You know I get a little tired of being told I'm an insider. I come from Scranton, Pennsylvania! And that's as hard-scrabble a place as you're gonna find. I'll show you around some time and you'll see. It's a hellhole! An absolute jerkwater of a town! You couldn't stand to spend a weekend there. It is just an awful, awful sad place filled with sad, desperate people with no ambition! Nobody, and I mean nobody, but me, has ever come out of that place! It's a genetic cesspool! So don't be telling me that I'm part of the Washington elite, because I come from the absolute WORST place on Earth: Scranton, Pennsylvania! And Wilmington, Delaware is not much better.

Does anyone else agree they should just kill Tosh.0? I like Daniel Tosh's standup but his show is painfully unfunny.

It's ebaumsworld for folks who can't use the Internet.

Weird, I like that show. And I hate on most shows.

The episode with Tron guy was pretty cool.

Tosh.0 = funny stuff. Yeah, most of the vids played are ones I've seen before but he's pretty ruthless in his humor and he makes me laugh.

that man is a farker i swear.

sigh

I'm beginning to believe NEPA needs its own tag.

I looked for a video of him being arrested that Miss Catelli says was on Youtube, but not dice. Anyone find it elsewhere?

I discovered that when I went to school there. 4 Years with those Heiners. It is the most backward ass place I have EVER been. Including Kentucky!

I watched the first video linked in the article and ... I don't get what's funny.

I work with guys like that every day -- opinionated blowhards with a persecution complex and a willingless to misrepresent reality when it suits them. (They're called "Conservatives." Zing!) They're not funny or endearing; they're annoying at best and frequently infuriating. Why on Earth would I want to see them on t.v.?

Not to mention that Scranton will go bindlestiff following the invention of the Dillon-Wagoner gravitron polarity generator.

I live here.

So I'm getting a kick.

My friends and I had a plan to mess with Mr. Lyman by posting notes on his door pretending to be from the future.

I live about 30 miles south Scranton and first heard about Lyman on local talk radio. Is he the originator of the Legion of Doom t-shirts?

this guy belongs in FL

There's something in Scranton besides Steamtown?

/trucks by trade
//trains as a hobby

The truly strange thing is that my friends and I had planned this without knowledge of that particular gag, which is from the Office...which is set in Scranton.

DUN DUN DUN.

I went to the University of Scranton and had a radio show (new window). We used to play the audio from Ray Lyman's city council antics. I'd like to think that's where it all started.

I know. It's a cool story.

Yes. Yes he is. He and a group of rag tag rebellious hillbilly retards (90% of Scranton) firmly believe that the current mayor, Chris Doherty, is Hitler because...he reopened the Nay Aug Park Zoo...or something.

Tosh.0, with sweat and dead man's balls?

There is something wrong with you. Tosh.0 is hilarious, and its better than Web Soup

Nay Aug Zoo? when I was there it was a couple of goats and a depressed Elephant. But then again who wouldn't be if they were stuck in scranton

The lokle news ain't much better wit da English...

Hayna, er no?

//Anyone here from Waymart?

It closed again recently, but there were a good amount of monkeys, a bearcat, and a tiger named Reba MacIntiger. She died, and they got two tiger cubs and a mountain lion. It was a mini-fiasco when it closed again, causing the local paper to print the hilarious headline, "ANIMALS: Now We Know Better."

I remember the sad elephant. It was just really, really sad.

I hope they have metal detectors there

I grew up in Scranton and remember that poor elephant. It made me cry when I was little because she was so sad.

Pretty much everything in Scranton made me cry

Crazy dude aside, that councilwoman Fanucci is kind of a hottie.

Just reading the comments from the Scranton locals here, it seems that The Office, even if it's trying to portray the city as sort of backwards, does not even come close to doing it justice. Would this be a valid assessment?

I'm not convinced that the guy is funny.

rmcooper4: Just reading the comments from the Scranton locals here, it seems that The Office, even if it's trying to portray the city as sort of backwards, does not even come close to doing it justice. Would this be a valid assessment?

absolutely.

I lived there in 1981-82. The town was built on top of mine shafts. (now there's some intelligent city planning.) Every few days someone's yard, car, or house would disappear as the earth opened up and swallowed a chunk of the town. One day a crane being operated by a worker named Gerald White fell into a mine shaft across the street from where we used to go to the weekend flea markets. At that point, dad decided it might be a good idea if we left. So we did.

I won't elaborate on my experience of living there, I'll just say it was a very long year and a half.
