One reviewer described this as a show that made fun of women,particularly the wives or girlfriends of the hosts,Jimmy Kimmel and Adam CArrola. While the women in the show aren't spared the ridicule,I felt like this show was as much a debasement(all in fun,of course)of men and what appeals to males in general.
The first four or five seasons of the show were fun,albeit not the kind of fun you'd proudly announce you enjoyed to mixed company. Jimmy and Adam have a relaxed comedic style and the show kept the material breezy enough that the sexism was obvious and fairly easy to dismiss. The last season or two with Joe Rogan and Doug Stanhope I barely watched,as it seemed barely watchable. My question about that was:why was the show still on Comedy Central? Neither Rogan or Stanhope are funny and the dumb,loose-necked sketch comedy was replaced with mostly "Fear FActor" style gross-outs and a mean-spirited approach to their chauvinism. My opinion of course.
As said before,hardly the hallmark of great television,but if you enjoy dumb comedy mixed with healthy doses of ribaldry,this show works.
