Tosh.0: Difference between revisions

* [[Ten-Minute Retirement]]: At one point Daniel decides to quit the show, and holds auditions for his replacement. [[Chris Rock]] ended up getting the gig and didn't even make it anywhere close to ten minutes before getting fed up, saying the show was stupid, and giving it back to Daniel.

* [[Acceptable Targets]]: Untwisted at the beginning of one episode:

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

* [[Ambiguous Gender]]: The so-called "gay writer" (a name given to the writer by Daniel in the skit where his writers were given the chance to throw a football at him to try to hit him) in season one and two; it didn't help that said writer frequently wore outfits that made the issue less than clear. The season three premier finally gave viewers a shot of him that made it clear he was a man in the "[http://www.comedycentral.com/tosh.0/2011/01/12/angry-birds-in-real-life/ Angry Birds In Real Life]" skit (his decision to wear a more typically masculine outfit certainly helped), and was also the episode where it was revealed that his name is "Nick", putting the matter to rest.

** "If it weren't for rape, [[Tori Amos]] would have nothing to sing about".

* [[Brick Joke]]: While talking about the fact that Ashton Kutcher has 2 million followers on [[Twitter]], Daniel theorizes that part of the reason Ashton has so many followers is that he showed a picture of Demi Moore in her "granny panties". Realizing the "exploiting Demi" is the key to getting followers, Daniel shows a near-naked photo of her (which the network had to censor completely), showing off her very robust pubic hair. A season later, Daniel does a segment in which he talks about "perfectly innocent" words and phrases that got bleeped because of their context, beginning with the phrase, "hair diaper".

* [[Call Back]]/[[Shout-Out]]: During the Web Redemption for Antoine Dodson, Daniel sets a rapist trap. Using himself as bait, he also brings along a bottle of pills, which he refers to as (in a German accent), [[The Human Centipede|"Rohyphnol -- rape drug."]]

** At the end of the second segment of the show he says "We'll be right back with more [canceled Comedy Central show]"

* [[Captain Obvious]]: Occasionally [[Played for Laughs]] by Daniel, such as when he showed a video of a walrus performing fellatio on himself as the woman filming it remarks, "What is he doing?" Daniel replies, "He's sucking his dick."

** Also once played for laughs by frequent fan contributer SallyTwoDicks, who was asked to come on the show and explain why she calls herself SallyTwoDicks. Her response?

* [[The Cast Showoff]]: Daniel Tosh is surprisingly athletic and will frequently demonstrate exactly what a daring individual was trying to accomplish with their stunt before [[Amusing Injuries]]. This includes a backflip with the Afro-Ninja Web Redemption and riding a bike off the back of a truck.

** He once jumped higher than the (black) Football Player Who Tackled His Own Teammate, saying "You know what else is nice? Putting stereotypes to rest."

* [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin]]: The "Guess What Happens Next", "Is He Retarded" and "Is it Racist?" segments, as well as most of the clips that play before the commercial breaks (see [[Running Gag]]).

* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: All of the puns Daniel made in regard to the unfortunate domain name of the week: hotelkuntz.com.

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

* [[Gone Horribly Right]]: Daniel noted that his Wikipedia page seems to be lacking, so he encouraged his fans to edit and add whatever they'd like. Soon after, [http://www.comedycentral.com/tosh.0/2010/02/03/your-wikipedia-entries/ the page was locked due to vandalism].

* [[Laser-Guided Karma]]: Invoked in a Web Redemption, when a video shows a man attempting to do a complicated slam dunk falling into a garbage can immediately after littering. In Daniel's words, "That would be some fast-acting karma."

* [[Let's Get Dangerous]]: In one Video Breakdown, as a guy and a girl are walking by, one of two bystanders winds up and backhands her across the face. The girl's boyfriend ''immediately'' starts beating the shit out of them.

* [[Life Imitates Art]]: In episode 10, after that episode's web redemptiom, Daniel did a montage of clips of people he would like to have come on the show for a web redemption (under the assumption that none of them would), including the reporter from [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W45DRy7M1no Boom Goes The Dynamite], A news reporter who [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8MNH7JuR7I swallowed a bug], and David of [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=txqiwrbYGrs David After Dentist] fame. David came on for a web redemption in the season 2 opener, while the reporters came on in Season 3.

* [[Major Injury Underreaction]]: "He's surprisingly calm for a guy who's [[Squick|skeleton is exposed]]."

* [[Mean Character, Nice Actor]]: If you're familiar with his show and comedic persona, it can be a little disorienting to read an interview with Daniel, where he generally comes off as a rather humble and very nice, even sweet, guy.

* [[Minor Injury Overreaction]]: After hitting another boy with a stick, a kid [[Laser-Guided Karma|got a skateboard thrown at him]]. It barely clips his leg, but he immediately falls to the ground, crying his eyes out.

** A lawyer in a courtroom taps a woman with a manilla folder, who instantly starts screaming for dear life, gets up, and then throws herself on the floor.

* [[Money, Dear Boy]]: Part of the reason [[Comedy Central]] kept the show going longer than it expected to was that it became very popular with males ages 18-34, a high sought-after advertising demographic.

** Before the first and second commercial break of each show, Daniel frequently shows a clip with a very brief introduction. The concise and frank nature of these introduction is itself a running gag; examples include "Is this guy dead?", "Look at this stupid old woman", "Here are some huge fake boobs", "Here's your [[Jerkass|dick]] of the week", "Does a bear shit in the woods?"<ref>It does.</ref>, "Here's a lot of shit," and [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|"What did you think was going to happen?"]]. Other frequenters of this part of the show include the Prank of the Week, the Flip of the Week, Rico's Black Clip of the Week, and Your Urban Dictionary Word of the Day.

** Before the third commercial break, rather than saying, "We'll be right back with more Tosh.0," Daniel says, "Well be right back with more [name of some canceled [[Comedy Central]] show]." This too has been lampshaded, twice.

We'll be right back with more [[Reno 911]]. *crowd groans* [[Too Soon]]? }}

** '''TRUST FALL!!'''

* [[Speed Run]]: After watching an actual [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic]] speedrun video, Daniel does a speedrun of his own show - essentially, walking on stage, showing [[Vomit Indiscretion Shot|vomit indiscretion]], and ending.

* [[Stealth Insult]] -- When his [[Ambiguously Gay|sexuality]] is called into question ([[Running Gag|yet again]]):

* [[Straw Misogynist]]: Daniel, [[Played for Laughs]].

* [[Subliminal Seduction]]: Before the Web Redemption of the 'Worst Metal Band Ever', Daniel pointed out this trope by saying Satan didn't hide messages in the songs for [the viewer]. He then gives a [[Hypocritical Humor|demonstration]] of this trope in action. {{spoiler|The message says, and I quote, "So if you're wasting your time deciphering those stupid fucking lyrics, by all means, please kill yourself. Love, Your almighty leader, Daniel."}}

* [[Survival Mantra]]: Janey, the girl who wiped out attempting to do the ''[[Risky Business]]'' slide, was very cute but Tosh had this to say after her web redemption, "She's ''[[Jail Bait|sixteen]]''! I was saying that the entire time we were filming that segment."

* [[Took a Level In Badass]]: Daniel's approach to the Web Redmeptions frequently amounts to showing the person doing the same thing, but making them look cooler while doing it. Tron Guy and the Lightning Bolt LARPer are particularly good examples of this.

* [[Too Soon]]: Lampshaded during a video breakdown.

** After seeing a guy get run over by a car:

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

* [[Villainous Crossdresser]]: The guy from the "Things You Shouldn't Run Into a Room and Yell" [http://www.comedycentral.com/videos/index.jhtml?videoId=358616&title=things-you-should-never-run viewer response video] who walks into a room in a dress and says, {{spoiler|"Let's not turn this rape into a murder."}}

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