Default Better host of a green screen clip compelation commentary show?

Daniel Tosh seems to want his show to be more than standing in front of a green screen and making jokes at easy targets. The problem is, his produced segments are mostly unfunny. Even saying that, he's funnier than Joel McHale. But what say you?

I do like them both but I give the slight edge to Tosh.

It might just be the material, I don't care all that much about reality shows and talk shows, which is what McHale mainly makes fun of. That being said he does a good job with that material.

I don't find Tosh's delivery to be that great. I think he has the funnier content, but that's what makes it funny, not Tosh himself.

Joel has great delivery on The Soup and they find jokes in some unexpected places for that show. I like that.

Tosh has better stuff to work with, and he's a comedian, so funnier in a blatant way. McHale has the better show I think, and it's more clever than Tosh's stuff, so I enjoy it a bit more. Make me think a little, don't just tell me 8 different jokes about a guy hitting himself in the nuts. (Cue the South Park America's Funniest Home Videos clips)
