ran into 1 of their shoots in battery park nyc…keeping an eye on whats up with them.. hope it gets going.. good luck peoples !
I absolutely cannot stand the phony cackling that goes on throughout the entire show.I was in another room, Not even watching the show, And I had to come out and change the channel because that man`s nonstop fake hysterical laugh was getting on my nerves.He sounds worse than a herd of chickens and he never comes up for air.I tried to watch the show once and I could`nt because that stupid laughter was so distracting. I did see enough of it to know that If you`re over the age of 11 or 12 and find this show funny, Something is wrong with you, seriously.
S cross must be something seriously wrong with me. I am almost 40 and laugh my butt off at that show.
Sorry, I probably laugh at things that most people find stupid.But even in a REALLY funny show, That self serving forced laughter would drive me away.
