(xpost)It's so bad, it's just uncomfortable to watch. It's to stupid to get anyone mad and the ohmigod I can't believe someone made something so crap laughs don't last more than a few seconds.

daily show no longer on youtube?

― deej (deej), Thursday, 15 February 2007 18:18 (seventeen years ago) link

still listed as running next weekend.

"I would be surprised if that's the case. If so, it shows how pathetic the demand from bartenders themselves is to keep smoking going in most places."

It is the case. Or at least according to the owner of Amber (in SF), it's the case. There is one other place that is run the same way, I think (the Phonebooth maybe?)

Saw a brief segment about this on the news last night. They sat some Young Repubs. president in front of it, and when a zinger like, "OMG Obama popularity ratings among Dems down to all-time low of 99.9%!!!1" he turned to the camera, slight smirk on his face, and say, "That was funny!" -- without laughing.

isn't this going to give people a nice easy way of attacking Fox News over being "fair and balanced"?

OBAMA MORE LIKE OSAMA

― deej (deej), Thursday, 15 February 2007 18:59 (seventeen years ago) link

Barack Obama? More like Black Osama!

The racial stuff in that clip is disgusting - marion barry, 'who's more diverse' w/ tiger woods article, etc

― deej (deej), Thursday, 15 February 2007 19:01 (seventeen years ago) link

the cover story of "about that 'hussein' thing" was one of the worst things. I mean, what about it? Next episode: Michael Moore is fat.

Ann Coulter's line at the end was a little funny.

― jw (ex machina), Thursday, 15 February 2007 22:14 (seventeen years ago) link

because its true

― deej (deej), Thursday, 15 February 2007 22:25 (seventeen years ago) link

god neither of these clips resembles anything close to proper satire. and the stuff being telegraphed in the obama bit is absolutely insane! like, unless you're a fucking flat-out racist, why else would the *extent* of the democratic love affair with obama be funny on it's own? and the limbaugh/coulter thing, that's satire how exactly? that republicans are supposed to find the prospect of those two in power somehow FUNNY = their idea of humor is actually pretty nervous and self-consoling

If the democrats were fucking as badly as them, do you think it'd be any different? (of course, liberals are intrinsically somewhat funnier tho)

― jw (ex machina), Thursday, 15 February 2007 23:23 (seventeen years ago) link

democrats fuck badly?

liberals = better educated
smarter people "get" more jokes, tell better jokes
Suck on THAT stereotype, red-staters!

(of course, their lines were written by left-leaning folks on tv shows created by left-leaning folks)

Wasn't the dude who played Bunker a left winger?

Kelsey Grammer read whatever lines were put into his mouth for a paycheck.

and if i need to be head-trauma-inducing obvious, i meant the characters, not the actors, obv.

thus the contrast of niles vs archie

Smoking bans in cinemas(theaters in the USA. We spell the wrong word incorrectly, like English wasn't complicated already. Joy -_-) is something I'm all for, if it's done by the owner.
It's actually interferes with the projection. That's fucking STUPID. "Well, I think I'll ruin this movie in general so I can relax a little more..."

I'm all for there being non-smoking establishments. Even that being the majority! I mean, most people don't smoke. It just makes sense for smokers to have fewer places to go.
Thing is, if I'm going to see a noise band in a dive bar, what happens is 50%+ of the audience is rotating 5-15 peoplee at a time in and out the door, getting more and more annoyed.
It actually never bothered me that much(I kinda like the cold and how that neighborhood looks) but other people tended to get sick of trying to mark their territory, protect their drinks, take turns being the chair-watcher and spending alot less time listening to the music.

That's the only personal problem I have. It just makes me sad to see bands I like miss out being heard.
But it was more what I mentioned earlier.
I'd prefer to play in a place that allows smoking. it's the audience I want to play for. *shrugs* I have to sellte for the place where the most people are standing outside in the dead of winter ;)

Oh good lord that Limbaugh clip is bad - it's like a sketch some staffers would do write for a political fundraising dinner.

I wasn't aware smokers were a separate audience.

He's just saying he doesn't want people leaving during his show.

is that seriously the best cigar in the oval office joke they could come up with?

i have gone from laughing at how bad this show looks to already feeling kind of sorry for it before the first episode ever airs.

― Rick Gibralter (grady), Friday, 16 February 2007 03:14 (seventeen years ago) link

It's embarssing. There must be funnier conservatives in the world than these.

― Shadowcat (A-Ron Hubbard), Friday, 16 February 2007 03:22 (seventeen years ago) link

Actually, even Rush Limbaugh's radio show is occasionally funny, but he's funny as a smug, sarcastic, disembodied voice. That doesn't mean he can do TV comedy.

― Shadowcat (A-Ron Hubbard), Friday, 16 February 2007 03:23 (seventeen years ago) link

"He's just saying he doesn't want people leaving during his show."
Correct.
But I find more smokers are nihilistic and they seem to like intentionally annoying things more.

I don't think I can be drunk enough to watch this thing...

HA you don't remember his TV show, do you?

Hint: it was a lot like when Beavis & Butthead went on the Gus Baker show
