<div class="IPBDescription">what a piece of offensive crap...</div>I was always a big fan of the original Man Show w/ Adam & Jimmy, so I was quite saddened when the show went off the air. Then when I heard about it coming back with two morons hosting, I was equally saddened.

But tonight I was bored so I actually watched an episode, and I was actually appauled. It seems that the only thing they can think to do on the show now is find ways to absolutely humiliate & hurt women.

Now, the Man Show has always been a show with girls on trampolines and dancing while wearing a different fetish outfit for the week (japanese schoolgirl week, etc), but when Adam & Jimmy there they were always appreciated, and also respected. Even the bits w/ Jimmy's wife "The Wife's Perspective" or whatever they called it, while yes they always dropped water on her or whatnot, it was always in good fun. Never once did they hurt anybody's feelings on purpose, and any ribbing was a light hearted ribbing. Hell, it was produced by women and also something like 30% of the viewer's were women.

But on the new show with these idiots, it seems like the only thing they can do to boost ratings is to paint a midget blue and give him a baseball bat. The two idiots started the show off by calling the juggies sluts, and were likewise outright hateful towards them during the whole show. The worst part was in a skit they had w/ a Dr. Phil lookalike at a book store signing Dr. Phil books, and he basically forces one young woman to sit on his lap, and then he french kisses her and she's trying to get away and he won't let go. Once she gets away she then runs off crying. She wasn't an actress, this was some real girl who was just incredibly unlucky. This crap isn't funny, that's just plain sick.

I say we dump the two new morons on the Lifetime network's doorstep, and then raise $25,000,000 to bring Adam & Jimmy back...

Sorry, just had to rant...

    Seconded, DOOM. I thought the Man Show where they had a booth to sign a petition to end women's suffrage (with all kinds of women signing it) was especially clever, definitely a sad fate for a great show.

    Indeed, the end woman's sufferage thing was hilarious...

    But this new crap, its like they expect you to laugh when somebody is being violated...

    holy crap, it's that bad now? I was never a major viewer, but I appreciated that the show was as much a "man show" as it was a show making fun of itself. The hosts weren't misogynists; they knew the show was ridiculous and that's why they did it. Like you said, it was all in good fun...

    This is really why I hate remakes... they never stick to the original, they always have to "improve" on it. You're REMAKING it for christ's sake, if it was successful enough to justify that YOU DON'T HAVE TO FIX IT!

    Yeah, the "magical negro who comes down from heaven to help white men with their problems" idea is somewhat racist too. And now they just parade half naken women across the screen for adolesent boys who lack porno to masturbate to, its not funny, they just use sex to boost ratings...

    I don't like the new hosts at all either, they just don't enjoy it like Adam and Jimmy did...

    Well let's not just sit here, let's <i><b><a href='http://www.comedycentral.com/help/questionsCC.jhtml' target='_blank'>do something about it!</a></b></i> Comedy Central isn't going to have representatives visit a gaming forum to find out what public opinion is about the new version of the show. Show'em what you think by sending it straight to the source. It's what the form's there for.

    Done and done. But as usual I'm sure nothing will come of it.

    the new show will get canceled.

    i saw the part with the fake dr at the book signing, halfway raping that poor girl, i was stunned, it was horrible! but later in the skit you see her doing other things, so im sure she was an actress.

    I was hoping I wasn't the only one who didn't like the new man show! It just isn't the same without Jimmy and Adam...

    It would be like the Simpsons with completely different voices, or just an overall appearence.....There is no Man Show without Jimmy and Adam.... <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

    And this is why I'm glad I don't have US TV. Some of it sounds really quite crappy.

    Not to mention you yanks have a commertial break <b>JUST BEFORE THE SHOW'S CREDITS!!!!!!</b> Can't you wait like, a few seconds? Oh and then of course there are more commertials <b>AFTER</b> the credits.

    And you renamed Spooks MI5. Just because Spooks is a British name for a secret agent doesn't mean you can go changing the name around......


    I think I'll stay with the BBC. No advertisements, WOO!

    "Itsssssssssssssssssss theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee tentacle pornnnnnnnn"


    New man show sucks, I watched I'm with busey, Insomniac, then South park, and when I saw man show, I turned it off in a fit of rage and went to bed. Its a pervert show now instead of a funny ploy on manhood, this spits in everything a man is. This is the type of crap that gives us a bad stereotype. "Only thing a man needs from a woman is SEX" etc... For gods sake kill this loaf of crap show. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

    The only part of the man show I enjoyed was the man show kid. I would watch that if it was ever on while flipping through channels, otherwise the show was a piece of crap.

    man show was honestly amusing

    a large amount of it came from the fact that either:
    a) Jimmy, and Adam are genuinely funny or
    b) they are GOOD actors (I am guessing #1)

    the 2 new idiots are obviously reading a script, their jokes are forced, their skits have 0 intelegence (well, the rel manshow didn't have that much but often they did have SOME <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->)

    Agreed. Heres my problem. Joe Rogan (if thats even him? the Fear Factor guy) is WAAAY too excited to be there, and the other loser is acting like he doesn't even give a damn that he is there. Both of them are fools who are trying too hard. I can't stand to watch that show anymore -- but it was one of my favorites when Adam and Jimmy were there.

    Also. They got rid of the ziggy-zaggy? Lame.
