I read an article by a guy who was asked to go on the show to talk about spam, but he couldn't find anything out about the show and finally figured out by calling different people that it was a show called Crossballs and he declined the invite. Because of that story, I want to watch a show or two just to see what exactly they do, but I doubt I'll give it much chance.

I couldn't really figure out the premise of the show. Was one of the people suppose to be a real guest and didn't know it was fake? I lasted about 5 minutes in and then fast forwarded to the end to see the punchline but didn't stop in time and it started over. So I just deleted it.

it's a show like this that makes me wonder what all the producers and TV people are thinking... Did they watch the pilot of this and really think "we have a winner on our hands"?

oh, man. I guess the topic of the show has a lot to do with how funny the show is.
the latest show, about driving, had me cracking up. almost peed in my pants a couple of times.

ARE YOU PEOPLE INSANE? THIS IS THE FUNNIEST THING SHOW I'VE SEEN IN YEARS. The suv thing had me laughing my ass off when he called the kid gay. The old people thing was helerious also. Mostly because I had to debate old people driving in high school and it reminded me of the same things I debated about. Seriously this whole show reminds me of my current world events in high school. Mostly because the crazy stuff they are saying on this show is what I used to say in class. AWSOME SHOW. I want this on dvd.

the seniors at the end were the best.
"let's hear from your wife."
"no, I'll do the talking, she takes forever to get to the point."
"sure, seniors do kill people when they drive. but put it in perspective, it's the only way we CAN kill people."

This show is getting better and better. The drug show and vegetegian shows were great. Looks like it's gone after this week is over, though.

I despise "Tough Crowd", but I still prefer it to "Crossballs".

The pot show was pretty funny.
Especially when the fake pot advocate was talking about his driving experiments with neighborhood kids, pot and alcohol
The other really funny part was when he asked the anti-drug lady to come up with a role model who had never used drugs, and she said: "President Bush."
"Thanks for proving my point."

This is a hilarious concept. I laughed my ass off at the commercials.
But, after watching 20 minutes tonight, I realized this show sucks. In fact, it blows. Watching it is more painful than watching a Star Jones thong contest.
