The Man Show

The post earlier said that the Man Show was too degrading to women and was offensive...I thought that was the point! The show is sexist in such an outrageous and ridiculous manner that it's definitely not to be taken seriously. And with that philosophy, it's very very funny...

I must say, I remember that in the 70's and 80's there was a show that featured scantily clad women and lots of silly jokes called Benny Hill, and everyone laughed, but it got boring in the end.

Well, the premise is back for the new millenium, and it's the Man Show. Just like Benny Hill, it features sophmoric humor, but like shows today, grounds the show in reality. They are simply trying to capture that same audience. And just like Benny Hill, It's heading down the same path.

They need to be careful. It's easy to get caught up in "booty call" and forget about entertainment. May they remember to keep the balance.

Am I being immature for saying that this is my favorite show and that I laugh my a$$ off every time I watch? Probably. What can I say? I'm a 17 year old guy. I can identify with some of the things that are discussed here. I started on this show because of Jimmy Kimmel, who I know from Win Ben Stein's Money. Not only is he just as funny (if not funnier) here, he and Adam are the greatest and I think that women could like it as much as men (I do see a LOT of women in the audience). I enjoy shows that kind of give political correctness a slap in the face, and this one is perfect for that.

I loved this show! Sure, it was sophomoric, but it was fun- and isn't that what TV is supposed to be? It had three of the things that guys hold near and dear to their hearts- pretty women, beer and farts. How can you not love a show where Cindy Crawford (in a spot that had to be filmed a long time ago) shows you how to fix a toilet AND says "ballcock"? A show where the fastest beer drinker in the world plays the organ? Where the audience and the hosts drink brews all during the show? And where, as they have promised, we'll see girls on trampolines end every show? Will this show offend people? Sure. But that's why you have a remote control- you don't have to watch it. Every show doesn't have to be "Masterpiece Theatre." So many of the "women's shows" take great pleasure in showing that men are pigs. Well here, not only don't they deny it, they're damn proud of it. I just can't wait til Ben Stein shows up as a guest.

I find almost all parts of The Man Show pretty funny, especially the experiments in the real world (Putting a 20 dollar bill in an unflushed toilet, ect.) and the Man Show Boy, who is about 10 and is put outside a liquor store to see if anyone would buy him beer. All of the comedy is very funny, but the "Juggies", In my opinion, seem to degrade women a great deal. All in all, a VERY funny show, especially if you're a man.
