I'm rooting for this one... by Chuck_Schick	Mar 23rd, 2007 02:29:17 AM
I've been a long-time watcher of Channel 101 (it doesn't get much better than Yacht Rock) and have even watched its New York spin-off Channel 102 a few times. It's a great concept that I think could definitely catch on. I'll be pulling for the show to succeed.
holy crap! by Chuck_Schick	Mar 23rd, 2007 02:42:30 AM
I just went to VH1.com and looked at the other "shows" that they have in their lineup (besides Acceptable TV). My God! Dice, Hogan, Gene Simmons, I Love New York, something about white rappers...how in the hell is this channel thriving? They have Bonaduce too right? What a steaming pile of crappy TV. Dan & Rob, let's only hope that the droves of people who must be tuning in to the Surrreal Life and Flavor Flav spin-offs watch you guys as well. That's a tall order, I know. Even better, let's hope you have a great first season with enough acclaim that you can move to a different channel! Bump Mencia off of Comedy Central...or jump into Adult Swim. Good luck.

and scene
yawn by iamnicksaicnsn	Mar 23rd, 2007 05:52:09 AM
Sorry, that was a load of horse shit. I loved Heat Vision and Jack, but this was just fucking awful. Those guys have no idea how to fucking act or write. Also that Ampd Mobile shit was lame as hell, how could they not even crack one joke about it? Are they that held by the balls by that sponsor?
I accept by Thighmaster	Mar 23rd, 2007 08:35:56 AM
I'm excited about this show. There are some incredibly funny and talented people working at channel 101.
The program guide has it on at 10:30 central time by Lance Rock	Mar 23rd, 2007 09:02:44 AM

Sounds fun... by purplemonkeydw	Mar 23rd, 2007 10:25:52 AM
and hey, don't forget 'The State'! I wanna dip my balls in it! Man, I loved that show soooo much, I wanted to take it behind the school and get it pregnant.
What does this have to do with The State? by FrixFrixFrix	Mar 23rd, 2007 11:09:26 AM
like it says
When... by PwnedByStallone	Mar 23rd, 2007 12:07:48 PM
is thta movie coming out with Jack Black where they have to replace all classic videos wit htheir own reenactments?? That shit just may be funnier than Borat?
BTW by PwnedByStallone	Mar 23rd, 2007 12:13:00 PM
There's not enough love for Monster House on this site. That movie was hilarious in a Goonie type of way. Fucking loved it. Had heart too. I haven't seen Sars or Atheist Feet yet but the ycan't be as good.
The joke chasers was great! by Talkbacker with no name	Mar 23rd, 2007 01:54:52 PM
haha very good stuff. Will it be on vh1 UK?
frixes by purplemonkeydw	Mar 23rd, 2007 01:58:05 PM
just saying it was a fantastic sketch comedy show...why are you trying to make me cry?
channel 101 by blackhole4140	Mar 23rd, 2007 02:06:01 PM
Nothing beats "shitbusters". Falconer is great. A real, grass roots sketch comedy show that we have some degree of control over. I'll be watching.

Quit horsing around and get back to doing SCUD: THE DISPOSABLE ASSASSIN!
To fart or not to fart... by Thighmaster	Mar 23rd, 2007 04:38:02 PM
Just wanted to say to, there is a definitive difference between a pedestrian low brow "fart joke" (ie:Shrek) and a well written intelligent twist on a fart joke (ie: Who Farted, from ATV). Dismissing something because you're not adept enough to recognize the difference makes me sad for you.
Will someone TURN OFF THAT MUSIC!!!?!?!?!? by Pennsy	Mar 23rd, 2007 07:47:47 PM
Goddamn, I can't wait for Sunday night's BSG finale. Just hand over the Emmy store to this show, and Michael Hogan's Col. Tigh.
The State by FrixFrixFrix	Mar 24th, 2007 02:13:28 AM
just wait til MTV comes to its senses and pays the music rights to release the whole series on dvd. yeah, that'll never happen, but it'd be nice
Awesometown by FrixFrixFrix	Mar 24th, 2007 02:14:59 AM
check out Awesometown. The Lonely Island's (Andy Samberg from SNL) pilot for fox. http://www.thelonelyisland.com /awesometown/
Homeless James Bond rules!!! by SPECTRE Agent	Mar 24th, 2007 09:33:55 AM
Someone make that a series. And Anna Mensia was funny too. "Next week: an energy monster attacks! Go get him Anna!"
Talented yet asshole-y guys by ico-jones	Mar 24th, 2007 09:35:11 AM
Is it me or do both of those seem like SNL sketches that are humorous the first time, but never again? Was a big fan of channel 101 until the guys behind it showed themselves to be completely arrogant jackasses. Try to spend 5 minutes on the self-congratulatory message board without vomiting. Try to give honest feedback that is slightly critical. NOt allowed. The only message board I have seen in 13 years online where the mods feel free to alter people's posts at will. That being said, Yacht Rock was a classic.
If you don't vote for the Teensies... by CZ	Mar 24th, 2007 03:04:12 PM

Rob Schrab is currently working on a new issue of SCUD. He's been spending the last few weeks on it and is on page 42. He's got some vlogs about it on robschrab.com
channel 101 by nicatron	Mar 24th, 2007 08:45:47 PM
all this is is a lame www.channell01.com ripoff at least channel101 was user created i will say i laughed at the homeless james bond skit but was totally turned off by the fact it was a ripoff
101 revisited by Mechakong!	Mar 24th, 2007 08:55:33 PM
I wouldn't say it's a ripoff of Channel 101, more like a rebranding. Many of the most popular creators of Channel 101 are working on this, and they still have a "user created" slot, which this week was the bit called "Anna Manesia". I liked half the skits, and have hopes this show will really improve given time and tlc.
Mr. Sprinkles was the only funny one by PervOmatic	Mar 24th, 2007 09:55:08 PM
The rest were boring and just plain unfunny. I tried to register for the site to vote but I kept getting error messages. What a huge letdown all the way around...it better get funny real damn quick or it will canned quicked than you can say "Jack Black Is Over-exposed".
I don't think this show is working. by blackmantis	Mar 24th, 2007 11:49:56 PM
I've followed Channel 101 for a while, and somehow this doesn't feel right. I don't know if it's the more polished production value, or if network censorship has neutered the rawness of 101, but I just don't find myself laughing all that much. Nothing on the first episode even approaches 101 shows Laser Fart or House of Cosbys. Hell, I didn't even see anything better than Ultra Force. I don't think this show is going to attract much of an audience beyond the hard core 101'ers.
Pretty Good by Thighmaster	Mar 26th, 2007 09:29:16 AM
I thought the shows were cute, not great. I actually like the ones they shot that are up on their Yu Tube page better. Prison Prison Break is genius. The host segments suffer from the "We think we're funny, so us just saying stuff on the coach is funny" problem. I think once they hit their stride this could be better than SNL. Just prepare a little better for the glue segments and you'll have a great show instead of an ameturish feeling show.

I don't know; I loved "Yacht Rock..." by AnnoyYou	Mar 27th, 2007 01:12:56 AM
...and while this feels somewhat similar, it also feels more wanky. Yacht Rock was pure, man -- pure, inspired, cheesy insanity. Unfortunately I couldn't get past the teeny people vid, and the only reason I watched that is because Reznar, YR's "Michael McDonald," was in it. I guess I've been spoiled by 101's greatest creation. This just doesn't do it for me.
