| The
Review: |
Politically incorrect humor still
has its place. Just look at Comedy Central any day of the
week and you’re bound to find something to offend anyone.
Luckily, Jimmy Kimmel and Adam Carolla of “The Man Show” don’t
care about offending just anyone they want to offend everyone.
That makes for some very funny TV and politically incorrect
humor at that. Hey, if you want politically correct humor
tune in to one of the major networks and watch one of their
new, inoffensive comedies (“Arrested Development” an exception
to that rule). ***
Featuring all 25 episodes from
season three, you can now watch “The Man Show”. Oh, and more
importantly, every episode doesn’t scatter the humor among
a series of sketches (a la the tired “SNL” although of late
it has improved a bit), instead every episode has a theme
to offend. Whether it be “Sperm Banks”, “The Outdoors”, “Drunken
Pilots”, “Breast Feeding Juggies” and “Assoholics Anonymous”.
This show isn’t strictly for the alpha male but it helps if
you are one. Many women enjoy this show (I can’t speak for
all women though) and some just tolerate it because their
men enjoy the show. Either way, you do owe it to yourself
to at least catch it on Comedy Central or rent one or two
episodes. If you’re not offended, keep watching because you
will be. Really, “The Man Show” is a male’s fantasy. ---

and Sound: |
Bigger than
triple D’s and brighter than Victoria’s Secret Underwear, “The
Man Show” looks pretty good. The series is videotaped and has
some limitations due to its format but you’re not watching this
show for the picture quality. The stereo surround sound puts
you right in the audience. You actually feel like you might
be there. Maybe. You’ll be happy perhaps that you aren’t (would
you want your boss to see you on this show? Much worse, would
you want them to admit that they are watching this show where
they saw you). |
| The
Extras: |
Deleted
scenes that didn’t make it because of time constraints. It
includes “Unseen Girls on Trampolines”, “Aliens”, “Women in
Sports”. “Women in Sports”. For those thinking that there’s
more offensive material or stuff they couldn’t show, sorry
folks that just ain’t the case. We also get extras for other
Eagle Entertainment shows such as “The Mole”, “Celebrity Mole”
(where has been TV stars go to die), “Oblivious” a game show
where you don’t know you’re on. Imagine “Candid Camera” with
money and you’ve seen it. You don’t know you’re playing and,
if you do end up playing or hosting, you can extras cash as
well. I wasn’t all that impressed with the extras. It’s hard
to top what was broadcast. ---

How could
you possibly comment on this series? What would you say that
could possibly match it? |
| Final
Words: |
“The Man
Show” clearly made for men although you don’t have to be a man
to enjoy it. Just a little bit of a desire to hear rude jokes,
politically incorrect sexist humor and lots of references to
sex and you’re perfect for this show. Did I mention scantily
clad women? Did I mention references to “boners”? If I didn’t
I’m sorry. If I did, I’m sorry I offended you. Hey, if you’re
reading this you wanted to be offended, right? |
