      I have always felt they were on the OG level of what a classic Tosh.0 format is. They had really good video compilations and witty references minus the racial jokes... which I enjoy of course. I think the issue is that there is only so many times you can do things repeatedly before you need to innovate.

      I'm not trying to be a hater.. I see myself as the Proud Parent (not trying to be vein implying I birthed anything) who doesn't want his child to fail because he loves it so much!

    • Good Afternoon,

      Can we please update the 'wit' factor on this? I really don't like sounding like a hater.. yet I write this (Sorry to be a Hipo-crite). I have no clue to the internal make up with/without Connor, if this "x factor" is based on his sheer delivery or other writing staff, but this isn't as "OMG.. I need to FB VIDEO POST THIS! TEE HEE" as before.

      I enjoy (highly): Ben Hoffman & Viral Film School... I was a big fan of "That's Gay" but now A-Lister and "Gay Wedding" is highly underwhelming, on the levels of SNL humor... and I always felt you guys were the ALT-ROCK to my N'Sync.

      But please keep up the work so I can LOL and ROFL occasionally, smile always, I know its hard to be the next George Carlin Cynic each Thursday.. but Im missing that subjective factor of great (IE. Hipster Olympics(not your work but I use that as a gold standard or "Faith of US Gov't").

      Audi 5000,

      Drubonic
