what's the name of that TV show with the 6 comics that he's in? you know, the one where they simply go around doing stuff while being goofballs - and their logo is some possessed sheep?


There is something about that show that forces me to watch it. I barely speak Korean, yet I see 6 Korean men in wigs participating in some inane challenge and my brain thinks, "I MUST watch this show!!" I am a shame to my family.


a few nights ago they had a rerun of it on -- with Thierry Henry! Shocked

and it's on MBC Drama. what the *beep* is 'drama' about it?

I don't go out of my way to watch the show but if I happen to catch it while I'm in a restaurant or somewhere, I think it's pretty funny. That episode with the guys running through the rice field in the rain with the kettles on their head made me laugh my ass off.

That was pretty funny (albeit unintentionally), the Korean guys were kicking a ball around and shouting Konglish at Henry who was grinning and doing his best to appear polite, but you could tell he was thinking "I am sooo going to need a few stiff drinks after getting through this shoot".

Uhuh...that one was pretty damn funny.

I hate blondie though....he really sets my teeth on edge. He's over the top like WAY OVER...It's too much for me. He's like the Korean extra unfunny version of Robin Williams...

I don't watch the show religiously, just flip channels and if the guest is okay I'll sit through it for a few mos. The Henry episode was hilarious (not the way they think it was, though). Also the episodes with Sharipova and the Japanese Women wrestlers (LLPW) were good. Again, not for the reasons the show producers thought so. Just watching the guests try to get throught the show politely when through their forced smiles they'd rather be calling them buffoons, then decking their agents for getting them into this mess. Gold I tell ya.

Scene I want to see: 50 Cent is the guest and he caps the blond guy. Hilarity ensues.

i was actually surprised by how funny Henry was. sexy, funny, and a great footie player! he told them he was going to get them all tickets to an Arsenal game if they made it to London. but i think he probably also had restraining orders put out on the lot of them as soon as he got back to the UK. (it was a re-run, so he was at Arsenal and married at the time. did you know when he left England he also served his wife divorce papers?)

That episode is pretty funny. I didn't know about that with Henry...what a scamp...

The episode with Tiger Woods was probably my favorite. He was surprisingly nice about the whole madness. He was sort of snotty at certain points and I was loving it!

Dr. No is pretty funny. But you must understand what he's saying. No English speaker would find Kramer funny. At least I hope not.

Why watch TV in Korea? My TV has been unplugged since the end of the World Cup. And I haven't paid my cable bill in like six or seven months. It's more interesting to watch the amount of my cable bill accumulate than watching TV in Korea.

I'm almost ashamed to admit it, but he's grown on me. The main dude is the funniest by far.

I started liking that show all thanks to one skit. (would you call them skits?)
They had a race between a guy riding an ostrich and a guy carrying an ostrich on his back in this special ostrich harness/saddle. I'm sure the ostrich was drugged since it sat there so calm during the race. It sounds stupid and it was. But sometimes stupid is funny.

I understand what he's saying. I still find him loud, annoying, and obnoxious. He says nothing in a normal voice; everything must be screamed and accompanied by wild arm gestures. He is the epitome of unfunny.
