The Stingray piece was actually not bad

I think some seriously overreacted leading up to it. It wasn't bad at all, actually pretty funny.

“The only thing smaller than that mustache is Saban a dick”

That **** bout made me spit my drink out.

I didn't see it

I hope I regret my post in the other thread. And I hope the segment was good. I'll gladly eat those words if that was the case.

I can see stingray politely munching on his 4 grilled wings, cleaning each tiny bone, pushing away from the table, and giving a big sigh saying "alright boys, I'm stuffed....see y'all later"

Stingray was a vehicle for Tosh to **** on Saban as much as possible.

Really took it easy on him. Lots of jokes about the south in general up front, but nothing unreasonable. He may be embarrassing on many levels, but he does seem like a genuinely nice guy.

I was actually really entertained by the segment. Not one Mississippi joke, but lots of shots at Alabama. I'll admit, I had reservations about the piece, but Tosh really went easy on Stingray. He seemed to actually like him.

I've been watching Tosh regularly since about the 3rd season, and was anxious/nervous to see this.
The intro south-bashing jokes were really funny. My wife kept looking at me, seeing if it was ok if she laughed at them (it was).
And he did take it easy for the most part. I thought he actually made us and Stingray likeable moreso than bashing us.
And yes, more bama jokes than anything, thankfully.
I also think it helped that he grew a beard and got rid of the mustache...

Tosh hates Saban. He is a Dolphins fan and always hated him. Tosh is completely full of **** and he knows it. He is superb at playing devils advocate. This week he bashed the south and college football but in prior weeks he was pimping his nephew as a recruit. One reason I love Tosh is he and Chappelle seem like the only two guys that can get away with joking about race. I think it's because Tosh doesn't play favorites, he'll make fun of any ethnicity, sex, sexual preference, hell even himself.

It had some actually funny jokes, Stingray behaved himself and they made fun of Alabama fans. He even plugged ringing responsibly. It was all around a pretty good bit.

Completely agree. In the land of people invited on Tosh, this was about as good as it could have turned out. Like or hate Stingray, he delivered a good message for MSU to a national audience.

Y'all must be desensitized by all his other videos. I thought it was pretty bad. He's made us look stupid and obnoxious for a couple of years now, but now we are racist as well? We need to be done with this guy.

I’m not sure I follow on the racist comment.

Also the joke where the bama fan asked if the cowbells were to help herd us into the stadium was hilarious.

"SEC stands for KKK" was the most obvious. But also "Heil State" and the comment about traditions dying in the south. Absolutely alluding to racism.

Lighten up, snowflake. Tosh isn't meant to be taken seriously. The whole segment was far less painful than it could have been.

LOL I wasn't saying I was offended. Just explaining to the ones whos missed the references. Nothing about Stingray should be taken seriously, of course. and Yes it could have been worse - it could always be worse. But it could easily have been better - if hadn't done it to begin with.

Yeah they had a flag with the old logo and the wrong color, and a several year old video of the stadium. But all in all, it could have been a lot worse.

Man, did you get up on the wrong side of the bed. From a public relations standpont, Publicity is Publicity and there was nothing wrong with that last last night. Tosh is Tosh. He could have burned us and Stingray lot worse than he did Bama, Saban, the SEC if he had wanted too. Are you one of these who believed that our administration, and/or athletic department knew nothing about that Tosh was going to be on our campus to do a segment on his show? lol You would fit in perfect on another website if you think that, but I won't call any names.

You got that right. Some totally freaked out. One even said it would hurt our funding at MSU for research projects. lol
I do believe that is the government who determines that and not Tosh, or Stingray.

Let's take a deep breath and stop taking everything so serious. This wasn't Fox News or MSNBC. It was Comedy Central. They were making fun of southern stereotypes.
