Urging viewers to tune into to the rest of the show, Coulter said, "If you don't, we'll invade your countries, kill your leaders and convert you to Christianity."
...and torture you in secret prisons! Bwa ha haaaa!!!11
Stand by for an elaborate demonstration of why the voice of satire, coming from the throne room, cannot be funny.
That sucked so much my ears popped.
and the name is a straight rip from MTV's 'Half Hour Comedy Hour'
Canned laughter. Nice touch.
Worse. Laugh. Track. Ever.
Being a magnanimous soul, I do my best to find the good bits even in the suckiest things.
Crappy bands? Hey, nice hook on track X.
Crappy writer? Hey, that second bit had some good imagery.
Half hour comedy hour? Sorry, I detect no funny here. But you clearly have worked so hard.
*pats writers on head*
My understanding is that "sneak preview" promos are where you're supposed to bring your A-game. If that's the case here, then this show is more doomed than Walter Mondale.
I thought that was hilarious!!!
... as hilarious as a starving African child with AIDS covered in flies.
I laughed until I peed! Well, I didn't really laugh, and I had to pee already.
It's not that conservatives can't do humor; it's just that American conservatives can't do humor.
There are wits sprinkled here and there. But the ones who are getting the talk shows aren't getting their shows based on wit. They're getting them based on being a REGULAR GUY just like YOU, yes YOU, and they don't take no guff from no POINTY-HEADED INTELLECTUALS. So their idea of comedy is all variations on saying THIS IS HOW IT SHOULD BE, AND YOU'RE STUPID! IN YOUR FACE!
Which works, if you're already one of the converted. But biting social satire, it ain't.
Well it was funnier than my recent root canal.
no, wait... I take that back.
nothing like becoming conservative as a reaction to the idiot wannabe Marxists. As for the clip I just don't even want to watch it.
Utter crap.
The reason Stewart/Colbert are such a success isn't because they're the only game out there, or because they criticize the party in power, it's because they're GOOD SHOWS. I don't have a proble with anyone's political views being the basis of a TV show, but for fuck's sake make it a WELL-DONE TV show.
the sound of drifting tumbleweed
(overlayed with canned laughter)
Good satire gives a kicking where it's due, to idiocy from left, right & center... the right don't have a monopoly on stupidity. The writers of this show need to watch Comedy Central for some tips.
(on preview, agree with TehUnderpants above)
Apparently Joel isn't the only person to become conservative as a reaction to college liberals.
creators describe the program as a hybrid of "The Daily Show" and "Saturday Night Live's" "Weekend Update."
Whoa! So, it's like a fake news show crossed with a fake news show! Holy shit! How come nobody else thought of that?!
*pops some Oxycontin*
*watches YouTube link*
*laughs maniacally*
Fundamentalists can't do comedy. It has something maybe to do with being too busy with the axe-grinding to appreciate a good laugh. True for lefties and righties, both.
MonkeyFilter: That sucked so much my ears popped.
better edgy than wiggy
The Lord Jesus shall smite you to Hell, sinner!!
Ha! Ha!
And now these messages.
What th - ?? Sorry GramMa, that was for StoryBored. How'd you sneak in there like that?
*checks under Preview button*
Fundamentalists can't do comedy.
Nor can they do music. The worst music in the world is the contemporary Christian format.
JESUS IS MY BOYFRIEND! YEAH YEAH YEAH!
Barf.
*joins chorus of barfdom*
Jesus is your boyfriend? He's got that long hair, those soulful eyes, and that smokin' hawt anorexic body. Wow, that's way cool.
Actually, Jesus should leave you and become a runway model.
Jesus wouldn't last one day in the supermodel world.
They'd crucify him.
*checks under Preview button*
You must be haloosinatin'
You do realize you're going to hell in a fabulous outfit, goetter?
Jesus is now bigger than the Beatles.
and they don't take no guff from no POINTY-HEADED INTELLECTUALS. So their idea of comedy is all variations on saying THIS IS HOW IT SHOULD BE, AND YOU'RE STUPID! IN YOUR FACE!
Wait - that's also my commentary style on this website.
What ... what are you saying?
> Coulter & Limbaugh Introduce 1/2 Hour News Hour.
Maybe people who make their living on mean-spirited snark find it difficult to manage the levity required for humorous delivery? In any case, they were both awful.
Whatever happened to PJ O'Rourke? He's quite funny.
Maybe they should get Jeremy Clarkson on ... he's a conservative who thinks he is funny ... but isn't.
PJ O'Rorke was funny until he made the same joke eight million times
starmodel.
