As a stand up comic I have traveled to every corner of this beautiful country. In my journeys I've found one universal truth: Some idiot will do something stupid and some other moron will record it. And thanks to Al Gore all that crazy ish gets uploaded to the Internet.
I'm gonna sift through all that "crazy" and bring you the best online clips from all over the country. With some help from my favorite white guy, Chris Distefano, and a few more of my friends we will take you on a tour of the new American frontier: The Internet. Don't worry, we're gonna make fun of every American tradition, not just yours. And it's not just videos. There's going to be jokes and sketches. I'm even going to make my friends compete in games that have no prizes.
