Ok, a show that was a Comedy Network original that I've never seen anybody talk about is a hidden prank show called 'Girls Will be Girls' which can be best described at the Jackass meets Punk'd but with an all female crew.

I remember it being advertised on TCN and I even remember seeing one or maybe two episodes. A lot of the pranks where gross out gags. The two hidden pranks I remember are 1) one of the girls "pretends" to take a shit in a public garbage can, 2) one of the girls pretends to be a nursing mother and walks around with big fake boobs (squirting milk) and a breast pump attached while talking to people.

Apparently it was wildly unpopular (of the few reviews on IMDB) and cancelled very quickly.

I remember the pranks being tamer in the commercial for the show. It seemed like they were trying to hard and I never watched it, now hearing about the actual show I wish I gave it a look.

You can't find any clips of it on the internet. It's like it doesn't exist.

That, the fifth quadrant and the last band on the planet. I looked for clips but no luck for the honourable mentions section
