W. Kamau Bell - Totally Biased cyber premiere party!

Thursday I had the opportunity to view some exclusive content in preparation for the premiere of W. Kamau Bell's Totally Biased comedy show. It did not start out as a cyber party, but as I was making the rounds on facebook inviting people, all those that wanted to join were not in my area. In fact all those that wanted to join were part of my online group of friends who I have never actually met but we spend lots of time chatting on Facebook and helping each other out with contests and such.

So my party ended up looking like this:

I started off with an open chat in hopes of more guests but I had a real weirdo start to make rude comments so it ended up just being me and my two lovely guests.

I was really nervous to do this because I had never met these people and I didn't want them to feel like they had wasted their time attending my cyber party when they could've done something else. Fortunately they overwhelmed me with their positive support and we had a blast!

First off we chatted a bit about what we had done so far. One guest had already listened to the album and had rated each clip. I had saved listening to the album for the party as had the other guest. 

Then all three of us synced our players and listened to the Face Full of Flour album straight through. 

I made some cookies for the party and fortunately only made two because I ate them all. :-p It was so great being able to do this with other people. It made laughing easier and the experience a whole lot more fun. When I am by myself I can watch a clip of Craig Ferguson's show and not even crack a smile. I can then watch the same clip with my sister and laugh so hard my chest hurts. Comedy needs people! :-)

Afterwards we discussed our opinions and found that all of us were very biased against his incessant swearing. We felt it was rude to be constantly slapped in the face like that. Also I found that we were very biased against certain topics he brought up. For me it was every time he made rude comments about God and Jesus. I believe that God is . . . God. And you DO NOT make fun of Him.

Now I didn't think he was all bad. He made some valid points and was not afraid to stand up for what he believed. But if he can then so can I. :-)

My favorite comment from the album was the ones he made about Henry Louis Gates and what he had to go through. It caused me to google the story because I was unfamiliar with it. Who says TV can't be educational? :-p

We tried to watch the 3 minute preview together but it was not available yet. So we finally said our goodbyes and even swapped phone numbers so we could keep in contact later. I made some very good friends that day, and I have Crowdtap and W. Kamau Bell to thank for that. :-D

I watched the actually show on my own and was pleasantly surprised. He didn't swear too much and made some very nice comments about dear Gabby Douglas. I am a big gymnastics fan so that was awesome!

I'm not sure if I will continue watching the show, but I am not wholly set against it so we'll see.
