Subject: What do you think of The Man Show?

Written By: Erin on 05/03/04 at 10:56 am

I think that it is stupid and degrading  but I know alot of guys like it.  What do they find so funny.  It just shows what pigs men can be.

Yeah it's stupid.  However, it is entertainment for some.  I wish there was a show called The Girl Show...

* Sporting hardbodied guys running around jumping up and down on trampolines
* Oiling their rock hard bodies...in the glistering sun.
* Licking ice cream cones while it melts and drips down on to their six pack tummies ;D

Hmmm.  Yeah!  I would tune in.  *wipes beads of sweat from forehead*

I loved it when Jimmy Kimmel and Adam Corolla were hosting and I'm a chick. I probably wouldn't watch a girl show if there WAS one. The thought of overly muscled guys doesn't appeal to me. :P

Give me my nerd any day. ;D :-*

I agree.  I wouldn't watch a girl show if they're was one.  I don't watch Lifetime or anything like that.  I am not into the whole gender sterio typething and thats what turns me off about The Man Show.  I also agree that NERDS ROCK!!!  My BF is a nerd and he is HOT!

I don't care for The Man Show or any high-budget strip show. If any of you watch it, I feel sorry for you. But to each his own. :(

It has it's moments.  Some of it can be pretty funny.

As far as it being "degrading", I think thats in the eye of the beholder.  After all, All the women on there are there at their own will, its not like they are being forced to do it.


And its supposed to be stupid, thats the point.  Its not supposed to be a serious show. :)

Obviously The Man Show is for pigs.  I mean, if you are offended by it, don't tune in!  The show is juvenile, but the producers know that and freely admit it.  It is a bit of "potty humour" if you will.  My favourite skit was when thay had "Fantasy Porno Star Camp," taught by porn star Ron Jeremy.  Classic "Man Show" humour.

But...

While I found the original cast (Adam Corolla and Jimmy Kimmel) to be hilariously stupid, they were on some level sort of likeable.  I could see inviting them to a keg party at my place and having a blast.

But the "new cast" (I forget their names) seem like a couple of dorks who are just mean.  Theior schtick just does not seem funny to me.  I'd never invite those guys to a kegger.

Exactly.

Its basiaclly on the same level as "South Park".  You can either look at it as offensive and terrible, or look at it for what it is...stupid and juvenile, yet very funny at times. :)

I can describe The Man Show and Tough Crowd with just three letters:
DUH

I'll watch Tough Crowd to marvel at how fabulously neanderthal it is, however, TMS holds no such intrigue for me. It's just dumb.

I don't blame anybody for being offended by TMS, but one would be hypocritical not to be equally offended by Sex and the City.

South Park is a toss-up.  Sometimes it offers incisive satire, other times it's just gross and juvenile.  Overall, I give SP a thumbs up!

Speaking of Sex and the City, I had an idea for a follow-up series, Sex and the Country.  First, I'd get Burt Reynolds and Ned Beaty.... :-X

I've only had cable TV for a little over 2 years now.
:-<show-name> on several occasions. I watch about 30 seconds and leave.

"There's got to be something better on right now" I think to myself.
:(

So, I guess I don't like it. Never have.

Let <show-name> = "The Man Show"

I occasionally watch Spike TV, but I have to admit I liked it much better back when it was TNN.

They got rid of a lot of really good shows when they switched over to the Ifrst Network for Men.  I still can;t figure out why they think men would enjoy watching "Blind Date". ::)

I liked TNN when it was The Nashville Network.  8)

That whole TNN "The National Network" stuff was silly.  And I'm not even a big country music fan.

The Man Show is sexist, stupid and boring.  It is designed to appeal to the Neanderthall Bubbahs, Billy Bobs and Jethros in the red Bush voting states.

I think it's shallow, stupid, sexist, and an insult. I've watched it and I've never, ever found it funny. I won't let my husband watch it either, though I think he's far too intelligent to be amused by that sort of humour. He only pretends to be just to spite me. :)

I do, however, like South Park and Married...With Children! :)

Wooo now.

You won't watch "Man Show" becasue it is "shallow, stupid, sexist", but you will watch "South Park and "Married..."?  Those 2 shows epitomise the phrase "shallow, stupid, sexist". 

Am I missing something here?



And for the record, I like all 3 of them.

OK, Married...With Children might be the one show that comes close to The Man Show. But at least it had a PLOT, for Christ's sake!!! It wasn't all glorified tits and ass like The Man Show is. Yeah, Married... isn't exactly wholesome entertainment, but there's more to it than bouncing boobies and girls jumping on trampolines showing off their knickers.

Wow. I didn't realise Britain's newspapers spelt the end of Lewis's career. This might sound like a niave question but do you think Lewis knew who he was marrying and her age? He must have known she was younger than the legal age surely.

If you get the programme, you'd probably find it on the Men & Motors Channel (if it still exists - I haven't been there in a few years). It's the one channel that I think would have that sort of show! :)

The Man Show was muuuch better when Jimmy Kimmel hosted it. Joe Rogan is not funny, imo.
