While I applaud the effort the humor is mostly Leno and Letterman monolouge class which I find weak.

Although the current love affair with Barak Obama does remind me of some of John Stewarts more fawning interviews of celebrities and politician’s. Stewart is a genious, genuinely funny and valuable insight into the mostly liberal mind. In that way the Daily Show is very valuable.

This show needs work.

I think this new Fox show is great.  Here’s why:
The Daily Show and Colbert Report (DSCR) are comedy shows that satire mainstream news television.  This new Fox show is a satirical response to that.  So what we’re all basically looking at is “The 1/2 Hour News Hour” as a parody of a parody of mainstream television news.  Or, depending on your picture of the media in this country, “The 1/2 Hour News Hour” is a parody of a parody of a parody (Fox News) of mainstream television news.  I know, it’s so post-modern I want to vomit in my soup.  Simply put, how does Fox expect to have a good comedy program that is two-to-three generations removed from the original idea?  Now is the time, more than ever, to throw away your TV. - TheEnd

OMG!  BO?  Are you kidding? (That was a rhetorical question, since this show proves that it is impossible for Fox News to produce anything funnier than their regular programming schedule).  Nice, natural readings of the cue cards, too.

Its pathetic, they get two comedians to try and replace Stewart, and they aren’t even close…

I got a chuckle out of BO, but only the name…

But in there defense, they don’t have as much material to work with…

Laughed harder at the comments than the clip!

Canned laughter?
Yep. We need to remember right wingers can’t laugh (or do anything else) unless given instructions to do so ...

Not fair to compare this strange thing to “This hour has 22 minutes”. Sometimes that IS funny!

Also not fair to compare this strange thing with “Miss Landers’ 7th graders” I applaud any 7th grader who can produce an infomercial!

Interesting how they had to resort to a parody on ADVERTISING to present their “humor” huh? Seems these guys can’t identify with anything else. Or maybe they just know their viewers can’t identify with anything else. Kinda sad, actually.

Anyway, nothing there to make me run right to the phone and get FOX back on my line-up. I get quite enough of ‘em from you guys.

Thanks.

Besides, if I really want right-wing humor, I can always watch c-span. That way I get the real McCoy!

Wow...that was really awful...and I can laugh at Democrats just as easily as I can at Republicans.  Like when someone said that Gerry Brown’s problem was that he “never exhaled.” Now that’s pretty funny.  But this stuff is pretty embarassing.  And why have a crowd if the laughter is canned?  Yikes.

Who besides the KKK would find this mindless banter humorous?

It is about what I would expect from the Fox Noise Channel.  Unfunny and inaccurate.

That’s too bad because, for our country’s sake, the left needs fun poked at it just as much as the right does.  It is really quite important that all idiocies are exposed, no matter who makes them. 

Fortunately, the Jon Stewart and his “Daily Show” are actually quite good at doing precisely that. Pompous lefties get skewered quite often.  It is doubtful though that Fox, the official PR department for the Bush Administration, would ever be an equal opportunity insulter.

It’s STEWART...John STEWART!  Gah!

Oh come on! It had funny moments! What, liberals are above satire? Sure, not as sophisticated as the Daily Show or the Colbert Report, but then they’re just beginners and the material they have to work with isn’t nearly as rich.

What are they thinking?  Right wingers don’t know how to do humor, because not a one of them HAS a sense of humor.  Their idea of humor (like when Rush Limbaugh chortled over a skit on his show which depicted Bill and Hillary Clinton conspiring to Murder Vince Foster - yuck, yuck.) is ad hominem rhetoric.  Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert simply let the fools expose themselves by their own words and actions.  And how in the world did they think Ozzie and Harriet could match the wit and IRONY (look it up in the dictionary, right wingers) of Stewart and Colbert?  I guess it was funny though, because you could hear the crew laughing.

This sounds like a rip-off the old canadian show: “This hour has 22 minutes”. On top of it being a blatant plagiarising attempt, it sucks because the laughter sounds very orchestrated. Its sad that a fiction channel lik Fox (they gave us Prison Break and O’Reilly) cant make better content.

i’m not laughing...but then the nazi’s weren’t really a barrel full of laughs either.

rupert murdoch should go back to australia and take bush and cheney with him.

So not funny.  That was the worst canned laughter since Emeril’s sitcom.  The delivery was painful. Nickelodian levels of skill.

There is no greater comedy than the truth, itself. And that is precisely why the Daily Show works and this show doesn’t. The former lets the lunacy of reality speak for itself. This one just looks to insult and push an agenda.

What’s the over-under on how long this show will run? I’m giving it 3 months.

Felt like I was watching an infomercial produced by Miss Landers’ 7th graders.

This proves that you can only laugh at conservatives, not with them.

I like the canned laughs…

Who was it that said: “There is no such thing as Comedy truth is the funniest thing of all” I want to thank God and Fox&Friends;/Bush/Kramer for revealing themselves so effortlessly. After Katrina you would the think Fox/Bush writers would reach for some other material. I also resent Fox/Bush trying to produce a Samantha Bee/Jon Steward “type” Not cool. First those two Fox types have no talent and aren’t funny.  Jon Steward has history and credibility in the Comedy Club Circuit and Samantha Bee is flat out hilarious!  Who are those two clowns? no one knows in the Comedy circuit.  Advise to Fox? Stick to what you do best.  O’Reilly, Hannity, Lies, Propoganda, Fear, Anxiety, Racism, after all it’s only been a short while before Katrina/Kramer gave people of colour the finger.

Wow...that is really not the least bit funny.  In fact, knowing the intent behind it, its plain nausiating.  Stewart and Colbert are genuine commedians who are poking fun at the pure ludicricy of the political situation in the country, and the lines of tripe the government and FOX are trying to make us swallow.  To try and counter them with a partisan equaual is simply shallow and has no soul whatsoever.  These idiots at FOX think the appeal of the Daily Show and Colbert Report is partisanship.  Just like they are on nearly every other subject, they’re way wrong.  The appeal of the DS & CR is that they’re funny.  These people are so threatened by Colbert and Stewart, and to watch them sweat about it is grand amusement in itself.  They don’t what the hell to do to counter humor.  The O’Reiley and Geraldo clips are priceless!

Please, FOX run this, and frequently. It will only serve to expose and cement republicans as bigots. That deep down, we all know you really are.

More effective straight from the horse’s err....mouth. Than a entire roomful of us “far left radical liberals” could ever hope to do!

Thanks!

Struck me that they’re trying to be a “Saturday RIGHT Live” and they’re about as funny as SNL is now. Which is not very. But right-wingers don’t have much of a sense of humour, except for the “Three Stooges,” laugh-at-someone-slipping-on-a-banana-peel-variety. And nigger jokes. They DO love their nigger jokes. I expect we’ll have lots of them on this show. Glad you’re watching it so I don’t have to. Not that I could get it down here anyway.

Isn’t basically every news show Fox does fictionalized? I’d basically sworn off the entire network until I heard about ‘The Winner.’ First, it features a guy named Glen Abbott, who’s played by Rob Corddry from “the Daily Show” which really ought to be all I need to say. Second, he’s an awkward, late-blooming (read: middleaged) gentleman who is finally growing up-it makes me feel better about myself right now. God, I’m glad I’m a woman-at least my future has cats...lots of cats. I can’t wait until it premiers March 4.

That guy doing that commercial, is the guy in the
advertisement, trying to convince a girl that a
harley sitting at the curb is his, until the real
owner,( a female) come’s and take off with it. He
must be a repuke, lying as usual.

Is that a laugh track they’re using? I guess they’d almost have to…

One thing I really like about the Daily Show is how Jon Stewart isn’t reading cue cards like the clown they hired to do this moronic wingnut show. That’s because Jon Stewart can actually speak intelligently about current events, a surely foreign concept to the right-wing propaganda whores.

They just don’t get it....at all.

This is an insult to the so called ‘liberal’ Colbert and Daily shows.  It appears they are going for one liners ala the tonight show with no concept other than to - what - illustrate their insecurity by making fun of someone without diving into real issues?  Boring and unfunny writing delivered by uninteresting bad actors. I’ve heard O’Reilly describe viewers of Colbert and Daily Show as ‘young people who do drugs and don’t know what’s going on’.
Well Bill & Fox: I’m 50, haven’t smoked pot since high school, study the issues from as many sides as I can find, and one of the few things that calm me and make me laugh is watching those so called ‘liberal comedy’ shows.  Another thing, Colbert and Daily wouldn’t be funny if I wasn’t up on current events, but now that I think of it, this new right wing Fox show might be funny to insecure follower types on drugs.
