Are Penn and Teller snarky?
If they are, is that good or bad, considering they are social critics as well as entertainers?
If they are not snarky, then how do they come across to you?

P&T's "Bullsh-t" is a good show, snarky or not.

...and yes, P&T are "snarky", but they're usually also CORRECT. They just share it in an entertaining way...entertaining to me at least, probably not to the folks they're skewering!

Good-- they deserve it.

Penn is one hella smart dude.

I really love when they do episodes like the war on drugs, the war on pron, sensitivity training, ext. Where they have something to say more than just make fun of whack jobs (although was also really funny when they rip on those people that pay 2,000 dollars to go the DESERT to commune with dolphin spirits.) |

I find them funny, and my favorite show is where the chick volunteers to get bikini waxed "down there". They showed everything and I'm not to proud to admit that I watched it in slow motion. Repeatedly. |

| What episode was that? Please tell me it was this season, I have show time on demand!
Speaking of showtime... Weeds + Californication + Dexter + Penn and Teller = the best TV lineup in the history of the world |

"snarky" and "shtick" in the same sentence...I deserve a cookie for that.
