  • you dont own the copy right on bull so stop your bitching

  • Drew seems like a nice guy. He even worked with Penn and Teller on an episode of his show. I'm sure he didn't knowingly do this.

  • Hi Penn fans. Penn Says videos have been discontinued, so you won't be seeing any new content on here. You can check out our Profile on our Channel Page for more info. We'll still be checking in, so hope to keep chatting with you all! Thanks!

  • you suck dick pal

  • Could there be any connection to the bull as in bears and bulls of the market?

  • Yo, Penn. Take it easy, It's one thing if John Stossel and Drew Carey (Libertarians) call B.S. on them.

    Maybe they should put you and Teller in the segments, but at least it's not Bill-o and Glen Beck's Bullshit in America. They are that every night. I can see you getting pissed if that was the circumstances. But, if Jesse Ventura ripped of just the title of my gimmick to say the same thing, I'd be down wit dat. Just sayin', holmes.

  • Puh. Drew is a douche. Loyal fans aren't worried about P&T, you guys are always going to be original anyway.

  • bull is for pussies bullshit is legit

  • i think this is pretty lame... why not talk about something instead of how pissed you are that "someone stole your name"?

  • I'm a Libertarian... I hate Republicans.

    Check out some Doug Stanhope stuff.

  • My incredible respect for Penn dropped ten-fold after watching this video. I've never been so disappointed.

  • ehm... i think thats a bit of a stretch man...

  • Get a grip Penn. ;) its not a big deal.

  • Quit bitchin ya sopping pussy :D

  • What made me mad was how those bastards STOLE the word "AND" from you:

    penn AND teller's bullshit

    bailouts AND bull----

    Why can't those troublemakers come up with their OWN words, instead of PIRATING yours?!

  • What the hell is this? "Fascist cults"? How come you can't understand that the involuntary nature of the government is what is 'fascist' and the voluntary nature of the marketplace is not? The market is a system where everyone can act to further their own ends while also benefiting everyone else is the process. The government is an institution where certain groups act to further their own ends at the expense of everyone else. Which one would you rather have?

  • you guys have different show names... CRY SOME MOAR!!!

  • john stossel should get slaped again lol

  • people like john stossel?

  • You believe in mandatory preschool?

  • "Libertarianism... represent old school extreme right wing Republican Party dogma...."

    Libertarianism, in a nutshell is: 'Do what ever the hell you want, I don't care, so long as it stays in your back yard. The instant it enters mine or someone else's, I start caring.' It is all about personal liberty and freedom.

    This is the opposite of "Republican party dogma," and Democratic party dogma as well. Both aforesaid groups advocate big government and the absence of personal liberty.

  • Libertarianism is about halfway between each on the spectrum. Socially it is more liberal while economically it is decidedly more conservative. Jefferson was a libertarian and he was no where near an "extreme right wing republican." Not everyone has to be grouped at one extreme of the spectrum. Most people fall some where in the middle... Unfortunately the people reporting on the news have decided they they are going to polarize and by extension make others look polar as well. Don't fall for it.

  • I don't understand why people seem to think that it has anything to do with Conservatism. Liberals talk about Libertarian values all the time. Homosexuality... the legalization of Cannabis... free speech. All of these things should not be controlled by anyone other than the people who choose it for themselves. It isn't hurting anyone.

    Conservatism is almost a polar opposite.

  • Also, Pen didn't vote this past election, and encouraged others to do the same if they felt they could not stand behind either candidate.

  • Territorial pissing....!

  • Hacks hate it when other hacks steal their unoriginal shit.

  • ZZZZZzzzzz.......

  • Maybe they should call it D**kless Bull****

  • Drew Carey's stuff actually is way more intelligent, and earns the right to judge something else as bullshit.  Penn & Teller's show is more bullshit than what it goes after.

  • I guess anyone would lose their credibility when they state views you don't agree with.

  • John Stossel and Drew Carey are more Cato Institute shills, paid millions by billionaires to brainwash you. This video is meant to create a fake feud calculated to generate cross-promotion. Fame whores like Stossel, Carey and Penn Jillette live and breathe propaganda night and day.

    Penn & Teller, John Stossel, Drew Carey: dancing monkeys for the Cato Institute, funded by ExxonMobil, Chase Manhattan, Wlamart, Monsanto and other fascist cults. Like your slavery? Believe these lapdogs.

  • Sounds petty. Like Penn & Teller have a copyright for the word Bullshit. Dude, you're a millionaire, get over it. You probably stole it from someone else anyway. How many magic tricks did you steal?

  • Penn & Teller plagiarized 14-year-old Nathan Zohner's "Dihydrogen Monoxide" science fair project and neocon shill James K. Glassman's bizarre Washington Post Op-Ed neocon propaganda piece about it, even down to saying that fooling people with scientific jargon somehow discredits the environmental movement. Did they pay or even acknowledge their sources? Nope, Penn just read off the teleprompter in his usual monotone as if the stolen ideas were his own. Karma's a bitch, fatboy.

  • Ha ha, his face at 2:49

  • I'm quite familiar with the show Bullshit! and I NEVER made an association between the two shows. Nonissue.

  • What do you expect they are individualist like you, to them its ethical because of self interest. Hey its your ideology, im just glad you guys will never organize! HA

  • What was the argument here?

  • Title infringment. Basically Penn & Teller's show called Bullshit has been around for several seasons then all of the sudden the people over at 20/20 needed a name for a show and magically they pulled bullshit out of their ass (no pun intended). Most people and companies would sue over such matters but Penn is just blowing off some steam about it. He's being a class act rather than hiding behind a lawyer to piss and moan about it.

  • Cuz he stinks of bullshit thinks he owns the word. His wife must have no sense of smell. Nasty lookin', nasty smellin'.

  • the whole picture message to the masses is right and needs to be out there,but Penn is right! It is emotionally painful to lose property and concept without even a thank you .

  • Bullshit is bullshit, I don't care if it's Penn Jellette or Drew Carry pointing it out. All I care for is a good laugh!

  • Come on man, you said it themselves, they meant no disrespect. And "Bailouts and Bull" is quite a long shot from "Penn and Teller: Bullshit".

  • This is all complete bullshit, and I love it all! Bullshit?

  • this video is HOKUM

    love ya anyway penn

  • Love ya, Penn.

    Keep on keepin' on!

  • clearly he doesn't understand the weight of his show... give yourselves some credit and don't mind other peoples bullshit

  • Who died and let you own the word bullshit.

  • no one can replace you. :D you guys are great

  • i think your over reacting just a little bit. I doubt they will even get past the first season.

  • Penn was right on with this one.

  • Everybody need just a little bullshit in thier lives.

  • its not that big rally i just learned about this from you.

  • What makes "Bullshit" is the team behind it. (Pardon the puns.) P&T do an excellent job. Being here in Germany, I didn't get to see the origionals, only what I can gleen from YouTube. If some other team can show that there is more bullshit out there, (which should be easy) let them. We can't change anything unless we can talk about it and humor is a good tool to catch the attention of everyone.

  • But Drew Carey does have a dick. His dick is so big, he uses the Eiffel Tower as a french tickler!

  • Do you have a copyright on the word "bullshit", let alone "Bull". What no one can use a word even somewhat similar to one of the words in your shows title.

    Typical Capitalist bullshit!

  • Nice pinky ring Penn.

  • hEY MY DAD got me into your show penn and teller, its awesome

  • Its not like you have a copyright

    do you?

  • Hahahah, this is a program on Showtime Cinema. Of course its copyrighted.

  • can't forget CNN man, don't let them off the hook either...

  • there be sand in his huge vaginer. imagine how huge that snatch would be...

    6'7" pussy...whoa! bitch, bitch, bitch. hail satan! 'cause he be my pretend best friend...

  • so when does the new season start?

  • heh, I actually though of your show Bullshit when I first saw the title of their special.

  • me too lol

  • lol i think you're blowing it out of proportion

  • copyright it like that idiot Spike. lol

  • Your fans are loyal, if anyone mistakes the two shows, I'll remind them you guys where first by far.

    And in all truth, I'm glad more shows are coming out like yours, it means that people are finally opening their minds and eyes to the truth out there.

    Yours is a show years ahead in social thinking, history will always remember that. It will read 'Early 2000, several TV shows started finally telling the truth.. First with Penn and Teller: Bullshit'

    They'll be just a foot note in time.

  • I'm sure at least you'll have the luxury of being the only people to call dolphins, nasa, and war on porn bullshit. I doubt many people would touch those. Can't wait to see the astrology and vatican episodes coming up.

  • wow penn i love ya but... wow

  • DAMNIT! I got all excited because I thought this was season 7 info! Anyway, you're right, they should respeck da name! At any rate, I do think it was intended as an homage...

  • lame

  • Ha ha "Grow a dick!' I think he may have been upset. I have not even heard of that other show. LOL

  • A show on ABC with the title bullshit? lol, that will be the day

  • It was a good special. Sorry they took your name, Penn.

  • No one can ever take away the glory of "Penn and Teller: Bullshit!", no one.

    So don't sweat it, dude.

  • no i said excited.. and yet when I wen't to correct my typo.. I still misspelt it..

    Existed.. there I think I got it right that time :P

  • I don't see the problem with them using "Bull" in their name.

  • Drew=punk bitch

  • Boy aren't sounding like the ever increasing whinny little biz-ach... *Unsubscribed!

  • I'm sure they have dicks but the network has a bigger one, therefore no way, no how are they calling their show bullshit. Similarly, Showtime has a bigger dick than you or Teller, therefore, no show on the most obvious of Bullshit targets . . . Scientology. Right?

  • I would listen to Penn more if he weren't getting paid to make these videos. IMO, that's kinda bullshit too.

  • So do you not listen to music where the musician has been paid or watch movies with paid actors???

  • This is like when Donald Trump tried to copyright "You're fired." I love you, man, but get over yourself.

  • Penn I always agree with what you say, but honestly, get over yourself.

    I honestly don't think people are going to see the show title as a rip off, just because the word "Bullshit" is in both titles. It's very bloody clear that both shows are different.

  • You OWN bullshit!?!

    Not very libertarian.

  • Haha, perfect comment.

  • Just be glad they didn't call it Bailouts and Humbug.

  • I love reason, I'm a fan of Stossell, and I'm a fan of Penn & Teller, ! support all of you

  • I don't know how anyone can have any respect for 20/20 and their extreme conservative bias. Especially after what they did to Matthew Shepard.

  • What? You don't own the term "bullshit". Damn, there can be two shows with "bull" in them. A big WTF, Penn.

    Since when is Showtime little? Geez, you got a show, don't try to monopolize a word.

    "grow a dick and call it Bullshit" - If they had called it Bullshit, you really would have went berserk on that one.

    Calm down. Take a deep breath. Perhaps have a cup of chamomile tea. It's not that big a deal.

  • don't be so full of yourself penn, maybe they didn't know the name of your show or hadn't heard of it.

    also, i agree they should just grow a dick and call it bullshit, or rename it completely.

  • You need not worry Mr. Penn Jilette, I'm sure you'll still have many viewers even though Drew and Stossel halfheartly stole the name of your show. At least they were kind enough to leave out the "shit" in "bullshit ";)

  • Should have called it cow poo :<

  • Some posters below should lighten up, Penn is just fronting & ranting, which he is good at!

    It's like what RZA from the Wu Tang Clan once said:

    "...it's all good to show a nigga love...but shit..."

  • Here's a solution. Call your next show Penn & Stossel.

  • Penn...! Give us a break! A show about the market that uses "Bull" in the title? Hardly the first time and hardly a stretch. A skeptic would give them the benefit of the doubt. You are making assumptions!!!

  • I agree, a rare bad one from Penn there.

  • I'm just a recent sub and I've found you agreeable until now.

    Sorry but, you can't use such a popular colloquialism as the name of your show, and not expect it to appear in another form.

    For you to also say that you didn't watch the show yet you agree with it; why don't you just say you would let them rest their nuts on your face for a spell?

    In a tad over 3 minutes, you shattered the opinion I had about you until this moment.

  • I agree with what you are saying, and I found it amusing. But you can't let one disagreement ruin your opinions on a show/person. (or can you?) I think it would be impossible to agree with someone on everything all the time.

    I know sxePhil pisses me off sometimes, but I still watch his show. But yeah, I can't disagree with Penn more on this one. TaTa, I have to go look up colloquialism now.

  • Either that or the concept of calling people out for buying into backwards conventional wisdom is taking off...

  • Penn, I like you and I love your show on Showtime. Buttt I disagree with this video. The word bullshit is a common word meaning nonsense. It's unfair for you to claim ownership of a commonly used word for tv purposes. Even if your show was on tv for 20 years, the word "bullshit" will still not be synonymous with your show, it will still be a common word that could be used in many formats

  • Penn sounds so gay in this video.

  • No worries Penn

    No one could ever top Penn and Teller Bullshit

  • This is the first I've heard of this other bullshit! But then all I watch on TV is Bullshit, National Geographic, Discovery, History and Cartoon Network-especially Adult Swim.

  • I'm sure the title was a marketing or executive idea. I'm not so sure that John and Drew have full control over the Title.

  • Well I was gonna say "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery" but a dozen other assholes got to say that in this thread before me. According to The Aristocrats, Robin Williams stole from Drew Carey, so it's only fitting that Drew Carey would steal from Penn & Teller. In fact, Penn & Teller should now steal from Robin Williams, just so we can complete the circuit.

  • So, at the beginning, you're pissed at them for having a show with a similar name, but then at the end, you encourage them to use "bullshit" instead of "bull," so, you know, the title sounds even more like your show?

  • Lol we have a philosophy class in College called Bullshit.

  • They might be funny guys, but something tells me that they would be fucking t e r r i f i e d to touch on the subjects and take a stand like you guys have.

  • They can't say SHIT on broadcast TV! Thanks to the bullshit FCC.

  • i agree completely Penn.

    but i also think the only show worthy of the title is your show, i know that doesn't sound like a compliment, but it IS lol. bullshit is one of the best fuckin shows ever. any1 with intelligence knows this, but enough brown nosing, im not Pinocchio.

  • I think it's a bit of stretch to say they "stole" it. I would never think it's the same show.

  • This is total bullshit!

  • I disagree that their use of 'Bull----' in the title of their show is questionable just because you have Bullshit in your title. I agree that they should've spelled it fully.

  • Nobody handles bullshit quite like you, Penn.

  • LOL you don't own the word bullshit Penn, nor is your show the only thing that exposes bullshit. I can't imagine people are going to think that you stole the name or anything. It's a word, for crying out loud! It's not like 3rd Rock and 30 Rock. Saying bull just reveals the passion behind how ignorant the subject matter is.

  • The point is not owning it,

    if a friend knows you have something

    your using its just a common assumption to

    easily avoid even the words and use something else.

  • Well first of all there's nothing to imply that they are actually friends or have even met each other, he simply says that he respects them and they are on the same side.

    Second, bullshit is a word that refers to a concept or idea, and it's not like there are a lot of other words to describe that concept so succinctly. How many TV programs have had the word "dream" in the title? You shouldn't have to avoid the word just because someone used it to describe the exact same concept.

  • I agree with creativewind. I hope Penn isn't advocating for the copyright insanity we currently have going on in America. I would never confuse the two shows. Bullshit is much more entertaining. Bailouts and Bull was only one episode title the show title was still 20/20.

  • Imitation is the highest form of flattery, eh? Yeah. Bullshit. ;)

  • you cant say bullshit on tv. ONly on cable.

  • ITS TOO CLOSE TO YOUR FACE

    its a shame that people are so shameless eh?

  • They couldn't have called it bullshit because of the FCC!

  • They can find another name.

  • sorry dude but abc is owned by disney and the mouse can do whatever he wants. and, no, the mouse won't even leave that little crumb. the mouse will eventually take whatever it wants and tie you up in court until old walt rises from the dead, if you resist.

  • u seen the new south park yet? hehe

  • yeah, exactly...except this mouse don't inflate and breathe fire...as satan said in the exorcist "that would be much too vulgar a display of power" (or was that pantera??)

  • My uncle has cows. Some of them have balls. They leave a bunch of bullshit out in the yard. Just try and sue them for trademark infringement. I dare ya!!!

  • We love you Penn!

  • I don't see the problem. For several reasons.

    1. Bull market. It was the belief that the 10 years of a Bull market in the Mortgage sector would continue to be so, and too much of the Bank's money tied to overleveraged Mortgage Securities, that caused so much of the trouble we are in right now.

    2. So much of what is going on is Bullshit.

    3. They needed a title that allows for both interpretations.

  • Whenever you say "but" after telling someone you love them or respect them, you are really saying "forget what I just said, because this is what I really think."

  • It was a good interview mostly about marijuana prohibition and they talked about education for kids some too.

  • They could've called it "Crap"

  • Right on.

  • You might agree with John, but I don't. Since I saw him do the Give Me a Break segment on employees being allowed to smoke in their free time. I have stopped watching 20/20.

    The woman interviewed had no problem to not smoke while on the clock. But they thought they should have the right to smoke at home. Johnny commented something like, "What you think you own your job. Give me a break." And sided with the employer that these woman should not smoke cigarettes.

  • Calm down Penn.

    I saw it as a shout-out to your show, not a rip off.

    Like when blues artists or jazz artists play off of the old masters.

    I thought it was more of a tribute to you guys while sticking a thumb in the eye of the network.

  • too true, cheers!

  • I'm with ya Penn

  • Chill, Penn! I don't think anyone is going to mistake Stossel and Carey's title with Penn and Teller's Bullshit. There are only two masters of bullshit, and just like all the other Slim Shadys, the others are just imitating.

  • 1:06

    "what are you finkin?"

  • first off.. exsisted not excited.. wierd typo..

    Second off...

    Jiff and Peter pan peanut butter are completely different names..

    I would be confused if you were to come up to me and said "Have you tried that peter peanut butter?"

    If later a peanut butter company came up with that name... plus that sounds perverted..

    plus, we aren't necassarly talking about legality 100% we are talking about principles..

  • I like Penn, don't get me wrong, but complaining about using "his" title? It's a very common word that we use today to describe "humbug" (see Penn's own material =P). Let them have the word for their title... to not would actually be bullshit...

    A side note: they're not on cable TV so they can't call their show "bullshit". It's a little surprising the FCC even let the word "bull" (which means "bullshit" in this context, not "a cow with balls") slide, considering how fascist they are.

  • Don't become Donald Trump...

    "You're fired!" "You're sued"

  • Dont you just hate it when bullsh^t like that happens..

  • Penn, bullshit is a common phrase, it is a standard element in the American lexicon. You don't own it.

  • Penn, bullshit is a common phrase, it is a standard element in the American lexicon. You don't own it, Showtime doesn't own it, it belongs to everyone who speaks English. It's really surprising, seeing you fly off the handle like this, and display the degree of hubris required to make someone think they can own a word.

  • The names really aren't that similar.

  • of course penn and teller didn't come up with the term "bullshit". but this is the man's channel. he feels he was jipped out of bullshit, he has the right to bitch about it. and guess what, HE WAS JIPPED!

  • It's not a big deal.

  • PEN...... You did not come up with the name , get over it . i mean what else do you call bullshit but bullshit? i love your show, don't get me wrong but you did not invent the word! its NOT yours! anyone can and should use it! its my favorite phrase. i say it at least ten times a day, but i cant claim it , so get over yourself ! that is such star shit .... have that one starshit! come back to earth ! we are loosing you!

  • there's an old term, "copying is the greatest form of flattery" or something like that. maybe it was meant as a complement?:) bullshit i think is one of the better shows out there.

  • you're over-reacting. it's a name. if anything, it's flattery. There's no confusing the two titles.

  • totally overreacting...

  • i like bull-honkey, but i have always liked bullshit better. my dad and i used to watch commercials and play a game called 'spot the bullshit'. the rules involve looking for ads that use bullshit to sell their stuff. i say its bullshit!

  • thing about them calling it bull-honkey is that some group would probably step in crying over the word honkey being in the title and saying its racest.(honkey is a slang term for white person). your spot the bullshit game sounds fun though:)

  • I think that you are over reacting. It just doesn't seem all that important. But keep rocking on man.

  • Penn, give it up, please....you did not make up BS, you just generate it...still, I subscribe...you are indeed having a midol moment, though...

  • no offense penn, but it's only a fucking word.

  • ˝Bullshit˝ is a common word in the English dictionary ,it was not coined by you,Penn.That mean Stossel has the same right to use it as you,and he's title is also totally different ,so how could someone think that's is a plague of your show or viceversa.

  • LOL

    DRAMA

  • damn Penn, chill out, I doubt it was named that way to spite you. I think you're over-reacting.
