Why My Big Fat Obnoxious Boss might be annoying:

    The show over-explained to the audience that this was a con.
    Despite many advertisements during the World Series and on Sunday NFL and other Fox shows, this show had very low ratings.
    It was not nearly as successful as its predecessor 'My Big Fat Obnoxious Fiance.'
    Fans refer to it as MBFOB.
    One of its potential downfalls was airing a show about work on Sunday evenings.
    The show had a disappointing final twist, the boss turned out to be a monkey who spun a wheel to eliminate contestants.

Why My Big Fat Obnoxious Boss might not be annoying:

    The contestants were quite successful at nearly impossible tasks (selling hot soup in the summer, bartering live chickens, convince women to use tampons made of twigs, etc.)
    The actors were believable and worked well at improvising their roles.
    Although cancelled, Fox shows the remaining untelevised five episodes for free and without commercials on its web site.
    'Mr. N Paul Todd' is an anagram of 'Donald Trump.'
    The corporation was named Iocor, Iocor in latin means to joke.
    Many viewers were unaware that Jason the bodyguard was an actor and not a real bodyguard.
    To keep viewers interested, they had a mystery boss who chose who was eliminated. This boos would not be revealed to the viewers until the final episode.
    Speculation was that the boss was either Gary Coleman, Bill Rancic, Ivana Trump or Oprah Winfrey.
    Fox.com announced they would show the final episode on April 1st, causing speculation of an April Fool's prank.
    Although the prize was to be a $250,000 salary, the winner got $350,000 and second place got $200,000.
    The entire series was televised in the Netherlands.
    Balancing Todd's lechering after the female contests, the show added a humorous gay angle with Hickman hitting on the male contestants.
