I was going to make a funny comment on how humorous this was coming from him........but he acknowledged this notion right away.

This was Hot Damn worthy. Also the ESPN killing kids bit.

Really nailed the parody there.

His show is basically a mashup of many shows that came before, most notably America's Funniest Videos.

Sure he evolved some segments into his own thing, but I'm not going to get up in arms over somebody copying something from him. Still, funny that he called them out.

I saw this last night. Thought his comeback was hilarious. Even though his criticisms were a little too harsh, he does bring up a few good points.

The biggest crime is the name ESPN gave that stolen bit

They fucking called it "Awesome Video Segment"

Further proof the concept was stolen since they couldn't even think up something as simple as a fucking original name for their stolen segment.

ESPN is stealing ideas from that program that airs stupid online videos on cable? The Web Junk 20 crew is going to be furious!

The whole "Espn supports kids dying part is so true". Although that is also the average college football fan. Horrible, horrible people. Sports mean more than education to so many people. Spend two minutes in the CFB thread and you will hate yourself.

That terrible forced laugh track to match his terrible forced delivery makes this video borderline unwatchable, even if 100% of what he says about espn is completely accurate.

Just cringing the whole way through.

Can't tell if Tosh is bitchy gay, straight taking supreme advantage of female attracting gay components, or the future of my gender. I'm ok with all three possibilities.

"The [average college football fan] supports kids dying." I don't even know where to begin with this statement, but I'll do my best.

First off, only Notre Dame fans are okay with kids dying, but only if they're not members of the football team. So seeing as how the thrust of Tosh's comments was geared towards kids who play football, I'm not sure if Notre Dame's propensity for murdering non-athletes is even relevant.

Secondly, the vast majority of people on this message board, support both their university as well as their university's athletic teams. However, even if someone is only a fan (casual or not) of a university's football program, I'm struggling to see how this makes them a horrible person.

Finally, I'd like to invite anyone who isn't a dickbag or a Notre Dame fan to come and join us in the current college football thread: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=930469. If you spend two minutes in the thread and hate yourself, I think that says way more about you than it does about us.

Cheers.

I don't know about stealing people's youtube clips, but he's definitely approached youtubers/content creators about using their stuff on his show under the guise of "cross-promotion" only to present the video as a "fan submitted clip"

That was really good lol.

I didn't know ESPN bought rights to the college playoffs. Kind of pissed actually. Does this mean the playoff and championship will air only on ESPN? or will they at least air the title game on ABC as well?

Haha. This was good. I think I just watch ESPN now just for the sole purpose of being able to talk and bitch about it to other people. You don't trust a news outlet when they make a direct investment into the field in which they are supposed to be reporting.

I actually saw Tosh at a random comedy show in NYC before he got big, and he made fun of my home state. Booed him then he made fun of it more. Talked to him after the show and got pictures and autographs, guy is a genuinely good, albeit tall, dude.

It's a clip show. It's not really stealing when it's the entire point of it.

While I watch neither of these channels, one could argue that the task for the folk at ESPN would be to find great ideas and assimilate them - creating entertainment. That being said, I find the idea of someone ripping a concept blatantly pretty disgraceful. Then again, I find whining coming from someone whose career revolves around clips of others, having taken his idea from others in the first place, pretty laughable.

Update: I have now seen the clip,

Yes it is. It may be live in studio, but it's a laugh track nonetheless, and it is actually more grating to my ears than most canned sitcom laugh tracks.

No it's not. I've been to a taping, hell I made out on camera in one. It's the actual laughs and audience reactions to the videos, no joke. Dude has insane charisma and is legitimately funny.

It's still a laugh track, unless you are arguing that the audience noise is strictly leakage into the on stage mics, which pretty obviously is not the case.

Even if it's actual studio audience being recorded(which I am not convinced given how artificial it sounds, many shows that film in front of a studio audience replace studio laughter with a canned laugh track because TV execs and producers are goddamned morons.) it is still way way too high in the mix, and more important just sounds terrible and annoying.

It doesn't have to leak into the stage mics, the audience can be mic'd too. Hang overheads, get sound. Whether you like it or not is taste, which you apparently don't.

Doesn't bother me at all. Usually because I'm reacting the same way.

Did anyone see the toe breaking video? Yikes.
