Info

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.

My Big Fat Obnoxious Boss Audience Reviews

PodBill Just what I expected
Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews
SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."
Aiden Melton The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
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.
Jerry Hermes In this age of pranking, I cannot believe this many educated and ostensibly smart people would fall for the shenanigans pulled by "Mr. Todd". Despite the mansions and yachts etc. it is inconceivable to me that these folks are clueless as to the propriety of "Mr. Todd"'s antics.I missed episode #4 and I'm bummed out over that. All in all, the concept is brilliant and the show is F-ing hilarious. I cannot wait to see who the mystery person really is. I would have loved to have been the actor playing the boss.The winner won't mind as they collect a quarter million bucks cash. The 15 losers will, no doubt, be livid.
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
