If you don't agree with what someone says, they must be arrogant, right?

Their audiences are very different generationally.

Does anyone really like AFV anymore? Hasn't youtube kinda usurped it anyway?
I guess there could still be old people who don't know much about youtube and watch AFV...

My new favorite is Greg Warren. I just saw him in Indy at the Bob and Tom Comedy All Star Tour. He does a really funny bit about 1 star people in 4 star hotels.

Jinx, my point is that I find that I don't care for right-wing comedians...I find them arrogant...I really hate Dennis Miller. (Actually his style comes off as hateful to me) So it just makes me wonder if that is why you dont like Stewarts political humor, because its not your politics.

eta: I use to like Dennis Miller.

Bill Maher is arrogant as all hell.

Dennis Miller seems arrogant but actually is not.

Jon Stewart is not arrogant.

Arrogance is one of the primary qualities of the character Rush Limbaugh has refined.

Same is true for Stephen Colbert.

There is ZERO comparison between AFV and either of them. It is not political in any way.
That has to be the stupidest comparison made here in a loooong time.

Stephen Colbert's arrogance is satire.

There is ZERO comparison between Jon Stewart and Rush, Rush is not a comedian in anyway.

Thats what I think too, but Jinx is characterizing him as merely 'outraged', which gives it a whole different angle.

What are my politics? As far as I know, I've got some from both sides...
Really, I just don't like infotainment in general. Takes the funny out of it for me. I say "arrogant" because as much as conservative like to be told they are morally correct, liberals like to be told they are smarter than conservatives. I just see the Daily Show as catering to that.

Are we saying Tom Bergeron AFV is arrogant, or Bob Saget AFV?

Because I always thought Bob Saget was like the Rush Limbaugh of Jon Stewarts.

:lol:

:rotflol:

So it's more arrogant to make fun of politicians (and other celebrities) than non-celebrities? Is it that the AFV entries were sent in (laugh with vs laugh at; let me know if you meant something else by that)? Politicians live in public. They may not always like that someone outside of their intended audience hears a particular stupid thing they say, but not every AFV subject is the one who sent in the video.

Stewart is the "anchor" of his "news" show. He doesn't play an overt character like Colbert, or like his "reporters" or "experts" do on their segments, so he doesn't do satire along the lines of "A Modest Proposal"; he does humorous political commentary. Do you consider humorous political commentary inherently arrogant?

The Daily Show makes fun of BOTH sides of the aisle. How is it catering to liberals if its makes fun of them?
