| The Man Show | comment |
The Man Show was a half-hour program on Comedy Central starring Adam Carolla and Jimmy Kimmel (followed by Joe Rogan and Doug Stanhope in the final season) that centered around jokes about...well, "manly" stuff. Sports, beer, babes...that sort of thing. Aside from giving Jimmy Kimmel an extra paycheck (he still did a little work on Win Ben Stein's Money when the show first aired), The Man Show was notable for its eye candy-laden "Juggy Dance Squad", who would provide entertainment for the audience during commercial breaks. And the whole "jumping on trampolines" bit at the end of every show.Lasted for five seasons. The first four seasons featured Adam and Jimmy, and all four of them are available on DVD at the Comedy Central store. The fifth and final season featuring Doug and Joe, widely regarded as being inferior to the previous seasons, has not been released on DVD. | |

Fat Flex: In the beach episode, Jimmy shows his son how to properly suck in his stomach when a girl walks past (note this was back when he was much heavier). | |

Artistic License – Biology | |
| The Man Show / int_18aff462 | comment |
Artistic License – Biology: In a bit about vasectomies one of the characters comments that it's important to him to see a puddle of semen after masturbation. It isn't entirely clear if the characters being unfamiliar with their own anatomy is part of the joke, or if the hosts legitimately thought that a vasectomy would stop them from ejaculating semen, but semen is produced in the prostate, not the testicles. While their semen would no longer be fertile, it would still be ejaculatednote A vasectomy removes part of the tubes that connect the testicles to the urethra, and the cut is done within the scrotum, very close to the actual "ball". | |

Stripperiffic: The Juggy dance squad. Every episode had a different "theme" that would be reflected in their always-skimpy costumes. One episode might have them dressed in sexy schoolgirl outfits, another episode might have them dressed in cheerleader costumes, another might have them dressed as sexy nurses, etc. | |

Testosterone Poisoning | |
| The Man Show / int_371b253a | comment |
Testosterone Poisoning: Adam and Jimmy always played things tongue-in-cheek, which is what made the show work in the first place (because let's face it, guys: if we just want to see boobs, there are plenty of ways to do that). Their replacements did not share this talent for satire. One man got a swirley by Lou Ferrigno himself by landing on a bad portion of THE WHEEL OF DESTINY. | |

Prison Rape: Happens to Adam by a big burly prisoner when he (ironically) got arrested for trying to sexually harass two women at a restaurant. Adam gets released 50 years later as an old man, and a blonde girl starts offering sex in front of him then he runs towards her... and runs past her to go for an elderly fat black man on the bench. | |

Vox Pops: One of their more infamous segments was this where they were asking people to sign a petition to "End Women's Suffrage" which, due to people assuming that "suffrage" meant suffering as opposed to the right to vote, even a number of women signed it after being given oblique answers on what the petition was for. | |

Thong of Shielding: One episode featured Adam and Jimmy saying that the Comedy Central censors had told them they could show up to three-quarters of someone's backside.

Abusive Parents: Jimmy is this to his son Kevin. At one point Kevin got revenge on his dad by telling his mom about his dad having affairs with many other women in New Orleans. He also uses his pre-adolescent daughter as a human shield to get past the feminist picket line besieging the studio on "Bring Your Daughter To Work Day" but is then appalled when she joins the Juggies bouncing on their trampoline. | |

Therefore, Jimmy concludes the economic system rewards stupidity! | |

Crosses into Viewers Are Morons since most signers just assumed it was bad without any prodding simply because "Suffrage" sounds like "suffering", and the guys saying that it's a bad thing. | |
