07.10.09 AND NOW, ASIANS DOING WALKEN IMPRESSIONS
This amazing clip of Asian people doing impressions of Christopher Walken was featured on last night’s “Tosh.0,” and you really need to get on your ass and start watching that show. Comedy Central could have run a test pattern for the other 21 minutes of content and this video alone would have made it worthwhile, but instead the episode was chockful o’ goodness, including a great Web Redemption of the Leave Britney Alone guy and a response to a black guy laying his cash out on a pool table with the title “Is This Racist?”
When I likened this show to “The Soup” but for the Internet, some people noted that “Web Soup” is like “The Soup” for the Internet. Fair point, but what I meant is that this show is GOOD. This is proof that instead of just running out a clip show with some already hired on-air talent, networks can invest some time and money in developing an idea and hiring an actual professional comedian to host. Crazy idea, I know. I’m crazy. Look at this crazy TV watcher, crazily wanting TV that’s good.

I’mma be internet famous this week if people keep talking about me not-by-name!
I think Chris Hardwick counts as a professional comedian too. I enjoy both shows (although seeing the same clips for the 4th or 5th time, they can lose lustre), but I do have to give the upper hand to Tosh.0 for doing more to make the format unique and engaging. That said, “Tosh.0″ is a really stupid name.
