What the hell is this? Another clip show that shows nothing but YouTube clips? Isn't there already a show like that on G4? And do we need another one where, surprise, surprise, a comedian makes smarmy remarks on the videos? If it's Daniel Tosh at the helm, then yes, yes we do. Why? Cause the other one is crap.
Daniel Tosh is quickly becoming one of my favorite comedians as of late. With his upbeat appearance along with a delivery of a biting and politically incorrect comedic style, it blends in perfectly with the videos of pain and failures shown throughout. Instead of taking the lazy route of just showing clip after clip and doing one-liners, Daniel Tosh makes the most of the situation of creating little segments for some of the clips shown. There's one dedicated segment called "Web Redemption" where he invites over an individual who became famous thanks to the video posting of them doing something humiliating, and have them do that same event again with some inspiration of some sort. Some of the past individuals included the football player who tackled his own teammate, the Nintendo64 kid, and David, the kid of "David After Dentist" fame.
Tosh.0 has become a surprise hit for Comedy Central, in that they expanded the first season from 10 episodes to 16. And now the second season is underway with 25 planned episodes. Catch Tosh.0 on Comedy Central, Wednesdays at 10:30 p.m. eastern.

I caught some of this show yesterday, actually, while painting at a friend's house. I had my back to the television, and kept laughing just because of the dialogue.
Good stuff.
