The Official Daily Show Thread with Jon Stewart
- Thread starter Firestorm
- Start date
Yeah I was pretty disappointed on how they handled it this year (still entertaining though). I was really looking forward to them teaming up again and doing a long live show like last time. I remember it having a great ending too when everyone was freed from the confines of the studio and basking in the warm glow of Obama's America.

This election for comedy purposes needed to end for those 2 I think.
Obama, the boring incumbent. The inevitable Romney, being a walking joke for almost a year prior to the election.
Mostly just a look of relief.

Yeah, last nights shows seemed very lazy. It's once every 4 years, I was expecting a big 2 hour blowout.

I wonder if it was smaller because they knew Obama had no chance of losing.
He won it before the show even started.

It was a lot "closer" than it was in 2008. And if they had started an hour or two earlier, they would have been there for most the returns. Didn't 2008 coverage start at 9 EST instead of 11?
Heh, on Fox News a guy did point to the political map and say essentially "Look at the map behind me, most of it is red, how did Obama win?" and some guy had to explain to him that the population of the United States is not evenly distributed across the surface of the country.
I am normally just kind of depressed by Fox News, but right now I'm actually kind of fucking angry. How can you possibly be so self-delusional. How can this happen. How do you not recognise your own inherent fearful, scared racism, terrified of change, terrified of minorities, angry and lashing out, pretending you're the victims of some overwhelming evil.

I need a link for that
They fully recognize it. They aren't doing this genuinely, it has been part of their formula ever since the channel launched during the Clinton administration.

Colbert Report was so so good.
That was GAF: The Monologue.

That, along with the Real People Dialogues, was super swell.
So much makes sense all of a sudden!

Yeah, I'm convinced now that the entire Fox news network is essentially one huge Colbert Show. Colbert just does it with sarcasm, while Fox projects it with a more straight faced Leslie Nielson style. But also, Fox uses the people (Republican fanatics) who really believe this shit in their comedy show as props. Really, when you think about it, the entire Fox news network is just one huge comedy show targeted towards Republican religious fanatics. Rupert Murdoch saw a demographic that wasn't being tapped and created an entire network to cater to them.
It's the only plausible explanation. An entire news network can't possibly be that ignorant of facts, evidence, and logic.
Can it?

Colbert's difference maker segment about stripping as art was hilarious.
I just loved the stripper in the background whilst that women was saying the different names.

I rather wish that they used more of those celebrities they showed off during the opening of Tuesday's Daily Show. I mean, seriously, give Patrick Stewart a wig and he'd totally look like Washington...

Neither I nor me nor me will be responsible for this money.
Shameful. It's money laundering.
It's shocking how it's even more like money laundering than it was before this. I remember saying this all could be used as a money laundering scam, back before we all learned about this. Now it's like, all you need to do is wait for an election and you can launder all the money you want for a few months. Shit is just incredibly shady.
Yeah... I can feel it. Every time he says "Let's be fair", I cringe on the inside but I still want to keep listening.
At least he seems aware he's working for a bunch of crazy assholes
