I’ll admit that I haven’t watched his show. I’m merely going by my experiences with him in interviews, his appearance on _King of the Hill_ last night, and the previews for his movie _Malibu’s Most Wanted_. But he’s just really annoying. To me, anyway.

Who here agrees with me?

I could see how he could be a little obnoxious, but I generally like his show. It’s the only thing on the WB I’ve ever watched. The one where he pretended to be a celebrity home tour bus driver and took the tourists into Bob Saget’s house was _hilarious_.

Doesn’t annoy me, but then I’ve never seen him except in promos for his incredibly stupid-looking show.

Annoy? Shoot, I want ot freakin’ stab him the eye with a pair of rusty scissors. His TV show is so stupid. Where did he come from anyway? One day I know nothing of him then the next he has his own TV show and a movie.

I have occasionally laughed at his show, but over all don’t find him amusing.

You might have seen him in Scream. He was the horror movie expert.

He is annoying, but I have to grudgingly admit that his show is actually quite funny at times. It’s very clever for a hidden camera show.

I’ve never watched his show but I’ll be going to the movies to see _Malibu’s Most Wanted_.

I was about to freakin die of laughter after I saw that episode. Diddnt they put a lot of S&M stuff in his bedroom?

The show is hit or miss for The Wife and me. We watch it for the funny parts (which ones are funny may vary by user) but he has a lot of dead time between the inspired bits.

We felt the same way about **Jackass** ,btw.

Malibu’s Most Wanted looks like a MOAB but I can’t take my eyes off of his show. It’s freaking hilarious.

The only part that makes me cringe is at the end of every skit when they say “you’ve been X’ed” and the person invariably has no idea what it means to “be X’ed.” Why don’t they just let go of the bigtime series pretense and say “you’re on a flavor-of-the-week hidden camera show”?
