The Whitest Kids You Know

it sounds pretty racist. I call the double-standard card. SHENANIGANS.

but alas, my friend (who watches way too much tv) said it's ridiculously stupid.

Well, only every once in a while...


And to Cruely, yeah, it's completely stupid, hence the funniness. Baby Skull Seeking Bullets was amazing (Well, the end was amazing, everything up that point was kind of meh), but seriously, Slow Jerk ftw. It's on YouTube, I don't think I've ever laughed harder in my life.

I emailed it to pretty much everyone in my address book, and now we regularly have like 20 people over to watch it on Fuse. TiVo... Oh how I heart you.
 
How does it sound racist? Because it has the word "white" in the title? I've only seen a few sketches on youtube, but I have yet to see anything remotely racist about it. It's just a freaking sketch comedy show.

I think this thread was mostly made to discuss the actual show, not to sit here and talk shit about the name.

If you haven't seen it, I see absolutely no point posting. Failzorz.

"Racism- hatred or intolerance of another race or other races."

1: The show is funny as hell. d(^^d)

2: The show isn't racist, and even if it was, I still think it would be funny, because we all need to learn to laugh at ourselves. Stereotypes were invented because of the majority of people who fit them. This show just takes them and throws them way out of proportion, and it is pretty rediculous... But I like it. Anyone watch Carlos Mencia's show?
 
Watched a clip on youtube.

Unsurprisingly it's just offensive, unfunny tripe. If you want fun of stereotypes watch Monty Python.
 
God the fact that someone compared this to Carlos Mencia just makes it worse, that's the pseudo-racist garbage that silent_alarm is probably talking about.
 
Its so stupid its funny...I love the one with the dude who wakes up and shoots arrows at everything...or the guy who imaginarily destroys his friend whiles he on the phone. Hehe

I think its pretty funny... you guys need to lighten up. It's just a tv show. If it was rascist then it's rascist against whites and im white and im certainly not offended. Why does this have to be such a big deal. It's a funny show. I like the sketch "It's Saturday!!!"

You.....you like this shit? I mean ffs it's just shit, unfunny tripe as silent alarm said, and it just proves that American humour is actually quite neanderthal.

Hey asshole not all of us think this is the funniest thing on the planet.

There's humor that's slightly offensive but still funny as hell, and then there's this, done completely wrong.

I don't care if you don't like it, but I think it is good, and funny if you can't take a rascist joke then don't post here! Duh...
 
Dude... the show isn't racist, but it's just plain retarded (no offense to any Eugenes out there), especially the one where the guy's getting the stereoptypical sensual treatment upon getting home and, upon seeing rose petals on the stairs with a bunch of candles bordering them, he thinks a flower monster's in the bedroom and runs in with a baseball bat, assaulting his wife/girlfriend :p And personally, this crap just shows America's definition of entertainment is royally falling downhill thanks to VH1 and MTV. Of course, that sketch doesn't even compare to "Get a New Daddy", which I can't bear myself to remember, and before you say I'm some ruddy European git what's got his panties all in a bloody wad, remember this: I'm American, boss, and not ashamed in the least to admit this crap is just another example of the idiotic grabage that gets on TV when writers are allowed to pitch shows they made while under the influence, and the equally-blitzed producers stupidly accept them.

Whoa, I haven't done a post that long since my noob days!
