Bullshitting again

[broberfett]

I've watched some recent Penn and Teller Bullshit and I've seen some funny stuff on there like Dolphin wackos and Green nuts. Now it isn't as funny as the infamous Alien Abduction episode that revealed George Bush Sr. to be a lizard man(and by extension reveals George W. Bush to be at least a half lizard man), but it is pretty good. I enjoy their ridiculous use of extensive unnecessary nudity and there are some good sight gags.

For whatever reason, it seems to have lost its lustre. Although, it's episode on NASA was at least kind of biting.

 

[broberfett]

A couple years ago I had given up on it, but I'm enjoying it again.

 

[firehawk12]

It's just that most of their topics are almost inherently "bullshit" that it's sort of a waste of time. Like the one this week is "Sensitivity Training". Of course that's bullshit...

 

[broberfett]

I watched the sensitivity training episode and I could have done without the little naked dudes, but it showed the colossal bullshit that is sensitivity training(of course), but every company in America does it. The manager assholes and CEOs don't think it is bullshit. There are people that go around perpetually offended sending other people to those re-education camps all the time.

 

[firehawk12]

Haha, maybe America is more fucked up than I thought.

...like Dolphin wackos...

"Dolphin wackos?"

You know. People who "whack" dolphins. Mafia style.

I actually helped design a Diversity Management Program for my organization. The key here is to not highlight common diversity issues, but the stress that everyone is working as a team to satisfy the organization mission statement. Most people will stop with the bullshit when they realize that it hurts their performance.

I was thinking "artificial insemination" style.

I loved the episode on PETA. I didn't care for the Bible episode, though. Who doesn't know that the Noah's Ark story was logically impossible?

Every Christian on the planet.

I also love the PETA episode and the gun episode is also wonderful. They are only in favor of guns for the violent overthrow of the government.

And I like episodes that have both sexes nude, seems only fair. There is a numbers episode and they go "yes this is boring, here are some tits".

Sigh. Wish I still had Showtime.

I could go to my parents and probably watch it OnDemand, or I *guess* I could get Showtime (and thus OnDemand.) I looked on-line and couldn't find any (legit) ways to watch it. Guess it makes sense Sho wouldn't stream their episodes.

As for Torrents. I've not the patience for them. Sorry, I don't have the better part of the week to download something.

Even better - Artificial insemination. Mafia style.

"You've been double-whacked, baby!"

I really don't know where I'm going with this....

I like the bottled water episode, when they made that fake water restaurant. I still talk about that episode.

 

[firehawk12]

Hah, yeah, that was cute that it was all tap water.

I never understood people who only drink "spring" water. I mean, when I buy water, I know I'm paying for the plastic and that's fine with me, since I almost always reuse the bottles anyway.

Speaking of which... sports bottles are kind of bullshit too.

Huh? Torrents are usually up within the day, and download within the hour... *ahem* So I hear...
