The punishments are starting to suck.


Don't ya think?
I think the last funny punishment that I can remember was the "Who's phone is ringing?" one.
Last episodes punishment felt like such a waste.
Slightly annoying Sal with an annoying child just wasn't good or funny enough.
I mean compare that punishment with ones like Joe doing aerobics or Sal having to be a judge on a kids talent show n it just seems really poor.
I really hope they aren't losing it.

I never really cared much for the punishments, they're amusing but just not funny.

I understand they're needed to anchor the show together, but when I catch reruns, I usually skip the punishments.

I don't think they suck but they are becoming hit or miss. I liked the Sal watergun punishment but the video game haunted house one was lame and seemed really short. After 5 seasons I don't really blame the guys for running out of ideas.

Thankfully the last one was really funny :-)

I agree. Lately the punishments just seem very rude to other people (You're Cut Off and Whose Phone is Ringing), which I understand some people can find funny because it's just a show, but I personally don't see the humor in it. Others are just extremely embarrassing.

The one where Sal had to pee his pants wasn't funny or amusing to me. It was disgusting and sad.

I like the ones where they have to be rude to people (You're cut off), personally.
But I agree, Sal peeing his pants wasn't funny at all.

I liked this punishment. It was simple and got a big reaction. I'm not a fan of the punishment where they get beat up they aren't as entertaining.
