Tosh.0

I absolutely LOVE this show!!! Not since John Henson (now relegated to Wipeout) and Hal Sparks on Talk soup (currently hosted by the unreasonably restrained Joel McHale) have I thought that there would ever be a comedian this funny!! His "Take no prisoners" and "Now don't you feel stupid" attitude makes ignorant people take a hard look in the mirror warts and all! He makes statements that are completely outrageous and sacrilegious so that only the inordinately pigheaded autocrats and self important knee-jerk reactionaries (who are offended anyway and really?!?! Those who live their lives searching for reasons to be offended so that they can jump out of their cushy, overstuffed, easy chairs, to take up their holier than thou torch of self righteousness and set aflame ideals from our ignorant, uneducated past to ignite the fuse of other idiots to demand censors to blunt every corner so that no one ever has to suffer from the indignity of having their narrow, closed minds cracked open to let the light of the twenty first century!!!

It's fun reading the bad reviews for this show, and it's still going strong. I guess everyone else disagrees with ya'll.

For all you Internet junkies out there, this show is for you. Daniel Tosh, a funny as hell stand-up comic, takes you into the seedy realm we all inhabit and gives pointed observations on everything from the Afro Ninja to kids getting smashed in the face. In all honesty, I thought this show would be a bust. Seeing as how only Internet People tend to enjoy their self-referential humour, I figured there would be nothing for the average everyman to laugh at. However; Tosh makes funny for everybody, not just those of us who lurk the waters of the World Wide Web. Also; the subtle little inside jokes meant only for us Web Heads are hilarious.

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.
