Tosh.0: Difference between revisions

[[File:tosh0-show_5917.jpg|frame|"We are so much more than a clip show."]]

 

 

The first part consists of Daniel showing a string of videos (and occasionally images) found on the internet with humorous commentary about each one. Usually he'll pick one picture or video from the bunch and "put 20 seconds on the clock"<ref>Though, as Daniel himself has pointed out, the time is usually nowhere near 20 seconds. "It ends when I'm out of jokes."</ref> and see how many funny comments he can make in that time. Daniel ends the segment by looking at the last clip more closely in the "Video Breakdown", where he pauses the clip while showing it and shows parts in slow motion to dissect it and give himself time to make more quips.

 

For each season, they usually air half during the winter/spring, take a few weeks off, then air the other half during the summer/fall.

'''Daniel''' (chanting): We love chicks with dicks! }}

* [[Ambiguously Gay]]: Daniel himself, though it is by his own doing. Lampshaded when, after filming a skit with Tommy Lee in which Daniel wore a bra, Daniel showed an e-mail he received from Lee's assistant, asking, "With all due respect, Tommy would like to know, is Daniel gay or straight?" Daniel replied, "With all due respect, Tommy Lee, I prefer to keep it a mystery; I don't want to be [[Typecasting|type-cast]] as a "straight"." Later in the episode, he danced in a rather suggestive way during the web remix of "What What in the Butt" with duct tape over his mouth and "NO H8" written on his cheek, eventually dancing ''quite'' close to [[Camp Gay|Samwell]] at the end of the song. After the segment was over, he said, "There's your answer, Tommy Lee."

* [[Aside Glance]]: Daniel has a distinctive look he gives the camera any time he makes a joke that he knows is a bit too nonsensical or unbelievable compared to the rest of his humor, such as the above mentioned joke about being type-cast as a "straight".

* [[The Atoner]]: The premise behind the Web Redemption segment. If they simply did something embarrassing, the show will usually show them doing it again, [[Took a Level in Badass|but make it look cooler]] (such as the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_ekugPKqFw Lightning Bolt LARPer], whose redemption was a choreographed fight sequence that ended with him [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|shooting CGI lightning out of his arms]]).

* [[Don't Try This At Home]]: Frequently played with, but usually averted; Daniel frequently encourages viewers to send in videos of themselves doing things he does during the show.

** Exaggerated when Daniel plays "Guess What Happens Next" with a video of an Asian kid who {{spoiler|lights his crotch on fire}}; he spends about a minute driving home the point that viewer should not try this at home.

** Subverted in the episode where he makes a human chain with a bunch of other people and has one end tazed. He shows clips of people around the office practicing with an electric fence wire on "Goat" strength, then remarked that nobody wanted to try "Bear" strength. He then tells the audience to not send him videos of them grabbing electric fence wires... unless its at "Bear" strength.

* [[Double Standard Rape (Male on Male)]]: Antoine Dodson's web redemption involved building an [[Acme Products|Acme Rapist Trap]] and using Daniel (in pink hotpants) as bait. The rapist they caught? [[Ripped from the Headlines|Ben Roethlisberger]].

** The season 3 premire. One of the promos for it had Tosh ''out right declaring'' it was messed up.

* [[A Good Name for a Rock Band]]: "'Dick Vomit' is not good live. [[[Beat]]] [[Sincerity Mode|That's their name!]] It's 'Dick Vomit'."

* [[Groin Attack]]: Frequently seen on the show. Inverted with the "Game Ovaries" segment, in which Daniel hoped to "introduce a new genre of video to the internet", i.e. the female groin attack.

** Season 3 now has a disclaimer at the beginning of the episode.

* [[Overly Long Gag]]: "If you never heard of the double-jump, it's the trampoline version of "the Speedball." If you've never heard of the Speedball, it's what killed [[John Belushi]]. If you've never heard of John Belushi, he's the brother of Jim Belushi. If you've never heard of Jim Belushi, he's the star of ''[[According to Jim]].'' If you've never heard of ''According to Jim''... [[Take That|good for you!]]"

** This was also used in a segment in a season 2 episode in which Daniel said goodbye to casual jackets by singing, "It's so hard--", cutting it off there and saying, "That's as far as I can go before I have to cut a check to Boyz II Men."

* [[Rapid-Fire Comedy]]: The show's signature style, especially during the first part of the show. Exemplified by the "20 Seconds on the Clock" segment.

*** When yet another kid nearly kills himself on a skateboard:

* [[Vomit Indiscretion Shot]]: Puke is practically a supporting cast member.

* [[Zettai Ryouiki]]: Daniel sports thigh-high socks and short-shorts when interviewing the guy from Evolution Of Dance.
