FIGHT!!!!!!

who the fuck finds this guy funny
-
no one, the guy is a serious pain in the ass.
-
the fuel tv joke was the only funny part of that whole laugh track.
-
Not gonna lie... foam pit made me laugh.
-
Anyone got another link to this video? I can't access it from my work and the Hellaclips video is down.
And if it is all jokes, why is Rob getting butt hurt? Would think he could just brush this kind of stuff off. I guess I have to see the vid.

Laugh tracks are so corny.

I can't stand this dude...

not a fan of either of these dudes tv shows but id have to give it to daniel tosh... at least he tries to make jokes about the shitty regurgitated videos he uses rob just explains what happens slowly and over-dramatically
-
ok i just watched it, i can't believe rob thinks that skit is enough to have beef over, getting offended by that just means hes a limp dick bitch
-
who the fuck finds this guy funny
i like his show

I really hate Daniel Tosh, but the foam pit part was funny. Also, Rob Dyrdek's tweets are seriously embarrassing to read.

I think Dyrdeks responses have fallen into the "sarcasm doesn't transfer well on the internet" category.

you reckon dyrdek knows what sarcasm is?

i support mainstream belittling of skateboarding

No. but he knows good publicity when he sees it.

Um, hello: The beef can't be serious since they filmed part of that Tosh clip in the Fantasy Factory itself.
The real question is: why it was a web redemption? He pulled off both the blunt and surviving getting hit by a truck. Win and Win.

Tosh belittles women and all races. Don't be so sensitive. Fine satire.

This beef has been going on for awhile. I remember seeing a clip from some MTV awards where Tosh was presenting and he threw a diss towards Dyrdek's Ridiculousness
Also, I found this article that I think is several months old...
http://espn.go.com/espn/page2/index?id=6885248 (http://espn.go.com/espn/page2/index?id=6885248)
here's the good part)
"Ridiculousness," according to MTV, features Dyrdek's unique take on some of today's funniest amateur viral videos and builds them into episodes of edgy, funny and timeless television.
Sounds like "Tosh.0" on Comedy Central, right?
Even Daniel Tosh, who is heading into his fourth season this fall, sees the comparison. On Twitter recently, Tosh said, "Congrats @robdyrdek. new show looks very funny & familiar."
Dyrdek shot back: "Thanks you so much @danieltosh !! Maybe later this week you, @BobSaget and @Tom_Bergeron can come down to my factory and play."

Come on that shit was pretty funny, you gotta be able to laugh at yourself from time to time.
The kid that got hit by the truck was awesome, a real sport and he skated good!
Fruitbooter was the best part.
I been a Dyrdek fan since Memory Screen but dude needs to learn how to take a joke.
-
I really fucking hate Tosh, whether that's his first or last name, which I'm not really sure of. I was at some girl's house once and she insisted I watch it because it was so funny. In other words, I wouldn't get laid if I didn't watch it. Ten minutes later I was out the door, my dick completely soft and dry. She wasn't nearly worth sitting through any more of that shit.
-

I love how everyone keeps saying this^, as if this skit is the first Jab Tosh.O has made at Dyrdek
As I pointed out in my earlier post: this beef has existed for almost a year. It started with a little back and forth between Tosh & Dyrdek on twitter (when Ridiculousness first came out), then Tosh made a dig at Dyrdek on stage at a televised awards show (sending the crowd into a mix of boos and cheers), and finally Tosh.O makes this newest skit.
Now I'm not trying to take sides or whatever in this, I'm just simply putting into context the way things have played out (in order) during the past year. Dyrdek is probably feeling like "enough is enough dude, fuck you"

Fair enough, I guess I don't follow shit like this enough to know the whole history but even if this "Beef" (and this has to be the lightest sense of the word ever) is old news it's still amusing that someone who has regularly been taking the piss out of people for years is upset about this nonsense.
I found it funny but if Dyrdek wants to go all Mobb Deep on the guy, let 'em.
Any pub is good pub as they say.

point taken, I thought you were being sarcastic. But he's a comedian, basically all he does is belittle things. I don't understand how this somehow makes skating more raw or underground or whatever you are getting at. Plus by the looks of his drop in, maybe he used to skate.

If Dyrdek is such a businessman/entrepreneur/hustler/(whatever euphemism you want to give to people whose chief passion in life is making money) I'm surprised he doesn't sue Tosh(or perhaps he knows that satire is protected under the 1st amendment). But threatening him with violence clearly sends home the message that he is not as clever or artistic as Tosh.

@rob-I am not a comedian or an actor so unfortunately for @danieltosh we are going to have to settle this the old fashion way.. #seeyousoon
@danieltosh-fair enough but if you have to beat me up, can we film it and put it on my show so people will actually watch it?
@rob-Cool...that would be a dream come true to be on the world's very first video clip show TOSH.O @danieltosh
Round one goes to Tosh. Good comeback

yeah that was a really funny segment. even the skateboarding criticism in the beginning was probably the funniest i've heard from a non-skater
"drama, you gotta see this!!"
tosh needs to know about the berrics, talk about jesus juice...

I was surprised Tosh could drop in. That shit was funny though, Dyrdek being upset about is gay. Just clown his ass back.

No shit, Drydek doesn't have 10% the wit that tosh does. Dude's fucking hilarious. I actually think Rob's a decent guy who can be sort of funny and I don't blame him for selling out and whatever else people hate on him for, but he'll get annihilated in any sort of "battle of the words" with Tosh. It's like watching a high schooler who thinks he's funny because he's the class clown go up against a pro comedian. He hasn't even figured out how to laugh at himself yet.

Comedy Central (as well as ESPN) hates people with iphones and doesn't want us to see shit. I always check YouTube and google before begging here, but often to no avail.

This "beef" has to be a joke. I don't believe Rob is really that butt hurt.

I love that daniel's defense on the theft of the fantasy factory idea was the defense rob essentially used about his show being a direct rip off of tosh.0. something along the lines of " i thought of the idea years ago, but was too consumed with other projects". yeah, okay rob, i guess al gore invented the internet too.

I'm guessing tepid 'publicity stunt'-ish thing, but either way, it was much more entertaining to read Sk8Dood and strike a pose's back-and-forth.

I think Tosh is hilarious. He doesn't hold back on anybody. If you can't laugh at yourself, who can you laugh at?
The part of the bit where they were at the pseudo fantasy factory obviously was a dig at Dyrdek, but the part with the kids all over was a dig at skateboarding in general (throughout the bit, in in our daily lives as skaters, we are told that skating is for kids). Now the part with the kids with no shirts on, I see that as Tosh's personal touch. He says/does stuff that makes people uncomfortable.
The worst part about Dyrdek is the non-skateboard world's impression of him. Every time that show comes up with a non-skater the first thing out of their mouth is "He is so funny!". I try to not be that smug, aloof skater and just go along with it. But we skaters all know that in the skate world, he is far from funny. In fact, not only is he not funny, he's not that interesting in general. I mean who would you rather hang with - Dyrdek or Carlin?
-
George Carlin or Jimmy Carlin?
-

Well, Tosh laughs at women, people of color, and the disabled. I always think its funny when rich white men make fun of people with less privilege than them.

yes, all humor should be politically correct

God what a stupid strawman. First, he's being racist, not politically incorrect. He's not making observations you aren't supposed to make, he's telling shit jokes and hoping people will laugh over the shock that he is rehashing OLD stereotypes. That's not funny or original, its what hacks do. That's the thing, what he says isn't astute or creative, as good comedy is. It is him repeating the same racist bullshit from a position of power and privilege in society and hoping the shock appeal will make people laugh.
Its what hacks do who aren't actually good observers or have an original perspective. They repeat the same tired racist bullshit and then give a look to the audience like "I WASN"T SUPPOSED TO SAY THAT....BUT I DID!!!!!"
Its fucking cheesy as shit.
If Chris Rock or George Carlin get a little un-pc while delivering a bigger, funnier joke, I'm fine with that. All Tosh is is a tired hack with a tired "offensive schtick."
The worse thing about it is that talentless hack has a catch all for all the criticism of his stupid unoriginal bullshit... "Sorry the PC crowd doesn't like me! I'm edgy!" Only he isn't edgy, having a formulaic show where you repeat formulaic racial stereotypes in uncreative ways isn't edgy, its trashy as hell.
I'm not even backing Rob. Seriously, let that shit slide and don't even acknowledge that hack. The dude has a formulaic TV show and that is it. The formulaic TV show Rob has is like one of 20 things he has going. His best response would be "Who? That second rate comedian with the unoriginal show? Who gives a fuck what that loser thinks besides his 7 viewers. I have pro model boards, shoes, and run an entire professional sports league, and have starred in 3 tv shows. Ridiculousness was my third show, how about you? Do you think you'll ever even get a second, or maybe even just one original show?"

Rob's shows make America's children stupider, which in turn leads them to actually believe and take seriously the things Tosh jokes about.
-
I don't see how you can really bash Tosh like that, Gipper. His stand up is quite amusing to me and apparently lots of other people seeing as how his show surpassed The Daily Show and The Colbert report for Comedy Centrals most viewers. I'm not going to argue it's necessarily original or funny but it's not always what you do but how you do it. For instance, say preferring Nestor Judkins over Nyjah Houston. I don't find Chris Rock funny AT ALL and would say the same thing about him as you do about Tosh. His main spiel is all about "white people this, white people that".
Also, he didn't start off being in a position of power and privilege in society. If you watch the documentary "I am Comic" it's easy to see making it in comedy is pretty fucking hard. They both worked for their shit in different ways to get where they are and I can respect them both. I'd definitely watch Tosh's show over Robs for laughs.

your first comment simply criticized him for making fun of women, people of color and the disabled. what you're saying here is more that you don't find the caliber of his comedy very high and that he's a hack. that's a little different.

My original point was that is the type of shit he depends on for laughs, not that taboo subjects can't be touched upon in comedy, and his whole thing is really just repeating stereotypes without much else for a laugh. A typical Tosh joke would be something like a video of a black guy going into a store and him saying "Hey look, a black guy is going into a store, I bet he's buying kool aid and Watermelon!" and then a devilish look at the audience, then a woman walks in and he says "who let her out of the kitchen?"
The problem I have with it is not even really that it offends me, but that it's cheap, unoriginal, and not very funny. His whole shtick is shock, and after you've read an Andy Roy interview he just isn't shocking.
Whoever mentioned Chris Rock as being on the same level as Tosh- No. Chris Rock is far more well respected of a humorist. Whether or not he has the top rated show on a cable channel doesn't really matter, fuck, Pauly Shore and Carrot Top were super popular at one point too. Also, his jokes aren't really about "white people this, white people that." He does racial stuff, but actually, most of it is about black people. He criticizes his own people far more than any other group. He goes at black people like Woody Allen goes at jews. Both bring up other groups mostly for the sake of comparison. Off the top of my head, I can actually only thing of jokes of his that are about black people, you got "black people vs. ni****s," black people use robotussin as the cure for everything, hip hop used to be defensible now it is indefensibly ignorant. Actually, I just remembered one, after Columbine he made a joke about being scared of young white men, which was an obvious play on the larger social fear of young black men. Chris Rock actually talks about specific aspects of cultures that he actually observes, he doesn't just repeat stereotypes, which is all Tosh does.
Oh, and I looked up Tosh's wikipedia entry. A white man who decides to move to LA to pursue his comedy career after college instead of getting a job clearly has privilege in American society. And yes, that does make a difference in terms of his commentary

A typical Tosh joke would be something like a video of a black guy going into a store and him saying "Hey look, a black guy is going into a store, I bet he's buying kool aid and Watermelon!" and then a devilish look at the audience, then a woman walks in and he says "who let her out of the kitchen?"
The problem I have with it is not even really that it offends me, but that it's cheap, unoriginal, and not very funny. His whole shtick is shock, and after you've read an Andy Roy interview he just isn't shocking.
While I think I agree with most of your take on humor, and that the basic jokes you've used as examples aren't funny for the same reasons you gave, I don't think you're giving Tosh enough credit. That, or you haven't seen very much of his show.
Here's the first thing that comes up on a youtube search.
Tosh.0: Tebowing (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYSRiz52exk#ws)
While, IMO, it's probably only average, or maybe even a little below average, in terms of how funny it is compared to most of what I've seen from the show, I did get some laughs, especially towards the end. I imagine people who are really into sports find the Tebow stuff more funny than I do (or maybe they're tired of it). The main thing is that I don't think it fits into what you've said most of his shtick is based on. I do agree that he mostly relies on shock, but I think it's a lot more than just simple common racist/sexist stereotypes, and I think the dude's pretty damn witty (or his writers are, anyway).
Even though I don't agree with your opinion, you clearly have some intelligent ideas on this, and I'm interested to see if you can apply what you've said about Tosh in general to this skit.

whoa, chris rock only talks about white people?
Chris Rock - Marion Berry (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTMif8cGlcE#)
this is hilarious
-
This is Chris Rock:
Typical jokes on typical, er, stereotypes.
On black men v white men.
Black men and white women.
White men and black women.
On women v men.
Rich v poor.
Married v single.
Obviously comedians veer off the path but with most things it becomes formulaic and that's what people expect from them which got them to where they are. But really, If you're trying to sway people into not liking Tosh because you don't like Tosh it's not going to met met to much avail. It's about opinions and taste in comedy. People think different things are scary, sad, gross, etc... Such as I find Tosh funny and you find Chris Rock funny but neither of us are going to change our minds on that. And when it comes to the actual beef between these two guys I could care less honestly - more curiosity than anything on my part.

^ So which of those was the Marion Barry joke? jackass
The main punchline is a dude sucking a cock through a glory hole calling Tim Tebow gay. Before that its a woman being awful for getting an abortion, and a guy telling an antisemetic joke. The ones that don't try to pull the shock/bigot card and just rely on the humorous situation? A guy missing a throw into a garbage can and another guy accidentally running into somebody carrying food. Before it tries to play the shock card, its pretty clear how uncreative his humor is. The premise does kind of have potential, despite it not being that great, but they don't even deliver on that.
in the end, what is funny to you is what is funny. Its like thinking a chick is hot, whatever gets you off man. Just don't try to feed me the line that she is great to talk to.
-
oh, and I'm not trying to sway, I'm just explaining why I think he is an unfunny hack with no genuine creative ability. really, the "unfunny" part is subjective, his lack of creativity is not. You might LOVE Paris Hilton's album, but its still not a very well created selection of music.

Alright, so it's apparent that you just have a very bad sense of humor. And no one's trying to convince others that she's great to talk to more.

I guess you forgot how to read for the first sentence of what I typed... You're metaphors are a little extreme but then again it goes back to being your opinion and what's relative to you.
Okay, I get it. You don't like Daniel Tosh - point taken. Cooooool man.

That shit's classic. Chris Rock is untouchable in terms of his legitimacy as a stand up.

Yeah, man. Watched it starting from 6:02 and after about 2 minutes I couldn't really take it anymore. I'm not trying to say Chris Rock is horrible he's just not my cup of tea. Popularity doesn't necessarily mean your funny, it just means your funny to most people - if even that. I think about how these Hollywood films nowadays are what make money and how utterly fucking dumb they all are, therefore most people who go to the movies are really fucking dumb.

why did you bring up popularity? that's cool if you didn't think it was funny, but no where did i, or gipper, use chris rock's popularity as evidence that he's a good comedian, so almost your entire first paragraph was pretty much irrelevant. hannibal buress is pretty funny. i don't bother looking his stuff on my own though cause everything i've seen him in has a couple really good jokes and then a bunch of stale ones. in that clip, he started strong but faded fast.
i'm liking the idea of discussing comedians. mike birbiglia is good.
Mike Birbiglia - Hip Hop Animosity (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZ5GXPg_gD8#)
-
hannibal burress is smart... mike birbiglia is funny. hannibal can be funny, but he's not the natural performer that birbiglia is. chris rock and daniel tosh both can be funny, and they can also both rely too heavily on race/sex/arbitrary stereotypes. those two just can't be themselves for an entire set. hannibal and birbiglia are both themselves (in terms of how they relate their subject matter) throughout their entire sets. i'd rather watch comedians like them than daniel tosh or chris rock.

Daniel Tosh (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3lNpulkWGw#ws)

and I'm totally backing Doug Stanhope... guy is a cynical genius.

pickle jokes and being insecure about dating a white girl? to each their own but i'll take seinfeld over this for the observational comedy and chris rock over this for the race stuff.
and really, the old guy could have been vibing you because he thought you were a kook with a hot chick... but who really gives a shit anyway. it's just some random guy in a grocery store.

Dude, that shit was hilarious. Gotta be a pretty depressing person to hate on that.

^google joke was the only one that was actually funny. referencing jokes is not funny, at least not the way he does it. and he drags out his jokes on way past the point of being funny. and aziz ansari is almost as overhyped as tosh. dude is really not that funny at all, and some of his observations are downright stupid, and not even because of an exaggeration. just plain stupid. how that dude is doing well in comedy is beyond me.
i'd never heard of doug stanhope but that was really good.

This beef has been going on for awhile. I remember seeing a clip from some MTV awards where Tosh was presenting and he threw a diss towards Dyrdek's Ridiculousness
Also, I found this article that I think is several months old...

"Ridiculousness," according to MTV, features Dyrdek's unique take on some of today's funniest amateur viral videos and builds them into episodes of edgy, funny and timeless television.
Sounds like "Tosh.0" on Comedy Central, right?
Even Daniel Tosh, who is heading into his fourth season this fall, sees the comparison. On Twitter recently, Tosh said, "Congrats @robdyrdek. new show looks very funny & familiar."
Dyrdek shot back: "Thanks you so much @danieltosh !! Maybe later this week you, @BobSaget and @Tom_Bergeron can come down to my factory and play."
Didn't realize that Dyrdek was in to four-way fuck fests. Dirty Dyrdek!

Oh, and Phil Hendrie is funnier than anybody on the planet who ever lived or who will ever live...except for JR Blastoff, of course.
-
...anyon else a Greg Giraldo fan?
-
Greg Giraldo is definitely someone else I find funny. His story is a pretty sad one but it's a recurring trend that most comedians are utterly depressed. In fact, it's almost like you can't be completely content with your life and be a comedian. You either have to be really irritated by the most minuscule of things or depressed.
Who was that comedian that just told clean jokes and had the puppets? That guy fucking sucked.

*Taken from youtube description of the video*
My first and prolly only vid I'll do... Did it just cuz Tosh pissed me off about his skit on Rob Dyrdek.
Tosh... Ur nothing but a sick minded tool, and u feed off of others success because u don't have none.
Say what u want. To all those nay Sayers and people with no purpose, like Tosh. You do no good in today's world. All u do is harm.
What Rob Dyrdek dose is truly inspirational!
To Rob, nothing is impossible!
Rob Dyrdek shows to everyone that anything is possible, no matter how dumb, goofy, or improbable it may sound.
Rob CLEARLY just say's DO IT! You never know how much good can come out of such a small idea.
So this was my idea. And i DID IT! Just like Rob Dyrdek does.
I hope more Good will come out of this than Bad...
