Tosh.0 (pronounced Template:IPA-en) is an American television series hosted by comedian Daniel Tosh, who provides sarcastic commentary on not only various online video clips, but society, celebrities, and several other parts of popular culture.
History
Deep from the asshole of basic cable that is Comedy Central, located somewhere between their endless reruns of South Park and Reno 911, comes Tosh.0; an oh-so-hilarious show presented by professional moot impersonator Daniel Tosh. The soon to be canceled show humps the leg of the Internet, and sucks dry everything that /b/tards hold dear (Instead of honing a practical skill or talent).
Many accuse the show of being a shameless rip-off of G4's Web Soup. However, this is inaccurate, as Web Soup in itself is an unfunny spin-off of E!'s The Soup, which is actually a remake of their old show Talk Soup. There are also those who argue that the show is actually a rip-off of VH1's Web Junk, which was hosted by that one annoying white guy from Half Baked. Taking all these arguments into consideration, one inevitably reaches the conclusion that there are too many fucking television shows dedicated to "talking over funny internet videos".
While some hail the show's eponymous host Daniel Tosh as the second coming of Tom Green, in reality, he's simply a failed insult comic who constantly falls back on misogyny in order to hide his inability to come up with original content. Possibly the only amusing part of the show actually happens off-screen, as Tosh participates in "live chats" with viewers over Twitter during the premieres of new episodes. These chats basically boil down to Tosh brutally mocking anybody stupid enough to watch his show, as his own penance for allowing it to air in the first place.
Mission Statement Blogs, vlogs, tweets and pokes have taken over everyone's lives and it's high time someone takes these new technologies to task. Nothing on the Internet is safe in the hands of comedian Daniel Tosh in COMEDY CENTRAL's new series, "Tosh.0. —Comedy Central, unaware of the fact that G4 already tried and failed miserably at this venture.
Tosh has a disclaimer which states that he didn't invent the Internet; he "just makes fun of it". While anybody with half a brain should be able to figure this out on their own, Tosh realizes that his target audience is lacking even that, and constantly reiterates and repeats this disclaimer in every episode. You know; just in case you forget that he didn't actually invent the internet himself!
To meet this goal, he repeats the same three stale jokes every episode ("Women are stupid!", "Rednecks are stupid!", and "lol look at her vomit") over old viral videos, which everybody with a YouTube account has already seen at least a month prior. There are also a number of gimmick bits on the show, including a segment where he sees how many obvious observations he can make about a clip in the span of 20 seconds. However, much like the painfully unfunny That Guy With the Glasses segment "5 Second Movies", he takes far longer than the time allotted so he can dispense more hilarious bits of comedy gold before moving on to his next novelty segment.
Web Redemptions Perhaps the greatest shame is the program's "Web Redemption" segment, which is awesome in concept but executed so poorly by the show that you end up wishing they didn't even bother trying. Basically, Tosh manages to arrange interviews with the stars of viral videos (Long after they've stopped being funny or relevant), under the agreement that he will give them a "chance at redemption on live television". In other words, he tacks an extra minute onto their 15 minutes of fame, feeding their already inflated egos while simultaneously exploiting them for his own purposes.
While the idea of finding out what happened to the stars of Web 1.0 looks good on paper, Tosh's horrid interview manner sucks the lulz dry faster than the Afro Ninja fucks up a backflip. It'd be fine if he was insulting like he is during the rest of the show, but for some reason, he feels compelled to patronize these retards, despite their being smart enough to realize that participating means getting to be on TV. The end results are lulzless interview segments, followed by lulzless heavily-scripted skits in which Tosh attempts to upstage the stars while they attempt to redeem themselves.
Here is a list of old memes which Tosh has revived, only to kill again moments later.
Format
Daniel Dwight Tosh (Born May 29th, boner) is a German born 35 year old man who refuses to believe that he is no longer in college. While his outside demeanor may make him appear to be a kind and gentle man, in actuality he is a bloodthirsty Jew murderer (His only redeemable quality). His parents claim they moved to America to give him a better life.
He is a closet gay and arguably one of the unfunniest stand-up comedians working today (Only slightly better than the likes of Carlos Mencia). His inimitable observational comedy has been compared to a slow motion Dane Cook on ludes and has handfuls of people rolling in the aisles in mad dashes for the exits. In his spare time, he enjoys jacking off to YouTube Vlogs.he also during the show pinches a loaf in his hand and throws it at a random audience member....TITIES!!!!
