Synopsis

My Big Fat Obnoxious Boss is a television show on the Fox Network that was filmed in July 2004 and aired from November–December 2004. Similar to My Big Fat Obnoxious Fiance, it was a parody of shows such as The Apprentice. The contestants performed several tasks that they were told would help them win a job at the Chicago-based conglomerate IOCOR and a $250,000 prize. However, the contestants did not know that the company - and the position - were fake. The show was usually punctuated by the actions of the "boss" 'Mr. N. Paul Todd'. The contestants learn about his multi-billion-dollar venture capital firm IOCOR, and in any episode, he or a member of his 'family' could usually be found doing something to unsettle the contestants or to test the limit of their blindness to truth. Fox advertised the show, along with another Apprentice-inspired show called The Rebel Billionaire, during the 2004 Major League Baseball playoffs. The show received low ratings in the United States and was cancelled after five episodes. Fox released the remaining 5 episodes online in late March 2005. All 10 episodes were broadcast in full in the UK on Channel 4, in Australia on Channel 7 and later Fox8, in Singapore on Channel 5, in Poland on TV4 and Polsat, in Malaysia on 8TV and in Denmark on SBS Net. In 2008, the entire series - including the five unaired episodes in the USA - aired on Fox Reality Channel.

AboveDeepBuggy Some things I liked some I did not.
Ameriatch One of the best films i have seen
Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
Celia A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
brandonschwab This is one of the best shows i have every seen. I think it just aired at the wrong time when people were sick and tired of reality TV shows and ultimately got cancelled. After the first episode you will be hooked, and want to watch the whole season. The actors are incredible and make 12 contestants believe that they are billionaires. Swayed by the almighty dollar, the contestants compete in a series of out of this world challenges but do them with class. Its a dog eat dog game show for $250,000 and a job opportunity working for a billionaire. The contestants are business all stars and make this show worth it all. 10 episodes-40 minutes long makes this show for one hilarious day. My favorite show of all time.
dlscott1111 Just got through watching a marathon airing of this show. Got hooked and couldn't stop watching!! It's all here: Selling hot soup on a hot day, selling "I hate Chicago" shirts in Chicago, selling cosmetic surgery to dead people, pitching home-defense front yard landmines, and making a lovable, kid-friendly mascot for the much maligned and misunderstood product of hydro-cyanic acid (or Cyanide).Favorite lines by Mr. Todd: (Commenting on his right-hand men): "I trust them so much because I mis-trust them". (Critiquing one of the players): "You're short! Tall people have an advantage in this world..." "The weak only survive if the strong are weaker."
deiminion The thing with these spoofs and practical jokes is that they are funny, but there's a fine line between hilarious and annoying. And sometimes this show does just that, annoy. Even though the tasks are fun, they're not entirely original. I mean, selling soup on a hot day? Is that the best they could come up with? The boss, Mr. "Todd", sometimes is lost for words when the candidates reply to his remarks. Overall the cast of actors seem pretty full of themselves off air. This show is fun to watch if you like watching people humiliate themselves. It's not by any standard a great program in the history of TV making, just cheap entertainment. As for the mystery boss, my guess....Rupert Murdoch.
pops_mcfly Even better than the entire first series(also hilarious) in it's pilot episode.can't wait to see NBC's fake reality show "25 Millon dollar hoax" as well.best part in THIS show though was the "Get the hell outta my office"BTW who does everyone think the secret "boss" is?I have a few choices,Randy(the victim from season 1)Steve (Fiance from season 1)Donald Trump
