Ugh, do these guys think people actually like Tom ARnold?

What the *beep* is with this "celebrity" cameo? *beep* unbearable.

Damn shame too, cuz this season was *beep* gutbusting up till season 7, where it ust stops dead in its tracks. Hopefully it all ends positively, but i'm quite sickened and perplexed right now.

I mean is this a canadian thing? Are the likes of Doug Stanhope and Tom ARnold actually popular/well liked up there? I can't fathom why the boys thought this was a good idea for the season outside of some bizarre cultural differences.

Yes, this was shaping up to be a classic season until the celebrity friends showed up. As you say, dead in its tracks. Awful.

No, the reason they probably used Tom Arnold is because he was the only celebrity who agreed to it other than Snoop.

He was still the better of the three. He kind of acted a lot more rich than he is

I loved what they did with Tom Arnold. He played us. All the things he was doing were all the things we would love to do if the boys were real people and Sunnyvale was a real place. Lets not forget he's kinda trashy in real life too. He was the ultimate tourist and the level of enthusiasm was just perfect. Snoop on the other hand...he doesnt fit. The guy is loaded, always will be and I'm sure he wouldnt sleep in a trailer. If they handled him like they did Sebastian Bach, that wouldve worked well. Made the whole interaction with him about Ricky's 5-hour drink.

I'll agree that his usage made sense. That said, it still didn't make for very good episodes. He was incredibly irritating and obnoxious.

I hate Sebastian Bach as much as these other guys, but i felt they used him perfectly. As much as i can't stand him, i stil couldn't help but laugh at how that whole storyline unfolded. It was great. I mean a *beep* antique train expo? Fantastic. Makes perfect sense some washed up loser rocker would be resorting to stuff like that too, so that made it easier to take.

But to pile on 3 even *beep* and more annoying celebrities into a season after this? Give me a *beep* break. And none of it was the least bit funny.

What was worse was when JImmy Kimmel appeared. Completely ruined it for me. Got to give the TPB crew some credit though. They milked this show for all it was worth. 10 seasons, a handful of movies. It was just a matter of time before it jumped the shark.

Not a big Tom fan but I thought he did great. Also, I think you meant Doug Benson. Though, Stanhope is *beep* awesome.

tom was great, I thought it was creative to have him play a fan like that, I'm not that big into celebrities doing the show though, I wouldn't mind them dropping the whole rap thing unless they bring the old j-rock back where he's trying to get street cred and making fun of randy, j-rock seems like a lost character now, they run the park and when they run the park the show turns into a circus, the last 3 seasons were like the gathering of the juggalos
