One Word Go Show
This show will stick in my mind for a long time. It took a LOT of effort to get through this. I am not a prude. I laugh at comedians like Louie CK, Chris Rock, and Eddie Murphy (back in the day). I loved Sam Kinison. I laugh at South Park and the Family Guy. I love to laugh. This show is billed as a comedy. I didn\u2019t hear any sarcasm. I didn\u2019t hear an commentary on life that pointed out ironic behavior. There is (under neath it all) formulas that work in comedy and in opinion (and that\u2019s all this is) this show doesn\u2019t follow any of them. If you think the phrase \u201cWho doesn\u2019t masterbate at funerals\u201d is funny then this show is for you. For me, it\u2019s stupid.\nI watched Saturday night Fever. I watched the Wold of Wall Street (which set a record for the number of times \u201cThe F Word\u201d was used in a movie). There was a story. There was CONTENT. This podcasts seems to swear because they want to be edgy. They have icing, but no cake.\nThe premise of the show is they take words that have been submitted by the audience and make a show out of that one word. This is something similar that improv groups do where they pull multiple words from a group and try to fit them all into a sketch. I\u2019ve seen Second City in Chicago (a group that was supplied much of the cast for the first season of Saturday Night Live), and even that group had 30% of their content bomb. In general,\xc2\xa0good content does not happen by winging it.\xc2 \nIn today\u2019s show the highlights are:\nA girl sings I\u2019m a little teapot out the window One of the hosts is leaving They do a prank call They talk about the co-hosts surfing for porn on his phone.\nI typically say content should\xc2\xa0move your audience. It should inspire them. My question is, \u201cWhat do the crew and One Word Go Show want us to do with this?\u201d OK it\u2019s a comedy show. They expect us to laugh. I get that. For me (being in my late 40\u2032s) I didn\u2019t find it funny. Maybe if you\u2019re between the ages of 15-22, you will.\nThe Lightning Bolt That Is Breanne\nIf you are a offensive enough person on reality TV, you will get your own show (see Honey Boo Boo, see Ambrosia, etc). On their website she is described as \u201cShe\xe2\u20ac\u2122s very open about her life, and doesn\xe2\u20ac\u2122t give a crap what you think. \u201d She reminds me of Cartman\u2019s \u201cWhatever I do what I want, only Breana would say \u201cI do whatever I F#*king want Bitch.\u201d\n\xa0\nFor me, they lost me in the first 3 minutes with the endless unnecessary swearing. I do thank Mat for giving us a heads up that what was coming was immature, \u201cdirty\u201d, and at times violent.\nHow to Swear Properly\nThe F word is a word to accent a level of intensity. If you you broke up with me, I might say you broke my heart. If you broke up with me after I bought you a leather Jacket for Valentines day and you\u2019re now dating my brother, I might say you F#*king broke my heart. If I use the word without respect for its power, you drain it of all it\u2019s power. It loses it\u2019s effect. Please respect the F word. It\u2019s one of the best words we have.\n\xa0\nYou might look at a post (http://davidjackson.org/2008/02/it-takes-more-than-7-dirty-words-and-lack-of-tact/) that I did a while ago that talks about Howard Stern had more than just dirty word. When he was on regular radio that required him to be\xc2\xa0creative.\nI have a sneaking suspicion that heavy drinking occurs before this show starts recording (as some of these topics are \u2013 in my opinion \u2013 are not as funny as the laugh they inspire).\nWhat This Show Does Well\nThey provide a disclaimer at the beginning of the show\nThey have easy to find subscribe buttons
