That's So Weird is a Canadian sketch comedy television show owned by the Halifax Film Company, created by Jeff Copeland, broadcasts on YTV. The show has been described as SCTV or Mad TV for teenagers and includes an array of comedic skits.

The show is a documentation of a group of teenagers who work at a fictional television station called So Weird TV. They receive various unusual products from their owner, Jamco, and are given the duty of creating commercial advertisements for the strange items. Alongside the ads they are required to do, So Weird TV also has programming that parodies television programs such as Degrassi: The Next Generation and This is Daniel Cook.

Most scenes are filmed in front of live studio audiences. Season 1 was filmed in the former St. Francis of Assisi Catholic School building in Toronto. Later seasons were filmed in Halifax, Nova Scotia in Studio 1 at CBC Halifax.

A series of four mini episodes were made, featuring sketches from the first and second seasons without any sitcom content. The theme song from the second season plays without any opening sketch.
