TDS is bombing!!!

The blue dress joke was awful. The new guy is worse than awful!!! FDA women's health guy joke about beaver was just AWFUL!!

Really dumbed down, frat boy crap.

I politely disagree:shrug:

To each his own, I guess :shrug:

I actually enjoyed the show.

My laughometer said it was one of the better shows. Even if I can't remember that other line that was totally brilliant.

but a veterinarian running women's health for FDA should be great material.

I liked both.

we laughed and laughed. oh well. i liked it

context that everyone would understand. You did understand the blue dress, didn't you?

He decided to remind everyone of a Democratic one.

But that would still be OK if it was funny, but it wasn;t.

excused by saying "Clinton had a blowjob". It's the universal excuse. Eddie Haskels the world over are getting off scot-free with it. You know when Saddam sez "blue dress" in court, he's gonna get sprung.

In fact, I don't think there really was much of a point. It was just a dud, in my opinion. Nobody gets a hit everytime, and that bit just fell flat, I thought. Clinton blowjob jokes are cheap and easy, and I think TDS can do better.

Thanks.

I think the point on TDS was a cheap laugh. But I'm tired of that sitch being brought up so much. There is so much to spoof on with regard to Hot Tub Tom without bringing up something so completely unrelating. But, anyway, I'm complaining. I realize there are better things to complain about.

didn't mean I had to think it was funny.

:evilgrin:

but others might.

Damn JS.. wtf?

I'm enjoying it!

The new guy was hilarious!!

:rofl: :rofl:

giggling?

:wow:

Then he is fair game, I too hate Clinton jokes, but not because I like Clinton or find them partisian, I just think that they are stale.

Seems to me that going back to Clinton jokes is, "I can't figure out something funny"

Sarek would not approve, you walking computer!

So I have been told over and over when I dared criticized. When the blue dress appeared I left the room, and hubby turned to the news.

When a lot of the "comedy" became REALLY tasteless. And Jon really needs to make his staff just stay the fuck away from "jokes" about anything related to choice, women's health or women. Because the writers are evidently incapable of doing that in a way that isn't in horribly BAD taste. I actually had my love for the show effectively ruined through a "This Week In God" bit in which poor Stephen Colbert was forced to tell jokes about "back-alley contraceptionists." That shit was disgusting (it was so terrible that Colbert made what looked to me like a pretty serious attempt to get out of doing that part of the sketch--telling Jon beforehand, while sounding dead serious, "I can't do this tonight, I've just taken a vow of silence"). Unacceptable. Shameful. The show hasn't been the same for me since that time. I am starting to believe JS needs to hang it up.

about Novak walking off the set of CNN, about Brown, about Bush and New Orleans.

In general, I like the first part of the show where he gives us the news. I agree that the reporters do not always hit it and the interviews are bad. He rarely let his guest complete their sentences and cut them in the middle and all in only 5 min.

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

Cause it's not been on par lately.... he's been making equal opportunity bad jokes.

Don't they know WHO their audience is??? dumb really dumb. Even the live studio audience is giving him shit about these lame jokes lately.

He will take it to the Dems if they leave themself open. Always has always will.

Seems like this week, all the sudden, theyre harshing on dems and liberals almost as much as repubs. The show (was it monday?) where he talked about the protest really made me go.. huh?

TDS, like any show, has good episodes and bad episodes. You can also say it has good weeks and not so good weeks.

I'd say this week certainly hasn't been its best.

Schumer was great. Milk and COokies was a great zinger.

Tne new guy is good - looks like Ed Helms.

I disagree with the OP

The new guy was quite good. And what's wrong with a little crude humor here and there?

Plus the interview with Chuck Schumer was hilarious! "Milk and cookies" ?

Some days are better than others and its all personal taste any way. You didn't like yesterday's show, others did. In the end its a valuable show in that it gives us daily exposure to the disgraceful behavior in Washington. It has the side advantage of being brilliantly funny about one day out of 5, mighty good three days out of 5, and now and then one show slips a bit. Who could ask for more?

The Daily Show delivers pretty much every show.
