I almost wish I could get Fox News because I would watch Gutfeld bomb on live TV every night. I feel like they're going to pull this show before the end of the week just out of sheer embarrassment.

Re: Comedy...stand-up and otherwise...
The CNN bit is funny, but not great that they already used it on Day 1 and Day 2 (along with the stupid Brian Williams bit). Honestly, who is the intended audience for this show? He's trying to come off as young and hip (with a lot of weed references to boot), but that's not who mostly watches Fox.
Totally Kafkaesque

Gotta say it takes some mighty big balls to casually joke about your mom finding weed in your sock drawer (presumably while you were on vacation in the Hamptons) while at the same time taking the other 23.5 hours of your daily programing making sure we know that the last black guy a white cop choked to death had a dime bag on him or a prior for smoking a joint.

Exactly. It's an interesting take. I guess Fox is trying to attract more younger viewers?BSF21 wrote: ↑Wed Apr 07, 2021 2:04 pm Gotta say it takes some mighty big balls to casually joke about your mom finding weed in your sock drawer (presumably while you were on vacation in the Hamptons) while at the same time taking the other 23.5 hours of your daily programing making sure we know that the last black guy a white cop choked to death had a dime bag on him or a prior for smoking a joint.

Re: Comedy...stand-up and otherwise...
Conan's last week on TBS is off to a rousing start. I'll admit to not watching much of this version of his show as I had the NBC show(s), but I've always enjoyed his stuff and watched pretty much from the very start when I was a high schooler. Longer versions of the last week, plus "Best Of" clips on his website.
How do you all get your death notices since I left?

He's not wrong though. It's like what I was saying throughout the whole Trump presidency with CNN. They loved that he was president because they could run with his bullshit constantly because it brought eyeballs.
Oh, and it's always great when the mainstream media picks up shit like this trying to paint him into a corner. He does a twice a week podcast where he talks to himself and says silly shit all the time trying to entertain.

Nothing more hilarious than Johnnie railing against fascist pieces of shit while simultaneously giving passes to Boston fascist pieces of shit he personally likes like Joe Rogan, Bill Burr and Bill Simmons.

Re: Comedy...stand-up and otherwise...
Fuck Bill Burr. CNN is far from ideal, but when one normalizes Fox News by lumping them in with MSNBC and CNN and saying they’re all one bad batch, well that’s ignoring the real difference of the scumbags at Fox (and OANN and NewsMax) from mainstream news sources.
"What a bunch of pedantic pricks." - sybian
Re: Comedy...stand-up and otherwise...
Yes, he is wrong. He's misrepresenting his argument by ignoring context. CNN may have loved the reality a bad actor as president meant $ to their bottom line, but Fox, OAN and NewsMax fucking fomented a seditious insurrection. They carried the water of a man who actively subverted the pillars of the United States' institutions, including its military, state department, et al.Johnnie wrote: ↑Sat Jul 17, 2021 12:31 am D'ohhhh Jeeezzzus.

This is like your hot take about military being rightfully up in arms about being against vaccinations. It's just...off.

Re: Comedy...stand-up and otherwise...
You clearly don't listen to enough Bill Burr to have enough context. He rails against the media. He rails against politicians. He rants about literally everything.
Ultimately, someone was bored in aggregator land and took 1 rant about Trump and CNN and decided to get clicks.
And you clearly don't understand that ALL FEDERAL EMPLOYEES - MILITARY AND NOT - cannot be be forced to take the vaccine until it's FDA approved.
How tough is this for you?

Johnnie, it's not tough at all. Bill Burr is a just another edgelording piece of shit. You know it. We all know it.

Second, you were here months ago bemoaning on behalf of your fellow soldiers who (rightly) would deny their vaccines. When all of us were wondering if it was OK to 'do what it takes to get in line' as the prerequisites to obtain the vaccine began to shrink, you were here championing your fellow soldiers who would tell the vaccinating aggressors to fuck the hell off.
The last bit I took liberty, but your message was clear..

Re: Comedy...stand-up and otherwise...
Hard fucking eyeroll on your Burr take. Ok, man. Whatever you say.
And look at how many months it has been and the topic of forcing only the military part of federal employees to get the vaccine isn't news anymore. Almost like it wasn't news to begin with.
But please, keep carrying on with your bullshit.

But, but, but Burr is a fascist right-wing MAGA chud! It's almost as if the far-left wingnuts and media jump all over comedians for one joke without actually knowing what they believe or stand for or talk about the other 99% of the time.

They're coming after Tom Segura! Because he mocked "retarded" by substituting with "extra 21st chromosome."
These people bitching about it are acting retarded.The petition urges the streaming giant to “remove the anti-down syndrome rhetoric from the show,” “take the anti-disability sketch out of the trailer for the show,” and “issue a public apology for perpetuating hate speech and stereotype to the Down Syndrome community”.

Re: Comedy...stand-up and otherwise...
disagree hard. You turned it off before possibly one of the greatest closing stories i've ever seen, and i laughed a lot during the special. There is so much undercurrent and subtext and facial expression it was just....art.

Re: Comedy...stand-up and otherwise...
I assume Standup is one of the hardest performance arts out there. Very few standups have decades of success. The greats end up chasing movies and tv. They just don't have the same need/desire/lack of riches that drives great writing. It is just easier to do a movie career then grind every night to get a great set built (that is then started over when you get it on TV/streaming).
The ones who never really "sell out" and keep exercising have a shot (Brian Regan, Bob Marley, etc) seem to know the craft, but are not the fame/monetary successes of great standups Eddie Murphy, etc. Even Gaffigan's stuff has fallen off since he has done more TV.
I also blame podcasting and twitter.

Re: Comedy...stand-up and otherwise...
Not much selling necessary to check out a Dave Chappelle special. Even if you're offended he tends to come from a reasonable place with a purpose in mind from what I've seen of more recent material.
Re: Comedy...stand-up and otherwise...
Wife watched it last night and I listened mostly. I laughed. Didn't quite understand the last story... Something about comedians. Anyway that NPR guy is just a black man scared to get fired because of Jewish people. Lame actually. The guy made jokes about Clifford the big black nigger, but space Jews is too far? Idiot. Pretty funny hardly classic.
