- Quotes
[at a racial sensitivity seminar]
Marty Shonson: Well, I have definitely looked down the double-barrel of the racist shotgun... in that I was made fun of a lot when I was a youngster for
[pointing to his red hair]
Marty Shonson: the old cinnamon bush up top. And uh, you know they called me all kinds of names. You know: carrot top, cinnamon top, copper top, cheeto head, cheeto top, butt pirate, ginger snap.
Kevin Beekin: I don't think, uh..."butt pirate" is referring to your red hair. It's a slang for gay people.
Marty Shonson: I think it refers more to pirates being of Danish decent, the Vikings and whatnot, they were red-haired. And I think the "butt" part is just sort of adding insult to injury. You know, sort of a seaman taunt.
Tillie Sullivan: It becomes the pirate, the reference is it's referring to pillaging butts.

The most important thing that you have to remember about the show is that ALL, let me repeat that, ALL of the dialog is IMPROVISED. Every scene has its goals but the show is 90% improv. The comedy is quick and SMART, instead of Dane Cook crap. This is comedy at its best.
The show provides a nice change from other Comedy Central shows (ie. Blue Collar TV) and is probably most similar to Reno 911 (i'm not sure if that is improvised).
Don't CANCEL THIS COMEDY CENTRAL!!!
