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

The best part is that video has been around for like a year+
and suddenly it seems to draw so much fire.

If'n you're not with us, you're against us, eh? Ironic.

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.

morethanpretty · 09-21-2010, 12:14 PM

Stewart makes fun of both Republicans and Democrats. Probably why he has such a huge moderate base. His views tend to be moderate, there is NO moderation to Limbaugh. If he were the opposite of Limbaugh then he'd be purely wacko left since Limbaugh is a wacko right. Making fun of stupid shit in the media (all news programs altho primarily Fox) and politics does not make him arrogant. You're also completely forgetting about The Daily Show's writers, although Jon Stewart is the face, he is not the entirety of the show.
Rush Limbaugh is purported as a serious commentator, Jon Stewart says himself that he is JUST A COMEDIAN. How is that arrogant? He will also admit to mistakes, will admit he does not know everything, and that he could be wrong about a certain point. That is the opposite of arrogance.

Pico and ME · 09-21-2010, 12:14 PM

What about other comedians? Is Bill Maher arrogant too? Lewis Black?

Or how about the only right-wing comedian out there- Dennis Miller. Is he arrogant too?

jinx · 09-21-2010, 12:16 PM

I prefer Louis CK to any of the above.
Funny how politically polarizing Stewart the comedian is.

morethanpretty · 09-21-2010, 12:19 PM

IMHO, comparing Jon Stewart to Rush Limbaugh is retarded. Jon Stewart and Rush both use politics/current events for material for their show, but the mediums and presentation style are completely different. Jon Stewart and AFV both use comedy and slapstick, just different subject matter. So sure, you can compare those 2 shows just as well as Rush and Jon compare.

jinx · 09-21-2010, 12:21 PM

Which SIDE are you on if you don't like AFV?
