Yeah, they put so little effort into it, unlike that drivel Family Guy that everyone seems to love. I'm not going to bother defending TGTTM, because I am clearly outnumbered in these parts. I will say however, that regardless of your taste in humor, they do put effort into the show. That reminds me of my old boss when closing, I would play the Locust, and he would say, "I can play this crap, its just a bunch of random noise" even though they are one of the more technical and creative bands around.

But yeah, TRL stinks, though it doesn't matter that much I suppose, seeing as how i haven't watched mtv since i was like 16. I guess it may curb the terrorists hatred towards us, like somebody mentioned.

Yeah, it really takes a lot of effort and the mind of a comedic genius to put underwear on over your clothes, dry hump another man and babble nonsensically... I could grab a bunch of random crap from around the house, hire a bunch of local bums and winos and make a better show than Tim & Eric Awesome Show Great Job. I just don't understand the appeal; is it because it's so terribly awful and stupid that it's "hip" to like it? Is the point of it to be not funny, extremely gay and shot like it's a public access show? Is it so bad it's "chic"? I just don't get it. Oh, and how ironic is it that the show is the exact opposite of it's title?

I never said they were genius. It's simply different taste in humor. Why is it that everyone that hates the show accuses people of liking it of trying to be hip? It's a fucking cop-out. Some people like metal, others like country. Different tastes is all. People love family guy, and I personally think its crap. its loosely written plot is just fodder for the 20+ that reminds me of the time... 80's pop culture flash backs.

You want to know what amuses me about the show? It's humor is akward, uncofortable moments, and yes the public access feel, and shitty instuctional video feel. Also, they do a lot of satire on pop culture, but just more extreme and absurd compared to a lot of other shows. I wouldn't belittle you and say its over your head, because that's a cop out too.. I'm sure your intellegent enough to understand the content, you just don't care for it. That's fine. I just don't like being told the only reason i like it is to be hip and different. Why the fuck would i subject myself to something i secretly dislike just to get hipster cred?

Sidewaydriver: Yeah I saw them in San Diego shortly after Plague Soundscapes was released, and they were amazing. Their drummer is phenomenal.
