Quin Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Ok, who else watched this? It just...was not funny. Unlike the The Daily Show...they make up too much to be funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 I thought it was OK, but thought it would get old. The whole person who needs to die section or whatever was waay overdone. I wasn't offended (though I could see some who would be), it just seemed over the top and not funny. Not sure it'll make it past 1 season, but it was worth a shot. I just don't know if Onion stuff really translates to live production well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 I echo those sentiments...also, I thought a lot of things the Onion tries to joke about won't get picked up on by the more casual sports fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vote4Pedro Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 i thought it was pretty decent, not great but definately something to watch to pass the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quin Posted January 15, 2011 Author Share Posted January 15, 2011 It needs to cover things like this: http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/mon-march-29-2010/snowball Let the comedy write itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 I thought it was pretty awesome. Obviously not going to be as "smart" as Daily Show and Colbert Report, but I really enjoyed it. Only thing I found not funny was the retired NFL stars escaping. That was a little overdone, but the NBA rule changes, Shaq having heart attack, Meth olympics, Pujols keys to city, and everything else was really funny in my opinion. Maybe I'm the only one, but I've been a huge fan of The Onion and their website for years now. Their most recent "strong side/weak side" on Cam Newton was amazing. http://www.onionsportsnetwork.com/articles/cam-newton,18754/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm just not sure it works in a TV format. Shaq heart attack was funny, NBA rule change to, but after that it was 'meh'. Maybe be like the SportsPickle/Page2. Highlight hilarious athlete tweets and just ludicrous stories in general. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 The segment about the girl with cancer is probably going to offend many. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that was hilarious. The Road to 32 to great too. The Toad segment was really awful though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigSqwert Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 The cancer girl was the only one I really enjoyed. The Brady one was decent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
