Jesus Christ we get it, you can make a sexual innuendo, shut the hell up. Every other line with this guy, its like being in the 7th grade...

Lets keep a running vote, is he the most annoying narrator ever, yes or no?

It's AMAZING how you all think he's making up his own narration. He's reading a SCRIPT written by a WRITER. If there's a lot of innuendo, it because it's written as such for him to read. calm down on the hate for him already.

The script is very, very funny and just light hearted innuendo. I can not believe the femnazis writing on this saying he is a sexist pig. Grow up, it is harmless banter making the slower parts of the documentary amusing.

Your life would be far more enjoyable if you weren't so bitter and just enjoyed yourself.

The problem is that the script just isn't funny at all. It's amazing how some writing teams get it almost 100% right...every single time. Bob Saget (genius), Tom Bergeron, Daisy Fuentes & John Fugelsang. Others are nowhere close...every single time. Blues Clues, America's Funniest People (with the amazingly talentless Dave Coulier), Planet's Funniest Animals (Keegan-Michael Key), All New Planet's Funniest Animals, and I just saw tonight something like "Best Viral Videos of the week" with Arsenio Hall and even he couldn't pull off the lame script.

I can take distasteful comedy-I love Eddie Murphy's stand-up, but the problem isn't lack of taste, political incorrectness, or anything else. It's just. not. funny.

The fact that other shows get it right every time shows that's there's a right way and a wrong way to do it. I often wonder if simple hard work and long hours is the difference.

Umm OK - sorry Larry but was that comment meant to make sense?

I believe the comments by the narrator on the special are light hearted and funny. He also usually makes the comments in the slower parts of the special also.

Further more some of the show's you have mentioned I don't find funny at all. Just appreciate that some people have different sense of humour and move on.

He's a one-trick pony, no question, but I like his voice.

Yes this narrator is indeed annoying, I mean every 2 sentences he references something sexual
I can take once an episode, maybe even twice but 10-20 times is crazy, That is why I mute it during the trick and then play it during reveal

Hope is what we Cling to when Reality has left us Nothing Else

It's not fun and lighthearted it's OVERKILL. one or two comments fine but it's constant, can't you tell the difference or do you have to be drowned in innuendo to be able to pick up the joke? If you have a fine sense of humor you can pick this stuff up even if it's subtle and this just is miles away from subtle. It's over the top schlock. Plus I don't know why anyone would want an old fart like Mitch telling you about how aroused he's becoming unless well you like imagining Mitch with a stiffy. Maybe that's what you find attractive about his narration, his sexy voice telling you how hot he's getting.

There is only light, my light, my naked light, my gift to you all. Experience my bliss.

Don't dis Mitch!!!!

[–] keyvenx 13 years ago

These guys need to let up... no matter what the narrator does, someone out there is going to hate.

Therefore all the nonsensical hate-spewing is just pointless stupidity that no one of importance is going to pay attention to.

[–] arthur_nonimus 13 years ago

It's working just as it should then, they employ skimpy dressed attractive assitants and a narrator who makes innuendos all the time to distract the audience (who is mostly made up of 18-35 yo males) so that when the trick is revealed it is like 'WOW, How did I miss that!!' Many of the tricks are well worn and an observant person will pick it up if they are watching closely the first time. But to keep it interesting they have to try and distract you until the the BIG REVEAL as it were.

[–] BrainGremlin 12 years ago

I agree. I came here just to complain about him. Well, to complain about the writing (I certainly don't hate on Mitch!). It gets so grating.

I hear his theme music, he's around here somewhere...

Don't blame the messenger.

Your beef is with the writers.
