1. Add completely RACIST to that list
Notice the clip when they're talking about America being in love with Obama and they're clearly showing Africans jumping up and down. What in the FUCK is wrong with these people?

3. Notice the canned laughter? That's because the show is too offensive to attract...
...a live audience.

6. The only thing more unfunny is watching Roger Ailes jowls jiggle.
That shit's so lame it hurts.

10. Somebody else picked up on the canned laughter
It has to be on Fox it wouldn't last thru the first show if it was anyplace else. Even with all the republic channels we have today they wouldn't touch it.

11. *sigh*
No, I really can't watch it. My day has been stressful enough.

Anyway, Colbert is coming on. Why watch a cheap knockoff? ;)

12. This is an interesting experiment in humor
It's a pretty well controlled experiment because the producers have managed to duplicate all other factors and simply reverse the point of view to see if that's the only difference between the right and left. There has long been a thread in right-wing rhetoric that all political debate is a matter of equally justified opinions. They usually trot that one out when they've been proven wrong about some issue.
The result nonetheless fails to make fun of anything real about Sen. Obama save the truly debatable prospect of his inevitable nomination. The other jokes are about his body odor (WTF?) and his lack of accomplishment, though he has actually accomplished quite a bit in a short time. I think political humor is funny if it's based on the truth, even if in a surreal way. As a liberal Democrat who admires Sen. Obama, I should've felt stung by those jokes even if I didn't find them funny but they don't really sting.

15. I don't think that Comedy Central has anything to worry about.
It's true: right wing republicans are so caught up in their venomous hatred of "the other" (Commies, Liberals, Democrats, Gays, Atheists, Humanists, Unions, etc) that they can NOT lighten up enough to produce quality satire.

A beautiful truism is revealed in this smashing :eyes: FOX show. Even Dennis Miller is better than this crap. Oh, wait? I wonder if, in a last ditch effort, if they'll snag THAT comedy whore to appear? :rofl:

16. Of Course No Worries...
Most of their viewers are over the age of 54. This show is supposed to attract young people.

18. Oh gosh, thanks for the complement
I'm an old broad who loves both The Daily Show and The Cobert Report. :blush:

I guess being out of the mainstream is what makes an old liberal forever young. ;)

17. Lamer than the lamest season of SNL...
I give it six weeks, but only if they can get Ann, Rush, and Bile-O
to do a threesome on stage. I might even watch that one.

20. Golly, it's like the Daily Show...
...only without teeth, since its on an actual news network. Oh, and it's not that funny, and is completely derivative, and will fold soon.

Heh. "BO" is kind of funny though.

22. very plastic
I didn't find anything funny about this show. Rather they were insulting Obama. of course that is what they seem to be good at as they have not one funny bone in their systems.

and WTF was with the canned laughter and applause? Is there even a real audience there?
