WTF?

skysidhe · 09-21-2010, 08:41 AM

I don't think this thread was suppose to be funny but I'm laugh'n.

classicman · 09-21-2010, 11:11 AM

me too - that was a pretty funny post.
The best part is that video has been around for like a year+
and suddenly it seems to draw so much fire.

Happy Monkey · 09-21-2010, 11:32 AM

What does he do that you view as arrogant?

jinx · 09-21-2010, 11:36 AM

His comedy style is almost entirely "Look at those morons doing stupid shit" and making a funny face. I'm not saying he's not funny, I'm just saying he's as funny as Rush is all fired up.

Happy Monkey · 09-21-2010, 11:51 AM

Do you also view "America's Funniest Home Videos" as arrogant?

jinx · 09-21-2010, 12:00 PM

Oh please.

Happy Monkey · 09-21-2010, 12:09 PM

Then what does he do that you view as arrogant? Making fun of people who do stupid stuff isn't apparently quite it.

jinx · 09-21-2010, 12:14 PM

Yes, it is.
You can disagree, but comparing americas funniest home videos is retarded. It's not political and it's laughing with, not at.

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?

xoxoxoBruce · 09-21-2010, 12:43 PM

Humorous is subjective, that's the rub.

I didn't intend to imply objectively humorous; just intent to be humorous. I haven't found much of Dennis Miller's recent comedy particularly humorous, but I would consider his act to be "humorous political commentary".
