Worst Comedy Central Show

[Schimid]

These can be from any time. I would have to say that short-lived show, Make Me Laugh. :/

[Esuohlim]

Insomniac: With Dave Atell is stupid boring crap. >:

[Jixby Phillips]

Frank Leaves for the Orient, Strip Mall, The Man Show, The Chris Wylde Show, Battlebots, Comics on Delivery, I know there are lots more, I've watched comedy central for a long long time. I think we got it when it first was "comedy central," right after it was the comedy channel or HA! or whatever.

[Rongi]

Pretty much everything that was mentioned :(. And crank yankers.

I might get fried for this, but I don't like Wanda Sykes at all >:

[Cap'n Crunch]

Yea, she does suck. That is why she has her own show on Fox now. :rolleyes

[Rongi]

It's not like it's hard to get a show on Fox.

Look at Oliver Bean :/

[WorthlessLiar]

Glick

[Bennett]

was that "Make me Laugh" crap on Comedy Central, or was that a network show?

[Mockery]

Insomniac: With Dave Atell is stupid boring crap. >:

I disagree. I like that show a lot and he has my fucking DREAM JOB. Just getting paid to go from city to city and act like an ass wherever he wants. Plus, it's a late night job... which is right up my alley.

As for the worst show on Comedy Central, I dunno, there's a lot of 'em. South Park has always bored the shit out of me and it's only gotten worse with time... I'm not a big fan of Crank Yankers either.

The Daily Show is pretty much the only other thing that keeps me watching that station.

[Bennett]

no, let me talk awful-awful!

[Les Waste]

Don't Forget your Toothbrush.

>:

[HickMan]

Strangers With Candy >: >: >: . I wasn't a big fan of Win Ben Stien's money either, and his other show that lasted about five episodes, the name slips my mind at the moment though.

[Les Waste]

You're thinking of Turn Ben Stein On. It was meh.

Strangers with Candy ruled. >:

And Win Ben Stein's money was the only thing I really liked Jimmy Kimmel in.

And Don't Forget Your Toothbrush is still the worst show I have ever seen on comedy central, and I've been watching that network back when it used to be The Comedy Channel.

>:

[Cap'n Crunch]

The Daily Show is pretty much the only other thing that keeps me watching that station.

You were on that show. >: I like the Daily Show because it makes fun of the news.

[Miss Modular]

I think this thread belongs to Crank Yankers.

[Esuohlim]

Strangers With Candy >: >: >:

You don't even deserve to watch Comedy Central, then. >:

My vote also goes to Comic Remix, which is the most unsatifying stand-up comedy half hour ever. The best stand-up they can muster isnt even the good stand-up, and there's only about three good ones in each show, and they only have 15 seconds of their clip played while the unfunnies get five minutes. >:

Oh yeah, and the R*@$T of Chevy Chase was rather disappointing as well. :(

[Schimid]

WTF? The Daily Show is, like, my favorite show.

But I forgot about Glick, and I think you're right. Though Insomniac is just the same thing over and over.

I REALLY thought Tough Crowd was going to suck, but it's awesome. Colin Quinn isn't a funny man.

[James]

The Daily Show is funny, but I miss Craig Kilborn. He was sexy. And his late night show sucks. Except for that time he made everyone call him Tender Vittles. That was pretty funny.

Anyway:

-Make Me Laugh. That host deserved to have an imp jump down his throat, and shit into his stomach.
-Don't Forget Your Tootherbrush. Mark Curry can suck my white ass. That show was not funny.
-Crank Yankers. Yes, I watch it. They have some kickass people on every now and then. But as a whole, I wouldn't miss it one bit.
-Primetime Glick. It is so fucking boring.
-Win Ben Stein's Money. Really sucked when that Nancy chick left. I had nothing to masturbate to anymore.
-Battlebots. Nuff saif.
-League of Gentlemen (I think that's the name). Boring English TV show that didn't last long. Thank God.
-Bob & Margaret. Wasn't the worst, but did nothing for me.
-The new Trigger Happy TV. They completely lost what made it funny in the first place.
-Chapelle Show. Fuck you guys who think it's funny. I'm not a black person, so I can't enjoy his style of humor. They should get rid of him, and make it the Paul Mooney Show. At least that guy's funny sometimes.

[Schimid]

-Battlebots. Nuff saif.

:lol

I thought I was gonna miss him, but I like Jon Stewart better now. :/

[James]

Jon Stewart is nowhere near as sexy as Craig Kilborn.

"Well. Today's Friday, and I just wanna dance, dance, dance." :(

[ItalianStereotype]

1. Primetime Glick
2. Crank Yankers
3. Let's Bowl!
4. Beat the Geeks
5. Strip Mall
6. Travel Sick
7. Absolutely Fabulous
8. Gary and Mike
9. Turn Ben Stein On
10. All four of the movies that Comedy Central ever plays, including Porn 'n Chicken.

[James]

What IS Turn Ben Stein On? I never heard of it, so I imagine it must have sucked HARD.

And I forgot about Beat the Geeks, AbFab, and Let's Bowl. Gary and Mike doesn't necessarily count, because they bought the reruns from ABC or someone.

Travel sick is OK. It's not the best, but it's enjoyable from time to time. And I'm probably the only person here who wanted at least one more season of Strip Mall so they could have a finale. And I sort of liked the Christ Wylde show. Sort of. :(

[Les Waste]

Turn Ben Stein on was a half-hour-long interview with a celebrity, with Ben Stein being the interviewer. It wasn't on for very long, but there's a reason for that.

Let's Bowl wasn't that great, but the co-host was funny. And I really didn't like that it was like The People's Court, like there had to be a premise for why two people would want to bowl against each other.

[Mockery]

Strangers With Candy >: >: >:

You are a fool. I should ban you for speaking such ignorance.

[Jixby Phillips]

I wouldn't call Crank Yankers a bad show. It's a "meh" show that features many unfunny performances. Sometimes it has a good moment. I remember I caught an episode and thought "this show really isn't SO bad, it's KINDA funny." then I found it out I had just watched a best-of episode :( Okay, it does suck, but I can't hate the show itself, just the performances on it. If that makes sense.

Primetime Glick I really really like. I didn't like it the first time I watched it, but the interviews are hilarious and the character is a perfect parody of these kind of talk show hosts that feed these fevered egos that taint our collective unconscious (to rip off a phrase from Bill Hicks). Add a layer of purely silly slapstick and it makes for a hilarious show. The Character's interaction with the celebrities is pretty much what drives the show, and the sketches on it are pretty much miss and miss. I've heard one arguement that the sketches are supposed to be bad, and a parody of the kind of sketches done on late night talk shows, which kinda makes sense, but still, if true, doesn't really make them much more enjoyable. I don't know, maybe the character doesn't carry a whole show that well, but it's too good, IMO, to just have him be a recurring character on a sketch show (like he was on Martin Short's short-lived morning talk show).

Make Me Laugh was a remake of a network show, in fact the show has been remade a few other times before it was on comedy central. I think it originated in the 50's.

I seriously am disapointed with myself for forgetting "Don't Forget Your Toothbrush." The whole idea was to embarass people, but all the stuff they did on the show seemed so joyless. Mark Curry didn't seemed amused by anything, he just shouted all of his lines. And the people who had to go through all the different things seemed like they didn't care. I remember a moment on that show that was pretty much identical to a moment on the original British show that it was based on, which really exposed to me how fucking fake it all is. They couldn't even sell the fakeness of it well. It wasn't even joyless; fuck, it was emotionless. It wasn't mean or giddy or anything, it was just fake and boring.

Anybody who thinks Strangers WIth Candy sucks is a clueless idiot. The show had layers upon layers of hilarity that required many viewings of each episode in order to take it all in. silly gags on top of smart social satire, subtle wordplay jokes and gross-out humor that disguises it's smartness and makes it like a wonderful gift waiting to be unwrapped. And the SMELL! Oh the smell!

I don't think there was anything wrong with Ben Stein's money, it wasn't hilarious, but it's not like it was offensvie that it was on comedy central or anything. Turn Ben Stein On had ONE hilarious concept: Let's interview people while having a dog run around doing tricks. But after you see that once it's not very funny anymore. Unless you begin to wonder if that's how he pitched it: "It's a talk show WITH A DOGGIE!" then it's fucking hilarious forever.

Comic Remix just makes me mad because when I see a good clip, I just want that whole show the clip was from. I wish they reran the A-List or Comedy Product. I wish they reran more old stuff like that.

Insomniac is fun, but not funny. I don't get when people are impressed by it, but it's a fun show that makes me wish I thought of that idea and had the power to do it myself.

The worst things about Tough Crowd is that one lady who takes all the jokes seriously (Bobo knows what I am talking about >:) and the one guy whos in like every episode who repeats his "shocking" racist joke when nobody gets shocked by them. Also, I hate when they get into some kind of interesting discussion, it never gets far because it'll be killed by some dumb joke, as if somebody got poked off camera by a comedy central exec who is trying to remind the participants in the discussion that it's a "comedy" show. Colin Quinn is a shitty host, but I don't think he's unfunny. I think he just has a very hard time talking.

Battlebots was not funny in any way.

I LOVED the League of Gentlemen. The first episode sucked, but the rest of it was so easy to get into. Fucking fantastic black humor. The episodes are a lot better uncut.

I remember when Bob and Margaret was just a short cartoon they used to show on Cartoon Network all the time on that "O' Canada" show. Did nothing for me either. I didn't really think we were counting imports...

Half of Chapelle's Show is pretty shit. The other half is funny, and a lot of it is clever.

Craig Kilborn interviewed Bob and David twice on the Daily Show and pretended to know about Mr. Show and stuff, but when he had Paul Tompkins on his Late show to promote "Real Time with Bill Mahar," he mentioned "Dag" as one of his previous projects to the audience when introducing him, but NOT Mr. Show. Fucking dicksucker.

I like Let's Bowl. It was pure (PURE SHIT HAHAH NOW YOU CAN'T SAY IT YOU GAYS). It had a sleezy charm to it like Bowling Alleys do. Maybe it wasn't funny but it was fucking fun as hell to watch. The whole People's Court concept is something that originated from the original show they did on local television in Minneapolis. I loved some of the cases, like one where two brothers competed over who their dead mother loved best. It's amazing that they could make a bowling show as entertaining as it was.

Beat the Geeks was completely uninteresting.

Absolutely Fabulous (the first three series, anyway) is fantastic.

Gary and Mike is shit, I remember it from UPN/MTV.

<SARCASM><SARCASM></SARCASM></SARCASM>

[Zhukov]

The league of Gentleman was hilarious, I still get phonecalls from my sister asking me if I "Wanna buy some pegs, Dave?"

I liked the part where the vet pulled the horses' intestines out. I laughed so hard I shat myself.


The Australian version of 'Don't forget your Toothbrush' had the worst host in the history of telivision - Tim Ferguson. When I feel down, I just remind myself that one day he might not be on tv - he might even be dead. Apart from Him, the show suffered pretty much how jixby said. The reason they gave for only having a few episodes was that they ran out of money, BAH! what a load of cock!

[kellychaos]

Glick

Was Martin Short funny in anything? EVER?! >:

[Les Waste]

I really judge Crank Yankers on each individual segment. Some of the calls are really funny. What I think the problem is with most of the sketches is that the person being cranked REALIZES they are being cranked halfway through the crank call, and that just sucks all the joy out of it. It's funny when they know they're being cranked called and they get really mad, but that almost never happens. Usually they just play along with it and that sucks. :(

I don't know why everyone hates Primetime Glick. To me it seems everyone says they hate it without watching it because everyone fucking hates Martin Short. Which is understandable because even though I think the show is funny, I still hate him.

What I really hated about Don't Forget your Toothbrush is that these people were supposed to do really outrageous, embarrassing things to win prizes, but the things they had to do weren't that bad. They were things like "hang upside down" or "dress up like a baby and talk to people." It was like a PG-rated Jackass game show. It would still suck if they had the contestants actually do interesting shit, but the fact that they didn't just made it that much worse.

[Mockery]

And because what Jixby said about Strangers With Candy was so right on the money, here it is again, in bold yellow lettering!

[HickMan]

What could I say, I don't really like Strangers with candy :/ . I liked the USO comedy tour though. Most of it wasn't funny, but about once an episode, you had a good comic that should be more popular than everybody else on Comedy Central (coughWandaSykescough). Comedy Central Presents is very funny when you have somebody actually funny on there. A good example is Lewis Black.

[Schimid]

It's not that (At least for me). I just don't think it's all that funny.

[Anonymous]

I heard that Longmont was on one of the first few episodes of crank yankers. Longmont is pretty much the only prank caller worth listening to.

Gonna turn your face into birdseed.

[JonSwift]

Strangers with candy :) :)

Kids in the Hall was funny too

[Zbu Manowar]

I don't mind Strangers with Candy. Hell, it was something to watch after Duckman....better than that fucking Sports Night shit. But as for worst, Primetime Glick. Is it too late to hire out the cast of SCTV to hunt down Martin Short and beat the living hell out of him? That man has wasted all the good karma he's had.

[whoreable]

I never liked leauge of gentlement. I guess when it replaced ucb and i saw the first episode I hated it, so I dont think I ever gave it much of a chance since then.

Glick is alright in concept, and it is fun to watch it a little, but it got old to me.

Crank Yankers would be so much cooler to me if I actually could watch the celebrities make the calls and see how they reacted to em and stuff. If the calls were all improv and not so scripted then the show could be fucking hilarious.

Comedy Central masta gotten some terrible execs a few years ago, because they had some extremely shitty shows, and canceled the fun ones.

I also miss viva variety.

[Cap'n Crunch]

Yea, what ever happened to Viva Variety?

I think Primetime Glicks is boring, and I don't really find it funny.

I think Insomniac is one of the top 3 shows on CC right now. I think it is funny how he finds all of these wierd people to do stuff with. Oh yeah, he is drunk the whole time through, which makes him even funnier.

Beat the Geaks is bland. All the people are Star Trek nerds on it, and they just watch old videos of that stuff all day. Nothing funny is on it.

South Park is dumb, and the plots are complete shit. I give the guys credit of coming up with that stuff on the spot, but they have the same jokes used over and over again.

Don't Forget Your Toothbrush was terrible.

Strangers With Candy was funny, but they show it too late now. I also forgot to go pick up the DVD.

Crank Yankers has some funny things, and some unfunny things. It depends on what show it is, or the variety of the calls, but sometimes it is funny.

Daily Show is great, and the reporter, not John, is really funny.

That is my 2 cents. :(

[Psycho Squid]

Any game show on Comedy Central besides Win Ben Stein's Money just plain sucked. The worst one had to be VS. with that stupid unfunny fuck Greg Proops. I hated all those retarded themes like "goths vs beauty queens" and "Indians vs cowboys." I'm just surprised no one here has mention this crappy game show, if you will even call it a game show.

[James]

It is common for one to block certain traumatic experiences from their memory.

[Kitty of Doom]

Does anyone remember Dr. Katz? I found it funny at times but all that squiggiling hurt my eyes.

[whoreable]

of course. it was pretty good.

[Grazzt]

The Man Show is probably the worst television show ever. Here, let me sum it up:

Hey, Jimmy. Do you have a hard on? 'Cause I sure do.

Yup, Adam. Hard on. Beer. Tits. Making fun of things I don't understand.

Plus, how was Jimmy Kimmel funny on Win Ben Stein's Money? All he ever did was stand there and say dumbass things.

[puke511]

lets bowl was a horrible show, i dont know who thought of that idea, but hopefully they are no longer a part of comedy central because i dont wanna see another lame idea like that.

[Immortal Goat]

Yeah, Lets Bowl sucked donky dong. Whoever said Strangers With Candy Sucks deserves a swift kick in tiny genitles. Yes, at first, i didn't get it, but I was young and stupid. Now, however, i can fully appreciate its genious.

[HickMan]

Amen :rock

[macgruder]

Shows I didnt care for:

Dont Forget Your Toothbrush
Lets Bowl
Vs.


Shows I love(d):

Trigger Happy TV
Ab Fab
Beat the Geeks(sorry)
countless others

Shows i cant wait for:

Im with Busey

[aeQea]

..

[O71394658]

Beat the Geeks is moderately good, but it gets very repetitive and boring after the 500th viewing.

Crank Yankers is completely relative to the individual segments. Some are just terrible, while others are quite good. Unfortunately, most suck.

Insomniac is a pretty good show. It also gets kind of boring...but it still has somg zing to it.

For Colin Quinn, it depends entirely on who the comics are and what they're discussing.

I'm surprised not many people like Glick. I think that show is great, especially the interviews... :)

The Daily Show owns: especially due to Lewis Black.

I wasn't impressed by "I'm With Busey". Wasn't horrible, but wasn't that great. Not to mention drag queens REALLY freak me out.

I watch that channel for Friday Night Standup. I love that. Except the female comics. Sorry, but I don't think I've ever seen one funny female comic in my life.

[Esuohlim]

Janeane Garofalo >:

[Daphne]

I love when people say they've never seen a funny female comic.

[O71394658]

Janeane Garofalo >:

Sorry. Didn't think she was funny.

[Daphne]

Aren't you like, 16? Maybe you just aren't old enough to know what 'funny' is.

[noob3]

When I was 16 I liked her! And that was like, 5 months ago.

[Daphne]

yeah well I know you're smart, look who your mom is!

[SLjimbo]

For some reason, I'm thinking Daily Show is going downhill. I use to like it a couple of years ago, but now I hate it.

Also, Comedy Central should stay as far away from game shows. Just about every game show except Ben Stein's Money have failed miserably.

I don't know about you guys, but I enjoy the reruns of Gallagher shows.

[Schimid]

Yeah, but Gallagher comes on every once in a while and that's it. The Daily Show has been getting better, in my opinion. I used to hate Jon Stewart and think no one could replace Kilborn. I was stupid. :(

[Spasmolytic]

the following shows suck(ed) ass:

Let's Bowl
The Man Show
Crank Yankers
Strip Mall
Chris Wylde Show
ANY show starring Ben Stein
Don't Forget Your Toothbrush

the following shows kick(ed) ass:

Strangers with Candy
Undergrads
Clerks
The Critic
The Daily Show
Insomniac w/ Dave Attell

[choptop]

I seriously hated crank yankers. They took an idea that seemed fairly entertaining: "make prank calls, then re-enact them with puppets". But then they ruined it with bad pranks, and pointless gags. Absolutely Fabulous was a pretty good show, with some witty humor here, 'n there. South park is okay not a really good show but it doesn't completely suck. Upright citizen's brigade, kids in the hall, and strangers with candy were absolute hilarity.

[Rongi]

I don't remember what Strip Mall was about :(

[Black Flag]

it was about a strip mall

[Professor Cool]

The only shows that I ever watched on comedy central are:

MST3K (CANCELLED)
Upright Citzens Brigade (CANCELLED)
Strangers with Candy (CANCELLED)
Kids in the Hall (Reruns stopped showing)
And the Critic (is it on anymore?)

The only shows I watch now is Daily Show and Conan if i miss the episode at night.

Sooner or later they will cancel daily show and stop showing conan and have nothing but re-runs of SNL day-on and day-on.

Note on KITH: I loved the theme tune.

[liquidstatik]

The Critic doesnt come on all the time I dont think, but some times it comes on after Dilbert... really late at night.
