As most of you know, comedy central is a cable network which features, the daily show, the colbert report, and southpark. These are all funny shows (most of the time at least), and are appropriately placed on comedy central. The rest of the shows on comedy central are not funny.
If you've been around tl a while, you are probably thinking, wow, talk about the pot calling the kettle black.
You should look at it a different way: the rest of the shows on comedy central are so terrible and so "anti-funny" that they are even worse than me. I won't try to explain why they aren't funny. If you don't already know it, you should flip on comedy central. Watch the daily show, watch the colbert report, and watch southpark. They might be hit or miss, but at least at times they are hilarious. In the meantime watch the commercials for all the other shows they are pushing. I honestly can't tell who their demographic is even supposed to be. It's just god awful.
I must admit, I don't regularly watch their other shows... so it's possible the commercials are just awful representations of what the shows are like. The stuff I have seen, however, supports my hypothesis (in my mind) 100%.
I think they can safely rename the network to "Daily Report Park Plus Shit."
Who watches the rest of this junk? Or do they survive solely on income from the success of the key three?

Yeah I agree 100%. I do know some people into that kind of comedy so they certainly exist, but I try not to talk to them much in general

Isn't tosh . 0 on cc?
If not, disregared my post.
If it is, I have a couple friends who like tosh . 0. Also you shouldn't start to hate on something until AFTER youve tried it. Also new shows are full of new and INEXPERIENCED comedians who want to make it big. They are on CC and they got this chance now. Not saying everyone who is gonna be good has to below up immediately, but you gotta give them time to blossom.

Tosh.0 and Comedy Central Presents [insert comedian] are both decently funny.

True, but on the other hand there needs to be a point where you can hate on something without having reached 100% completion. If I am on TL saying I thought Final Fantasy X was a terrible videogame, you might want to know if I actually gave it a fair chance. If I have say, beaten the game and done a couple of sidequests then I have every right to hate on it... I don't need to have beaten every monster in the arena through nemesis before it is permissible for me to hate on it (although 'hate on it' might be a bit strong).
I guess the question is whether or not I have given it a fair chance. As I said I have only seen a few shows outside of the key three, but I've seen tons of commercials (am I really going to watch dozen of episodes of shows I can't stand?). The only way comedy central's other stuff is good is if the commercials completely misrepresent them almost every time, which is actually a real possibility, I'll admit.

honestly....I think another question of worth would be why get all riled up about something when you could just as easily switch to FOX or something and watch Family Guy or Friends. I don't watch TV, I torrent all my shows so when I want to watch something, I have to make the conscious decision to torrent it and that pretty much forces me to give it a fair outlook.
I also don't watch commercials anymore too lol

i don't watch much tv at all anymore, but i love the stand-up on there and i'll watch tosh if it's on. i don't watch much of the other stuff on there besides the big ones you mentioned, but i've heard mixed reviews so i can't assume it's all bad

Well I wouldn't say I'm all riled up about it. Certainly, nobody forces me to watch the other shows (and I generally don't watch them). I often watch the daily show and colbert report live and I don't think I have a way to bypass the commercials other than to try not to pay attention to them (which often happens).
The purpose of this thread isn't: why is comedy central making my life worse? It is: what is up with comedy central?

ahh. my bad, I was getting the wrong vibe off of the blog lol.
Well, they are just branching out into different areas of humor, it's gonna be a hit or miss for some people and they can't please everyone, but it is a smart business model and then after something prooves successful, just continue the show on for more than a season and BOOM here comes the $$$

As a couple of others have said, comedy central presents can be really funny at times if you give the comedian a chance. Not all the comedians are golden, but a hell of a lot of them give a pretty decent effort.
Comedy Central tries to take the more successful comedians and give them shows for hopes of hitting another Chappelle show, but they generally fail. While I don't like most of the shows on comedy central, I have no grudge against the channel. It delivers what it promises, and it tries to experiment here and there. While most of their experimental shows are not very good, I do like that they give comedians a shot at their own show.
I don't think Comedy Central really deserves much flak compared to what other cable networks deliver (MTV, Discovery, History, etc.). They are least trying to stick with their roots and keep standup alive.
EDIT: typo

This isn't news. Most comedy of any tv show is terrible, as most things are actually. 90% or more is crap just trying to cash in on the fad or style or copy or fill in the gaps between the other programming or releases. I personally do not even find those news/mockery/comedy shows to be funny either. And southpark is pretty good but I don't usually ever watch it.
Imho, internet webseries are starting to come into mainstream a lot more these days. There is pioneer stuff happening more often now with that Blue show on YT, and other stuff releasing entire seasons directly to netflix that you can watch at your leisure. That is the future. Tv sucks. I only ever watch stuff on PC-hdmi cabl to bigscreen.
Micronesia, workaholics is only funny if you smoke weed/party all the time. You won't find it funny, as I didn't. One glaringly bad plothole about the show that I just find to be breaking the suspension of disbelief is that fact that they barely work their shitty low paying job that relies on sales commissions and they have a nice house, tons of shit, and extra cash to be throwing around all the time. I dunno, maybe that's just me, but it's too unrealistic; as the characters are.

you should at least let some one go into a series with an open-mind instead of calling everyone who watches it a brainless pothead
