Tosh.0

It's the same dark humor Ridiculousness has, but waaaaay better. Tosh hosts a show similar to shows such as "The Soup" and "AFV," but with edgier clips. The show is infamously known as holding the world record for an audience reaction to 2 Girls 1 Cup. Daniel still hosts the show to this day and it's still extremely funny. Might not be for everybody, but if you wanna laugh at some screwball humor... this is for you!

I liked Daniel Tosh's comedy before anyone had heard of him. My sides hurt from laughing after listening to his first act, "True Stories I Made Up." He upped the bar with "Completely Serious." So I was pretty excited when I heard he was getting a show...then was disappointed when it was yet another Soup variation, especially with Web Soup already running. I was in for a pleasant surprise. Tosh excels at social commentary, and the goofy grin that shows on his face as he nonchalantly spouts off the most politically incorrect and tongue in cheek remarks you could dream up will just about have you dying.

From time to time, an episode falls flat, and sometimes the show can get a little TOO gross (I can't take looking at compound fractures or people squeezing pus out of boils). Occasionally I'll be offended by something he says, but overall, Tosh is very consistent. Awesome show!

While the video clip show started off with ABC's America's Funniest Home Videos, the format of a clip show has been imitated multiple times, some being successful while others failed.

Comedy Central decided to cash in on that format with a certain stand-up comedian as a host.

Enter Tosh.0, hosted by comedian Daniel Tosh, which by the naked eye, is similar to shows like E!'s The Soup, but what made Tosh.0 stand out from the rest is Tosh's hilarious commentary on the videos that are shown (especially his one-liners), his interactions with his audience, doing Web Redemptions and CeWEBrity Profile and occasionally doing sketches to some of the videos shown. It became CC's highly rated program and ran for 12 seasons and was originally renewed for 4 more seasons until it was unexpectedly cancelled because the channel decided to focus on adult-animated series.

So, if you haven't seen this show before and if you haven't seen Daniel Tosh in action, do so whenever you get the chance!

A lot of people compare Tosh.0 to the E! Network's Talk Soup. Sure, it's just some guy standing in front of a blue screen commenting on stupid people hurting themselves on Youtube for a half an hour. You could also say the same thing about America's Funniest Home Videos.

But what makes Daniel Tosh's show different is that his one-liners are often spot-on, his audience interaction is great (like when he asked his audience which celebrities he could beat up), and the web redemptions/remixes/reunions/retreats are hilarious. Now that the show went from having a budget of zero to actually having one, expect them to get even crazier.

And unlike the other shows, Daniel Tosh's is almost interactive, whether it's pasting together stories from random Twitter feeds, wrecking havoc on Wikipedia (they actually had to close the page to prevent Tosh fans from editing it due to "vulgar, rampant profanity"), or seeing how many funny comments he can make in 20 seconds.

I'd actually go so far as to compare this show to MTV's Jackass. Sure it lacks the camaraderie of Johnny Knoxville and his crazy crew - but the gags are there. The brand of toilet humor and random nonsense is exactly the same. And where's the puke? There's plenty of it!

Tosh is a girl-crazy 9-year-old boy who lives in a small town with his rather eccentric family. He'll do *anything* to melt the heart of his latest crush...and this often gets him into terrible, terrible trouble.

Oh wait, that is The World of Tosh which is on a whole different planet. This Tosh is a guy with a short hair cut and semi-obtrusive ears. 10 women who got matched with him on Internet dating services are filing lawsuits against those services. This has become a great way for College Girls to make money, at least it's cleaner than WTF.

Seriously, Tosh.O is a series which caters to the teenage crowd. Kind of like when Michael Landon made I Was A Teenage Werewolf. The difference is Tosh is more harmless & will never hang @ the Pondersa with Hop Sing. Tosh uses green screen & a large LCD Computer monitor to put some clips together, or take them apart.

The pace of Tosh.O is fast & flips along so that if you don't like one thing, it is gone quickly to the next one. There is a little bit of this, a dab of that, some bleeps, & a bunch of bleeping commercials. It kind of flies by though I am not sure if it flies any faster on Twitter than a sling shot on a stick. Tosh is a Facebook page person too.

A clip on Tosh.O might show anything, and Tosh just might say almost anything about the clip, & quickly move on. If your into fast collages & little meaning this show might just be for you. It tries to be funny & moves along quickly for 30 minutes.

Try it out & either you will like what you see or not. If it is not, just wait a minute & you might like the next bit. If you stay with this for more than 4 hours, please consult your physician for major humor complications.

Added to this, Tosh is out on Facebook giving previews to stuff that is coming from this off the wall humor. You can check that out to help you decide if you want to watch the show, or if you'd rather go shopping @ Victoria's Secret Walmart. Falling prices & Lacy undergarments go together somehow.
