    Sacha Baron Cohen is a comedic genius, and I say that with 100 percent sincerity. Andy Kaufman, Peter Sellers ... hes in that category for me.

    I loved the part with his this past week calling up the numbers he got from the girls at Arizona State. It's a weird mixture of nerve, gross-out humor and wit, the show. I always wonder if he's running out of ideas, since the first segment to me is always the weakest of the show, then he'll something uniquely funny (like the phone number bit) or something gross but I can't stop laughing (like the world's biggest motorboat).

    I think Cohen is a genius.

    I think Tosh is hilarious. I highly recommend downloading his most recent comedy special. Hilarious stuff.
     
  4. I laughed LOL'd at his breakdown riff on Chubs attempt at the bikejump.
    "Hope that wasn't his sundae eatin' hand."

    The Siamese Twins short was hilarious. His redepmtion to the Redneck stuntman was good too.

    My two favorite riffs he goes on is the hispanic toddler tumbling down the hillside and the black lady on the swingset.

    I am so going to hell.

    I think they crossed the line tonight....twice.

    1) Ripping a kid for getting his ass kicked in jiu jitsu.
    - Some lines were funny...some went to far. Unless that video is like 10 years old and the kid is in his late-teens...can you imagine how devastating it would be to be him?
    2) Showing the guy drinking horse semen.
    - Not funny, not even gross. Just sick and wrong and pretty much beastiality.

    Was that Tosh.0 or Fear Factor?

    The kid fight was tame compared to anything you'll see at a youth karate or wrestling tournament. It was just a take down and the kid got the wind knocked out of him. Not the kid's finest hour, but hardly humiliating.

    NBC execs wouldn't let Fear Factor do it. Comedy Cental gave Tosh the OK.

    It was horrifying. But I kept wondering if horse sperm looked like sea horses up close.

    I didn't think last night's episode was any more disgusting than what they've done in the past. I mean, they've had two minutes montages of people puking. I guess it all comes down to personal taste, whether Mr. Ed or the world's largest motorboat or the pregnant pornstar is the thing that makes you tap out.

    I would go with the time Tosh aired the video of a man performing oral sex on a woman on a commuter train.

    I think the tagline was Subway: eat fresh.
