Penn & Teller: Bullshit! - General

[QUOTE=Jacam12SUX;23801577]Way too fucking biased on every subject they talk about. They're both god damn morons who only care about the money they make.[/QUOTE] a little biased aren't we there. Penn and Teller Enjoy [url]http://tv.blinkx.com/show/penn-teller-bullshit/qFYGFtstICViITML[/url]

[QUOTE=Rusty100;23799929]this show owns [editline]11:42PM[/editline] except the episode about guns/gun control. they were wrong in that one.[/QUOTE] I literally cried at the ending :ohdear:.

What people seem to be missing is the fact that this is a show about two(one) guys (guy) giving their OPINION on matters and gathering evidence/interviews to support that, they're not there to give a balanced argument.

[QUOTE=Gubbinz96;23801480]Ha I thought that was one of their best ones.[/QUOTE] Maybe it just upsets Rusty when he realizes his views are bullshit

[QUOTE=Carbon Knight;23802059]That was probably my least favorite episode. In the end they just had a celebrity claim that more people die from chairs a year than guns. Even though a chair is not designed to be a weapon, more based on accidents, and is in greater circulation. And the idea of saying that having a firefight in a bar is a better thing than what occurred was stupid. There is a reason why we have police officers and not vigilante law enforcement.[/QUOTE] Yeah, I totally know what you mean bro. If there are more gun laws and gun control, criminals wouldn't get guns because criminals operate within the law right? Criminals buy guns illegally and for cheap. Why the hell would they go to a gun store where there's waiting lists and possibly background checks? Over stacking rules and regulations probably won't stop the production of firearms. Guns will still be made and sold out the back door illegally. Should there be gun control? Yes. Should we completely rely on the police to protect us? No. To have complete gun control you would need to stop the production of all firearms across the world, and that won't happen anytime soon. Besides, firefights are pretty badass. You can impress others if you do rolls and flips, if you can't do either you're screwed.

This show rules. Needs more Desert Bus.

There are almost as many guns as there are citizens in the US, making it harder for law abiding citizens to obtain them will only do harm to those who follow the law. Criminals do not follow the law and they sure as shit don't buy those automatic tec9s with the serials filed off at your local gun store.

[QUOTE=Devodiere;23800722]NASA was awesome, definitely my favourite. Holier than thou was also pretty good, shitting all over Mother Teresa. And Nukes, Hybrids and Lesbians, loved that one.[/QUOTE] I don't always agree with Devodiere, but when I do I prefer Dos Equis.

They're too scared to cover Muslims though, and that upsets me.

The show is awesome and they tend to make great points.

[QUOTE=Badunkadunk;23804708]They're too scared to cover Muslims though, and that upsets me.[/QUOTE] It does to me as well, but when you go after Christians they pray for your soul, when you go after Muslims they park car bombs outside your house. [quote=http://boingboing.net/2010/06/28/why-penn-and-teller.html]Are there any groups you won't go after? We haven't tackled Scientology because Showtime doesn't want us to. Maybe they have deals with individual Scientologists —- I'm not sure. And we haven't tackled Islam because we have families. Meaning, you won’t attack Islam because you’re afraid it’ll attack back ... Right, and I think the worst thing you can say about a group in a free society is that you’re afraid to talk about it—I can’t think of anything more horrific. [...] [/quote]

[QUOTE=Badunkadunk;23804708]They're too scared to cover Muslims though, and that upsets me.[/QUOTE] No they're definitely not bullshit I've met some before

Watching the Teen Sex episode right now, this show is great. Crazy christian rednecks panicking over sexting :v:

They aired this show last summer in Iceland. I fell in love at the first episode!! It's fucking great, and makes you think!

the climate change episode is fucking moronic that's the only one i've seen i have a real qualm with, though

[QUOTE=Rusty100;23799929] except the episode about guns/gun control. they were wrong in that one.[/QUOTE] Not really, they hit the nail right on the head. But opinions differ, so meh.

[QUOTE=Rusty100;23799929]this show owns [editline]11:42PM[/editline] except the episode about guns/gun control. they were wrong in that one.[/QUOTE] or the climate change one the one with no climate scientists

They should do an episode about themselves showcasing all of the times they've been wrong They could do a two hour special for it

great show

[QUOTE=JohnnyMo1;23805339]No they're definitely not bullshit I've met some before[/QUOTE] i think he meant Islam. they already did Christianity.

[QUOTE=ZekeTwo;23814344]They should do an episode about themselves showcasing all of the times they've been wrong They could do a two hour special for it[/QUOTE] actually, that's what they're planning to do for their final episode, when the time comes for the show to end. "The Bullshit of Bullshit", Penn calls it.

Can not say that it needs more tits though.

I really like the show. It's entertaining and happens to provide actual arguments. Whether I agree or not with what they are saying doesn't matter to me, as long as it is entertaining and informative on some level.

i liked the sex episode.

One of the funniest shows I have ever seen.

I don't get showtime D:

[QUOTE=Lazor;23812257]the climate change episode is fucking moronic that's the only one i've seen i have a real qualm with, though[/QUOTE] Problem witht his show is, that they're extremely liberal (in the original sense). They think the government is evil, and you can't really stop the climate changes without government intervention, so they're against climate change.

It's a great show to get up on youtube when you're bored, most episodes are on there if I remember.

the circumcision episode was the most painful experience of my life

The organic food episode makes me all :smug: because I absolutely detest people who buy into organic food myths and misconceptions. Also, if you're a fan of Penn and Teller, go watch the episode of the Simpsons in which they guest star. Fucking hilarious.
