    Outsourced

    Anyone else catch Outsourced tonight (Came on after The Office iirc)? It had its funny moments and I see some real potential in this show. What does everyone else think?

    It had some funny moments, but tried way too hard and was overtly racist.

    Indian chick that looks like Peggy Bundy is fucking hot. Manmeat/Gupta/Assistant Manager are great as well. Otherwise yeah, overt racism

    Did anyone watch the movie Outsourced? I think it came out a few years ago. It was pretty funny.

    I wasn't all that impressed with it. There were a few chuckle worthy moments but nothing real amazing.

    Absolutely terrible show, and makes me miss Parks & Recreation even more.

    As a pilot, I thought it wasn't terrible. Most of the jokes were pretty predictable in terms of "White guy goes to India" and "Indians learning about America", but some of the things I liked. Other than that, the pacing also seemed off with mostly that quiet girl, I assumed at first that would be an arc of some sort, but they just quickly finished it with her whispering a little louder, but also him joining the group of workers over the american guy, which could have been some sort of moment.

    I'll probably watch it for the next few weeks, because maybe they can get better originality and rhythm.

    Honestly I'd rather have Parks and Rec back more than this show, fucking Ron Swanson is balls.

    They should stick William Shatner on it, call it Bleep Indians Say, and then burn the studio to the fucking ground.

    So much anger in this thread.


    I loved it and though it was funny.
