I find him hilarious. Have watched Tosh.0 for the past 5-6 years. He holds no punches against any race, gender, stereotype, etc. ---

I lean towards him being funny. Like most comedians some of his stuff falls flat, IMO, but mostly funny. ---

He says, “B-Hole” a lot. ---

Sometimes. He tries too hard and laughs at his own stupid jokes, but he does have some great zingers. ---

Sometimes. I haven’t watched Tosh.0 for a few years – I liked it the first season or two, but then it got too repetitive and disgusting for me (not that I judge anyone else for continuing to like it). I’ve found his stand-up funny about half the time. ---

His web-clip commentaries are good and his interviews with web “stars” can be hilarious. I don’t care for his in-house produced “clips” - too much bathroom humor and humiliating your staff is just dumb. ---

I could have voted somewhere in the middle if there was an option. ---

I have never given him much of a chance. Mostly because the commercials for his show were so completely annoying. The one time I did watch his show, I was surprised he wasn’t as bad as those commercials. He seemed pretty funny. Don’t have enough data to cast a vote. ---

Smarmy is a massive turnoff, as is thinking that being offensive is the same thing as being funny. I find his comedy trite, smug, obnoxious, and completely not worth my time. ---

I think he’s generally funny. Even though 99% of his show is making fun of idiots on the internet, I think his somewhat self-deprecating “aw shucks” manner helps keep him from coming across as “mean”. ---

I just caught one of his sets on Comedy Central a few weeks ago, as it happens. I think he’s very funny, although I spend a fair amount of time wincing. If I had the chance to see him live on stage, though, I’d definitely go. ---

I find his comedy trite, smug, obnoxious, and completely not worth my time. Yes, all of this, plus mean. Like a playground bully playing for laughs. Sure it’s funny when that kids trips and drops his lunch. Sure it is. ---

Tosh.whatever amuses me way less than half the time (maybe 20%). Based on that, I voted no. ---

I caught one of his recent stand up specials and he was funnier than I expected. And of all the internet clip shows I have seen, his writers give him the best material to quip with. ---

I voted yes but I do find him grating. Too much mean gets to be a turn off after a while. Yet, he can still make me laugh. I don’t know why I find him grating. Bill Burr is mean, Louis C.K. jokes about raping babies but I don’t find either of them grating at all. ---

He’s a sniggering frat boy, IMO. ---

Occasionally funny, but mostly I feel his performance delivery is awkward and forced. He seems like a talk show host that’s reading unrehearsed material that someone else wrote. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/do-you-think-daniel-tosh-is-funny/754996.md?page=2)
