_The Man Show_ is usually gross and offensive in a funny way but that was way too creepy. By comparison, the ending to _Hannibal_ was bad but it didn’t my flesh crawl like this sketch did. Every good boy loves his mother but…\ I have to go take a shower. Where’s the Tide and Clorox? ---

Opal, I just watched it and I need to go shower with a wire brush… :::shudder::: Why did they even do that? Argh!

I was acutally nauseous afterward for about 20 minutes.

_in best butthead voice_ - The Man Show is the best show ever created! I love this… it has no redeeming qualities other then pig entertainment… I love it… cant say it enough. I also love that skit! That is one of the funniest things I have ever seen. ---

It’s been a funny show on rare occasion, but Adam and Jimmy strike me as insufferable A-holes and it makes me wonder who decided these 2 are good TV personalities. In general, I don’t watch. ---

I used to love Jimmy on Win Ben Stein’s Money, but he’s only good as a second banana, not as the main tv personality. * * * “I was born in this town, I was raised in this town, and I’ll probably die in this town.

> [@](#): > > I used to love Jimmy on Win Ben Stein’s Money, but he’s only good as a second banana, not as the main tv personality. Agreed. He comes off stiff next to Adam Carola (insert perverted joke here). ## The fact that I found the Mom on a date episode to be hillarious says a lot more about me than I’d like to admit. You say “cheesy” like that’s a **BAD** thing.
