Ok...so i am a bit behind the times...i know...but a friend reccomended the series to me and i am hooked...i've finished the 1st season and absolutely LOVE the show...

lots of cool topics....lots of good info...ill admit some of it may seem bias...but i could always call the people they interview and get the facts from them...so far my favorite is the second hand smokers...lol...why the hell do people hate smokers SO much...jebus christ... 😛 anywho...poll...talk...yay!
 
I've only seen a few episodes, but they were all hilarious.

The one where they had that etiquette teacher lady on there was great. That lady was psycho.
 
Excellent show, but there should be some options besides those listed. Definitely not the best ever, no major holes and not a "meh".

fixed... 😛 well sort of, lol
 
They're awesome live about 6 years ago. I met Penn, he's freakin huge. seemed almost 7' tall. I doubt he's that tall, but it's close.

Their infamous "catching a bullet in the teeth" trick was sweet.

I've loved those guys and what they have to say from day one, and if you had to classify me I'd fall into "Conservative Republican", so go figure.

Yeah, awesome show, rent the DVD's.

I only saw the abstinence episode, but I found that episode decently interesting.

also saw the same episode... some of the things they totally misinterpreted or manipulated to favor their perspective (fvck like rabbits, please).

some good, some bad, but i suppose no informational production will be completely unbiased.

It's for entertainment only, not good journalism. Plus half the info in the recycling show was total bologna. I can't imagine the second-hand smoke one was any good either. Propaganda IMO.
 
Its a very funny show. The only part that bugs me is how prententious and pompous they are, but I can get over that. Also, like others have said, its a good show, but not good journalism. They never take on the other point of view unless their goal is too humiliate someone or prove their side.
 
i've seen the recycling one (since I've always wondered if it has been beneficial at all). I'm really curious as to a real independent look at the topic.

I've also caught bits of the college one, and agree to a point.. mainly because I'm dumb and followed the "hey, i'm done w/ HS, i'm suppose to go to college" routine.

They are libertarians, so you kind of have to expect it to be leaning towards that at least a little bit. Their PETA episode is priceless.

Oh, and a little more about abstinence 😉 (A little NSFW)

hahah....QFT....
i havnt seen some of the episodes that some are talking about...but i agree they do come off as a bit haughty and they only look at the other side in humor because most of the time its so fvking stupid you cant help but make fun of it...i had a lot of stipulations about some of the topics ive seen so far and the show spread a lot of light on the subject....the thing that i like is the show is based on logic...err...to a certain extent...and science...you can go test the things yourself (EX. penis enlargment, dieting, etc.) and have your own results...thats why science rules...its not something you just have to beleive...if you have your doubts...go do it yourself...

Sucks when pesky facts get in the way of your world view, huh?
