The show is horrible. It's also horribly funny.

This has to be the most legit thread EVER....

I thought this was done, so....
Ok, I'm going to clarify now: "This has to be the most legitimate (genuine) show ever...", as in everything in the show is real, ghosts, spirits, or whatever else.
The topic in the thread is Ghost Hunters. I should have named the thread, "Ghost Hunters has to be the most genuine ghost hunting show ever..."
There. Your correction. If you can change the title of the thread, then do so. I'm not about to get into another debate over this.
No one asked me to explain sarcasm and that wasn't the topic of the thread. I wasn't wrong to use it in the first place, so people really need to keep on topic.

But weren't you complaining earlier that Ghost Hunter was extremely fake like every other ghost hunting show?

I think he means legit/genuine in the sense that it is
not legit/genuine.
Moral of the story: Don't use sarcasm on a message board. :P
I'm gonna leave this open though, so that if there
is a point to this thread which I am positive there is, it can be sought after from here onward.

Uhh, because the show is totally bogus. It made more sense when you were being sarcastic...

Oh, thank god! So you understood the sarcasm! I knew it's not impossible on the net, you've just got to look for the right people.
Lol, yeah Kuukai, some people just don't seem to understand.
Better stated:
"Ghost Hunters has to be the most genuine show ever. I mean, it's a comedy, right?

Favorite commercial...blah, blah, Carey Elwes jumps out and says, "You called?"
I don't think anyone got the Carey Elwes reference (he played in Robin Hood: Men In Tights, a parody).

Well, sarcasm works best via vocal tone. It's hard to convey through text so trying to use sarcasm online without a flagging indicator is sort of a jackass move.
"That show is so legit." Compare to, say, "Yea, pffright, that show is SOOOOO legit."
You could've made it more clear.
