I laugh myself sick almost every time I watch that show. One of my favorite shows on tv right now.

I've found that the people astute enough to pick up on the clever jokes find it funny. The dimwits who can't detect that kind of humor find it boring or offensive.

:sigh:

Maybe they just don't like the political theme of the show? Because you deem the show funny all others who don't are automatically dimwits? it would be an improvement if you toned it down to arrogant bastard.

OP, here is a short to-do list for you:

1. Extract stick out of ass.
2. Learn some grammar.
3. Edit title of thread.
4. Get a sense of humor.
5. Watch "The Daily Show."
6. Laugh.

A sense of humor is required for you to the the show funny. Most of the people who don't like it either don't have a sense of humor, and don't understand enough basics about politics.

I've never seen an episode yet where I haven't laughed through at least half of it.

I've been watching the Daily Show since the Kilbourne days. I love it, but its hit or miss with me. It averages out to where i get a few chuckles from each episode.

And they do make fun of everything, and it may be tasteless, very tasteless with some segments. But thats what they do. It's a fresh outlet from the same news on eveyr other channel.

According to Neilsons this is true. The average education of a Comedy Central/Daily Show viewer is higher than that of Fox.

You have to be intelligent at least in the sense that you know/understand world news/happenings. This doesn't surprise me at all because all of my stupid friends don't like it and all of my smart (and usually older) friends do.

hippie- A person who opposes and rejects many of the conventional standards and customs of society, especially one who advocates extreme liberalism in sociopolitical attitudes and lifestyles

douche- An instrument for applying a douche.


Seems to fit pretty well :confused: I've tried to watch the show a couple times, but I have a very low douche thresh-hold.

So because his opinions differ from your's, not only is he a hippie, but he's also a douche? It's immature dumbfvcks like you that the show is NOT aimed at. I'm glad too, one of the few shows on television that I don't have to worry about the mainstream watching so it has to get toned down.

Both of your definitions fail to apply to the Daily Show. You might try buying a douche for yourself. It will make short work of the sand in your vagina.

No, he's a hippie because he's a communist piece of crap. But yes, his opinions differing from mine does make him a douche.

The show is aimed at people who eat up anything that isn't mainstream just because it's different, whether it's funny, or entertaining, or not.

Oh yeah, nice flame. Just because my opinions differ from yours I'm an immature dumbfuck?

I'm no longer going to discuss this with you. If you know so fvcking much go make your own television show. Ever think that maybe the mainstream (much like you're starting to sound) is just too stupid to be able to look at it and just laugh? It's not a serious news show, as you would know if you read about/saw him on Crossfire.

I'm done though, have a good life thinking you know everything there is to know and that all those who oppose your views are communists.

You sporadically amaze me with the depths of your stupidity. The guy is a millionaire, not a communist, Mr. Wallywingnut.

1. You didn't get it.
2. IIRC, this forum is INTERNATIONAL(can you believe it, there are people OUTSIDE of the US!) so not everyone has perfect English grammar.
3. Why?
4. Yeah, too bad I don't find a suicid bombing funny!
5. Nah, thanks, might be funny on ocassion but the part I saw wasn't.
6. At you.

Is that true or just a dismissive insult. It would be really funny if true.
