Penn & Teller are hardcore libertarians and do a nice job roasting the Left in alot of episodes. However their obnoxious brand of atheism is tiresome. Their show also features alot of needless profanity and other “shock value” crap that detracts from their points and instances of true wit. I wish they had more confidence in the ability of a clever argument to entertain. Penn in particular seems to think constant cursing is the height of rebelliousness but it just makes him sound like a 12 year old. I remember they had a good show on the organic food scam that was ruined by their unfunny banter.
Agreed. The show is often very good, but Penn insists on cheapening it with pointless, adolescent profanity and gratuitous T&A for no good reason. That's why I don't watch it much anymore. It's not offensive. It's just lame.
