(N.) A hilarious sketch comedy show on Comedy Central that is known for being America's #1 source of offensive humor. In fact, it really is the ONLY thing funny on Comedy Central. It has been renewed for a second season and unless Comedy Central plans to pull a "FOX", it seems to be here to stay for a while.

The extra awesome extraccurricular activity at schools mostly in the mid west. it is where high school students prance arround on giant risers, duck tape the bottom of their shoes, use enough aqua net to cause lung cancer, sleep on the floors of buses, talk trash about that one girl who "can't do a jazz hand to save her life", and at the end of the day, go home with a few sparkly trophies that make for great weapons if someone is being annoying on the bus ride home. Guys wear more make up than David Bowie, and girls aren't afraid to strip in front of a large crowd of boys. We sweat, get sprained ankles, curse, and at the end of the day made some good friends and had some awesome times! Ah Show Choir...what's not to love!?
Dude 1: Dude! that girl over there is totally stripping!
Dude 2: Yea so, she's in Show Choir.
Dude 1: Well still, why aren't you totally in awe over this?
Dude 2: Cause I'm in Show Choir...
