Is BattleBots Worth a bucket of warm Spit?

[Death Metal Moe]

Does ANYONE actually WATCH this Abomination of a show?? I thought I knew True Evil UNTIL I dared to Stare into the BLACK FACE of ROBOTS FIGHTING ON MY TV!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAARRRGHH!!!!!!

Now that I've made my vague opinion known to you, the lucky masses, I'm just wondering if ANYONE actually watches this show, and furthermore, ENJOYS it.

APPRECIATE THIS!!!

I used to watch it, but after season two, the show lost its edge. Now it blows and isn't worth a bucket of warm spit. Its terrible, and they hired Carmen Electra to bring back falling ratings.

Thank you! I've been saying that since season one. Sci-Fi I'd understand.

I liked the show the first season, but it got old quick.

What pisses me off the most is that it replaced Upright Citizens Brigade, which was brilliant.

It would be better if:

A) They were robots and not remote control cars with metal armor
B) Were subjected to far more irreversible damage than they are.

Otherwise, there's no reason to watch it for more than 10 minutes, and only if you need something on while you masturbate to internet porn.

I do like how Jon Stewart constantly bashes it, though.

furie, UCB was damn funny, but brilliant? I doubt you'll hear many witty quips about ass-pennies at any upper-class cocktail parties anytime soon :)

UCB was replaced by "The League of Gentlemen", which I, personally, thought was very funny. But it did dismally ratings-wise compared to UCB.

However, UCB was <i>beyond</i> brilliant, and anyone who says otherwise must not know comedy.

you're assuming that people at upper-class cocktail parties are in themselves brilliant. That's a big assumption.

Pootytooty, there is no doubt that you know funny, but you're way off base here. UCB was so abismally unfunny. It reeked of trying too hard to get a laugh. League of Gentlemen? Hilarious, 'This is a local shop'. As for BattleBots. I love it, TiVo it, and get emotionally involved in the matches. My favorites are Toro and any spinning bot that shreds its opponents.
