Robert Pattinson for Variety magazine: “I always say about people who do method acting, you only ever see people do the method when they’re playing an a-holes,” Pattinson admitted. “You never see someone being lovely to everyone while they’re really deep in character.”
I once heard it said that "If you have to keep explaining that your work is satire, you made really bad satire" and that applies to this show perfectly
@@queueareste1458and so much of the “men’s day” social media posts are about women. There are actually some great men’s movements to get behind, like reducing the stigma around mental illnesses, how men are more heavily pressured into joining the military, there’s this growing need to deradicalise men who are joining the alt right against their self interests. But it’s always about women for some reason.
There’s something to be said about how a lot of men’s sense of masculinity is not tied to like… actually enjoying and doing masculine things, but instead based in a reactionary relationship to women and femininity. Like, being a man is about rejecting femininity or reliant on a position of power over (hence why an unrelated woman having rights is somehow emasculating) instead of the ways performing and indulging in gendered behaviour brings you joy and a authentic sense of identity.
@@xxgirl101xx it’s so depressing. I went to a 6yo’s birthday party the other day, and so much of his family is just so focused on gender roles. To the point where he’s getting told he can’t wear the glittery princess cape his cousin was wearing because it was too femme, he was only allowed to wear the plainer one. I’d bought one of those cakes that are rainbow on the inside, and was playfully asking the kids “what colour do you think the cake on the inside is?” And one little boy was like “it has to be a boy colour, like blue or red” what? Masculinity is often just pushed as more of an abstinence of femininity more than anything else. It’s fucking awful.
@@MrHenrytheoctopus it’s so sad that at this point parents are literally pushing toxic anti-feminine thoughts it’s a little boys heads. They’re literally kids, who freaking cares if they like rainbow and sparkly things just let them live their life before they have to go through the depressing process of becoming adult.
wow. just wow. i'm reminded of the old Simpsons episode with Rex Banner. "cough....cough....well, YOU people know what a laugh sounds like!!" thank god we have one more SJW in the world. because god damn, we definitely needed one more of THOSE around here.
Even if their defense of the show being satirical was true (which I don't believe) that segment of Jimmy asking women on the street to have sex with him is real harassment. What a gross concept for a show and even grosser execution.
Are you really surprised? I’m not. Jimmy just said in a monologue on his show recently that unvaccinated people don’t deserve medical help. Aba & Preach just did a video on it on their channel if you wanna check it out.
@Roby Walker idk if you know but being pressured and coerced under cameras and tv show personalities often leads to situations where women and others sign their consent and autonomy away when otherwise they wouldnt. Check out any of the many accounts of porn actresses being coerced mid scene into performing acts they werent comfortable with and specifically had in their contracts they wouldnt do. This vile behavior isnt forgiven because of them signing anything. Also consider, if these women were "okay" with this there were likely many others he harassed who refused to sign and therefore werent being aired.

I think it’s pretty eye opening too that if you follow even a handful of women on social media you’ve probably seen them share a guy responding to her calling him on his bullshit by saying “jeez I was just kidding learn to take a joke”. It’s like the #1 backpedal for horrible dudes online.
This or acting like the joke was just too smart and everyone else were too stupid to understand it. Nah, Jason, you didn't outsmart millions of people with your offensive humor.
I'd argue the intent wasn't as pure as "comedy." Not arguing with you, just adding to the commentary. Kimmel has always seemed like an opportunist to me even before I was aware of "The Man Show." If they really wanted to satirize stereotypical jerk men then they would have a character like Colbert created to satirize conservative media people like Bill O'Reilly. Instead they just harass women, objectify women, belittle women, and mock progress. Either they're bad messengers or they knew exactly what they were doing.
GAGAGAGAGAGAGA this is wonderful! PRANK! IT is terrible! I looked in the mirror and saw something UNPRETTY: my face. GAGAGAGAG! But I am happy agayn because I have TWO HOT GIRLFRIENDS and I make cool YT v*deos with them! Good evening, love and peace, dear bo
I also don't know if I even believe them. Shows like the Colbert Report and the Chapelle show we're out at the same time. IMO they were funnier and they were doing more obvious satire. Like if the majority of your audience doesn't "get it' maybe that's your fault.
Never was a fan of Jimmy Kimmel, and finding out he wrote a show like this isn't super surprising. A lot of the segments on his show involve embarrassing, mocking, and borderline harrassing people, including the guests sometimes.
The part where he encourages parents to lie to their very small children about stealing from them in order to laugh at them when they start crying is my favorite
@@4546bees Gus Johnson made a fantastic sketch about that pretty much summing up whats fucked up about it. i didnt really realise until he pointed it out cuz i dont rlly watch Kimmel but yeah its pretty fucked up.
The thing is, even if they’re calling it a “parody” of what awful men are like, the only audience they had for the show were those same awful men. No caring guy or self respecting woman would watch that show and enjoy it genuinely.
And they didn't even try to be like fully over the top to make it obvious, they just look like normal people, so its immensely confusing and just comes out as sexist lmao
Oh, yeah, it's totally parodying toxic masculinity. I mean, everything they say is to an audience of cheering men, it's all said without a hint of irony, and the people saying the terrible things are never the butt of the joke but it's absolutely a parody.
It's also made by those same awful men. People act like self awareness absolves people of everything,, like hey buddy if you're aware of what you're doing wrong,, maybe don't do it instead of doing it ironically?
Sorry gotta disagree. I used to watch this with my best friends Mom, who thought it was hilarious. Before Jimmy Kimmel was a talk show host, the Man Show WAS Jimmy Kimmel. That was who he was.
I get anxiety anxiety anytime some stranger even looks at me, so if I was getting chased then I’m not sorry but I’m going to assume I have to defend myself and it’s not going to be pretty lmao
I have been genuinely followed down the street, chased, many a time - it’s not funny. Saying it’s a joke doesn’t make it funny. Saying you’re either too hot and they can’t help it or you’re not even hot so you should know they don’t mean it like that…is beyond stupid.
@@bhvillaman4401 the thing is that offensive humor can be funny but most of the time it's just not. It's usually cringe. I think you can make funny sexist/homophobic/etc types of jokes, I don't really care. but they need to actually still be funny. If you're just saying something offensive that's not humor in itself, it's just lazy
"The audience didn't get it." Have you considered that you were just bad writers. Offensive humor is actually really hard to accomplish, I don’t know why hack-job writers think it's the easiest form of comedy.
Honestly god bless the lady who tried to explain to that elderly lady that didn't speak perfect English what was going on. Idk why the editors would keep that in because it makes them look terrible but it does make me feel better
They probably kept it in thinking viewers at the time would go “look at this chick trying to ruin our joke”. They wanted to make her look like a Karen.
if you look closely, you can see that they also feel ashamed that they like women, whom they are conditioned to simultaneously desire and despise because that's what Being a Man is (apparently) !
It’s interesting to see people simultaneously ask someone to marry them whilst bitching about the fact that said person exists... like jeez, if you hate them so much then maybe don’t be with them 😂
i will never understand why some men will complain about their wife and go ‘i hate my wife so much she’s a lazy fat cow’ but 15 years ago he proposed and confessed his love for her and agreed to spend the rest of his life with her 🤨
@@wolftitanreading5308 if you joke about hating someone you just hate them but can't leave them cause you need someone to make your dick hard and cook you food
I remember seeing The Man Show as a kid and wondering why people got married if they just ended up hating each other. That whole "I hate my horrible wife" boomer cliche was rampant in that show and even back then it just seemed sad to me.
@@haktar11 wait……I don’t understand how comedy works? Is that what you’re gonna go with? Are you telling me that every single comedy show you’ve ever watched in your life, everyone was a paid actor? So any show to see peoples “reactions”, like maybe an impractical jokers, none of it has any spontaneity? Whoa dude that’s crazy, I must be an idiot.
The fact that the live audience is agreeing with instead of laughing at the “jokes”, is probably a big reason why people didn’t think of the show as satire
Yeah but there was a lot of genuine agreements. If you were forced to react like that you wouldn't be shouting and screaming "Yes" you'd just lightly applause
The “will you have sex with me?” segment cannot be accepted as satire. That happens in reality to women and it’s one of the reasons going out in public feels so much more tiring and risky as a woman. Those women actually felt uncomfortable in that moment and that is not funny.
Right? Like when you’re CHASING a woman screaming for them to fuck you, you aren’t ”satirizing people who harass women”. You can’t just do something and say ”yooo calm down i was just kidding”
I grew up with the show. They knew exactly what they were doing. They never said anywhere "it was a bit." It ramped up the sexism in young men. Its the old "oh this offends people? yeah I never meant to seriously..." Doesn't work, friends. It was this type of thing that as a unattractive, fat chick, taught me that hating myself was normal.
Friend, let me just tell you that you're amazing and beautiful. You deserved better than the media you grew up with and I was in the exact same boat as you.
I feel like they started the show off trying to be “satirical” but then ALL of their fans were not getting it at all and just liked the misogyny, and then they totally went with it. Jimmy kimmel “hated” it? Umm doubt it. They definitely just accepted the misogyny and continued with it because it worked. And then made it a big thing out of it from their fans and just went off the rails.
Would make sense under modern day thought, but you gotta remember this shit is produced by a ton of people over the course of like a year, atleast the first 2 episodes where's filmed before fan feedback could of come and producers could make kinda whatever they want, with how blunt the jokes are I get a different feeling about this show than that it was an accident
bcs of the patriachy ☝🏻💀 also being misogynistic is still portrayed as being manly unfortunately, the sexist alpha males are proof of that 😟 they dont wanna respect women bcs they see that as a beta and sigma activity 💀
because it was back then lol wdym like sure it’s fucking disgusting but misogyny has been a “manly” trait for decades we’re only recently getting better at treating women like humans as a whole society
"They were poking fun at the toxicity of men's bad behaviour." Jimmy Kimmel: *literally chases a woman while repeatedly yelling at her to have sex with him*
I feel like they were "trying," like it seems the joke is that they are these desprate toxic people and look how dumb and terrible they are, which they showed by just being dumb and terrible and harrassing women on the street. So maybe they were going for satire but they just did a horrible job.
@@the-postal-dude yeah no matter what they say to defend it, “it’s just a joke” “it’s satire” “it’s making fun of that behavior” those women still weren’t in on it, therefore it was still harassment. Whether it was “for a joke” or not.
@@the-postal-dude honestly think it could have been much better if these things were just scripted wouldnt make it funny per say, but at least it wouldnt be outright harassment
As a non-American, I never understood the sympathy for Jimmy Kimmel. I first heard of him when his "Tell your kids you ate all their halloween candy" videos got viral and I never understood how making children cry on purpose is supposed to be fun. Dude sucks, tbh.
Actually, he's pretty clever and funny on his late-night show. People who say he sucks usually haven't ever watched. The Halloween thing does sound bad, but it's totally brilliant.
@bluntrapture Here's the big question. How is it, though? Ignoring the justification of the "To Toughen Kids" argument I've heard before, what makes making a child cry, filming it, and sending it to a late night show host funny? This isn't like laughing at a kid falling down, that's an experience lots of people have has as kids, from being out of balance, or just trying something dumb to learn about the world around them. This is intentionally causing a kid distress by lying in such a way the kid won't understand or be able to look back on as funny. What makes that funny, as a genuine question? It seems to me, rather needlessly mean and for a moment of fame on a TV show segment made to mock the child.
There are 3 reasons to watch Jimmy Kimmel: Guillermo, the guy who does Mike Lindell impressions and of course Snoop Doggs’ plizzanet earth commentary. Anything kimmel isn’t a part of is what makes his show good tbh 🙄
@@bluntrapture I'd very much like an example of any Jimmy Kimmel performance coming of as smart. And i'll be the judge for my self, if it is something i actually think is a smart joke. Waiting for links.
People will really say the most offensive or uncomfortable thing then when they get backlash just claim it was a joke or satire so they can get away with it. If you can’t make jokes without being offensive, then you’re not actually funny
I always thought people where just airing their shitty beliefs and when they get called out for it, try to absolve themselves of all responsibility by saying its a joke.
How the fuck is "abolish women's suffrage" offensive? Women didn't have the right to vote for >100,000 years of human history until the last one hundred years. Are you saying that all the humans that existed before your great grandma were "offensive"?
@@fendviyo Yeah. Basically, if you ask them to explain the joke and the explanation is bad, it was never a good joke to begin with. Stuff like rape/or SA jokes, racist jokes, etc. It’s funny to see them stutter when they have to explain the joke.
No, it sums up intergender relations for the last billion years. Like this is some craaazzzyyy thing that should be upsetting and shocking…like women don’t also hate men. Fuck me, people are dumb nowadays. Twitter opinion having, buzzfeed headline regurgitating, zero outlook motherfuckers…bahhhh…
“They’re making fun of you” was actually so sad. I’m glad she said something. This video made me sad and mad but it also made me laugh a lot which was cool.
It feels a bit like when punk artists in the 80s would create satirical music, mocking far right anxieties and ideals, only to be coopted by the very groups they were satirizing because they didn't make it evident enough that it was satire. Satire is extremely difficult and while it can be highly effective, it is also a genre of high risk, high reward; do it right, and you've effectively stripped a dangerous group/idea of some of its power or influence, do it wrong, and you've only given it strength and an extremely public voice.
ITS STILL CRAZY TO ME like in what world does California Über Alles not come off as mocking the alt right?? I mean I could kinda see it with no context but like.
yes !! while i love the dead kennedy’s, they didn’t have enough actual music that wasn’t satire to make it clear that they were mocking the alt right (although to anyone with a brain, it was obvious) and not supporting it . while with groups like the clash-even though some may say they’re not technically punk, their lyrics were-they had the right balance of outright condemning the alt-right (clampdown, guns of brixton, etc.) to balance with satirical music (know your rights, straight to hell, etc.) which made it obvious that they were rebelling against those ideals and not supporting them.
Never forget the time that Megan Fox was doing an interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live and was describing how she was grossly sexualized and objectified on a movie set as a literal child and Kimmel couldn't have been happier about it. She was clearly uncomfortable. Also, this show couldn't be farther from satire, how is it satire if it is actually how men act and is behavior that they see no problem with?
@@xanderliptak your definition actually shows why it isn’t be satire. Because the purpose should be to “expose and criticize” so since they don’t actually see a problem with these things or seek to expose or criticize men who are this way, the show is not satire.
I used to be an annoying misogynistic teenager who was into stuff like this and now watching adults nowadays have this kind of thinking makes my soul shiver
My highschool US history teacher actually showed my class a clip from this show when we were reviewing our unit about women's suffrage... he didn't get any laughs out of us that morning with that one.
...I'm especially curious if he thought the girls would find it funny? Bc..."haha, another group rich Christian white men didn't want to share the vote with! Classic, thigh-slapper humour." wtf. If anything, I would find it a curious material for sociology to examine how even the accomplishments women and minorities have made in history and to overcome adversity are still channeled through the perspective of the people narrating and documenting these events for history.
So Jimmy really expected those women he was harassing to be like "This man chasing me at full speed down the street begging me to have sex with him is probably just making fun of men who would do that."
A good satire and actually FUNNY show that poked at misogyny while also showing strong women was Johnny Bravo. Yeah, Johnny always went after women, but we saw how the way he went after those women NEVER worked. And the women in that show had incredibly accomplished careers, were intelligent, beautiful, and full of personality. The thing with Johnny is you couldn't really hate him, we know he means well, but he never learned the right way to communicate with women. That was a good show. This? This is terrible.
The thing about good satire is that the premise has to already hint to you that the character they are mocking is in the wrong. Bravo was not the hero. He was the guy women were annoyed with. The corny, boomer sexpest. He was the parody of the alpha male bro stuff, proven in that episode where he becomes a woman and finds his own antics awkward to listen to.
Wait, isn't that exactly what this entire show is about? Didn't that segment show the exact same thing? Wasn't the suffrage bit about how all the women were smarter than they gave them credit for, and they even ruined the guys chances to get the non native to sign up?
@@iloveallthepeople The way you have to had watched that segment with you eyes and ears closed is literally the only way you could have come to this conclusion.
I read somewhere that good satire has a definite stance, if it can be enjoyed equally by those it's aimed at and those it's making fun of, it hasn't worked. This hasn't worked
It seemed to work back then, sadly. There’s so many women audience members ‘enjoying’ the jokes made at their expense. I’m honestly surprised any dude was able to talk his girlfriend or wife into spending one day of their LA vacay at a TV studio just to watch ‘The Man Show’
Disclaimer: I am in NOWAY justifying what happened, or condoning the tragic and evil terrorist attack on the Charlie Hebdo employees. That was one thing that got me during the "je suis Charlie" movement. I really struggled to buy that their comic strips were innocent satire making fun of the biggots, rather than marginalised groups and vulnerable people. The Charlie Hebdo comics were just really horribly offensive and while they definitely did not deserve what happened to them; I was not comfortable agreeing with the "Je Suis Charlie" message because I also don't think what they published (to a much, much smaller scale) was right either.
A perfect example to counter this nonsense is Stephen Colberts Colbert Report, it was very distinct in its satire and that it was a negative depiction of Conservative media.
The thing about the men who thought the Man Show was peak comedy is that they're definitely not laughing about the caricature of a misogynistic man, they're laughing because they agree with the misogynistic things being said. If there's anything they don't have, it's self awareness.
100% for sure, man’s got trash taste in just about anything. I was very glad when Matilda glued that ugly-ass hat to his head so both him and the hat partially got what was coming for them.
the "it's a joke" argument doesn't really hold up when you consider the women in the final segment went home completely unaware of what was going on and were possibly scared for their lives... and then imagine later finding out the man who did that to you got his own TV show.
thankfully they probably had to sign a release to have their faces not blurred (i know it’s that way today but i’m not sure how it was in the 2000s). so as awful as that “””bit””” was, hopefully they left the situation knowing it was for a show
I mean I agree and I think Jinny kimmel is super duper not funny or like able, but do you think it’s possible he has changed in 20 years? Like how long is the prison stint for not being PC?
@@victormacdougall6395 for me it’s a decade. If something that was said or done a decade ago and it wasn’t a literal crime and it just a shitty joke or POV and the person has grown a bit since, then I don’t hold it against. If they are just as shitty now, I’d “cancel” them for the shit they said in the last 10 months instead of 10 years. At least that’s my line
Thinking about the fact that the show Golden Girls is at least 10 years older than the Man's Show and still tackled on issues and taboo subjects with finesse. That's why I find it hard to use the "oh it was a long time ago, times were different" excuse
Golden girls was 1985-1992 or something like that and I just feel like they covered topics but did it with class and dignity, like when they thought rose might have had aids and they were informing the public that friends can have aids and it’s not just horrible monsters, but your neighbor or best friend can get it through no fault of their own
reminded me of the episode when Dorothy's friend came to visit, and she was a lesbian and ended up being attracted to Rose. They never made her sexuality a joke, but the joke was mostly around Blanch's reactions to not being the one that her friend was attracted to. And even when Rose turned her down, it was respectful and her explaining she just didn't feel that way about the opposite sex. Golden Girls was a show that was so ahead of its time.
The important thing to delineate satire from sincerity is subversion. If one episode they said “ay, we decided there’s too many girls on THIS show!” and replaced all the dancing girls with dudes in speedos, that’d be pretty funny.
that WOULD be pretty funny. They could do like a string of handsome models and then do a fat guy with a comeover mugging like a playboy bunny. I'm not saying I'm a comedic writing genius. I'm saying that literally the most obvious joke is better than the tripe they peddled as """"""""""""""""""""""""comedy""""""""""""""""""""""""" .
Satire is meant to ridicule power. If you're laughing at people that are hurting its not satire its bullying. The ENTIRE audience is men and theyre REALLY excited about it. Its not satire.
Nah. There's tons of examples of popular satires that don't exclusively take swipes at the powerful...even Sasha Baron Cohen's recent stuff contains a mixture. And, by the way, the premise of this statement kind of goes against the show, since it's a satire of douchebags. There may be innocent casualties along the way, but the satirical humour often doesn't function without that added element. Also, it's weird that some people have arbitrarily decided that the "powerful" are deserving of ridicule, as though they're not human beings with feelings that are just as valid. It's all fair game, depending on the intent.
@@luca553 yeah! I mean, Italy’s win was totally deserved, but I just personally enjoyed “10 years” more (and Think About Things is honestly the best take on a “I love my child” song I’ve *ever* heard)
There is no punchline, not even the guys themselves; there’s no point where they make a point of how absurd it is to be misogynistic. That would be the funny part, the “wow these guys are dense”. The closest resemblance of a punchline is the women, just like they tried to lie and say otherwise.
Exactly. A good example of something in that vein being done well is Always Sunny. the characters are over the top and they make it clear by the reaction of the people and world around them that they are terrible people not to be idolized. there was nothing like that present in the man show it was just self indulgent.
I appreciate how almost every single man in the show, whether hosting or in the audience, is consistently dressed exactly like how you’d imagine people who enjoy this show do. It’s got to be some of the blandest, most bowling rink or tiki bar set of clothes I’ve ever seen.
@@blackironwalterkus3851 He absolutely is, but to me it kinda feels more like “70’s tourist in Hawaii for a surfing competition” than “I think I’m going to ask the Hawaiian waitress if she can speak English”
So I had a friend that loved this show when we were about 13. Like he was devoted. Would watch every episode. For comparison he was raised Catholic by two parents who were consistently unhappy in their marriage and his brother would constantly try and fist fight his dad. My family had it's own set of issues but most of them were related to the absence of my father and the fact that I had to be raised by my mother, sister, and grandmother all of whom obviously were women. I remember being straight puzzled by his interest in this show because the shit they said just didn't bear fruit as far as I was concerned about the women I knew in my life.
Is he doing ok now? Like I hope he was able to outgrow like some of the family issues he was facing or at least learned to deal with them and most importantly have realized that most of the things on the Man Show were bs.
@@dolphindiver7724 I haven't seen or heard from him in about 20 years or so. Not since we were about 15. I don't really have very much of a presence on social media so we never reconnected like a lot of people do in this age. He went through a period where he was a bit racist because his brother became heavily racist. We were best friends through elementary school and middle school. The last I heard he was going to like a kind of private high school when we were teenagers so I think it probably did him good to get outside of his family situation. He was a straight a student and his family was very wealthy compared to mine so being that he eventually got outside his family situation, hewas a good student, and his family had money as an asset he probably went to college and became successful. Or at least that's what I tell myself.
I remember being a 9 year old kid when this show was airing, and my dad made fun of how sexist and chauvinistic it looked any time the commercials for it came on. Man, I have a cool dad. (POINT OF CLARIFICATION: Kurtis Conner is not my dad)
Dang, can we all be adopted by your dad? Seriously, please, my dad would have loved the Man Show if he knew any channels outside of ESPN, the news, and Cinemax existed.
Satire would be going to the men their supposedly making fun of and making fools of THEM by setting them up to come face to face with their own hypocrisy and double standards. Satire is NOT making fun of the women they claim to be on the side of. Satire is more than just acting in the way you’re parodying, it’s more importantly doing so in a way that makes the ridiculousness in the stance clear. In this cases, all they’re doing on this show is enforcing that behavior. They’re just making women uncomfortable, not the toxic men they’re supposed to be making fun of.
The problem with these sexist shows that say they're satire or "just joking" is that the men working on them think they're being over the top when in fact all their examples are real things that women face. There's a song that released last year in which the singer narrates how he once saw a woman in a cafe and will keep going there and won't leave her till he gets her phone number and then talks about all the romantic things he'd do for her like making her a pizza "But if you say no" but if she rejects him he'd ruin all these things and go around spreading rumours to ruin her reputation. He defends the song saying it was satire but just over a month ago he was accused of sexual harassment... so yea these guys are worse than trash
I agree with you entirely. Saying misogynistic or racist things, in an attempt to pretend like it's over the top, and then immediately following it up with "but it's satire" or "... just joking!" is the worst kind of copout I've ever seen. It's not satire. It's propaganda. They're not lampooning toxic masculinity, they're reinforcing it. It's the equivalent of white comedians like David Cross putting on blackface during a comedy sketch in an attempt to mock racist, while at the same time not realizing that what you are doing IS a classically racist act. Someone wrote something brilliant that read "satire requires a clarity of purpose and target, lest it be mistaken for, and contribute to that which it intends to criticize." "it's just satire" is starting to feel like the new "just kidding/I was just trolling you/it was a joke/etc". There are ways to successfully satirize bigotry and toxic traits without actually being a bigot/toxic.
but when women make fun of their misogynistic behaviour and make a joke about sexist men we're suddenly "haters of men" and "unfunny" and "try too hard" 🧐 I
I love satire. It's one of my favorite forms of comedy and that show is NOT satire. Sorry, you can't cover up misogyny by saying "It's satire." Your show has to actually be satire for that to work. The fact that Jimmy sexually harrassed random women on the street "for comedy" proves that it is not even remotely satire. At that point, you become the problem and all satirical elements are completely removed.

@@wolftitanreading5308 no. I would'n waste my time on shit like "the man show" or Logan Paul. None of it is funny. Maybe if your IQ is below 100 you might enjoy it. Or if you are easy to manipulate to follow others. Lack of self esteem is also a big reason why someone would laugh just because the can laughter is laughing. Or the audience is responding to the big sign lighting up with the letters "L A U G H". Other tricks would be employees placed in the audience to start the laughter and have the insecure people start laughing as well for the same reason. Afraid of coming of as slow or not being part of the crowd they are sourrounded by. But you do you. I'm sure it'll get you far in life.
The Man Show didn't actually age poorly in the same way that dogshit left in the sun doesn't age poorly. It was shit to begin with, time just made it stink worse.
This is a bad metaphor. Dog shit stops smelling once it dries. I can't think of anything good except off like a bucket of prawns in the sun? But that's usually what we'd say when we're leaving.
I know he didn't do Dark comedy necessarily, but it's funny how all these guys herald George Carlin as their heroes when you know he'd have nothing but contempt for them.
This is what I'm saying. If you want to do dark comedy/satire well then it actually has to be funny. Its about subverting the norm rather than reinforcing it. Even I could come up with a bit that centers on misogyny and it would be actually funny. There's no subversion in these jokes and they're tired and overdone.
@Maheen Tariq I agree. I believe a good comic and make a joke about anything. It’s what separates the good from the masters. Dave Chappell is the only comedian I’ve seen craft a joke about trans people and live to tell the tale. Because he is a master at what he does.
That one part where he asks the women if they want to have sex unprompted is creepy enough, but I feel like the part where he chases one of them while saying that makes it so much worse
A good example of parodying someone who says/does bigoted things is the office. Both Michael and Todd packer said and did offensive shit, but they were surrounded by poc and women who would call them out for it. They were the butt of the joke.
Actually, I hate to correct you, but the issue is that the hosts didn't portray their sarcasm at all, the audience supported the sexism instead of laughing at it, and they SHOULD have hired actresses to play the roles of women being harassed, that way they would know what's coming and be able to respond in a way that makes it obvious that this is parody and not a thing they actually support. They fucked up on every part of this show. If done correctly, satire of sexism can be REALLY funny and actually make slightly sexist people question themselves. They'll think "why is my opinion the butt of the joke? Am I maybe in the wrong here?" Not exactly in those words, but my point is that it happens. I've actually questioned a few of my beliefs because of Bo Burnham satire jokes in the past, so yeah, it CAN work, these guys just suck.
@@Nakia11798 yeah, since the dam segment, it's noticable that the "jokes" aren't being told as such but literally sound just like straight forward sexist statements. DAM, the incompetence
@@Nakia11798 Honestly it's not to much different when you look at how other toxic people act. People tend to get objectified and it's treated as normal, we're just seeing a trend of one set of toxic people use the actions of others to push their own agenda. Instead of just making the toxic men the butt of the joke it should be anyone objectifying is the butt of the joke. Look at Adam Driver as an example, it's wrong to objectify unless it's a guy such as Adam apparently.
thats cuz it wasnt a joke. they were serious about getting back at PC culture and annoyed that the world was 'feminizing' everything. the creators just said it was sarcasm or that they hated it the whole time cuz it doesn't age well and they wanna cover their asses.

I always knew there was something “off” about Jimmy Kimmel and now that I’ve learned about this show that he created and was a part of, I now get why I had the feeling of uncomfortableness everytime I would see him on tv or on social media
I knew him from the man show and found his new place as a liberal media darling a strange twist in his narrative arc. I guess he "re-invented" himself. Today's Jimmy would roast the old Jimmy. There is no there, there. Hollywood. What can you do?
The Office did a really good job of showing Micheal was the butt of the joke and not the people he was making fun of. Mike made a horrible racist joke about Asian people in Chilly’s, then the camera pans to a horrified Asian woman’s reaction at a different table. Clearly Mike is the idiot here and everyone else is uncomfortable. I’m not sure how I would have made the alleged attempt at satire on The Man Show clear, but YIKES
I point this out when people say “the office wouldn’t last 10 minutes today without getting Twitter canceled.” Wrong lol they made sure you knew it was WRONG how micheal was but that he didn’t know better.
That is also why SouthPark was funny, because the tone of the show always made it clear that Cartman was the butt of the jokes, and that all the characters always pretty much called him out for everything he did. Comedians these days however are as ironically oversensitive as they accuse their audience being, when they don't get how that form of comedy is supposed to work. They think its more about being able to get away with being edgy, like a kid that learns a swear word and gets mad when hes told its bad. Thats how they are today.
And even in scenes where there wasn't anyone there to react, like in scenes where the characters were talking to the camera, characters like Michael or Dwight could say things that were clearly shown as wrong without showing any reaction.
I will always remember being 15 or 16 and reading a book on the living floor while my parents were watching the man show, and at the end they lat audience members ask questions and a guy asked "why do fat girls give good head" and I swear my heart stopped, because I was a fat kid (I am a fat adult) and my face was on fire and the answer was "because they have to" My parents laughed and I looked at them, internally horrified, and my mom told me it was ok to laugh at that. I didn't think it was funny. That one sentence honestly made me internalize so many messages about my self, and my worth, and my body, in maybe 45 seconds.
That just shows how fucking demonic those kinds of creeps are. Putting their muck out there for everyone to be affected by, including actual children. I remember Corolla from long before that show (I never saw it, proud to say), and he was ALWAYS an incredibly ugly, nasty piece of work. He just emanated malevolence and dismissive, defensive entitlement. Just like his scumbag fans. But seeing how they deeply they scarred children and stole some of their innocence makes me really see the depth of their insupportable depravity. This is truly pure evil.
your parents never should have let you watch the show and should have given you better eating and exercise habits totally your parent's failure not the show
@@astridl1848 this wasn't a kid's show it wasn't on nic at night kids shouldn't have been watching it it was a show for adults mature enough to handle dark humor without being mentally distressed over it
@@jonnym4670 My PCOS, mental health, and restrictive eating disorder agree with you that my parents failed me to an extent but you live in a world of hatred and ignorance if you think every single fat person got fat by eating themselves there. Grow up and educate yourself. The show itself dehumanized and degraded women. And in this instance showed that the humiliation of fat women is funny and ok because you don't see them as people. Regardless of your opinion on how people get fat, fat people are still human beings worthy of being treated as human beings. It was never ok to say that fat women have to give good blow jobs.
Speaking of the early 2000s' emphasis on hyper-masculinity, Toby Maguire was almost denied the role of Spiderman by Sony because they didn't believe him to manly enough. That's funny since Peter Parker has never striked me as a hyper-masculine figure.
Its cuz hes SUPPOSED to be that average, kinda geeky, low confidence but room for improvement type , no over-exaggerated masculinity in his character. Hes the friendly neighborhood hero. Like a dude u interact with everyday. Although toby aint no slouch. That "not manly enough" criteria thing is beyond stupid.
I think things like the Man Show are why “man hating feminists” exist. Obviously “man hating feminist” is an oxymoron because feminism preaches gender equality, but even as a feminist myself, I sometimes find it genuinely hard to not at least *dislike* men. It feels so awful to say it because I know there are still men (Kurtis being a good example) that aren’t like that at all, but shit like the Man Show just makes me resent masculinity as a whole. If a lot of people believe masculinity is despising and over sexualizing women, burying all your emotions, and being angry all the time then I’ll have you know I want no part of it whatsoever. I just don’t understand how they can’t see how wrong that is.
I'm curious. Do you not have any friends that are men? Like a singular dude on yt should not be your only point of reference for good people of the opposite gender.
@@clvno the statement definitely framed in such a way where she seems like she doesn't know the men she is referencing in this instance. When you say "I know they exist" it implies that it goes against personal experience.
@@ihatehandles6969 because it probably does go against personal experience lmao... personally, the shitty men in my life far, _far_ outweigh the decent ones.
The Man Show was on spike when I was a teenager. It routinely made me feel worthless. Then I’d put on Paris Hilton’s show and remember I needed to starve myself. 2000s were awful to women
Sadly, many girls are still starving themselves. There was a heartbreaking news segment about a 7yo girl starving herself around, I think, '07 or '08. She made a list of what she allowed herself to eat, and it was basically concentration camp level rations of fruits and nuts. Her mother was horrified. *I* was horrified, seeing the note. That huge, childish scrawl---writing a regimen for objectifying and torturing herself. A 7yo! You should be scribbling fucking Santa Claus and Toothy Fairy letters at that age. Fox News actually had the infernal gall to say it was healthy, and the mother was being ridiculous or "misunderstanding" the girl. Typical, of course.
the lines from in the show did not sound like they were delivered like jokes, they just sound like those types of guys that just say offensive shit and say it's a joke afterward if you don't agree with them.
Even as a guy this kind of thing disgusts me, women deserve much better than this. I've never understood the "joke" either, it always just seems like thinly veiled hatred and misogyny to me
@@xanderliptak I mean not in all cases. My aunt attended an Ellen show live and Ellen pulled a prank where she jumped out at people in the bathroom stalls of the studio. My aunt was one of the people shown and she didn’t sign anything.
The problem with this show's "comedy" is that they're trying to parody misogyny, I guess. But instead of showing themselves being misogynistic and then being ridiculed (to send the message that misogyny is bad in a funny way), they show themselves being misogynistic and then... go out and ridicule women, which sends the message that they're superior, hence misogyny is good. I believe comedy should be able to touch on delicate subjects. But if you want to take that risk, you better know how comedy works. Like theoretically. You can't just blurt out sexist joke after sexist joke and call it "comedy". Actual comedy requires talent, and empathy, and an understanding of why some things are funny, and some are not.
Yeah it's really simple, seinfeld a show that is way older did it great, like Jerry rejecting a woman because he thinks her boobs are fake or literallly everytime George dates a woman, they are in they act stupid, they suffer THE CONSEQUENCES of acting stupid, THEY are the joke
You really don't know what comedy is. Maybe this isn't your type of comedy, and that's fine, but no one's forcing it on you... like people like you tend to. Comedy's job, is to purposely cross the line.

The “bit” chasing women and being denied sex… Yeah, sure, I can totally see how they are seen as the butt of the joke. Except they’re literally harassing the women. But yeah know. Good old comedy
The worst thing that it's not just a bit but real life. Because of men like this I bought a cheap golden ring, wore it on my ring finger pretending that I'm married... at 15 years old! Because this way men harassed me less and bolted from me once they learned I'm "married". I still do that at 24. I heard an argument that this behavior should be allowed because there should be freedom of speech for everyone. Tell me you are an american without telling me you are an american moment, truly. Well, fuck your freedom then.
There is a fine line between laughing at something and becoming the thing you wish to laugh at, and this show definitely had a problem with telling the difference.
The weirdest part about this for me is that the idea of a “man show” by itself is perfectly reasonable. Like, a talk show about “man” stuff? Why not. But “The Man Show” is not a show about stuff men like, it’s a show about belittling women.
Chasing a woman insisting on sex is making a joke of something that women literally deal with, change their behavior to avoid, and worst case scenarios include being assaulted or killed by the men who act like this. Hilarious satire guys, can't imagine why anyone would think it was in poor taste. /s.
no doubt that the show was in poor in taste and that skit was way to far when he started chasing her that was when i stopped laughing the show was dark humor though was a way to deal with having high levels of testosterone like most dark humor it didn't mean to it just a way to process it and some of the behaviors that aren't acceptable in society to deal with so they wouldn't be internalized and come out in a horrible way
even watching that through a screen knowing he wasn't going to do anything I still felt scared for her and in general, yeah sure it was a "bit" on a TV show but it's a real thing that is always in the back of my head as a possibility whenever I leave the house
Why do women deal with this? Go ahead and explain why it's always a guy hitting on women or whatever. It seems really strange that we complain about it incessantly without ever asking why it is that men are hitting on women all the time. What happens to men who don't hit on women? I think they just never have relationships because the strong independent womyn in gender equality world still expect men to do all the social heavy lifting and take all the risk like it's still the 18th century. It's a social obligation men didn't even ask for and don't even want and yet for some reason this doesn't matter. Given that actual solutions don't seem particularly interesting to people like you who complain about this all the time, I'm confused as to why I should care at all. Also, you know if you look at violent crime stats, women are the safest demographic that exists. They're safer than children. Western white women are the second safest group of humans that have ever existed in the history of our species second only to E. Asian women. I'm something like 4x as likely to be murdered as you, yet for some reason I'm supposed to cry about women getting hit on by men they find unattractive, as if men somehow can know if you find them attractive or not beforehand. Seriously, this is like listening to a trust fund kid or an aristocrat complain about the poors committing crimes or something. Gee, why are there so many poor people? You'd think that would be the obvious question we would ask if we actually wanted a solution.
Has anyone seen that video of Jimmy Kimmel interviewing Megan Fox, and she talks about how uncomfortable she was filming a scene when she was underage, and he says “Well we all wanted to see that”? He is a gross man, I’ve never liked him.
Yeah I used to think he was funny but now I noticed how mean he was. Specially after that basketball match with Ted cruz and I don't even like Ted cruz.
I think an important part of satire is making what you're criticizing or satirizing be the butt of the joke, with this show the "manly man" aesthetic isn't the joke the actual offensive jokes they're saying are, so despite how much they claim to be parodying the manly culture they're actually just empowering it because at no point do they seem to make the manly culture look bad or stupid
I think there’s a quote from some famous author about how satire has to very obviously be satire, lest it contribute to the thing it’s mocking which can be very hard to do
He’s literally able to sexually harass people but get away with it because it’s a joke 😭, and then he got offended when the girl pulled a disgusted face. Like what did he expect, for one of them to actually say yes? He’s walking around in a Hawaiian shirt and grass stained jeans
One of the girls: all that money is goooone. Why didn't I know this was a high value male? And look at him, he has changed so much, I should be the one controlling him!
@@weheartaaliah it's called a gold digger, they do actually exist. I'm not saying it's all of them, I'm just saying there's a chance one of them regret not talking him up on that offer.
They can say it's satire all they want but the bit where they chase and harass women shows real, undeniable disrespect and lack of empathy. Also, if the show was aimed at making fun of hyper masculine bullshit, women should be able to laugh at it and if they aren't, you failed at the purpose you set

Calling yourself “The Man Show” then making the entire show about women is a choice…
It’s like how “National Men’s Day” gets more internet traffic on national women’s day than it does on the actual national men’s day
@@queueareste1458and so much of the “men’s day” social media posts are about women.
There are actually some great men’s movements to get behind, like reducing the stigma around mental illnesses, how men are more heavily pressured into joining the military, there’s this growing need to deradicalise men who are joining the alt right against their self interests.
But it’s always about women for some reason.
There’s something to be said about how a lot of men’s sense of masculinity is not tied to like… actually enjoying and doing masculine things, but instead based in a reactionary relationship to women and femininity. Like, being a man is about rejecting femininity or reliant on a position of power over (hence why an unrelated woman having rights is somehow emasculating) instead of the ways performing and indulging in gendered behaviour brings you joy and a authentic sense of identity.

I’d bought one of those cakes that are rainbow on the inside, and was playfully asking the kids “what colour do you think the cake on the inside is?” And one little boy was like “it has to be a boy colour, like blue or red” what?

Even if their defense of the show being satirical was true (which I don't believe) that segment of Jimmy asking women on the street to have sex with him is real harassment. What a gross concept for a show and even grosser execution.

@Roby Walker idk if you know but being pressured and coerced under cameras and tv show personalities often leads to situations where women and others sign their consent and autonomy away when otherwise they wouldnt. Check out any of the many accounts of porn actresses being coerced mid scene into performing acts they werent comfortable with and specifically had in their contracts they wouldnt do. This vile behavior isnt forgiven because of them signing anything.
Also consider, if these women were "okay" with this there were likely many others he harassed who refused to sign and therefore werent being aired.

Wait, Kimmel has responded like that?
If you have to tell people it's a joke, 90% of the time it's not a joke. The rest of the time it's just not funny.
And that, ladies and gentlemen and enbies, is what we call Schrödingers asshole.
This or acting like the joke was just too smart and everyone else were too stupid to understand it. Nah, Jason, you didn't outsmart millions of people with your offensive humor.
“the audience just didn’t get it” have you considered that intent does not equal impact
I'd argue the intent wasn't as pure as "comedy." Not arguing with you, just adding to the commentary. Kimmel has always seemed like an opportunist to me even before I was aware of "The Man Show." If they really wanted to satirize stereotypical jerk men then they would have a character like Colbert created to satirize conservative media people like Bill O'Reilly. Instead they just harass women, objectify women, belittle women, and mock progress. Either they're bad messengers or they knew exactly what they were doing.

The “will you have sex with me?” segment cannot be accepted as satire. That happens in reality to women and it’s one of the reasons going out in public feels so much more tiring and risky as a woman. Those women actually felt uncomfortable in that moment and that is not funny.

@bluntrapture Here's the big question. How is it, though? Ignoring the justification of the "To Toughen Kids" argument I've heard before, what makes making a child cry, filming it, and sending it to a late night show host funny? This isn't like laughing at a kid falling down, that's an experience lots of people have has as kids, from being out of balance, or just trying something dumb to learn about the world around them. This is intentionally causing a kid distress by lying in such a way the kid won't understand or be able to look back on as funny. What makes that funny, as a genuine question? It seems to me, rather needlessly mean and for a moment of fame on a TV show segment made to mock the child.

It feels a bit like when punk artists in the 80s would create satirical music, mocking far right anxieties and ideals, only to be coopted by the very groups they were satirizing because they didn't make it evident enough that it was satire. Satire is extremely difficult and while it can be highly effective, it is also a genre of high risk, high reward; do it right, and you've effectively stripped a dangerous group/idea of some of its power or influence, do it wrong, and you've only given it strength and an extremely public voice.

yes !! while i love the dead kennedy’s, they didn’t have enough actual music that wasn’t satire to make it clear that they were mocking the alt right (although to anyone with a brain, it was obvious) and not supporting it . while with groups like the clash-even though some may say they’re not technically punk, their lyrics were-they had the right balance of outright condemning the alt-right (clampdown, guns of brixton, etc.) to balance with satirical music (know your rights, straight to hell, etc.) which made it obvious that they were rebelling against those ideals and not supporting them.

I am curious, what was the clip about exactly?
...I'm especially curious if he thought the girls would find it funny? Bc..."haha, another group rich Christian white men didn't want to share the vote with! Classic, thigh-slapper humour." wtf. If anything, I would find it a curious material for sociology to examine how even the accomplishments women and minorities have made in history and to overcome adversity are still channeled through the perspective of the people narrating and documenting these events for history.
So Jimmy really expected those women he was harassing to be like "This man chasing me at full speed down the street begging me to have sex with him is probably just making fun of men who would do that."
"at first i was scared, but if it's ironic then i guess i should just laugh?"
"Officer, it was just a joke!"
A good satire and actually FUNNY show that poked at misogyny while also showing strong women was Johnny Bravo. Yeah, Johnny always went after women, but we saw how the way he went after those women NEVER worked. And the women in that show had incredibly accomplished careers, were intelligent, beautiful, and full of personality. The thing with Johnny is you couldn't really hate him, we know he means well, but he never learned the right way to communicate with women. That was a good show. This? This is terrible.
Johnny Bravo was great
facts
The thing about good satire is that the premise has to already hint to you that the character they are mocking is in the wrong. Bravo was not the hero. He was the guy women were annoyed with. The corny, boomer sexpest. He was the parody of the alpha male bro stuff, proven in that episode where he becomes a woman and finds his own antics awkward to listen to.
Wait, isn't that exactly what this entire show is about? Didn't that segment show the exact same thing? Wasn't the suffrage bit about how all the women were smarter than they gave them credit for, and they even ruined the guys chances to get the non native to sign up?

That was one thing that got me during the "je suis Charlie" movement. I really struggled to buy that their comic strips were innocent satire making fun of the biggots, rather than marginalised groups and vulnerable people. The Charlie Hebdo comics were just really horribly offensive and while they definitely did not deserve what happened to them; I was not comfortable agreeing with the "Je Suis Charlie" message because I also don't think what they published (to a much, much smaller scale) was right either.
@thanks why are you spamming every response with this?!
A perfect example to counter this nonsense is Stephen Colberts Colbert Report, it was very distinct in its satire and that it was a negative depiction of Conservative media.
The thing about the men who thought the Man Show was peak comedy is that they're definitely not laughing about the caricature of a misogynistic man, they're laughing because they agree with the misogynistic things being said. If there's anything they don't have, it's self awareness.

Thinking about the fact that the show Golden Girls is at least 10 years older than the Man's Show and still tackled on issues and taboo subjects with finesse. That's why I find it hard to use the "oh it was a long time ago, times were different" excuse
Golden girls was 1985-1992 or something like that and I just feel like they covered topics but did it with class and dignity, like when they thought rose might have had aids and they were informing the public that friends can have aids and it’s not just horrible monsters, but your neighbor or best friend can get it through no fault of their own
YES, i was literally about to comment that.
reminded me of the episode when Dorothy's friend came to visit, and she was a lesbian and ended up being attracted to Rose. They never made her sexuality a joke, but the joke was mostly around Blanch's reactions to not being the one that her friend was attracted to. And even when Rose turned her down, it was respectful and her explaining she just didn't feel that way about the opposite sex. Golden Girls was a show that was so ahead of its time.
That's why they're the Golden Girls ,';^3
Every episode of The Golden Girls was just Dorothy saying, "Blanche, you're a whore".
The important thing to delineate satire from sincerity is subversion. If one episode they said “ay, we decided there’s too many girls on THIS show!” and replaced all the dancing girls with dudes in speedos, that’d be pretty funny.

To make this show effective, the audience would be mostly women laughing at the antics of the men and supporting the women who tell them to Fuck off
Nah. There's tons of examples of popular satires that don't exclusively take swipes at the powerful...even Sasha Baron Cohen's recent stuff contains a mixture. And, by the way, the premise of this statement kind of goes against the show, since it's a satire of douchebags. There may be innocent casualties along the way, but the satirical humour often doesn't function without that added element. Also, it's weird that some people have arbitrarily decided that the "powerful" are deserving of ridicule, as though they're not human beings with feelings that are just as valid. It's all fair game, depending on the intent.

He went through a period where he was a bit racist because his brother became heavily racist. We were best friends through elementary school and middle school.

Satire would be going to the men their supposedly making fun of and making fools of THEM by setting them up to come face to face with their own hypocrisy and double standards. Satire is NOT making fun of the women they claim to be on the side of. Satire is more than just acting in the way you’re parodying, it’s more importantly doing so in a way that makes the ridiculousness in the stance clear. In this cases, all they’re doing on this show is enforcing that behavior. They’re just making women uncomfortable, not the toxic men they’re supposed to be making fun of.
Thank you for articulating my thoughts better than I could have!
YES!!!! So many people don't actually know what satire is so they just throw that term around to cover up their shitty behavior.
The problem with these sexist shows that say they're satire or "just joking" is that the men working on them think they're being over the top when in fact all their examples are real things that women face. There's a song that released last year in which the singer narrates how he once saw a woman in a cafe and will keep going there and won't leave her till he gets her phone number and then talks about all the romantic things he'd do for her like making her a pizza "But if you say no" but if she rejects him he'd ruin all these things and go around spreading rumours to ruin her reputation. He defends the song saying it was satire but just over a month ago he was accused of sexual harassment... so yea these guys are worse than trash
Holy shite what song is that? Big yikes.
I agree with you entirely. Saying misogynistic or racist things, in an attempt to pretend like it's over the top, and then immediately following it up with "but it's satire" or "... just joking!" is the worst kind of copout I've ever seen. It's not satire. It's propaganda. They're not lampooning toxic masculinity, they're reinforcing it. It's the equivalent of white comedians like David Cross putting on blackface during a comedy sketch in an attempt to mock racist, while at the same time not realizing that what you are doing IS a classically racist act.
Someone wrote something brilliant that read "satire requires a clarity of purpose and target, lest it be mistaken for, and contribute to that which it intends to criticize."
"it's just satire" is starting to feel like the new "just kidding/I was just trolling you/it was a joke/etc". There are ways to successfully satirize bigotry and toxic traits without actually being a bigot/toxic.

Other tricks would be employees placed in the audience to start the laughter and have the insecure people start laughing as well for the same reason. Afraid of coming of as slow or not being part of the crowd they are sourrounded by.

The thing about dark humor is that it actually has to be funny.
I know he didn't do Dark comedy necessarily, but it's funny how all these guys herald George Carlin as their heroes when you know he'd have nothing but contempt for them.
@Saga I agree but I wonder if George Carlin, Paul Mooney, Richard Pryor and the likes would even be able to survive in our current PC climate?
This is what I'm saying. If you want to do dark comedy/satire well then it actually has to be funny. Its about subverting the norm rather than reinforcing it. Even I could come up with a bit that centers on misogyny and it would be actually funny. There's no subversion in these jokes and they're tired and overdone.
@Maheen Tariq I agree. I believe a good comic and make a joke about anything. It’s what separates the good from the masters. Dave Chappell is the only comedian I’ve seen craft a joke about trans people and live to tell the tale. Because he is a master at what he does.
you may not find it funny. Others do. Please enlighten us on how to make everyone on the planet laugh at the right jokes.
That one part where he asks the women if they want to have sex unprompted is creepy enough, but I feel like the part where he chases one of them while saying that makes it so much worse

A good example of parodying someone who says/does bigoted things is the office. Both Michael and Todd packer said and did offensive shit, but they were surrounded by poc and women who would call them out for it. They were the butt of the joke.

was just thinking about this!! super good point!
Less so for the first season, which is partly why it's considered lower quality than the later seasons. More cringe less funny.
Pierce from community too, he says awful shit but he's consistently the villian
The issue is that even if it was just a joke that we didn't get, it still encourages and supports a bunch of really sexist beliefs.
Actually, I hate to correct you, but the issue is that the hosts didn't portray their sarcasm at all, the audience supported the sexism instead of laughing at it, and they SHOULD have hired actresses to play the roles of women being harassed, that way they would know what's coming and be able to respond in a way that makes it obvious that this is parody and not a thing they actually support.
They fucked up on every part of this show. If done correctly, satire of sexism can be REALLY funny and actually make slightly sexist people question themselves. They'll think "why is my opinion the butt of the joke? Am I maybe in the wrong here?" Not exactly in those words, but my point is that it happens. I've actually questioned a few of my beliefs because of Bo Burnham satire jokes in the past, so yeah, it CAN work, these guys just suck.
@@Nakia11798 yeah, since the dam segment, it's noticable that the "jokes" aren't being told as such but literally sound just like straight forward sexist statements. DAM, the incompetence
@@Nakia11798 Honestly it's not to much different when you look at how other toxic people act. People tend to get objectified and it's treated as normal, we're just seeing a trend of one set of toxic people use the actions of others to push their own agenda. Instead of just making the toxic men the butt of the joke it should be anyone objectifying is the butt of the joke. Look at Adam Driver as an example, it's wrong to objectify unless it's a guy such as Adam apparently.
thats cuz it wasnt a joke. they were serious about getting back at PC culture and annoyed that the world was 'feminizing' everything. the creators just said it was sarcasm or that they hated it the whole time cuz it doesn't age well and they wanna cover their asses.

@@seyfullaheyler8832 if you're ironic about it doesn't that mean youre satirizing it? I'm not defending the man-show, but Kurtis's argument is weak there
I always knew there was something “off” about Jimmy Kimmel and now that I’ve learned about this show that he created and was a part of, I now get why I had the feeling of uncomfortableness everytime I would see him on tv or on social media
I knew him from the man show and found his new place as a liberal media darling a strange twist in his narrative arc. I guess he "re-invented" himself. Today's Jimmy would roast the old Jimmy. There is no there, there. Hollywood. What can you do?
The Office did a really good job of showing Micheal was the butt of the joke and not the people he was making fun of. Mike made a horrible racist joke about Asian people in Chilly’s, then the camera pans to a horrified Asian woman’s reaction at a different table. Clearly Mike is the idiot here and everyone else is uncomfortable. I’m not sure how I would have made the alleged attempt at satire on The Man Show clear, but YIKES
I point this out when people say “the office wouldn’t last 10 minutes today without getting Twitter canceled.” Wrong lol they made sure you knew it was WRONG how micheal was but that he didn’t know better.
That is also why SouthPark was funny, because the tone of the show always made it clear that Cartman was the butt of the jokes, and that all the characters always pretty much called him out for everything he did. Comedians these days however are as ironically oversensitive as they accuse their audience being, when they don't get how that form of comedy is supposed to work. They think its more about being able to get away with being edgy, like a kid that learns a swear word and gets mad when hes told its bad. Thats how they are today.
And even in scenes where there wasn't anyone there to react, like in scenes where the characters were talking to the camera, characters like Michael or Dwight could say things that were clearly shown as wrong without showing any reaction.
Oh young one give it time… people are more and more offended by it as the years go by…
@@mollybangtheband ...sigh
I will always remember being 15 or 16 and reading a book on the living floor while my parents were watching the man show, and at the end they lat audience members ask questions and a guy asked "why do fat girls give good head" and I swear my heart stopped, because I was a fat kid (I am a fat adult) and my face was on fire and the answer was "because they have to"
My parents laughed and I looked at them, internally horrified, and my mom told me it was ok to laugh at that.
I didn't think it was funny. That one sentence honestly made me internalize so many messages about my self, and my worth, and my body, in maybe 45 seconds.
That just shows how fucking demonic those kinds of creeps are. Putting their muck out there for everyone to be affected by, including actual children. I remember Corolla from long before that show (I never saw it, proud to say), and he was ALWAYS an incredibly ugly, nasty piece of work. He just emanated malevolence and dismissive, defensive entitlement. Just like his scumbag fans. But seeing how they deeply they scarred children and stole some of their innocence makes me really see the depth of their insupportable depravity. This is truly pure evil.

The show itself dehumanized and degraded women. And in this instance showed that the humiliation of fat women is funny and ok because you don't see them as people.
Regardless of your opinion on how people get fat, fat people are still human beings worthy of being treated as human beings. It was never ok to say that fat women have to give good blow jobs.
@@jonnym4670 Imagine having a masculinity so fragile you feel the need to justify shitty behavior TWICE.
Speaking of the early 2000s' emphasis on hyper-masculinity, Toby Maguire was almost denied the role of Spiderman by Sony because they didn't believe him to manly enough. That's funny since Peter Parker has never striked me as a hyper-masculine figure.
Its cuz hes SUPPOSED to be that average, kinda geeky, low confidence but room for improvement type , no over-exaggerated masculinity in his character. Hes the friendly neighborhood hero. Like a dude u interact with everyday.
Although toby aint no slouch. That "not manly enough" criteria thing is beyond stupid.

I think things like the Man Show are why “man hating feminists” exist. Obviously “man hating feminist” is an oxymoron because feminism preaches gender equality, but even as a feminist myself, I sometimes find it genuinely hard to not at least *dislike* men. It feels so awful to say it because I know there are still men (Kurtis being a good example) that aren’t like that at all, but shit like the Man Show just makes me resent masculinity as a whole. If a lot of people believe masculinity is despising and over sexualizing women, burying all your emotions, and being angry all the time then I’ll have you know I want no part of it whatsoever. I just don’t understand how they can’t see how wrong that is.
Honestly as a women,I am fine with feminists if they realise men are important,just like we are
I'm curious. Do you not have any friends that are men? Like a singular dude on yt should not be your only point of reference for good people of the opposite gender.

The Man Show was on spike when I was a teenager. It routinely made me feel worthless. Then I’d put on Paris Hilton’s show and remember I needed to starve myself. 2000s were awful to women
you should NEVER need to starve yourself, you're beautiful no matter how you look!
At what point in history has the world not been awful to women? Genuinely asking.
Sadly, many girls are still starving themselves. There was a heartbreaking news segment about a 7yo girl starving herself around, I think, '07 or '08. She made a list of what she allowed herself to eat, and it was basically concentration camp level rations of fruits and nuts. Her mother was horrified. *I* was horrified, seeing the note. That huge, childish scrawl---writing a regimen for objectifying and torturing herself. A 7yo! You should be scribbling fucking Santa Claus and Toothy Fairy letters at that age. Fox News actually had the infernal gall to say it was healthy, and the mother was being ridiculous or "misunderstanding" the girl. Typical, of course.

The problem with this show's "comedy" is that they're trying to parody misogyny, I guess. But instead of showing themselves being misogynistic and then being ridiculed (to send the message that misogyny is bad in a funny way), they show themselves being misogynistic and then... go out and ridicule women, which sends the message that they're superior, hence misogyny is good. I believe comedy should be able to touch on delicate subjects. But if you want to take that risk, you better know how comedy works. Like theoretically. You can't just blurt out sexist joke after sexist joke and call it "comedy". Actual comedy requires talent, and empathy, and an understanding of why some things are funny, and some are not.
I agree
Watch Dry Bar comedy!
Yeah it's really simple, seinfeld a show that is way older did it great, like Jerry rejecting a woman because he thinks her boobs are fake or literallly everytime George dates a woman, they are in they act stupid, they suffer THE CONSEQUENCES of acting stupid, THEY are the joke
You really don't know what comedy is. Maybe this isn't your type of comedy, and that's fine, but no one's forcing it on you... like people like you tend to. Comedy's job, is to purposely cross the line.

The worst thing that it's not just a bit but real life. Because of men like this I bought a cheap golden ring, wore it on my ring finger pretending that I'm married... at 15 years old! Because this way men harassed me less and bolted from me once they learned I'm "married". I still do that at 24.
I heard an argument that this behavior should be allowed because there should be freedom of speech for everyone. Tell me you are an american without telling me you are an american moment, truly.
Well, fuck your freedom then.
RIP Comedy
Isn’t that sexual harassment?
There is a fine line between laughing at something and becoming the thing you wish to laugh at, and this show definitely had a problem with telling the difference.
The weirdest part about this for me is that the idea of a “man show” by itself is perfectly reasonable. Like, a talk show about “man” stuff? Why not. But “The Man Show” is not a show about stuff men like, it’s a show about belittling women.
Yea watch the view and see a straight white male catch a break
That’s what I was thinking too. I was like why tf does their concept of anything man involve solely the hatred of women? Wtf?
i want man show about things men like, gimme the fudging show for most tequila downed is 30 seconds
I'd love a show where 30 year Olds played games that they played as a kid
Its not even “the man show” its the “hating women show”
Chasing a woman insisting on sex is making a joke of something that women literally deal with, change their behavior to avoid, and worst case scenarios include being assaulted or killed by the men who act like this. Hilarious satire guys, can't imagine why anyone would think it was in poor taste. /s.
no doubt that the show was in poor in taste and that skit was way to far when he started chasing her that was when i stopped laughing
the show was dark humor though was a way to deal with having high levels of testosterone like most dark humor it didn't mean to it just a way to process it and some of the behaviors that aren't acceptable in society to deal with so they wouldn't be internalized and come out in a horrible way
@@jonnym4670 no and it’s incomprehensible
even watching that through a screen knowing he wasn't going to do anything I still felt scared for her and in general, yeah sure it was a "bit" on a TV show but it's a real thing that is always in the back of my head as a possibility whenever I leave the house
Why do women deal with this? Go ahead and explain why it's always a guy hitting on women or whatever. It seems really strange that we complain about it incessantly without ever asking why it is that men are hitting on women all the time. What happens to men who don't hit on women? I think they just never have relationships because the strong independent womyn in gender equality world still expect men to do all the social heavy lifting and take all the risk like it's still the 18th century. It's a social obligation men didn't even ask for and don't even want and yet for some reason this doesn't matter. Given that actual solutions don't seem particularly interesting to people like you who complain about this all the time, I'm confused as to why I should care at all.
Also, you know if you look at violent crime stats, women are the safest demographic that exists. They're safer than children. Western white women are the second safest group of humans that have ever existed in the history of our species second only to E. Asian women. I'm something like 4x as likely to be murdered as you, yet for some reason I'm supposed to cry about women getting hit on by men they find unattractive, as if men somehow can know if you find them attractive or not beforehand.
Seriously, this is like listening to a trust fund kid or an aristocrat complain about the poors committing crimes or something. Gee, why are there so many poor people? You'd think that would be the obvious question we would ask if we actually wanted a solution.

I think an important part of satire is making what you're criticizing or satirizing be the butt of the joke, with this show the "manly man" aesthetic isn't the joke the actual offensive jokes they're saying are, so despite how much they claim to be parodying the manly culture they're actually just empowering it because at no point do they seem to make the manly culture look bad or stupid
