What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this show -- in which comedian Daniel Tosh comments on the latest wacky online content, including must-see viral videos and I-can't-believe-they-actually-did-that clips -- is targeted at older teens and college students. Overall, the material is too edgy for younger viewers: Some of the videos have racy content, and others show wild and painful-looking accidents. Tosh's comedy style is a bit abrasive, and he makes of everything and everyone -- including himself. Expect some salty language as well.
What's the story?
Comedian Daniel Tosh scours the Web for the latest viral videos -- the clips of random people doing random things that suddenly become global, must-see footage. We're talking about the clips that tease a laugh out of even the most jaded Web surfer and prompt even the busiest workers to forward a link to their friends labeled "You HAVE to watch this!!" But on TOSH.0, Tosh just doesn't just watch -- he critiques, he judges, he mocks, and he tells some really funny jokes, usually at the participants' expense.
Is it any good?
Standing next to a large video screen dissecting the action and providing humorous commentary, Tosh seems equal parts nightly news anchor examining the not-so important events of the day, and Weekend Update host, making sure the viewer understands that humanity's lowest common denominator is the ridiculous, the scatological, and the accidental punch to the groin.
The footage ranges from inane to crass, racy to grotesque, but much of it is so odd that it's hard to look away. And Tosh's comments make the whole experience more entertaining. Because, really, who doesn't like to watch cute animals doing silly things and drunk college kids putting their expensive education to work devising exceptionally clever practical jokes? It's lowbrow humor, but it works.
What families can talk about
Families can talk about media phenomenons. Why do some video clips suddenly explode into worldwide, must-see events? What types of videos hold universal appeal? How do you think the sudden fame affects the participants? Do you think they enjoy it, or it is somewhat humiliating? Do you think that some people court this kind of negative attention? Would you want any of your private moments to be viewed -- and probably mocked -- worldwide?

Tosh.0
Really funny show. I was skeptical at first because the commercials didn't seem all that great. But I saw an episode, and couldnt stop laughing. Some people might find the videos shown on the show inappropriate, but nothing todays youth cant handle.

I love watching this with my dad! We never stop laughing!
Hilarious beyond belief! That is the sentence that describes this show. At times his language and the sexual talk gets a little iffy for the younger ears, but Daniel Tosh is the comedic genius of his generation. He can take anything and turn it into a joke that will have you rolling on the floor laughing until you pee your pants. I watch this with my dad all the time, and we both laugh SO hard. Comments? Questions? Concerns? Email me: ogormanscommonsense at yahoo. :)

Tosh.0 is exactly what most teens/adults want to watch. It goes with the modern audience rather than old episodes of Americas Funniest Videos where everything is outdated and the jokes are corny. Of course, there is some language and some sexual humor but that is what most teens watch tv for and they can relate to it since they see most of it in thier schools.

Late night frat house humor.
If you want your kids mind focused on humanity's lowest common denominator this is the show. Why, though, when there are so many more intelligent options? Watch the first few minutes and make your own judgement.

My favorite show by far
Veryyy funny. This show is one of the dirtiest on air up there with the notorious jersey shore and skins which is too raunchy for even me to watch. Daniel has so much gross, racist, sexest, naked, stupid stuff that children would be soiled for life. He sometimes even gets away with saying pus*y because he refers to a cat but that will still effect a young kid in a very negative way. 15 and up if not 17 and up.

Barf Jokes and innuendo mar this web Comedy.Teens and Up
Parents need to know that Tosh.0 is a blend of Web Videos,a green screen,a large TV and edgy jokes.It's the kind of stuff teens and College Students will wanna see.But some of content here is too edgy for young teens.There's plenty of sexual innuendo,strong language(though the strongest words are bleeped.),gross-out images,name-dropping,and some mentions of drugs.Most teens will have to be mature enough to understand the humor.
Messages:Negative 3/5 This show is all about making fun of people.
Role Models:Negative 3/5 Daniel Tosh makes fun of alot of things and people,he may be funny,but he's no role model.
Violence:1/5 Occasional videos see people falling down.
Sex:3/5 No sex or nudity,but there's frequent sexual innuendo heard from Daniel Tosh,some mentions of pornography.
Language:3/5 Plenty of swearing,although "f**k" "S**t" and anything stronger is bleeped,Words like "d**k", "a**", "H*ll",and "Crap" are often heard,we also hear sexual terms such as "rape".
Consumerism:2/5 Plenty of Name-Dropping
Drinking,Drugs,and Smoking:2/5 Some mentions of drugs.
Is it any Good:It's not for all viewers,but TOSH.0 has a simple premise and thankfully it has great results,the jokes and videos are laugh out loud funny(ranging from a nut shot or person hit by a car,to an elephant eating elephant poop right out of a elephants butt or a woman in an airplane puking then having all the puke all over her.),and Tosh's bits that go along with it make things even funnier,who doesn't want to see a cute kitten video then hear a load of jokes after something happens to the kitten.
Like before it's not for all viewers,as it's targeted to a younger audience,some of videos will make you cringe and cover your eyes.But that's the point,as Tosh.0 is Edgy and uneven,but it somehow works.
TV Rating:TV-14 DL
