Bullshit!
 

Penn and Teller's show.

It's infotainment, and fun as Hell. I've noticed many fans take it a little too seriously, but in terms of being amusement, it's all good. Anyone have a particular favorite issue/episode?

I loved the segment where they got people to ban dihydrogen monoxide.

Then there's the Boy Scouts ep.

The bottled water one was great.

That episode was brilliant! :lol:

I keep meaning to DL this show.

I loved the "water stuard."

I also loved it when they brought him back as the Maitre D' in "The Best." The guy really piles on the shit so well.

've seen the first season on DVD. Pretty fantastic. What season are they on now?

Downloading season One, Two and Three now.

Season 5 is playing on Showtime.

The first four seasons are available on DVD.

I wish I had Showtime, but short of a book deal, I don't have the cash.

:y:

Don't think you'll be disappointed.

There are some episodes I like less than others, but all in all, it's very entertaining.

Just watch it last night, the first one was on "talking to the dead" pretty good, not anything I didn't already know, but you'd be surprised how many suckers believe that shit.

I also skipped ahead and watched "War on Drugs" and "Gun Control". Both pretty good, and I now see where gun toting American's are coming from.

Their pretty libertarian though.

They make me feel like taking advantage of suckers, considering how much Bullshit! there is out there that people buy.

wow I didn't realize pay TV channel prices were so high in your area. :roll: :lol:

Unashamedly so.

I definitely don't agree with their deal on gun control, Hell, I don't agree with a lot of what they say, but it's fun, no less.

Some of their arguments are stupid.

"Who will rob or rape with a 50% chance that their victim will have a gun?"

Actually, guys, it's been demonstrated that LTL (Less than lethal) defenses are not a deterrent. Not because they're not lethal, but because they tend to not be used. People are prone to freeze when using even a less than lethal weapon on an attacker, which brings in another problem:

If you freeze with a gun, you've just given your assailant a weapon.

People aren't more likely to fire with a firearm.

Nor are crime rates significantly lower in states with more guns.

They are in some (Vermont), but actually higher in others (Texas; ironically, they fail to mention this, but then later in the series bring it up when thrashing the death penalty).

But, again, I don't watch for cold hard facts. I watch because they're fucking hilarious.

Yeah, watching them bash other people's beleif is entertaining, and I don't really agree with them on gun control either, but it's written into the costitution, which by the way is in no way out dated.

Also, watching them bash religion and Mother Theresa was fucking awesome too.


But yeah, some shit should be taken with a grain of salt.

I love the episode about Manners. I did however feel that the one about Mount Rushmore was stretching

Except, of course, the argument that the comma there means something completely different is faulty to begin with. They actually have to ignore not only period grammar, but modern grammar in order to make that argument. In fact, while they claim that this is thre only Constitutional instance of a "comma" being used as simply a stop (Which isn't the argument Constitutionalists make, BTW, it's a strawman), I can't name another instance where the Framers included, in either the body of the Bill of Rights, a statement such as the one that precedes the comma WITHOUT being conjoined to the later statement.

It's a dishonest argument from a street juggler and a party magician. But it's still entertaining.

Is Mt Rushmore on the new season? I ain't seen it.

I loved manners. It's so hilarious.

Obviously, but still entertaining.

Did you see the one on prophecies yet? Deals with Nostradamus and crap? I love what they do with the ancient prophecy "The Wheels on the Bus."

One of the things I like about the series is most of the time, right or wrong, they're going after hucksters.

Yeah, I watched it today, fucking halarious.

That may be one of my favorites, simply because of the shit the "Experts" themselves pull!

"You can add or drop a letter."

I love how they hate religion.

I killed myself laughing at that one, like how fucking ridiculous can one be?

Yeah its from the newer one

It's almost startling. :D

Mind boggeling even...

Toooootally.

The sad thing is, these people do exist in real life. I don't doubt P&T sometimes trick people and make them look bad, but these unbelievable fuckers are believable because you can find them wherever yuppies and the like live.

"Elvis didn't do no drugs."

I found myself repeating that for days. :D

Also, AA is Bullshit!

I will say, their Walmart episode itself, was Bullshit!

Thankfully, more and more people are catching on to that.

I didn't see the Wal-star-mart one. What was bullshit?

I don't know, just that they're all for Walmart.

I haven't watched this show in awhile but one of my favorites was the one they did on bottled water.

I hate how they bash the left so much.

Meh. Usually they bash stupid people. Left or Right, hard to argue with bashing the dumb ones. ;)

Yeah that is very true, I also get the feeling they hate the left period.

But stupid people are stupid people, like the lefty's from the College episode.
