Rejoice! A FoxGnaws "Daily Show"!

apparently, you have.

Sorry! Until you asked I actually had no idea so I did a bit of googling.

I see your quest to be a moron is going well. Found the Helm of Brain Damage yet?

Yes, everything they do ultimately has to have a bottom line. That doesn’t invalidate anything I said, or indeed what they said, about why they want to run with this angle.

Wow, add in some observations from Beetle Bailey, and you guys will be right on the cusp of hip modern comedy.

Parker and Stone as left-skewing conservative comedians? Don’t tell me you forgot That’s My Bush! already.

Wait a minute. I thought Dennis Miller was supposed to be the conservative answer to The Daily Show.

That didn’t work out?

He used too many big words. Didn’t exactly mesh with the target audience.

The South Parkers didn’t lampoon Bush, they lampooned the television sitcom format.

I present: the conservative Daily Show:

The America Show

I suspect you were just joking, but make sure you take a look at the Miller You Tube clip that was linked to earlier in the thread. When Miller was funny (and when he was funny he was hands down my favorite comic around), part of the fun was the roller coaster ride of hip cultural subreferences, seeing which you got, which you didn’t and how he might take something seemingly far afield and turn it into a hilarious metaphor.

But if you look at that clip, they’ve taken his stuff and added in video and audio cues to help people with no fucking clue what he’s talking about to “get” the joke. If there was any way to make modern day Dennis Miller less funny, it was to pause every other line so that we could see a clip from Rain Man or Being There so that his present audience can go “Oh, yeah. Now I get it.”

If the audience doesn’t get it on their own, it won’t be funny when they get the educational A/V bolus.

Anyone else find it amusing that Dennis Miller was trying to paint Pelosi as stupid, and closed by saying that she was like someone who couldn’t open a ladder “his or herself.” Hisself? Yeah, that Pelosi is an idiot, you genius wordsmith you.

As for his weak attempt to give equal criticism to Hastert - yikes! Denny Hastert is fat? That’s your big comedic observation? Man, that must be why you make the big bucks. Dennis, do us here in the 'burgh all a favor and keep your unfunny Bush-blowing self far, far away. You suck. You suck more that a fluffer at a gay porn production of Godspell.

Wow. That was really, Really bad. The fox show can only look good in comparison. At least with the fox show you might be able to actually Hear the “jokes.” And come on, Michel Moore fat jokes? Whats next, a Clinton BJ joke…, whoops, spoke to soon.

I just watched that clip. I cannot believe it is genuinely meant to be funny. Is this actually a left-wing plot to discredit conservatives?

Give PJ O’Rourke and Christopher Hitchens a show. That would work.

Alcoholics Unanimous?

Why would we bother, when the conservatives are doing a fine job of that on their own? :slight_smile:

UUUUUggggggggggghhh!

Now that is Komedy folks!

Which was worse, the cheap ass panning of the family video camera, the terrible dialogue, or the craptacular delivery?

Wow I have old home movies and tape cassettes of my “news antics” at age 10 that have better production values and laughs (And lord believe me they are painful too)

I wish this was Fox’s answer I really do.
