Andy Milonakis......your thoughts

I have seen shorts bursts of this show and i have to admit.....this guy has possbily the unfunniest show i have ever seen. It tries too hard to be irrelevant comedy in the vein of Python and a thousand other shows....but it fails terribly. And the fact that he is in fact a 30 year old guy pretending to be an obnoxious kid.....well he is getting the obnoxious part right. Just terrible overall....exactly what i expect from MTV. Not surprised that Jimmy Kimmel is behind this though....another person who had humour extracted from his body at birth.

Couldn't agree more. I'll gladly start up a contribution and hopefully we can scrounge up enough money to make this guy go away and never come back.

He needs to be returned to the circus cage he escaped from.

Meh. My kids like it. I'll admit to a few laughs from time to time when I watch with them, but WAY overrated and derivative.

Already covered here:

* Be warned! *

Considering how unbelievable awful the show is there are still a handful of posters who support it. Your opinion of them may be forever changed. Peruse at your own risk.

He's 30?!? Shit, I thought he really was a kid.

Oh yeah, he's not funny regardless of age.

Yeah, I've always wondered who watches some of these shows. This has to be the least funny show I've ever seen. At least you can laugh at the idiots on shows like Next. Milonakis is just frustrating.

I've caught a segment here and there and I agree with the consensus. Not funny. Not even amusing. Just bad.

I have caught a couple minutes of it from time to time and I've noticed that he seems to only pull pranks on old people and foreigners. Yeah, it's really funny when he's saying something stupid but his mark doesn't even understand what he's saying. Go ahead and try it on somebody that actually understands what you're trying to say and see how funny it is when he beats the shit outta ya.

I have to agree with what everyone else has said. I've actually watched a couple of episodes, trying desperately to find the appeal, but I just couldn't. I just didn't find it funny at all, and it is often really boring rather than just annoying. I'll just stick to Wondershowzen.

I thought that rap at the end of Waiting was funny the first time, but when I went back to show it to my wife, it did not seem as funny. Now that I know he's 30, it does not seem funny at all. Children cussing is always funny to me.

Watching tidbits of the show, that older fat guy who is slow annoys me.

As far as Fat White kids go, I like the one from "The Man Show" much better. Now that kid is friggin funny.

I guess everything can find an audience, and I love Wonder Showzen, another series that has mixed feedback as well, and I love off the wall humor, but what I have seen of this show is just not funny. It tries to hard or something. I couldn't believe it got a second season.

I've heard people say that this show is very hit-or-miss (when it hits it's hilarious and when it misses it's horrible), and on that word of mouth alone I've managed to tolerate about 4 or 5 minutes of this shit.

There were actually moment where I was uncomfortable watching this show, and that's not what I want to feel when I'm trying to be entertained.

I think you mean "irreverent," because Andy Milonakis is, in fact, irrelevant in every way.

To me, he symbolizes all that is wrong with MTV today. He is not funny, not entertaining, and not talented; so what MTV does? They give him more time and promotion because his "show" is cheap to produce. I can't stand any MTV channel anymore.

Exactly! It's almost like every now and then you feel like you should turn the volume down because you don't want your neighbors to know that you're watching something like this.

Now that I might watch.

Until then the show remains a blasphemy. A copy of this should be sent to the leaders of certain religions, agnostics, atheists, and anyone else who doubts the existence of Satan and Hell.

If he can profit from doing what he's doing considering he's 30 years old, then more power to him I say.
