This amazing clip of Asian people doing impressions of Christopher Walken was featured on last night’s “Tosh.0,” and you really need to get on your ass and start watching that show. Comedy Central could have run a test pattern for the other 21 minutes of content and this video alone would have made it worthwhile, but instead the episode was chockful o’ goodness, including a great Web Redemption of the Leave Britney Alone guy and a response to a black guy laying his cash out on a pool table with the title “Is This Racist?”
When I likened this show to “The Soup” but for the Internet, some people noted that “Web Soup” is like “The Soup” for the Internet. Fair point, but what I meant is that this show is GOOD. This is proof that instead of just running out a clip show with some already hired on-air talent, networks can invest some time and money in developing an idea and hiring an actual professional comedian to host. Crazy idea, I know. I’m crazy. Look at this crazy TV watcher, crazily wanting TV that’s good.

I’mma be internet famous this week if people keep talking about me not-by-name!
I think Chris Hardwick counts as a professional comedian too. I enjoy both shows (although seeing the same clips for the 4th or 5th time, they can lose lustre), but I do have to give the upper hand to Tosh.0 for doing more to make the format unique and engaging. That said, “Tosh.0″ is a really stupid name.
But Matt, if this strange desire for “Good TV,” as you call it, gains traction amongst the networks, then people like Jim Belushi and Kathy Griffen would starve to death. Could you live with that on you conscience? (I could.)
Let me offer an “amen.” My wife and I were in tears watching last week’s show. Holy fuck is it good.
It’s times like this I wonder how the world existed before the internet.
That’s weird. Too me, Asians are all doing impressions of each other.
There is no way that Otto Man is married. I do not believe these lies!
Tosh.0 is better, but Web Soup is funny too. I watched them back-to-back last night. Mine is a rich life.
Your sound intelligent fistfuloawesome
The first and second to last were the best.
I like Tosh.0, and I like Daniel Tosh, but I hate that fucking “soup” format. I hate the way the fad has spread across the airwaves.
Those asians are great, but what the hell is the chick trying to do?
I wonder if this is Asia’s way of paying back Walken for his role in Balls of Fury.
