OK, so I decided to give Tough Crowd With Colin Quinn a second chance. What a mistake. The first episode sucked the big one. So far, the second edition, is shaping up to be an even more racist, sexist, sizeist, homophobic, xenophobic, unfunny wank-fest than the first one.
Colin himself, is turning out to be quite the little bigot. Just prior to the start of the show, he was wheeled out onto The Daily Show (for a second time) - to promote the show. If that isn't a sign of how badly this new tele-visual turd is doing in the ratings, I don't know what is.
In the course of one three-minute interview, he managed to let us know that supports the death penalty, and that he thinks, "black people have caused suffering for him, because of the way they look at people, and always blast 'their' rap music". Those remarks alone, ought to get his show cancelled - if there is any justice at Comedy Central.
Colin's actual show seems to consist of four (alleged) comedians, plus Colin, all claiming to be discussing issues of the day, whilst using their on-air time to demonstrate what a bunch of bigoted unfunny assholes they are.
I'm not going to dignify the show by going into detail about what was discussed, suffice to say that each and every discussion, degenerated into the participants being racially, or ethnically abusive to each other.
To make matters worse, they dish out all this bigoted abuse, with a "Aren't I being post-modern, and edgy" grin, on their asinine faces.
No, you are not being post-modern. You are not being ironic. You are just showing yourselves to be the bigoted homophobes you are. Get the fuck off my television.
In a fit of channel-hopping, I ended up watching part of the amusingly titled, "Playmate Of The Apes" - just about the funniest thing I've seen on TV in a while, if only for the character name, Dr Cornholius.`
