We're Experiencing Technical Difficulties
We're Experiencing Technical Difficulties (also known as WETD) is a show that is currently airs on MuchMusic. This show features a mix of comedy, animation, sketches and fake InterViews derived from pop culture. It is produced by MuchMusic. Each episode is AbOUT 12 minutes long, but MuchMusic airs about 2 episodes per half hour. WETD also makes fun of celebrities (for example, the show mentions a Tokio Hotel tampon ad), censors words in videos/interviews that shouldn't be (for example, the show censors the word "kiss" in the video from Katy Perry's I Kissed a Girl so that it sounds like an obscenity) and jokes about [...] content. There are also fake Much program promotions, such as "Wake Up Much", a "live" morning show with a relatively sleepy host.
The show has a connection with Video on Trial, because it gets mentioned on one of the episodes on Video on Trial. Both programs are vaguely similar in terms of its highly sarcastic tone and style.
It was created by Cary Smith and Andrew Worrall and began airing in September 2008 as a replacement for Stars Gone Wild after than show was cancelled, but WETD has also fared poorly in the ratings with a lot of negative audience reaction voiced on the MuchMusic message boards.
