Tosh.0

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

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!

I can't tell you how much I loved this first episode of Tosh.0, I laughed so hard I almost puked! His opening monologue was just great - and his video slow-down of the guy trying to karate-chop coconuts was truly rocking! Yes, IMDb made me add the "G" at the end of that word. I'm going to have to make his show a regular thing! I've always thought he was funny and now a show that makes fun of the internet combining his sense of humor is just brilliant! The internet has been needing some dedicated fun-making for quite some time, and I think Daniel Tosh is just the comedian for the job. The redemption of the week looks like a good segment too... now I'm just stretching to fill the minimum comments length.

Would have given this show 10 stars, but had to deduct one star for all the disgusting puke videos, and another star for the even more disgusting naked men videos. Other than that, this show is close to perfect, and is one of the few tv shows that actual makes me LOL. The jokes that Daniel (and his writers) make about the videos are much funnier than the videos themselves.

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!
