Humor

The Linux Action Show is notable is for the comically exaggerated tone of its introductory segments. For example, [http://www.linuxactionshow.com/?p=147 Episode 62] begins with an enthusiastic voice-over, with romantic music by Barry White in the background:

cquote|This week on... The Linux Action Show!

We shine our love light on Fedora 8 and chat about its new features. A chain of 900 drug pushers in Sweden have chosen their new drug of choice... and it's Linux! Soon a Rusky near you is going to know Linux better than you do. Compiz keeps rockin' the new features, and we keep on drooling. Is SCO the sad victim of the mean bully that is LINUX, or is the press just jonesing for more page hits? We Discuss! Yahoo! gets its groupware on, and we go over all of the great new features of GNOME 2.2 OH!

Rivalry with LugRadio

The Linux Action Show has a friendly rivalry with the British podcast LugRadio. Jokes about each other are often traded back and forth. A frequent source of humor is LugRadio's use of colorful language, in contrast to The Linux Action Show's reluctance to do so. Each show has featured the other's hosts as a guest.Fact|date=March 2008
