System Crash is a Canadian youth sketch comedy television series, which aired on YTV from March 14, 1999, to December 9, 2001.

The series centred on a group of students in a junior high school media club, telling the events of their fictional school, Lambton Junior High, in the past week. Each episode usually had a theme, e.g. parents.
