Yeah... this show is a little much, would be a better fit for Spike TV, G4, MTV, or some other low brow network. The idea is alright I guess, however wasteful, gluttonous, and *ahem* American (I'm American before people get their panties in a bunch (is anyone even on this board and reading this anyway though? :b))... but the guys in it really come off like a bunch of wannabe fratboy dicks. A fitting choice given the content of the show, but they aren't funny or entertaining while they're acting the way they do, and that's the real problem. I wouldn't call this quality programming.

They're actually based in Canada but I do agree that it seems like a weird "show" to put on here. I've seen it before on Youtube but it makes sense to be there.

Get off your high horse. This show is way better than the crap TRS is shoveling these days.

"Stop disliking what I like", etc.

Anyway, my bad, should have bothered to find out on my own that they're actuall from Canada, this kind of makes it worse in my eyes however, as they're then emulating one of the worst aspects of young American male stereotypes. Again though, this is not such a bad thing as long as it's funny or entertaining and I'm sorry but these guys just aren't, to me at least. Opinions, deal with them.

I'm not saying every rev3 show should cater to (pseudo?) intellectuals, I'm saying a little more effort could be put into presentation instead of "YELLING, FOOD, YELLING, FOOD, BITCHES, INSULTS, FOOD, THE END BITCH!"

I like the show. The excessiveness (and unhealthy fascination with bacon) makes it very entertaining. The inclusion of epic soundtracks to what is basically a cooking show, is also hilarious. That the host remains deadpan the whole time really adds to the appeal.

As of this writing I have actually yet to watch an episode on Rev3 (only found out Rev3 picked them up a few minutes ago) so I'm not sure how they are going to handle the ads. I can't imagine the hosts speaking about the ads in the same way that we see on TRS, or Tekzilla.

I am not dissapoint <sic> with Rev3.
I am disappointed with the education system.
