Testees is a Canadian comedy television series that aired from 2008 to 2009. The show revolves around two best friends, Ron and Pete, who decide to become product testers for a strange and mysterious corporation called Testico. Ron and Pete get paid to test out a variety of products, which may or may not have some unusual side effects. They are joined by a cast of quirky characters who are also part of the testing program, including a scientist, a receptionist, and various other employees at Testico.

The show has an irreverent, often crude sense of humor, with plenty of gross-out gags and sexual humor. Its humor is reminiscent of other cult classic comedies like South Park and The Whitest Kids U' Know. The content of Testees is definitely not for everyone, and those who are easily offended or put off by crude humor will not appreciate this show.

One of the standout features of Testees is its cast of characters. Jeff Kassel and Steve Markle play Ron and Pete, respectively, and have great comedic chemistry. They make a great duo, playing off each other's energy and reacting to each other's outrageous behavior. The show's supporting cast is also excellent, with each actor bringing a unique flavor to their role. Ho Chow plays the scientist who oversees the testing program, while Marvin Ishmael plays the eccentric receptionist. Shauna Macdonald plays the test subjects' love interest, while Joe Pingue plays the corporate executive who oversees Testico.

While Testees is a comedy, it also has a science fiction twist. Many of the products that Ron and Pete test out have strange, unexpected side effects. These range from the absurd (getting superpowers from a performance-enhancing drug) to the grotesque (turning into a werewolf after ingesting a mysterious liquid). These plot twists add an extra layer of unpredictability to the show, and keep viewers guessing about what will happen next.

Another strength of Testees is its writing. The show's writers have crafted some truly inventive and hilarious scenarios for Ron and Pete to get themselves into. Often, the humor comes from the unexpected turns that the plot takes. For example, in one episode, Ron and Pete ingest a pill that gives them uncontrollable erections, leading to a series of embarrassing mishaps. In another episode, they test out a virtual reality program that turns them into children, leading to some hilarious misunderstandings.

Despite its crude humor and often absurd plotlines, Testees has a surprising amount of heart. Underneath all the raunchy jokes and bizarre scenarios, the show is fundamentally about the friendship between Ron and Pete. They may not always make the best decisions, and their testing adventures may get them into trouble, but ultimately they are there for each other. This underlying emotional core gives the show depth and helps to elevate it beyond just a series of gross-out gags.

In conclusion, Testees is a hilarious, irreverent comedy with a science fiction twist. Its cast of characters is strong, and the writing is clever and inventive. While the show is definitely not for everyone, those who appreciate crude humor and are looking for a laugh will find plenty to enjoy here._test.
