Penn & Teller: Bullshit

[Jman1236]

I don't by into the episodes where they deal with the Bible and religon since I'm a christian and beleve in them. They even said in the show, that if your a true belever, they can't touch you.

They do a great show anyway, I couldn't beleve some of the stuff they dug up like with Recycling and the Boy Scouts.

As entertainment: Great

As serious, unbiased discussion: Fail

Much like everything ever made by Micheal Moore.

The funny thing is, they have actually implied a number of times that they don't like Micheal Moore and there show is not like that of his.

The only difference I can see is that P&T go after interviews they can get.

Yes it's a funny show but I tend to take it about as seriously as the conspiracies/trends they're trying to debunk.
Sometimes they tell the truth and sometimes they tell A truth.

The boyscouts episode is great, as is the nuclear power episode. Also checking out conspiracy theory episode is a good idea.

I love that show. They are pretty biased, but they do make good points every now and then. Of course, the best episodes are the ones that don't need to be backed up because their targets are so unbelievably crazy, like the people who believe dolphins have mystical powers.

They do get people thinking, and I like that.

that's the whole point is to get you to think about things

I don't by into the episodes where they deal with the Bible and religon since I'm a christian and beleve in them. They even said in the show, that if your a true belever, they can't touch you.

except most of the stuff they said in the show were taken from the bible, which was rather funny. there's a lot in the bible that people like to misrepresent and misquote and frankly just make up

I just started watching some of the episodes on youtube because of this thread. I love every second of it.

I like them. I don't always agree w/ what they say, but they're entertaining and usually make a good amount of sense.

I do enjoy the show very much, although I don't always agree with what their views are, it's fun to watch Penn tear them apart and for Teller to scream MOTHERF***** after Penn abuses him.

One of my favourite episodes was about video games and at the end they got a child to fire a rifle with live round

Actually that episode's pretty recent I believe, one of the first of this season, unless I'm very much mistaken. It was pretty sad though, I was wondering why Penn kept preempting all the clips of the kid with the gun by saying "remember, this wasn't our idea" and then at the end it all came out in the coda.

I just watched the episode on videogames. It was good. In fact, one person they interviewed (who was heavily against FPS games) was a self-professed gun lover that owned and used "all the super big and crazy guns FPS fans go nuts for".
