06.16.09 THIS IS WHY ‘ENTOURAGE’ SUCKS

People who like Entourage thought Joey was too hard to follow.

Yep the president likes Entourage. THE PRESIDENT OF HOMOS!

I watch it but I will absolutely not defend it. I guess I just want to be watching when Adrian Grenier is ethnically cleansed.

Burnsy for the win.

uh um, I uh really enjoy uh, Mr Pivens uh uh work. Hes great in um, um, whatever uh hes um in.

Dammit everyone, this show is television’s best exhibit on the art of acting.

I seem to remember another show where the characters didn’t seem to “grow” and the same stuff happened every week. Seinfeld. Suck it. Who the hell watches this show for character anyway? It’s about jokes set in a world that most of us can only watch and not participate in. You miss the point.

I just watch it because I’m a huge fan of Mercedes Roule.

There’s no reason to “defend” it. It’s the empty calories of the TV world. A Michael Bay movie. You watch it for the pretty scenery and the occasional laugh, and if you think about it what you’re doing for more than 3 seconds you want to kill yourself. Seriously, who takes watching TV this seriously? There’s good stuff like Mad Men, Breaking Bad, etc, and there’s vapid nonsense that we watch because it’s a pretty moving picture.

Some of the guys who made Seinfeld are behind Entourage, like Seinfelds characters they aren’t mean to grow or change otherwise there’d be no show or at least they couldn’t re-tread the same material over and over.

Four words bro:

Emmanuelle Chiraqui

/hi fives around the room

Really, LazerWolf? You really want to compare Entourage and Seinfeld? REALLY? The most successful, critically-acclaimed, universally beloved comedy in television history is just like the premium-cable show about Mark Wahlberg’s sweet Hollywood life? The inspiration behind every sitcom of the past 15 years is just like the show with the flamboyant gay Asian and the intense, money-hungry Jewish agent?

The only similarity between the two shows is that the four main characters are reprehensible assholes with no moral code or sense of reality. Except in Seinfeld, you weren’t supposed to like them.

They should call this show, “What every midwesterner thinks everyone’s life in LA is exactly like”

I saw a couple of episodes of this show. The last one I saw was where the fat guy gets a pair of golden shoes with graffiti on them from some Jap.

That was the whole damn episode. I was so mad that I watched it, that I almost raped my tv. I was going to drill a hole in it and then rape it.

I just started watching the show a couple of seasons ago and I think it’s entertaining. I’m not sure what this guy wants. It’s a comedy, it’s not a drama. It shouldn’t be any more real than a Reno 911! or something like that. It is what it is. A mindless comedy that makes you laugh hard four times per episode. What do you want from the show? As for the dude who is going to rape his TV… Maybe he needs to write for the show because that was funny.

I wasn’t comparing the shows. Just that the complaint in the editorial can relate to both. All of your arguments here are valid…but that still doesn’t change that the show is not being anything more than it is. It’s not trying to be Citizen Kane, it’s, as someone pointed out earlier, the Michael Bay of TV. It’s fun, funny, short and what it’s what guys wish their lives were actually like. It’s escapist. It’s comic books. Big deal if the characters are vapid (and come on…E at least has some stuff going on). That’s not why people watch it.

The accusation: “This isn’t a very good show.”
The defense: “It’s not meant to be, bro.”

Rock. Solid.

The show has Jeremy Piven in it? Case closed.

Anything that Piven is in is made worse by his presence. In fact, I think you could just come out and say that anything with Jeremy Piven in it SUCKS, and does not deserve to exist for another second.

@Duke of Madness,

I hate to defend Jeremy Piven but: Grosse Pointe Blank and PCU would disagree.

You know, I hate to say it, but before it was cool to hate Entourage on blogs, and before the end of the second season, I actually did like it. The first season really wasn’t absolute shit. Maybe I was taken in by the alluring life of luxury and all the fucking that went on, that might have been it.

That said, Three quarters through the second season it became painfully obvious that the dramatic swells repeat each other, and that they keep shoveling the same ol’ shit.
I couldn’t even watch any of season three, and left the room when the wife had it on.

I enjoy tits and Jeremy Piven, but Drama is fucking annoying, no one in their right mind would act like Vince does in regards to a career, and E is a little faggot with short mans. Turtle is every hip hop stoner I’ve ever met.

Nice cars and hot tits can’t save this show now.

I stood up for entourage once, it stole my seat and boned my girlfriend.

Entourage fucking sucks. Its entertaining for a little bit but theres really no story, its 4 doushebags getting laid each week. If I wanted to see hot chicks i’d watch a porno. Being “mindless entertainment” isn’t a defense.
Mindless entertainment has to actually be done well to be good. Entourage is not done well.

And whoever compared it to Seinfield up there, I weep for you.

And the real reason I hate it: Hookers are NEVER KILLED during the course of any episode. I mean, what a bunch of morally depraved perverts.

You have to be a douchebag to spend your time ripping on Entourage. It’s a parody suck nuts – it’s not supposed to be intelligent, thought provoking TV – because Hollywood isn’t intelligent or thought provoking.

Your synopsis is actually dead on – but said synopsis is also the reason why the show is great. You’re an idiot.

I’m glad there is a random ass blog where morons can be critics. wait… that’s everywhere. And if you don’t have anything intelligent to say besides “IT SUCKS!” then don’t bother posting. The easiest job in the world is to be a critic, because all you have to do is rip things apart when you obviously have zero points of relevance to offer. “Lets see…. I don’t really have an opinion on this matter, but for the sake of being a critic…. THIS SUCKS! WORST SHOW EVER! ahhh, there we go. negative comments DO sound intelligent!”

Entourage is just the male version of Sex And The City, but set in LA.

Womens fantasies = unlimited money for shopping
trendy, hip places
one rich man who will love you forever

Mens fantasies = unlimited money for partying
new cars, different bars
sleeping with as many hot women as you can
on a constant rotation

Entourage is and has always been (besides the writers strike) a summer show. Now, let’s take a look at the programming that also runs during the summer so we have some ideas of what it should be compared to:

I’m a celebrity, Get Me Out of Here
So You Think You Can Dance
Wipeout
I’m Survived a Japanese Game Show
Repeats from last season…

You enjoy those deep thought provocing shows, I’ll stick with Entourage for the summer

I wish blogs would be ethnically cleansed. Oh look at me! I know how to use a computer and my opinions are important.

This guy sounds like a bitter middle age loser that tried to make it big in the movie biz himself, but never amounted to anything. So instead he watches this show in anger and jealously with the ole “that could have been me” attitude. Seriously man, get a life. TV is an escape and a guilty pleasure for most. There isn’t a show in the world that EVERYONE loves (well, maybe Lost – come one say one bad thing about lost… you can’t!), and I’ve seen some real pieces of crap out there. Entourage is not the greatest show of all time, but its excellent entertainment and enjoyed by most. To the writer of this blog – chock on a cock you bitter loser and enjoy a life of misery. what a fcuking cry baby.

And as a second note, that video from college humor isn’t even funny. I love a good parody, even when it makes fun of things I enjoy, but I couldn’t waste another second watching that piece of crap. Hey, wait a sec, I bet the author here saw this video and thought THIS was ACTUALLY The Show. NOWW it all makes sense. Case closed, we can all move on with our lives.

JOHNNY DRAMA IS MY IDOL!

this is perfect…I fell the same way about FAMILY GUY. I say it’s ok because everyone thinks it’s brilliant. I actually think it is so cheap and easy. SOUTH PARK blows that how away.

Video was hilarious. This show sucks ass. Remember when Jermey Piven was on Seinfeld, before his hairplugs? The guys that like this show are the same as every dork that went to college, joined a frat and became an even bigger douche bag.

everyone that is hating on this show probably also watches star trek and every show on the sci-fi channel. seriously get a life you fucking losers, who really cares, the shows hilerious and obviously alot of other people agree plus the fact that it has won many awards….http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Entourage_awards_and_nominations

Bobman, your mother watches Michael Bay movies!

No need to drill a hole in your TV, just check the back.

p.s. Your comment made me jizz in my pants.

Then don’t watch it.
Stop complaining you sad losers.

wow. i never thought anyone would be so bitter about not getting the part of lloyd’s bottom

The thing is more formulaic than Scooby Doo. Here I speculate on the future storylines.

Entourage rules. If you don´t like a tv show just don´t watch it. It´s pathetic to criticize it with such an anger. I actually think you can compare Entourage to Seinfeld because both are great shows. Ps: funny video.

“(and come on…E at least has some stuff going on).”

Has to be the gayest thing ever written. With “Entourage rules” coming in at #2.

To the dude who wrote this blog:

“you’re embracing a position as part of the lowest common denominator in society” -That’s what you said in reference to those who LIKE ‘Entourage.’

Let me point out the obvious. Those who spend their time writing about TELEVISION shows on little blogs of no significance are the ones who represent “the lowest common denominator in society.”

Think about the purpose of television- it’s to entertain. TV lost its educational and strictly news media function in the 50s; Just look to Edward Burrow’s editorials from back in the day by CBC.

Enjoy the show, embrace it for what it is- mindless entertainment (which is all TV is anyways). Now, I know you try to make TV more important and significant than it really is; it is after all your livelihood, sitting in your mom’s basement, playing on the computer. Get a grip, a reality check, a cold glass of water splashed in your face. Now go write about something more important (you could do a brilliant and tragic blog on how you’re middle-aged, a virgin, overweight and without any real friends… no, your World of Warcraft friends don’t count).

Perhaps Entourage’s greatest quality has nothing to do with the comedy, or the acting, or even Ari Gold’s rants. Perhaps it might be that there’s an actual comedy with a serialized plot with fun characters, and about the oft fictionalized, yet always talked about media industry. This is no different than any other show that can epitomize the setting in which its based. Entourage is a show about guys, it’s a show that most guys with a life can relate to. If you can’t relate to that, fine.

But what kind of prick attacks the people who like the show? We’ve got no beef with you, and you certainly don’t have the credentials to act like you can intellectually assess us, and start beef with us, so do everyone here a favor, and shut down this perez hilton esque blog. And stop being a drama queen.

“L.A. isn’t the best backdrop for compelling television.”

Entourage is such a piece of crap, I thought I was the only one who felt that way, I think your quote above hit the nail on the head, Entourage sucks because the superficial LA scene sucks ass, too.

this is why you should watch it http://whatgiveshuh.blogspot.com/2009/07/entourage-is-back_13.html

I can’t watch the video, but that Videogum dribble now looks even more stupid. The show has actually moved on a little. Nobody takes Entourage seriously. It would be so easy to pick holes in it that it’s not worth bothering, but you did for some reason…

Its a comedy therefore there is no character growth. The person who wrote this sounds like a girl who felt victimized after a one night stand because she thought the guy she was banging that she had just met “loved her”. Now the poor victim is taking their anger out on Entourage and anyone who thinks it is funny. Everything written here could pretty much apply to any show on TV. CSI Miami is so deep & complex…Yeah Right!

Entourage sucks, period. Hot girls, okay that’s nice, buy a porno. I can’t stand the lead guy, he’s annoying in everything and looks to be 15 years old. Pivens has maybe one or two movies that I found amusing, not in this. Here he’s a crass and annoying. The rest of the guys don’t do a thing for the show either. The fact that this won an Emmy shows just how crappy our TV shows and movies, in general have become. I’ve tried to like this show and have caught quite a bit of episodes but I give up – It’s really not all that funny. You can chuckle here and there that’s pretty much it. And it’s the same crap every season. I really couldn’t care about character growth but the originality of the show has crashed and burned.

i watch entourage but i agree its not the best show on tv. not sure how it won anything either and this coming from a fan of the show lol

you guys are idiots. first of all, this really is one of those shows where you should watch it in succession to really enjoy it. yeah, the concepts of the episodes are the same, but isn’t every TV show that way? i think the shows are really well written and the characters are well developed, and likeable. sorry you don’t like the show, don’t fucking watch it, i don’t like broccoli, so i don’t eat it, but i’m not about to start a blog about hating broccoli. enjoy good television.

What you’re perceive to ’suck’ about Entourage is nothing more than reality. The show itself is well written, but the truth is THAT world is shallow, boastful, arrogant, flashy, sexually promiscuous, ungodly, sinful accepting/abiding; We have manifested ourselves away from nature and God entirely now.. when its completion occurs He will intercede… only then will people STOP IN THEIR TRACKS.. and realize the truth of the calamity brought on to themselves by their very own mind which they have made into an ever accepting haven of acceptable destruction beyond all restitution and not ever cable of repentance. Getting laid is a way of life, eh? It’s the shizz to buy $$$ cars and 20k bottles of wine, eh? Vanity VAnity, everything is Vanity, love is gone; self fulfillment has replaced it.

— Luke 11:13: “…will God not give the Holy Spirit to they that ask Him?” — ASK PEOPLE.. stay persistent and refrain from dressing up to get ogled (stared at; wanting eyes to want you… that’s what that means… to enjoy and also to convey the ‘look’ of lust and ‘want’… it’s what God hates, we’re all gonna die one day, that’s without a doubt? Wake up and think about it–

Funny critics never make their own productions but complain about others. Bitterness? Jealousy? Annoyance? Envy? Laziness? Meh, who knows, this is only a blog…

Besides, if they get paid good money to do a job they love, what’s the big deal? Wishing death upon them and supporters is an terrible. Did they reject your spec or something?

Oh, and Piven wears a rug not plugs.

This arrogant, mugging, f*cktard hails from here (Chicago) and I can tell you that he can’t act . . . Piven is Ari Gold and Ari Gold is Piven. I overheard a local bartender tell Piven, “There’s no love for you here, please leave now!”. Perfect sentiment.

The best episode of Entourage is about as entertaining as the worst episode of Just Shoot Me.

You all hate my son cause he keeps racking up on all these awards! Lol I personally enjoy the show & all the cameos are fine with me as well & why hate on 50? He was only on for like 20 seconds lol & for someone who hates this show so much you obviously spend a lot of time watching it to know what’s going on & who’s showing up in it get a life you bum.

I don’t even know what the hell you are talking about. THESE PEOPLE ARE THE GREAT THESPIANS OF OUR TIME.

I agree with jp’s dad. Clearly you all watch the show. Its just finished its 6th and is most likely going to be picked up for another (if it already hasn’t). At least you will still have something to bitch about for another year, and then maybe the dvd releases? Or why it shouldn’t be released on “BlueRay”.

Three boorish, unemployable white trash kids from Queens latch on to their equally vapid but vastly better looking movie star friend and bask in the glory of their newfound parasitic lifestyle. Also they have a psychotic Jew agent. Everyone gets drunk and laid, and while our worthless quartet of bros get themselves into hairy situations every now and then things are always resolved in time for them to get drunk and laid that night. They also are required to encounter several high-profile celebrities doing shameless, half-assed mugging for a quick HBO paycheck on a regular basis.

The preceding was a summary of one of the most wildly popular shows among American male youths, further illustrating why the next generation of American youths will be learning Chinese as their required foreign language.

Tylenol Jones is a fucking genius (except for the white trash comment, is it a sin to be white and poor?). Complaining about a show you dont like on a blog is expressing sentiment about the drool (tv) we fill our lives with. Critics criticize, not everyone is a good critic. Dissing this show means caring enough about an art form to care to hold it to higher standards. I myself used to hate this piece of crap, now, i know its crap, but cant wait to hear Lloyd jokes or the extremely awkward scenes that involve minorities (kudos to the nazi casting people). This show is typical, racist, exclusive, American crap. And like the fidler in the last days of Rome, I cant help but watch.

BTW, the losers that googled this topic and then decided to post about hating the author of this blog are just as pathetic as their comments. Since when is it illegal to hate popular shit? WTF is wrong with the human race?
