YMMV / The Adam Carolla Show

• I Am Not Spock: Although he was the host of Loveline for over 10 years and has the most downloaded podcast of all time, most people on the street recognize him as "The Man Show Guy (who's not Jimmy Kimmel)." He's okay with this.
  • Mostly. He gets annoyed when people recognize him as "Man Show" and claim they're big fans, but then ask if he's doing anything now (apparently such big fans they're unware of his podcasts, his books, or his show on Spike TV...)
• Never Live It Down: One of his biggest is a misquote when asked "Who's funnier, men or women?" Not wanting to be wishy-washy PC, he answered "Men." This was twisted into "Women aren't funny" and continues to haunt him. His friendships and appreciation of Lisa Lamapnelli and Sarah Silverman SHOULD stand to disprove it, but...
  • Alison's terrible taste in boyfriends as a teenager/young adult.
  • Bald Bryan's liking Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen. He's reminded every time they play the intro to his "Hooray for Baldywood" bit.
  Before you pay your bucks
  Remember his taste sucks
  He liked that trainwreck piece of shit Transformer 2!
  • Adam was asked to host the American edition of Top Gear. He turned it down because he was working on a TV pilot and couldn't make the time. The pilot never went anywhere.
    • Like his mis-quote above, this has been twisted into he was turned down by the producers or fired from the project due to some controversial statement he made. He insists it did not happen that way.
  • Steve-O of Jackass fame getting drunk and destroying the set of Adam's short-lived Comedy Central talk show. Adam later admitted that he let the episode in question air because it would be the only one anyone remembered.
• Screwed by the Network: Happened to many projects of his that never got past the pilot stage. He usually blames producers being in charge of comedy projects who have zero sense of humor.
• Vindicated by History: Adam is often fond of talking about the various comedians and bands he fought to get on Loveline back in the day that the producers wanted absolutely nothing to do with, and contrasting it with the people they DID want on the show. As a rule, the ones he wanted went on to become successes (like Joel McHale) while the ones the producers wanted were never heard from again.
