Has anyone else seen this show? Comedy Central played it after the daily show for a while, now it's moved up to after the repeat of the daily show. I think the entire premise is pretty funny, but some of the guys on it do a really good job. Anyone else like it? Know if it's going to picked up for a while?

Each show is really hit or miss. The entire show relies entirely on the reaction of the pundit (hehe, love that word). If the pundit doesn't react, it's kinda ho-hum. But if it's like the marijuana episode where the pundit reacts saying the other people should be shot, then it's pretty good.

The pot one was hilarious. I haven't seen any others.

Good show...

Playing solely on bullshit, though...

I really liked the censorship one. Its a good show, although like said above, it can be a hit or miss.

Stare At The Sun · 08-04-2004, 09:50 PM

Hit or miss, I give it 1 season. 2 at most. Just to plain to last.

I like the phrases that flash on the bottom of the screen.

skinnymofo · 08-05-2004, 05:57 PM

as said before definately hit or miss, one episode i was on the ground crying laughing so hard, it wasnt the pot one, but i cant think of what it was about. Maybe the college one with the too much partying. I generally end up watching king of the hill or simpsons (same time slot) instead of crossballs, but when i do see it, i enjoy it. Great idea for a show i think

trickyy · 08-06-2004, 03:14 PM

they should do a reveal at the end of the episodes

it could be funny to see the reactions of the pundits

noahfor · 08-06-2004, 03:26 PM

it can be really funny but i dont think its funniness has anything to do with the premise, plus i think the host is super annoying

sadatx · 08-06-2004, 08:50 PM

I don't like it at all. I haven't been able to sit through it, it's just trying too hard.

It's just I'd expect a show that mocked Crossfire and Hardball to be much funnier. I mean those two shows are pratically parodies themselves.

I agree that's it's hit or miss. I don't think it'll stay on the air too long either. How many topics can they really find to debate and still be funny?

They each bought a pint of Guinness. Just as they were about to enjoy their creamy beverage, three flies landed in each of their pints. The Englishman pushed his beer away in disgust. The Scotsman fished the fly out of his beer and continued drinking it, as if nothing had happened. The Irishman, too, picked the fly out of his drink but then held it out over the beer and yelled "SPIT IT OUT, SPIT IT OUT, YOU BASTARD!"
