What do you think of Crossballs?

[coloradodem2005]

I watched it last night and it was kind of funny.

[CalebHayes]

1. It's alright.

[MercutioATC]

2. It's a little too obvious, I think.

I'd rather see the impostors be a little more believable.

[Feanorcurufinwe]

3. Funny idea

when I watched it, I would only give the execution a 5 on a scale of 10, but there is potential for better, I think.

4. Did you see when the anti-drug lady

was asked to name just ONE role-model that has not gotten high and she looks the dude in the eye and says: PRESIDENT BUSH. I don't even thing the audience knew what to say to that! Typical uninformed pug! LMAO

[coloradodem2005]

7. Was she acting or was she for real? n/t

[Worst Username Ever]

10. The one on the right side of the screen

is always the legit expert. She was legit!

[coloradodem2005]

11. I don't know how legit she was.

If she thinks that Bush is such an angel when it comes to drugs. But, I guess it is okay for him to snort cocaine, just not for Marion Berry.

13. Don't forget the follow-up

"You just proved my point."

5. I like it, especially last night's episode.

The fellow who had his own Independent Center for Marijuana Research. Hilarious!

Pretty good sendup of Hardball and Crossfire. Yes, it's over the top, but don't they kinda deserve a little mocking derision?

6. Not bad but it is hard to satire shows that are so stupid to begin with

Crossfire is crap and Hardball is Tweety's ego petting show.

[President Jesus]

8. It illustrates how some people just tke themselves WAY too seriously...

...because I don't know how anyone with their head screwed on right wouldnt know that was a joke after 90 seconds.

If they did without a studio audience, perhaps it would be more realistic that a person could be duped.

9. They have this ad...

where the "real" guest is a homophobe and the "fake" guest is a gay guy. Gay guy says to homophobe guy, "You're gay!" Homophobe guy says, "I am NOT gay!!!!" Gay guy says, "Yes you are, it's just a matter of degree. I'm like, a nine, you're like, a three or a four."

Too funny - and I saw that anti-drug chick (the one with the plank up her behind). Bush a lifelong non-drug user??? Uh-huh. Even W isn't stupid enough to claim that.

[Khephra]

12. It started out "ok"

But the "Drugs" episode really showed that they were capable of great humor.

I'm recording to DVD, which is the highest compliment that I can give a show.

[Mojambo]

14. Shows like this often take a while to hit their stride

With the talent involved I fully expect this show to become VERY hot.
Somebody should tell comedy central that the absolute perfect time slot for Crossballs is right after The Daily Show.

That would be an awesome hour of media satire.

[Khephra]

15. sad to say

"Tough Crowd" comes back next week. "Crossballs" will still be on though...at least for another 5 weeks. (it has a 7 week pilot run)

[chelsea0011]

16. It is after Daily Show...only the next day

A day late but still funny

[Khephra]

17. Notice that they're doing broad topics

so that the shows will still hold up over time. That's one of their best moves for doing the show.

[kixot]

18. HILARIOUS!!

I love watching the guest experts and how their eyes bulge with anger only to see them soften up near the end of the show when they realize that they've been had.
