What in the world was Fox News thinking?

[TheUberAtheist]

Fucking canned laughter...

[jaroncreed]

i stopped it at 2:16 these jokes are so fucking lame if i heard another one i would shoot myself in the face, once again Fox fails terribly

[jonghi5646]

Had moments. Foxs biggest mistake was making a 30-minute show. Better if they broke into 5-minute segments, would have grabbed the "sound bite" audience.

If was a short segment, bashed Bush /conservatives and on NBC, it would be called SNL Weekend Update. Critics would think show was "cutting edge" & "hilarious".

For the record SNL Weekend Update hasn't been funny in decades.

Comedians whose entire existence/popularity is "Bush is stupid" jokes bore me.

[GstateBALLER925]

yeah "the 1/2 hour news hour" was so terrible and hard to watch. fox news only does good comedy with their regular shows... but this was an intentional one. how pathetic.

[Sweepersucksballs]

@GstateBALLER925 I WANTED TO SMASH THE TV WHEN I SAW THIS VERY UNFUNNY!

[JediLuckySeven]

Sooooo, why is it that you liberals hate FOX news more than you hate the terrorists? Hmm?

[shorttam23]

Because fox news hosts are terrorists.

[TheEZPAXIIChannel]

@shorttam23 OHOHAHAHAHAHAHA

[seeburg220]

Those were some real thigh-slappers...NOT ! Save your brain sells, it's not funny.

[karhu1913]

I cant watch this, it hurts.

[myshieldmysword]

eh wasnt that funny

[drummer9699]

The anchors must feel dirty after every show.

Is this cancelled yet? It's terrible.

[frellthat]

It was canceled after the first couple of episodes.

[evilblades]

6 degrees of global warming was fun though

[tmsbry]

at least the daily show is funny

[Nas163]

So...CNN have Jon Stewart..and he bashed 99% of the time conservatives and Bush..so when the conservatives do the same with liberals its not okey?.. well..u guys are really balanced then.. idiots.

[frellthat]

Jon Stuart is on Comedy Central, not CNN. x_x

[johnsocal23]

Comedy Central is very liberal if you haven't noticed.

[Idolhands7007]

@johnsocal23 no....they're just not radically right.

[MooseOfReason]

This is like Weekend Update, but stupid.

[MKB2814]

The other daily 23.5 hours of Fox is much funnier.

Now that the show's over, the "hosts of this abomination are hopefully doing a term in Iraq

[Zoober0001]

wow nice copy of this hour has 22mins steal canadian tv shows much fox?

[w0033944]

Wonderously, dreadfully crummy.

[Verdux]

Grotesque and unfunny

[hillsongchick]

rofl

[starvingartist94]

these people just are not funny

[Carlitos1010]

Wow.

[Polak5]

This is FOX's idea of balanced? Why don't they make fun of Bush then. Even when Clinton was president John Stewart made fun of him endlessly.

[crazyforfood]

wow fox news just got a whole lot sadder man when will they just give this up THEY ARE NOT NEWS

[PiOfFive]

Wait, some of the best stuff was cut out...

[PiOfFive]

Hilarious!

[tbeezy1]

wow... horrible.. and if you think The Daily show is left wing show to bash republicans you're stupid

[JTKIRKNCC1701]

watch the liberals start calling names.....as we all know the liberal position is always short sided

[CorpoRage]

Short sighted. Hee hee.

[JTKIRKNCC1701]

tom delay did not do anything wrong by the law. accused wrongly by liberals. duke lacross team falsely accused by a liberal. Last year no hurricans. immagration bill stopped and now they want to pull ahugo chavez and shut down conservative speech. They wont go on fox news because they won't answer the tough questions..... Check out how modern liberals think by even sayet here on youtube and enlighten yourself.

[sk8rdc]

Terrible rip off of the Daily Show...The Daily Show has been said to contain about as much content as a standard news channel but with more appeal. This has neither. But it's like the poster said...Fox News was a comedy all along...lets all laugh at Fox News!

[qantmrckr]

Personally, I'm not a fan of the Dems or the Republicans because both have a high percentage of corruption. But I must admit...FoX programming is the most pathetic example of rhetoric. At least Olbermann appears to have some integrity with his commentaries.

[shulaces]

HA HA HA THIS IS O FUNNY HA HAH AH AH AH AHA HAH.....kill me

[leobsessed]

the global warming part was plain stupid.

[beatsforthemind]

lame shit.

[darwinsGate]

I don't know what is funnier, the satire or the humorless liberal responses here. Lighten up, Francis!

[womanunderground]

Yes, lets all laugh at globel warming... what an unfunny piece of crap.

[eddunbar]

global warming is sure funny ha ha ha

[iceberg63871]

.........................what?­

[SirDude]

Wow, there's no creativity here. It's just SNL's weekend update without the comedy.

Horrible, horrible crap.

[spritzer]

I love this show SOOO much. Liberals always get the spotlight with shows like this and its about time conservatives get a change to use the media.

[beatsforthemind]

you are dumb, truly.

[adi87tya]

here's the problem: these guys have a political agenda. The Daily Show doesn't, and therefore it's pure satire. therefore these guys will never be funny

[methusehlah]

How can you say that? Everyone is biased, this show just levels the playing field. Remember, the 1st Ammendment protects speech you hate.

[RachTrinity]

It's calles satire. If this was CNN or MSNBC bashing Bush (which they do nightly!) you would all be laughing yourself silly. Jon Stewart ring a bell?? Oh lighten up..It is funny..LOVE IT!!!

[ben030103]

this is just a pity..

[ninjakitty21]

global warming is actually a problem, making fun of the environmentalists for wanting to help the planet is just tactless. what happened to fair and balanced?

[panterastang]

all you people fighting over which side is right... its so sad, there is NO left/right, its just how the ellite confuse and control you....wake up

[panterastang]

dance puppet dance....

[Octorod]

Dire.

[foxybrown323]

This wasn't funny... might want to take a second from spinning everything to actually write a joke that more then 3% of the public agrees with. Stupid

[oddjob29]

this is beyond lame. yes... hannity's america. haha... not if I can help it!

[boyboy142]

In the elitist right wing circles do they think that eating out of a dumpster is illegal and cause for arrest?

[3swoosh2]

goptta hand it to the fox minitruth,. their lies come in all shapes, sizes, forms and flavors.

[BillyMahoneyIRA]

This is the worst shit I've ever seen in my life. If you want laughs fox news just stick with the O'riely factor. Please don't ever fucking try to make a comedy show again. My god, my god.

[nairbachilles]

Something is wrong with this show. It's not funny! The timing is off... the flow is off... It's like jokes for Business Men.

[ZeBates]

I've said it before and I'll say it again....Fuck Fox News!

[PalaniRides]

Holy Shit. Fox News even lies in their parodies. The Fairness Doctrine is not about silencing Conservatives. It's about providing balance.

The faux forced laughter is the worst part of it all. It's almost as bad as paying audience members to sit through it, as was the case with the erstwhile Dennis Miller show at MSNBC.

[MUSKETT30]

I've seen bad SNL skits better then this.

[FruJuaholic]

well i thought it was pretty funny. though i didn't understand half of it, not living in the usa and everything

[MrGreenGenes]

Holy fuck this IS SAD.

[gull31]

no you are not right. actually republicians as genıous as like mr. bush (son of bush). god bless us from bushs, please

[nybatterixx]

wow, fox is pretty desperate.

[SalvatoreFeragamo]

typical republicans stupid untalented uncreative ignorant pink-mother-fuckers

[sheepwshotguns]

that was one of the worst insults to freedom ive ever seen...

[danielbardouh]

i challenge somebody to point out one difference between this and the o'reily factor

[Vick0077]

Exactly what I was thinking. I thought this was pretty funny actually and better than Jon Stewart

[PavDaGreek]

Stewart attacks hypocracy on both sides (or did you never watch before GWB took office). R's are in power these days and get most attacks. Stewart is witty, this is lame, misleading, and unbalanced.

[PalaniRides]

I actually watch the O'Reilly Factor for the laughs also.I just can't help wonder what kind of moron buys into his shit and has such a short memory? It's no wonder Fox News is the joke that it is.

[petemolloy250]

I want the Daily Show... PLEASE DONT MAKE ME WATCH THIS SHOW AGAIN!

[MartySchrader]

This was Fox's attempt to be funny? Oy. They have a long, long way to go.

[BlackKingX]

*annoying laugh track*

AHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHA!

[Whimsicology]

That's what I thought too. There's one extra-obnoxiously loud laugher in there that just stands out enough to pierce my annoyance tolerance barrier.

[BlackKingX]

No. It really is a laugh track.. It has been confirmed as not being real.

[jbitar07]

wow ... bad!

[RoyalPneumothorax]

Not funny... in so many ways. Kinda sad actually. Preety lady though.

[illbeats]

This is just not funny. It is a pure rip off of Daily show, and colbert report.  But done badly. Real badly.

[sakuteemu]

I understand that the right wants a comedy show because most of the comedy shows are from the left and making fun of them, but come on. This is not even a little funny. I am no fan of Dennis Miller, but at least he is funny. Even Red Neck tv was funny sometimes. But this...

[Patorr6]

miserableee...

[Barth3zzz]

Good lord, that is horrible...

[tbrown52]

I'm not sure if I've actually seen a larger pile of shit, and I've seen an elephant take a huge shit into an existing pile of shit.

[nikeswooshguy]

Oh wow, this is just like the Daily Show... only it sucks.

[inthefade]

Holy crap. So this i a parody of... The DAILY SHOW!?

What terrible writers...

[mromanov]

wow this is sad

[fieldjaz]

worst show ever

[beachfox00a]

Lady, sitting there with a faint half smirk like Mary Tylor Moor after you say something doesn't make it a "joke". Seriously.

[muscleboundhomo]

I know for a fact Kurt McNally is a homo.

[1253mv]

The actors on this show may have committed career suicide. Propaganda is not very funny.

[dmaradona10]

Is this the Conservative answer to The Daily Show and Colbert Report? This show proves that Conservatives are all tight asses with absolutely no sense of humor.

[jackal912]

Gahahaha!!! Fox news fails.

[lifter1204]

Only a complete idiot would believe that O'silly's show is based on facts. O'silly is one of the lowest dogs around, a real propagandist who plays for the far right and the uneducated bigots that form most of his audience.

[killerspudly]

this is fucking terrible. can someone please sent the writers of this show to iraq

[simeetg]

there probably is no audience. File laugh track.

[soowt]

I'm shocked. The food court joke was funny. Absolutely everything else was trash, but they did have one funny joke. Were these "boing" noises in the original broadcast, because thats fucking pitiful.

[erik7socr]

hahaha. oh man. global warming!!! hahaha. classic.

really though, what was Fox thinking?? The Daily Show is on COMEDY Central. You're supposed to be a "News Station." You know, like with real journalism degrees and what not.

[eyesonfox]

But not nearly as annoying as all the Fox fans screaming at me accusing me of editing a video and trying to hide it.

[eyesonfox]

Tmad57, there's no tell'n the audience's race but their political persuasion is ditto-head city. A liberal getting gang raped in prison is hysterically funny to this crowd. The ACLU 'jokes' read like a Bill O'Reilly transcript. Next I expect them to run a continuous 30 minute loop of a bird crapping on Bill Clinton's head. It's the sort 'witty satire' and 'comedy' that'd leave this crowd in stitches. Pathetic.

[InspectorHound]

This isn't even funny :(

[tmad57]

I wouldnt be surprised if most if not all those people in the audience are all WHITE.

[OzPhantom]

Although I am a conservative and am very anti Left (ACLU), I believe this show made a big mistake by putting a has-been like Limbaugh on the show. And although the show is obviously not that impartial like Stewart's, Fox's new show could have received more kudos if some neo-cons were made the butt of jokes also. The jokes about the ACLU and Hillary were excellent, but leave Limbaugh the Republican stooge out of that show.

[themightylex]

Jon Stewart and SNL does a better spoof politics far better than this tripe. It's just a lot of name calling and "tongue in cheek" slander.

[buntinz]

wow balance

[chelle329]

And I forgot to add, the fact that the show needs to be explained what it is, satirical news, proves my earlier points!

[Ender1zero1]

well that was about as bad as comedy gets. Fox should keep at it with a lot of work an time it could be as funny as the rest of thier programming.

[regelemihai]

What really amuses me is when idiots like Jon Stewart ACTUALLY believe that they're funny. Nothing cracks me up more.

[HNK222]

People laugh along with Jon Stewart because he pokes a hole in the pomposity of assholes like Bush and Cheney, whereas rightwingers REVERE worthless elitist, scumbags like Bush and Cheney and think (bizarrely) that defending them by mocking those who laugh at Bush & Cheney constititutes humor.

Wingnuts think mocking people with degenerative diseases is funny (like Michael J Fox). Non-pyschopaths don't laugh at crippled people. Hence, the failure of rightwingers to be funny or know why.

[regelemihai]

What? Jon Stewart isn't funny. He merely laughs like an idiot at his own jokes. And Bush isn't a scumbag.

And since when did conservatives make fun of people's diseases?

[ronofsandiago]

limbaugh accused michael j. fox of exaggerating the effects of his parkinson's disease. talk about a scumbag.

and regarding stewart, the daily show won 5 emmys in the last 6 years and you say he's not funny? yeah right! your head's so far up your conservative ass that your brain has turned to shit and has lost all ability to comprehend what comedy is.

[regelemihai]

comedy is a matter of taste. just because it has won the affection of some americans,doesn't make it that funny. sorry....

the oreilly factor has the top rating in the newschannel world for 5 years,yet some people hate it...so,enough!

[ronofsandiago]

yeah, comedy is a matter of taste and when one's been honored by his peers with one of the highest awards in his industry year-in year-out, that speaks volumes about how good his comedy is. and you probably think that this sorry imitation of a comedy show is funnier than stewart's.

and the o'reilly factor? please! "no spin zone"? try "no fact zone". if irresponsible and often-wrong opinionated reporting is your idea of a good show then keep drinking that right-wing flavored kool aid.

[regelemihai]

maybe...i really don't care about stewart.But the Oreiily show is based on facts...you sir just like to slander ;) everything bill says are FACTS based on honest reporting(which i can't say CNN or MSNBC or BBC do).He is the nr 1 in cable newschannel when it comes to rating. so get your facts straight ;)

[ronofsandiago]

don't care about stewart, huh? i thought he was your entry to this argument and you're backing away from it now? and o'reilly's facts? let's see - nazis murdered u.s. gi's in malmedy. yeah - search for "o'reilly" and "lies" and see how many hits you get. you sir just like to slander ;) so get your "facts" straight ;)

[regelemihai]

yes..i'll get many,know why? because all the left ewing media hates him and wants to fuck him up,that's why.wise the fuck up boy!you keep chewing up the malmady stuff just like olberman LMAO...it's getting old. really old.that was not a lie,you juvenile nut!it was a mistake,he even said so himself.if you're gonna' fire with your stupid malmedy stuff over nad over and over,that'll just show how vengefull you are and childish.

[ronofsandiago]

you sound just like papa bear, all bluster and no substance - typical response from the far right. wise the fuck up billo fan boy. you keep chewing the same cud that faux news keeps feeding its flock - baaaaah! oreilly's lies are mistakes? then he's just plain irresponsible and incompetent.

[IncredibleGoliath]

What this show demonstrates is how humour must be somehow grounded in reality to work. If you just accuse Hillary Clinton outright of being a phone sex line operator, there's no joke - it's simply a personal attack. Throughout this I kept wondering how the jokes could have been rewritten to be funny instead of actually laughing.

[Dragonkickn]

TERRIBLE SHOW! How ridiculous!

[heyxluno]

Wow, not funny . . . . .

[jojothetalkingmonkey]

How exactly does this show prove Fox News is a COMEDY channel?

PS verbusen: bottom line: you sound like you still can't handle left-wing satire...

[cheeks141]

wow. That's just... horrible. I have a lot of conservative friends and I don't think even they would appreciate this.

[boobooring]

Hopefully the next show is better but this one was a flop. Sorry Fox.

[verbusen]

Bottom line, the left can dish it out with all the media they have, but they CANNOT handle satire back on it. They will forever be the losers they are. The responses here prove my point, they will approve of censorship if it does not fit their thoughts, SHAME ON YOU ALL! Oh PS there is sooo much material to use against the wimpy weak left, I LOVE THIS SHOW!

[Laxtreme8]

thank you verbussen i agree 1000%, i feel like i can watch a channel and a show with out little or big jabs from the left

[coachfun1987]

Totally wrong--The bottom line is, this show was flat out awful and unfunny. No wonder they needed a laugh-track. A live audience would've been silent...or would've walked out.

[jfuci]

You understand brother! Nice to see some people on here have a brain!

Alien Cowboy

[AustinDuderino]

The point is that Fox News claims to be a NEWS network (and a few viewers actually believe it is).

Colbert and Stewart are on Comedy Central - As Stewart said on Crossfire, "You're on CNN. The show that leads into me is puppets making crank phone calls".

[soowt]

No, I can take plenty of humor that slams the left. South Park does it all the time, and Team America did it, too. Those are funny. This is just retarded. You lose.

[ajc06]

Oh, we're "losers" after winning the largest congressional swing in US history? (even larger than the "Republican Revolution" in 1994) Your Leader is at 29%; now THAT'S a loser. If there's "sooo much material," why don't you idiots have anything better than "Hillary's a lesbian" and "Michael Moore's fat"? Lastly, how is calling this show unfunny "censorship"? Fox can show this all they want: it'll only make them even bigger laughing stocks!

[knightsun]

The broadcast of the first episode on February 18, 2007 was watched by 1,478,000 viewers.[5] The rebroadcast of the same episode on February 25 was watched by 971,000 people,[6] the most watched show on any of the cable news networks that night.[7]

The second episode received similar ratings with 1,384,000 viewers, and was the top watched show in cable news from 5pm-11pm. [8]

[AgentTelos]

Remember how the "force" was supposed to be "balanced" in Star Wars? Yeah, Fox News is the dark side...

[Laxtreme8]

why's that cause we don't like how main stream media is ruining our country

[xxblackwaterparkxx]

honest question here,in your opinion how is the mainstream media destroying the country?

[Omega8515]

That first attack against the ACLU was luducrious. The first ammendment allows unpopular speech, that means Nazis have a right to peacefully express their views despite my personal oposition. It's just sad that the ACLU is taking such flack for doing their duty and defending our constitution.

[Whimsicology]

I know. I'm curious now if any right-wingers actually believe that hate speech should not be allowed in public? If so, then they themselves might be in for it when they talk smack about homosexuals!

[Omega8515]

GOOD POINT Whimsicology

[clickmaster]

All the right wing intellectual red necks, the Daly Show and Colbert report most of the time take a real political situation in which real people do stuff and then make fun of it. Therefore this weak attempt on Fox news is not onlt disgracful but lacks logic. This show is making up fake stuff and then making fun of madeup stuff. Only dumb Right WingNuts can come up with thi crap.

[ajk70112]

The best parody on liberal thinking is the Russ Lieber (David Cross) character on the COLBERT REPORT.

This "1/2 hour newshour" is just plain bad as well as overall defensive in tone. Did they even hire any comedy writers?

[ajc06]

Russ Lieber isn't a "parody on liberal thinking," but a parody of the kinds of "liberals" that O'Reilly will have on his shows. If BillO wants to smack down a liberal, he makes sure to find the most random, inconsequential, and stereotypical "liberal" that he can find, so he can be sure that he'll win the argument, since he knows he'd lose against a truly representative liberal. Lieber's not a liberal parody, but rather an O'Reilly/Fox parody, which is the whole point of the Colbert Report.

[OzPhantom]

Hmmm, sounds like some people here don't like getting some of their own medicine back. Stewart ain't that funny all the time either. If you're Democart & liberal, you won't like this show. Period.

[lanedek]

I'm guessing your a conservative with no sense of humor. Don't worry. Most conservatives don't. If Fox News would do a comedy show like Colbert but the host would be a diehard liberal, I would find it hilarious. (Although I'm more of a moderate)

[soowt]

I'm a liberal, but I still love South Park and Team America, because when those shows go after liberals, its funny. This just plain isn't funny.

[blaynestaley]

A disgrace to humanity.

[deportem]

i think it's pretty funny.

[d1mf1n]

Very bad. Sad.

[AustinDuderino]

Seriously, if the right-wingers want to compete with the Daily Show and Colbert Report, they should start their own version of Comedy Central to air it, not show it on their supposedly legit "news" network.

The fact that they continue to hang on to their laughable "Fair & Balanced" slogan has to be getting hard for even the far-right to swallow.

Have you ever noticed... even the "Fox News" logo at the bottom of the screen spins to the right. Coincidence? - I think not.

[Omega8515]

spinning has no right/left direction, only clockwise/counterclockwise.

[AustinDuderino]

...not really the point, but...

This is not an actual three-dimentional object. It is a two-dimentional image, and it clearly goes from left to right.

[Omega8515]

the fox box is 3d. You could just as easily say it's going left.

Actually it's impossible to say whether it's going clockwise or counter clockwise cuz it's sideways.

[AustinDuderino]

This is still very off topic - nonetheless...

Yes, if this were a three dimentional object, and you could look throught it to the other side, that side viewed from the viewer's current point of view would appear to moce right-to-left...

But it's NOT an actual three dimentional object. THERE IS NO OTHER SIDE to see. What you see on the screen is all there is to it - and it moves left-to-right.

[northernstrategy]

3d does not mean it sticks out. It means it was made on a 3d rendering program.

[lanedek]

Hannity's America....HAHA.. more like Hannity's 20% of America

[oldhacks]

Will someone please take this footage and edit out the bogus laugh track so everyone can see how obvious it is?

Its fun watching the "Far Right Retards" chew their leg off to get out of the trap they set on themselves.

[stratocasterz]

devestangingly bad. Its not much different to Gibson, Cavuto or Hume's editorializing.

Jon Stewart at least bashes dems as well, where is the self deprecating humor here? this is pathetic.

[Rsd79]

This program is not that much different from any other Fox Noise program.

[gabincortezchance]

Good comedy always has at least a grain of truth. Hence, why since there is no truth here, it isn't very funny. It was actually very painful to watch. and that annoying little hee-haw boing. True Torture.

[peymon]

wow this was so bad. republicans are not very funny.
