[QUOTE=Madman_Andre;19876472]:doh: I remember when the History Channel cared about, you know, [I]History.[/I][/QUOTE] I think COD is taking care of teaching History to the younger generation... :ohdear:
Fortunately I get History International, which still airs a lot of the old documentaries.
He isnt that stupid you guys, Honestly Although as per his TV usual he is going to act stupid, therefore it is kind of :downs: of History Channel
[QUOTE=MisterMooth;19876695]Larry the Cable Guy is a funny comedian,[/QUOTE] No he's not. Everyone else in the group is at the least 10x funnier than he THINKS he is. Bill Engvall is my personal favorite of the group.
Come on History Channel not this bullshit, I watch it for History, not that motherfucker. Comedy Central has him on almost all the time.
[QUOTE=Used Car Salesman;19879255]Finally, someone else who remembers when TLC actually had documentaries, instead of being a 24 hour freakshow. 8 babies! 900 lb man! Midgets! Deformed kids![/QUOTE] How many years ago was that, I don't remeber a time when TLC didn't have crap like that on.
Larry the Cable Guy is just a character, children. His real name is Daniel Whitney. He used to be a character standup until he hit it ridiculously big when people took the Larry character seriously.
[QUOTE=Lucinice;19883671]How many years ago was that, I don't remeber a time when TLC didn't have crap like that on.[/QUOTE] It was in the late 90s, Junk Yard Wars, albeit an awesome show, started the decline into reality shows.
They should just name the history channel the Hitler channel because that is all i see on there when i look though it. Always shit about Hitler or subjects relating to Hitler.
[QUOTE=madmanmad;19879088]People are gonna look back thousands of years from now and be all "THIS was our history?"[/QUOTE] If we actually still exist thousands of years in the future.
and think, it used to be The Hitler Channel. :911:
It's supposed to be satire you guys, Larry the Cable Guy is just a persona. The man under him is actually pretty smart
[QUOTE=rabidwulf92;19884455]It's supposed to be satire you guys, Larry the Cable Guy is just a persona. The man under him is actually pretty smart[/QUOTE] Either way, he shouldn't be on the History Channel.
Really this kind of show would be better suited for the Travel or Discovery channel.
I dunno if the American station History Channel is owned by the same people as the Canadian station History Television, but on the latter the other night I saw A Knight's Tale. I'm hoping that it was half of one of their "Fact and Film" segments, which I quite enjoy.
[QUOTE=rabidwulf92;19884455]It's supposed to be satire you guys, Larry the Cable Guy is just a persona. The man under him is actually pretty smart[/QUOTE] It's not satire. If it were satire, there would be some sort of element of mockery to it. He's not a satirist, he just realized he could get rich telling dumb, easy, lowest-common-denominator jokes and ran with it. He's just like Thomas Kinkade, effortlessly pushing out meaningless pap designed only to appeal to as wide an audience as possible. I know it's just a character, but the person behind the character is a hack.
[QUOTE=lolwutdude;19879512]What the fuck? What happened to the old days when we learned the badassery of Hannibal and how he brought Roman to his knees?[/QUOTE] Roman? I think you mean Rome.
[QUOTE=JohnnyMo1;19878608]Another nail in the coffin of human society.[/QUOTE] American society, you mean.
I remember when the history channel was the history channel. Now pretty much the only channel that shows any history is the Military channel.
[QUOTE=lolwutdude;19879512]What the fuck? What happened to the old days when we learned the badassery of Hannibal and how he brought Roman to his knees?[/QUOTE] [I]Hey Hannibal, Wanna go see some titties?[/I]
hyuck
I miss the Nazi channel.
History channel began to suck when they started airing monsterquest. They never found ANYTHING in all the seasons the show had, it was cool at first cuz they searched for Bigfoot and had cool evidence but then they searched for shit nobody believes exists. A giant octopus with NO reported sightings that lives in the ruins of a sunken bridge under a busy bridge? Get fucking real. Don't even get me started on the giant bird sightings
someone needs to make a :hist101: version of :pseudo:
[QUOTE=Sigma-Lambda;19884624]He's not a satirist, he just realized he could get rich telling dumb, easy, lowest-common-denominator jokes and ran with it. [/QUOTE] That is the satire.
Well, ladies and gentlemen. Intellectuality is now impossible on national TV. I am going to cancel my subscription to dish network and get all my news from the internet. G'day chaps!
the only thing that could be worse is if the food channel decides to have a show about cars. It's a stupid idea.
[QUOTE=Lankist;19888861]That is the satire.[/QUOTE] well if his satire consists of solely of telling unfunny jokes to easily-amused people, then it's not a very good satire He's a run-of-the-mill hack. You just love to posture yourself as more aware and in the know than everyone else. "Can't you dumbasses see? He's unfunny on purpose. It's a satire :smug:"
[QUOTE=Sigma-Lambda;19884624]It's not satire. If it were satire, there would be some sort of element of mockery to it. [/QUOTE] yeah it's pretty much just part of the whole redneck-topia thing they've got going on
