I can't think of a word worse than disgust and, in some sense, the show exemplifies a kind of bizarre "perversity of humour" for me. It is very rare that I would have to stop watching a show (unless it was so boring as to be inane), as there are very few things that I might have a reaction to, but this show wins hands down. Baron himself plays characters who are the very worst of the worst of stereotypes, all the while having selected the most stereotypical of interviewees. I didn't find it funny, actually finding it to be inane and crass! And I don't know what on earth I could say apart from that. I don't even feel like posting a YouTube trailer for it.

I saw the first episode and loved it. Yes, it's inane and crass, and it's spot on.

I'm still snickering at the NRA representative who seriously agreed with Sasha Cohen that two-year olds should not get guns because of the "terrible twos."

Cohen showed these idiots for who they truly are and I'm looking forward to the next episode.

Different strokes and all that jazz ...
