The Man Show...

I love this show when I can catch it and the little fat kid is a RIOT!!!!

Did it pretty much knock out all the other "Guy Show" rip offs??? I don't see them around anymore.

The fat kid is awesome. I love it when they dress him up as a scout and have him try to get people to buy him beer.

What other 'guy show' ripoffs are you talking about?

There as never been an episode that wasn't entertaining. Girls jumping on trampolines ... those fellas are geniuses.

The X show and some other show on the USA channel.

They must not be that good or that well advertised because I've never heard of 'em. I've yet to channel surf across something like the Man Show. I didn't like it so much at first, but over time they weeded their way into my brain and now I find them hillarious.

I'll never forget the episode where they took the tour of Snoop Dogg's house and spent a little too much time in the 'Green Room'

If you haven't channel surfed past The X Show, then you need to check your remote. It's like not channel surfing past Univision ... can't be done.

To this day, the funniest thing The Man Show ever did was back in their first season: Stop Women's Suffrage. I don't think I've ever laughed so hard.

The episode where they had him talk to girls on the beach was great!

I haven't watched any of this season's episodes. After all this talk about this so-called "fat kid", I guess I'd better start.

never saw this show in the UK, but one of the Comedy Central DVDs i bought had a very long trailer with lots of highlights. the 'End Women's Suffrage' petition was hilarious. people can be so dumb, and any show that exposes how politically naive and stupid the general public is (and thereby undermining the credibility of democracy) get's my vote any day of the week. would love to see it in the UK. is it still on?

When I moved I switched cable companies, and I no longer get Comedy Central. Can someone please start a support group for me?

He died, I haven't seen him in while. So I asked around and found out he passed.

The Fox succumed to cancer between seasons. Tragic loss of a legendary beer-pounding minstrel. A wall-sized portrait hangs on the set in tribute.

Or how about when the little fat kid tried to help "old " ladies across the street or when he hit on the hot girl when she was with her boyfriend. Plus the jokes on that show kill me.....

"Your car's gonna be alright. Looks like you blew a seal though."
"No that's just ice cream."
