If this is anything like any other creative endeavor I ever tried, I highly suggest NOT just scrapping it altogether and just trying something similar later. It just tends not to work out. Salvage what's good, change what's bad, but keep at it. Gotta imagine this is just like any other creative work, you're gunna churn out a whole lotta crap until you get to something good.
Some minor scripting might help, maybe even if it's only picking a topic for each ep ahead of time, just to keep things focused and to give you a starting point.
From there maybe shoot for a webcomic style update of 2 or 3 times a week instead of everyday.
Should all that fail...see if you can get women to flash you on the road, that's usually pretty popular and entertaining.

I'm with Ryan 100%. You're too tough on yourself. I think it's a neat idea, just keep spitting stuff out until you find your groove.
Now get some sleep, you look like ass. (Is that banter hetero-male enough for you?)

Don't underestimate the entertainment value of watching you flounder. The "gay" and "retard" comments are just icing...
Hey Jerry,
I think you may be on to something too. Don't give up. Here are a few suggestions:
* Get some people in the car with you
* Let the tape run, don't think about performing so much. Relax into yourself and just let go. GO BACK LATER AND EDIT OUT THE BAD, AND KEEP ONLY THE GOOD PARTS.
* Strap a figure, doll, puppet or some character for you ONLY you to look at and talk to it as if it were a real person. It might seem strange but the effect might be powerful on the viewer.
* Create some encounters (it doesn't matter if they are real or stage/scripted because it's all just entertainment, right?!).
* What do you think of Jack Ass? Do you think you could borrow anything from that succesful formula?

How about a trip to the store or a night out? Ohhh I got an idea! Are you ready...
