    Quite Bad, Lacks Laughs

    This show had bad comedians telling bad jokes about video clips they found online or something. They were trying very hard but just weren't funny. A show like Tosh.0 is actually better and I don't like that show much at all. It just seems so cheap and easy. I have more fun cracking jokes at work with buddies and we should be way less funny than a comedian on TV.

    Almost Unwatchable

    Scratch that, it's not almost unwatchable it is 100% unwatchable. This show basically recycles the same silly YouTube clips every other similar show has already used and used better. What I don't understand is how they can use clips that other shows even on the same channel have used but still have the worst jokes to go along with them. The comedians and hosts they use are dumb as bricks and can't think of a single funny thing to say. It doesn't even look good, with just basic green screen and editing software. I can't say enough about how bad this show is. I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out it was actually a home video project made by a high school A/V club.

    Decent Idea Ruined

    This is a fun premise for a show but the people on it are just so unfunny it ruins any chance it has of finding an audience. If they had funny or interesting people or celebrities this might be a good show, or if they had writers to tell them funny things to say. Maybe they do have writers and they're just bad. I don't know, all I know is this show is awful because none of the presenters are funny, but if they had funny people I could see it being a really successful formula for a show, so it's kind of hard for me to rate it.

    rehash of tru TV's other shows

    I'm sure the hosts are nice people but they are not funny at all Hosts are not needed. Painful to watch. Also aprox 30% of their video clips are used from tru TV's cancelled shows, ie WD and other shows from other networks. I think this show is cancelled, hope so Bring back new WD's. Leave it to some b__hole at the network to fix something that's not broken

    One of the Worst

    This is one of the worst shows I've ever seen in my entire life. None of the jokes are funny and the people on it all suck.
