollywood's best sketch comedy show, Second City This Week. Every Saturday night, some of Second City Hollywood's most talented actors and writers come together to create a new show, streamed live for the Internet, heavily influenced by the week's current events. It's all the news that's fit to sketch!

A parody of game shows such as "Family Feud." Contestants from two towns (with real names of small towns in Canada) play assorted games, including "The Wheel of Different Things" (which is rigged) and "Shameless Plug" (where the town makes a creative presentation showcasing their town). The winner is declared "Supertown" for a week. The contestants are played by actors, and their characteristics poke fun at the town they represent (eg. a character from a town in PEI worked in an Anne of Green Gables gift shop). Dick is obviously infatuated with Gwen, trying to impress her constantly, and she rejects all of his advances.

The film makers take the movie The Brain Wouldn't Die (1962) and wiped the audio clean and dubbed it over with a new, comedic soundtrack.

A serial killer mutates with a chemical inside a sewer, to become a monster made of human waste just as the FBI and police are onto him.

It's "The People's Court" meets "Bowling for Dollars." Contestants bowl against each other to settle disputes and win prizes.
