The man show is a prime example of why I no longer watch television.

My favorite part of the show: Girls & Zkribbler on Trampolines.

I think it's being phased out since Jimmy got his show on ABC. I don't know what Adam's going to do.

Is Love Line still on? I used to listen to it all the time, but for some reason no stations carry it here in the Bible Belt.

It's damn funny most of the time, although sometimes its lame. As others have said, the Man Show isn't meant to be taken seriously.

The most memorable moment to me was when they went around campaigning against women suffrage.

People say that the demeaning is so over the top that it can't possibly take it seriously. Ok, I don't take it seriously. I take it as a joke. But this brings the question, is it right to transform peoples' bodies not into merely objects then, but also the butt of a man's joke? Hmmmm. It's not funny, and just seeing it makes me literally CRINGE.

Many American shows suck, for instance:

"Everybody loves Raymond". He even got a price for it. How sick are you ppl really?

Everybody loves Raymond is a GREAT show! It's utterly hilarious!

Are we talking about that slow dude. Talks a bit slow or so it seems.

Mike Myers... Another VERY VERY sad story. Saw Waynes' World I and II and 12 mins of Goldmember. He seems to parody on "Ja" and other languages in GM. Too bad he doesn't understand them. Europe-ignorant.

If the majority of Americans think Mike Myers is funny I hope Iraq beats A...... in the upcoming war. Putting a smiley here so I don't get sued or attacked You never know what crazies and stupid stuff American lawyers can pull on you. Another sad story.

Pretty much what everyone else says, the hyperbole is exactly what makes the Man Show funny. It's not potty humor or the objectivization of women that's appealing, but the way it's overdone. Plus most of their bits really are original.

BG, you should see "Fleksnes". It rocks.

European humor is much better judged by the two horrible American shows/films I have mentioned.

Watching Raymond now and his brother... I am confusing this guy with someone called Ray Shandler(?). I think his name is Ray Shandler. He fits my descriptions above better.

But you also gave him an award!

@ Imran.

You never saw the "gary shandling show" on Showtime (and i think it's been sydicated on other cable channels).
It won many awards, (but he never did). It was freaking hilarious. It was a parody of nightly talk shows.

I thought it was on HBO.

And I was joking... since you said either Adam Sandler and Shandling, one was funny and the other wasn't .

That was the Larry Sanders show on HBO.

The Gary Shandling Show on Showtime, he basically played himself and it was very funny.

Randy Newman played the theme song, which was pretty funny, too.

ACK!

Opps, another Senior moment. Yes, of course you are both correct, but as you said, he was playing himself so you can understand my confustion

So Olaf and Sven walk into a bar...


Mike Myers parents emigrated from Liverpool. That explains a lot. Lars-E, a bunch of immigrants to the states were German, that may explain our TV/film humor standards. And maybe the Man Show could do an exposé on Scandinavian humor - I think we would learn a lot!

Many American shows are great Sten.

Scandinavian humor is great. I should send you Fleksnes on video. He's a typical dumb funny Norwegian. Just like my dad... I sent him the vid for christmas.

I didn't like The Man Show at first, but it seems to be steadily improving in quality. The Man Show Boy deserves full credit.
