Clip shows are my addiction. I enjoy watching other people react to something I’ve already seen. I crave their witty comments, humorous recaps, and personal (preferably relevant) anecdotes. And by meeting these simple criteria, Daniel Tosh’s Tosh.0 on Comedy Central has been added to my ever-growing, ever-changing “must DVR" list.

Tosh.0 is what Web Soup (the spin-off of The Soup) should be: funny. Like the beloved Joel McHale, Tosh doesn’t rely on the videos to provide all of the humor, but instead continuously breathes new life into them by saying the things that the politically incorrect part of your brain is already thinking.

In addition to colorful and sometimes sexist, racist, and completely ridiculous commentary, Tosh has segments entitled "Is it Racist?," "Video Breakdown," “20 Seconds,” and my personal favorite "Web Redemption." Remember “David After Dentist,” the video of an adorable kid who was so zonked out from anesthesia that he spent several minutes pondering the meaning of “real life” and his fingers? Well in his web redemption, David was given the opportunity to pay back his dad for videotaping the whole ordeal in an example of less than stellar parenting.

Luckily, not everything on the show is a viral clip. Tosh's sketches, including the “Trust Fall” segments, are pretty hilarious. Daniel Tosh has provided me with more than a few laughs, which in this world of insincere LOLs, I find important.

Tosh.0 airs on Wednesdays and is currently in its second season on Comedy Central.
