TSP Show Tournament - It's Time to Vote!: Mr Bean VS Spaced

[BorisTheBombastic]

I'm voting for Tosh.0 since it is one of the few reasons I actually watch T.V. Amazing show.
I rarely find MAD amusing. It's just fairly dumb.

I never watch Television anymore. 

[InfectedSausage]

I never watch Television anymore. 

I do sometimes.

[BorisTheBombastic]

I do sometimes.

There's just nothing good on anymore.

[FezzyBear]

Most of my television watching comes from internet players such as BBC iPlayer and 4oD. In fact, I watched Louis Theroux's new programme about the porn industry last night. Hilarious.

Can anybody find me a clip of the Tosh.0 programme that's funny? I went through a few of the most watched ones on YouTube and didn't laugh, but I'm interested in finding out how people find him funny.

Same. Most of my favorite shows are American so I just watch them streaming online anyway.

It's really difficult to be funny within the confines of the clip show, but the Daniel guy he's a least a little funny. The show is really cheap, so your expectations should be tempered accordingly.

Tosh.0: Dedicated Super Bowl Fans - Uncensored

I should clarify that I don't actively like the show, but I do not dislike it either.

[FezzyBear]

My problem with the show is that I don't find him funny at all, as opposed to it being of low quality. If you gave the funniest person in the world his script, I still wouldn't laugh. No matter how much money it takes to produce a show, it costs nothing to be able to write a good script.

The laughter track is horrific too, and makes me dislike it even more.

Eli's horsefaced brother was there. (HAHAHAHA) Probably in the same stable as [somebody's] horsefaced wife. (HAHAHAHA) Security really dropped the ball when some hideous old woman managed to sneak on to the field during half-time and started Vogue-ing. (HAHAHAHA) And don't say you watched the Superbowl for the commercials. The world's best athletes are trying to kill each other and you shush me to hear what the [something] was going to say? (HAHAHAHA)
Congrats to the [some team] on the big win. A team who couldn't beat the Redskins in the regular season was clearly the best team in the world. (HAHAHAHA) Eli was truly an inspiration. (HAHAHAHA) He proved that if you work really hard and your older and more talented brother breaks his neck, you can succeed - no matter how mentally handicapped you look. (HAHAHAHA)
[Clips]

On the other hand, when I go on to the videos there is a massive amount of likes compared to dislikes, so people must see something in it.

[Undead Priest52]

The laughter track is horrific too, and makes me dislike it even more.

It's not a track. At the end of each episode, you see the camera zooming out, and that he has a live audience each episode.
Plus, in some episodes, he interacts with the fans. Shows their reactions to something gross, makes them all do something, etc.

[InfectedSausage]

The comedy on that show is too forced.

[Drifting]

As others have said, Tosh's act feels really forced. Much of his routine revolves around one-liners which often seem to fall flat. Also, I just find his persona to be rather arrogant. He always seems to have this annoying little smirk plastered on his face, as though he thinks his "unique" shtick of playing off of YouTube videos is the epitome of comedy or something. I can see his appeal to younger people who enjoy his style of humor, but I find it to be rather lacking in wit.

I'm not voting due to never having watched Mad, but I felt like saying my two cents on Tosh.0.

[Joshed7]

Yeah, I agree with Drifting on Tosh.0. And I find MAD to just be really boring.x

[InfectedSausage]

Mad shoves the FUNNY bag in Tosh.0's face with a 4-3.

Sherlock - Tuppence870
In this modernized version of the Conan Doyle characters, using his detective plots, Sherlock Holmes lives in early 21st century London and acts more cocky towards Scotland Yard's detective inspector Lestrade because he's actually less confident. Doctor Watson is now a fairly young veteran of the Afghan war, less adoring and more active.

As The World Turns - chrismafucchris
Set in the fictional town of Oakdale, this long-running serial focuses on the relationships and difficulties of its inhabitants.

They Started on Daytime TV - Julianne Moore, Steven Webber, Marisa Tomei

[Drifting]

Sherlock is an interesting adaptation of the original works. As the World Turns...is certainly a thing.

[chrismafuchris]

I know which one I'm voting for.

[InfectedSausage]

Haven't watched these shows, but I'm going for Sherlock, since the reviews and IMDB rating of ATWT is very low, while Sherlock is very high.
