...style of other FOX reality spoofs such as “Joe Millionaire” and “My Big Fat Obnoxious Fiancé,” “Mr. Todd” follows a script of some key events while improvising the details. Divided into two teams of six men and six women, contestants in “My Big Fat Obnoxious Boss” compete in ridiculous—and often embarrassing—challenges in hopes of winning the grand prize, while the audience looks on with guilty pleasure.
