So, it’s new to Comedy Central and is funny. I expect this thread to sink like a stone. Anyone else catch it? Who knew there was a Canadian farting champion? ---

Is this a ripoff of the hilarious British show Ed vs. Spencer? ---

I don’t know what Ed vs. Spencer is. ---

[QUOTE=Smeghead] Is this a ripoff of the hilarious British show Ed vs. Spencer? [/QUOTE] No, it’s the other way around. The Canadian Show is the original and is freaking fantastic. Check out [this](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenny_vs_spenny#Episode_summaries) episode list for some indication (Try and avoid the spoilers). ---

Ah, those Canadians… In any case, this show has some serious potential. ---

I’m so happy they’re back! My wife and I adore this show. And the season opener had them in rare form. I lost track of how many times we had to pause the Tivo to recover from laughing. Absolutely hilarious! One of their best episodes ever. Hooray for Kenny vs. Spenny!! ---

Wait, was this on last night? Dammit, I’ve been waiting for this. Game Show Network used to show it and then inexplicably stopped. Comedy Central is making it look really stupid in the ads with all the farting and “Produced by Matt and Trey” business. The best part of the show is the clash of the two personalities. I gotta go search my guide to see if they’re gonna rerun it. ---

Despite some of the set=ups (ie, who can fart the most/loudest) I actually enjoyed it. It’s clear that the bets/situations are just there for Kenny and Spenny to showcase their personalities and be funny in different ways. I don’t know if last nights was the newest, but damn if I don’t have any desire to eat meat for a while… ---

I’ve only seen it on late night Canadian TV. It’s usually a sign that I need to go to bed already. ---

Ugh, why did we have to export this bit of our culture. I’ve only seen a couple of episodes, but it’s Jackass level stupid, and embarrassing. ---
