Subjective Rating: 2/10 (Terrible, 0/4). It's an absurd enough set-up that it might have been amusing if it didn't keep going forever (it's twenty minutes long - for one joke), and if everyone on screen didn't seem either (1) to be embarrassed to be there or (2) to not really know where they are at all.
Objective Rating (Average): 0.7/4 (Very bad)
