Is it just me or is "Krod Mandoon" fucking rubbish?
I keep catching this show on Comedy Central after Colbert. The writing, acting, editing, score - everything - painfully misfires. It's mind-bogglingly bad. Has anyone else seen this monumental piece of excrement? Or am I missing something?

1. The name of it says it all. Translated, it says "Don't watch me"

2. You are too kind
fucking rubbish doesn't even come close to describing this putrid pile of horse dung.

Even flies won't settle on this one

3. My theory on Krod Mandoon is that they are trying to make it so bad
that it gets a cult following. I watched about five minutes a week ago. That
was enough to last me a lifetime.

6. "Rubbish" is the ideal descriptive term.
Absolute rubbish.

7. I turned the channel after seeing the one-eyed troglodyte, or whatever it is.
Is there really an audience for this crap?

9. It's what Amurika loves!
Crappy, obnoxious, bad entertainment.

The more ridiculous the better. Otherwise, Dancing w/the Stars, Great Race, Amurakin Idle, (just to name a few) would never have made it.

Do note that there is a lot of glitz & flesh born in "Krud ManDoon". Proven winners for those chasing shiny things. LOL

10. I actually rather like it
It's terrible in every conceivable way, I admit, but every so often a character will deliver a really funny line. Usually Gondalor.

My favorite so far,

"Oh Joy! My pagan goat pants!"

Again, agreed it's a terrible show, but it does make me laugh on occasion.

The "Bi-Clopse" from the last episode was pretty funny too.

12. Actually, I kind of enjoy it, but then
I find a lot of silliness funny. It has its moments. I thought the scene with the metrosexual Cyclops in a silk robe inviting them to have cocktails with him in his hot tub before he ate them a rather clever send-up of the chapter of Odysseus meeting up with the cyclops in the Odyssey, but then like I said, it doesn't take much to make me laugh.

13. That's the point.
It's mocking what the writers view as a decadent and lame genre of tv...the medieval hero/action short-drama...everything from Hercules through Xena to Legend of The Seeker, and everything before that in that genre.

It's bad to be intentionally bad...the audience is in on the joke because it's not just making fun of those sorts of series, it's also mocking the people who love those types of shows.

17. I didn't even make it through the opening credits of the 1st episode
I switched off when the first gag turned out to be the title character walking into a pillar. Bag o'shite.

18. They're trying to make fun of "Legend of the Seeker", "Xena", and others
I haven't even bothered to see it, because everyone who has tells me it's just absolutely terrible.

19. I have never seen a regular TV show get THAT graphic with fruit!
Let's face it, the whole thing was about sex, not adventure.

Topping one another on what they can do with grapes, a pitted peach, a banana, two melons, and finally a face spash of coconut milk.:rofl:
