Genius?

Really don't understand the people who think this is genius comedy. It seems people like the show because it's not afraid to be mildly offensive, which I can get, but that's hardly enough to call it genius. The problem is that even though I'll give it credit for being daring, most of the jokes are cheap and not particularly well crafted.
