My Big Fat Obnoxious Boss Season 1
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.

The victims of the hoax receive an invitation to go on a corporate retreat with Mr. Todd. Once there, they are given an opportunity to air their grievances, to which Mr. Todd repeatedly responds with only ""thank you, I appreciate that."" The next morning, he shares some eggs and bacon with the guys and they chat about the girls, allowing Mr. Todd to further expose his skeevy side. It also gives Iocor COO David Hickman a chance to build on his strange fascination with Damian. Afterwards, Mr. Todd challenges the guys to basketball and plays himself for a wimp before making a $1000 bet with Robert and David. He then goes one-on-one with David and gives him the trash-talking of a lifetime, winning the match. Then, Mr. Todd has the victims of the hoax participate in the most ridiculous challenge yet: navigating an office obstacle course while he pelts them with paintballs. It ends in a tie, but Concad loses the tie-breaker and Robert and David are put up for elimination. Before not making th

The remaining victims are brought to a flea market where Mr. Todd reorganizes them, supposedly based on personal appearance. What they don't know is that the decisions on who would be moved where were made before-hand and the entire exercise is being done simply to screw with them. The next day, they are given a challenge to sell four ridiculous products that are fake: pure oxygen in a bottle, a low-carb spray, environmentally friendly tampons and renewable, reusable toilet paper. The teams get down to some hard selling, using any avenues they have available. Some decide to make previously unmade claims about the products, to great success. However, Femron gets a real boost for a bulk purchase and wins the challenge. Concad is punished by having to eat a bad meal in an aquedect, while Femron is treated to dinner at the Cite with fireworks afterwards.

Mr. N. Paul Todd invites a group of guys and a group of girls to join him for the next Executive Privilege. The girls are asked to join Mr. Todd on a yacht called the Perseverance II while the guys will join him for a golf outing. Mr. Todd then joins the girls on the yacht and completely blows off the guys. On the yacht, he reveals his naughty side by giving the girls a gift that keeps on giving --- bikinis! Later on, he does the equivalent of a drunk-dial when he calls up Whitney back at the IOCOR tower and flatters her by telling her that she's ""fascinating."" The next day, the contestants are summoned for the newest ridiculous challenge. They're asked to come with a marketing campaign and mascot for a company called Drycon that markets a chemical called hydrocyanic acid. Femron and Concad are then judged by a group of eight year old magnet school kids. The women lose and sent to Mr. Todd's office for elimination.

A select group of victims is invited for the first Executive Privilege --- a tour of Mr. N. Paul Todd's luxurious mansion. The mansion has actually been rented for the day and stocked with items designed to raise the victims' opinions of Mr. Todd. Included is a ridiculous laser light-show that allegedly protects the first million dollars that Mr. Todd earned, as well as the legendary Excalibur sword. The sword, in actuality, is nothing more than a cheap replica that was polished and cleaned before being inserted into the mansion. Next, the victims take part in the second nonsensical challenge. They enjoyed panhandling, but they absolutely love this task --- selling hot soup on a scorching Chicago day. Concad and Femron go into action and to everyone's surprise, sales are actually quite brisk. A vendor selling cool treats is sent in to follow them around, but sales are still hot. The men beat the women and the women are sent to Mr. Todd's office. There, he and his executives work to con

In a PowerPoint presentation, he informs him of the holdings of his vast, multi-billion dollar corporation, IOCOR. What the victims haven't been told and don't know is that Mr. N. Paul Todd is actually actor William August and IOCOR is a fictitious corporation. Mr. Todd welcomes them to ""his world"" and they all seem to be bamboozled into thinking they're starting something big. Later on, they are split into two groups of six men and six women and assigned their first challenge. Each team will come up with a degrading name for the opposing team --- Femron is chosen for the women and Concad for the men.
