Last night I sat down to watch Tosh.0 like I do every week. It has to be in my top five favorite TV show. I have never missed at episode. The only thing that was different last night, was that I watched it with one of my friends. This particular friend had never seen an episode of Tosh.0 before. She had always heard great things about it though. We had just got done watching Glee, so we switched over to Comedy Central and watched the two old episodes leading up to the new Tosh.0 at 9 pm. This is where the tables turned.
Some of you may not know what Tosh.0 is. It is a half- hour of stand up comedy performed by Daniel Tosh. He shows various video clips of people doing stupid things and he makes comments on them. I will admit that most of his comments are a little rude and racy, but that's why people, including myself, love him.
So back to last night, my friend and I started watching the new episode. I thought it was interesting that she barely found any of his jokes funny. I was sitting there with sore abs from laughing so hard and she seems uninterested. I couldn't believe that I had found someone that hated Daniel Tosh, one of the best comedians ever! So she sat there for an hour and a half looking less than amused. Finally when the show was all over I asked her what she thought. I was not expecting her answer.
She was disgusted by Daniel. She said that she had never heard someone talk so poorly about women in her life. Granted Tosh.0 is filled with jokes about how women cause 100% of car accidents and the many ways that men are better than women. This just never bothered me. I always thought everything was funny, but apparently she took everything he said to heart. I never realized until last night how many condescending remarks Daniel makes about women, but never the less I will always remain a faithful fan.
