SMF © 2019, Simple Machines | some icons from famfamfam I just think he's so over-the-top with his act that I don't see how he could be taken seriously enough for somebody to be upset. He's actually often self-aware and self-deprecating on his show, which works to his favor in my opinion. And his whole douchebag fraternity bro vibe is just an act. What's the point of getting upset by humor that is only meant to shock when there's clearly no intent to harm? Tosh's prejudiced jokes, whether they're racist, sexist, or anything else, are so tongue-in-cheek that it's impossible to perceive them as legitimately being his feelings toward any group of people. Jokes can't hurt anybody unless they let them. If a joke is funny, it's funny, and I find Tosh's jokes consistently clever enough to make me laugh. I think that there are a few times where he may have crossed the line a little, but honestly I think unless you're making a humorless personal attack on somebody, most of those lines were meant to be crossed for the sake of comedy. Tachy, I think that anybody who watches Tosh.0 knows that it's offensive. In my opinion Tosh.0 does, so I wouldn't personally compare the two shows. No amount of offensive usually bothers me, as long as it's done in a way that works comedically, but this show just doesn't have that. I love Tosh.0 but Brickleberry does nothing for me. If "Brickleberry" gets renewed and "Futurama" doesn't, heads will fucking roll. He refuses to play a character that isn't offensive or could be deemed "uncool".
Tosh doesn't seem to take any bullets for himself. It's basically Tosh playing a perfect version of himself. Tosh's voice does not go well with the character, and he doesn't seem to even give an effort of acting to the role (other than being Tosh). The character is never really insulted in the show. He has no flaws whatsoever, other than being gluttonous (which only makes the character "cuter" or "funnier"). And Daniel Tosh's character, the bear cub, has cultivated a hatred towards him for me. It is the only reason that show attracts and audience yet alone was considered to be produced by Comedy Central. While I do enjoy the girl from "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" doing some voice acting (reminds me of Nicole Sullivan), Daniel Tosh's character is purely the selling point of the show. I watched an episode or two (by "watching", I mean the show came on on a television in the same room as I was using my computer).
Offensive, yes, but offensive isn't always funny.
