Post 1 of 29
I'm sad to see it go, but... Best. Man Show. Ever. They just had an entire sketch on photographing Playboy Playmates.

Sorry if i sound a bit testosterone-driven and female-objectifying right now, but after all i am a male. biggrin.gif

That show is stupid, dirty, and smelly, and I hate it. It's not in the least bit funny, and those hosts make me sick. I cannot believe that show is in existence. If you want to see some half naked chicks, watch Howard Stern...it's actually entertaining and the host isn't a complete moron.

EWWWW! I find Howard Stern to be the most hideously disgusting, blantantly sexist piece of shit I've ever encountered in my life.

It's one thing to exploit women that know they are being exploited. It's a completely different thing to exploit women that are obviously not capable of understanding that they are being belittled and made fun of in front of a national audience.

This may not be a common occurance.. I've only watched the filth once or twice. But that was enough for me. I think he's way worse than The Man Show anyday.

I don't think so. The Man Show is more disgusting. Howard Stern is filth, but it can be entertaining, and it's not always that bad. I don't watch it often at all, but I have seen a few episodes that don't even deal that much with girls taking their clothes off and are quite entertaining. Plus, those girls know they're going on national television. It's their own fault for being whores.

to be quite honest, i find one as repulsive as the other. trampolines? c'mon, it's just stupid. but i'm not bitching...you boys watch what you want. i just don't see how anyone could find those types of plastic-y, overly-tan, bleach-y, blah blah blah...it must be my abscence of testosterone.

i don't like either show, but i think that the man show is, by far, the lesser of the two evils. at least you know that the girls on it are being paid- many of them to get through college. anyways, the show isn't called "the man show" for nothing. guys like beer and women.

on the other hand, howard stern exploits women. any woman willing to go on his show and show him her oversized clitoris is off her nut. what i'm saying by this is, howard stern takes advantage of dumb women. do i need to go into the whole bringing retarded people on his show thing?

shit, i like beer and womyn, but its not cool to expolit either. beer has feelings too.

as per your second comment, I'm sure you didn't mean it this way, but you just equated retarded people with womyn. howard stern is a dick. the fact that, by his terms, womyn are equivalent to retards shows what a bastard he is.
thank you for being a friend.

i think damon was saying that he goes so far as to exploit retarded people for a good laugh on the show... hell he's even had a retarded chick strip for him once. Sometimes, those who are retarded are not legally able to make choices like that for themselves. It's ridiculous that he does shit like that.
The man show may be crude, but it's not crude with the pretense of being intelligent. Howard only looks somewhat intelligent because he surrounds himself with true buffoons and inane guests. His views on nearly every international problem boil down to "blow them up!" If he's not the biggest jerk ever, well... I don't know where I was going with that.

I always switch off the show when the trampoline part comes in... that part is just boring.

I believe that the entire object behind the Ms. Howard Stern competition was to find the hottest and stupidest girl that they could. The girl couldn't even understand what Howard and his cronies were laughing at, much less the fact that the radio show is syndicated nationally. This is usual for Howard.

I believe it's said that a typical Howard fan will listen to him for 15-30 minutes a day whereas someone who hates Howard will listen to him for 2 hours a day.

i think i have to agree with the boys here. howard stern is a dick. he doesn't care about women and he treats them like shit on his show. the man show is disgusting, but at least you know that the girls are treated well and paid nicely. its stupid to sell your body for a show but its better than fueling stern's ego. as for "boys like beer and women," thats an over-used excuse.

really though, the appeal that I think the man show has isn't really the "juggies" or the beer... I think it's the sketches and jokes that they make. They may be crude, but they're no different than the jokes that we, as guys, make on a regular basis. They had a sketch in the episode last night that was Adam cloning himself that was absolutely hilarious and featured Dr. Drew, whom I love. For all the misogynistic overtones this show has, it's ironic that the funniest parts are really about the stupidity of men. The show is basically the stereotype that all men think about is beer and women and I find that extremely funny. They show men doing stupid shit and it's hilarious. biggrin.gif Most of the sketches are about how men are phallis-driven and can't think for themselves. plus it's funny when the kid pisses people off.

When does that come on? Since I now have HBO (probably accidently) I have only checked out "Curb Your Enthusiasm" and "Six Feet Under." I must have caught an off episode of "CYE" because I didn't find it funny so much as boring, but "6FU" has definitely impressed me.

I think the Man Show is supposed to be silly and fun, whereas Howard Stern is just pretty much degrading. It's really hard to offend me, but when I flip past E! at night and see girls with self-esteem issues fighting for boob jobs or to let Howards team-o-idiots point out their physical flaws, it makes me sad. No wonder his wife left him.

Yeah, the retarded folks winning their first sexual experience with a porno star was pretty unsettling...
