I watched the first episode and it was so unfunny I haven't watched again.

[Sammy Sofa]

I laughed at the start of the first episode because they nailed the SportsCenter tone perfectly, but after that....yeah, not so much.

[UMFan83]

Some of their bits completely miss, but the ones that hit are hilarious IMO.

 

They do a good job of recreating the feel and look of sportscenter, but put their own hilarious spin on it.

 

I'd say 20% of their stories are really funny, 40% are mildly funny, and the last 40% are rather meh.

 

Also, I haven't ever watched the show, I have only watched the clips they put up on the site. Maybe its more funny watching it that way and picking and choosing the clips that seem funny. I dunno.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Ugh, Sportsdome is horrible.

[UMFan83]

I hate you all. You don't understand humor.

 

This is the only board that I've read even one person say that don't like SportsDome. So either its groupthink or I have less in common with this board than I thought I did

It loses 2/3rds of the audience that watches Tosh.0...so I'd say there's a fair number of people that aren't fans.

Well, at least it gave us this.

[sneakypower]

take it easy, he had posted that in bed

[treebird]

ONE that clip is funny

 

TWO the fact that people who like stupid tosh.0 change the channel when this comes on makes me think i should check it out

[Sammy Sofa]

You should watch neither.

Tosh's new stand up special premieres this weekend. Yay!

speaking of unfunny...

 

Anyways, they put clips up of the entire show, having watched 70-80% of the clips, I believe I can say that I've seen the show. It's interchangable.

We already are; we're in the SportsDome thread.

It really isn't. The clips on line, taken in small doses and filtering out the ones that look stupid, is better than watching the painfully unfunny TV show.

Point taken. This is why I suggested that maybe that's why I find it funny when others don't. Watching 2-3 actually funny clips during a 5 minute break at work is probably more enjoyable to watch 30 minutes straight of the show.

 

NUTS AND GUM YOU HAVE SERVED ME, I HAVENT REALLY SEEN THE SHOW AND YET COMMENTED AS IF I HAVE!! ALSO, FERRIS BUELLER IS 100% REAL!

[Northside Blues]

Sure would be nice to have one (or two) more 120+ OPS Soriano years.

[OleMissCub]

I only saw one clip from this show's first episode and it made me laugh my ass off. Something about a teenager trying to set the world record for masturbation in a day.

[UMFan83]

The Kwame Brown draft was my favorite clip so far.

[ConstableRabbit]

The clips are funny, but the sketches on the show go on for wayy too long.

 

It's not funny enough to be a 30 min tv program.

Calm down, psycho.

[BigSlick]

The Onion, as a newspaper or whatever, is actually much better with just the headlines and without the articles that usually break the joke down way too hard and kills it.

 

For example, Headline: Cubs Hope To Get Disappointing Soriano In Shape By Swimming With Sharks, Skydiving Without A Parachute

 

thats it, thats the whole joke, we don't really need an article or a video about it, its funny, I chuckled, lets move on.
