In reply to the discussion: So a Girl Walks into a Comedy Club…. [View all]rwilymz
(4 posts)8. I take it you haven't really watched tosh.0
His show is all sexism, all the time
That's just about as incorrect as you can get.
It's all un-PC all the time.
He rags on women, EVERY minority there is and then some, southern hillbillies, Lebron James, and he spends an inordinate amount of time playing himself up as gay.
If the only thing you can see is him ragging on women, then I'd go to an eye doctor, cuz you can't see very well. If your eye doctor gives you a clean bill of health, then go see a neurologist, because you don't seem to be processing the other gratuitous broad-brush offenses very well.
...unless, of course, you don't think it's a broad-brush offense when he gets shots of his [small] audience split up into hispanics on one side and "anglos" on the other, then he says something unkind about hispanics and gets a quick shot of his audience with the "anglos" all cheering and stomping, and the hispanics sitting there stone-faced, that is. In which case I'd ask you why you're anti-hispanic.
I don't understand why it's still on the air.
This may be your lucky day. Viacom - parent company of Comedy Central as well as a handful of other cable channels - has gotten into a micturation contest with DirecTV over the fees for carrying its package, and hence one of the largest outlets for Comedy Central is now blank.
But seriously ... you watch South Park, which satirizes [what would appear to be] your brand of feminism on a fairly consistent basis, and you run screaming from Tosh? Seriously?
Is mockery rendered harmless when dispensed by poorly animated grade-schoolers with foul mouths? About the only real difference [beyond the animation] is that Tosh is generally more blunt about it.

Guy seems like a serious ass. It is possible to be edgy and shocking w/o being mean and hurtful
