NewsBusted Political Comedy, 106

[KenCat1337]

Fake laugh track? You need it, buddy.

Not original.

Seek different career.

[novkastelano]

Pfft... love the laugh track - he clearly can't get anybody to laugh at his shit rant.

[boredwill]

could americans be any less funny

[beak1972]

sure we could be european. idiot

[sephyr242]

oh god.... CAN'T STAND, KEYING MY SCREEN NOW

NO I'M NOT LIBERAL THIS IS JUST AWKWARD AND NOT FUNNY.

[smjm2007]

GREAT!!!!!!!! Keep up the good work

[th3soulreaper]

It isn't the greatest thing, but considering how 90% of the comedy shows are ultra-liberal and often lean on racial stereotypes, this is refreshing.

[billybadass42]

Fuckin' rules bitches.

[maddoxaom]

Terrible. None of these jokes are funny. Your punchline on the "gas prices are high" news blurb was that... Rosie & Michael Moore are carpooling to Baskin Robins. I get it. They're fat. Hilarious.

Seriously. Give up.

[dalejan1]

leave the fuuny stuff to the leftwingers they been at it longer they do it better than you neotards. If you get a chance ckeck out the nut cases that run the Whitehouse, talk about comedy they crack me up.There's plenty fodder on the left you need better writers.

[seriousartfilms]

Hey, say what you will, but the painfully obvious laugh track LOVES this guy.

[sagacioussue]

oh no the artsy fartsy snob doesn't like Newsbusted - go figure. We all need to be more serious like you. Art is very serious

[seriousartfilms]

So you LIKE the laugh track? Really?? Obviously I'm just an artsy fartsy snob who doesn't appreciate the finer points of tired liberal stereotypes... I'm just surprised someone so sagacious as yourself would be so keen on it.

[sagacioussue]

Artsy - you don't appreciate the stereotypes yet you ooze them. You made the statement and gave yourself a name consistent with the stereotypes, I didn't do that. I just noticed and called you on them and that's sagacious.

To expect a low budget podcast to have a live audience is like expecting an indie film to have all the bells and whistles of a Hollywood production.

Yes I like the laugh track; it's better than silence. When they get the money they'll use an audience.

[seriousartfilms]

I think it's safe to say that no amount of budget is gonna help this production. The mercifully killed 1/2 Hour News Hour found that out. Plenty to pick on on both sides of the political spectrum, but conservatives gotta try harder than just trying to fit the words liberal, taxes and rosie o'donnell into any given sentence if they want to get laughs that aren't prerecorded.

[seriousartfilms]

One more thing, Suzy-Q. What's this statement that I made, that oozed liberal? That the laugh track loved this guy? If you were truly sagacious, you might've noticed how your chosen username makes YOU seem sorta pompous and elitist. You America-hating, Rosie-lovin', liberal, hippy, you.

[sagacioussue]

Poor misunderstood artsy person. You know as well as I do that your statement was more than a criticism of the laugh track as proven further by your later statements.

Being perceptive is pompous and elitist? I thought liberals only required that you earn your fortune for that. From our perspective the pompous elitists are people who do little to earn their money and try to shove their beliefs down our throats through unelected channels like the media, schools, and the courts.

[seriousartspam]

Whoo! Tell it like it is, Suzy Q! Keep em comin'! This stuff is SO true. Half the country is TOTALLY like that! Hey, you got any sweeping generalizations of Jews or blacks you wanna lay on us while you're riffing?

[sagacioussue]

serious spam - what the heck are you talking about? Who is talking about half the country? Liberals don't like Capitalists; it's part of their dogma they don't deny it. Liberals do not make up anywhere near half of the country. There's a difference between a Democrat and a Liberal. I guess you wouldn't know that just like you don't know that there is a huge difference between making a sweeping generalization based on faith or race and a describing someone's political ideology.

[seriousartspam]

Ah, but see there's the rub. As it's commonly perceived, the country is divided between people who are conservative or liberal, or shades in between. Sure, there are the hippy-trippy, capitalism-hating burnouts on one end, just as there are the ultra conservatives fire-bombing abortion clinics on the other. I assume you consider yourself conservative, but more than likely you don't reek of kerosine. Creating an evil boogeyman aint helping anyone.

[sagacioussue]

"Ah, but see there's the rub" ?? Is that Ah supposed to make us think you've had an intelligent thought? You imply that what you say has something to do with what I said and it doesn't. Your strawman arguments don't fool anyone. You are the only one calling groups of people names.

I referred to you and you only as an artsy fartsy snob based on things YOU said. Creating an evil boogeyman isn't helping anyone? Duh! Tell it to those "culture of corruption"demonizing dems.

[seriousartspam]

Uh, no... THAT's supposed to be an expression, my sagacious friend (touchy, much?) And the artsy fartsy thing is actually kinda funny for reasons I won't bore you with. But if it makes it easier to think of me as a pretentious, beret-wearing Bergman enthusiast, please do. You could even read aloud my posts with a snooty French accent, if it makes it more fun.

Oh, and if you'd be so kind, can you please point out where exactly I called a group of people names, Ms Ad Hominem?

[sagacioussue]

STRAWMAN again! No one said you wore a beret, watched Bergman or had an accent. Artsy fartsy came from YOUR NAME and snob came from your CONDESCENDING statement. Who cares what you consider yourself? I'm basing what I say on what you say and call yourself right here in this moment not any other. I've responded exactly to what YOU have said. You are the one throwing unrelated things out there and putting words in people's mouths. STRAWMAN and ad hominem both describe your arguments

[sagacioussue]

Ah, the facts are,my serious friend, that you called people hippy trippy capitalism hating burnouts and others ultra conservative firebombing abortions clinics. You referred to liberals as America hating and Rosy loving, You also said that you considered someone who was perceptive to be pompous and elitist. You also implied that criticizing what a person (YOU) says is like criticizing race and religion.

[seriousartspam]

As for culture of corruption, sure, it's a politically motivated sound bite. Sorta like "cut and run" democrats. I never claimed one side was innocent. I just said creating a boogeyman, like labeling people who question what you find funny capitalism-hating, elitist, liberals, aint helping. (Perhaps you assume I'm posting this via hacky sack?)

[sagacioussue]

Ain't helping who? You? Who cares? I didn't lable people - I labeled you. I'm answering anymore of your STRAWMAN arguments with STRAWMAN AGAIN! It's really a joke that you think you can criticize what I find funny but don't think I should be able to criticize you.

[seriousartspam]

Take a deep breath, shrillsue. I made a snarky comment about an unfunny video. You wanna criticize me? Knock your socks off. Easier to do that than convince anyone that these videos don't stink. They're evidently convinced that partisan bitching makes up for piss-poor writing, lousy delivery and distracting jump cuts. And no small amount of laugh tracks or angry posts after the fact can fix that.

[sagacioussue]

Poor pissypam. It must be killing you that Newsbusted is #9 and climbing in subscriptions this week and #8 and climbing in views today. You expect to be able to make snarky comments without getting any back. It's not going to happen. You are the only one trying to convince people of anything. I could care less what you or any liberal thinks about it. I'll enjoy what I want to enjoy without your permission thank you.

[seriousartspam]

Man, what IS funny is how people like you have such a hang up with the wily liberal. So tell me, since you seem to be an expert- what are the views of a non-liberal democrat? You said there was a difference.

And FYI, I poked around Newsbuster's announcement page and it seems even some of Newsbuster's core audience thinks it sucks. Maybe they're just closet liberals, too. Yeah, that must be it...

[sagacioussue]

The only one in the closet is you. The numbers don't lie so you whine and cry and revert to the STRAWMAN AGAIN! I've never said every conservative found it funny. I never said you had to be a liberal to find it unfunny. What I implied was that it's expected that a liberal wouldn't like it. I should have said any Democrat (liberal or not). #8 today, #5 yesterday who knows could reach #1 you poor thing.

[seriousartspam]

Oh, and congrats to newsbusters on being #8 in comedy subscriptions this week. That's pretty prestigious considering they're only three spots behind #5... which is literally two 13 year olds yelling "hey retard" . Newsbusters could hire those kids? They're just as clever and their delivery is better.

[sagacioussue]

Boy Pamby it's really killing you that they are #8 (#5 Tues). Now you've stooped to criticizing kids and what they think is funny. Those kids care about as much as I do that you think their vid is unfunny! Your not a kid so it doesn't matter! If you weren't letting your jealousy and anger get the best of you, you would realize that there are a lot more kids that watch youtube so the fact that newsbusters (with an adult audience) is so close is very prestigious. Thanks for pointing that out!

[seriousartspam]

I admit it. I AM envious of the retard video. That guy is very brave to stand up and read all those crappy jokes given his disability.

So, no answer to what the political leanings of a non-liberal democrat? "Liberal" is so over used as a general epithet meaning "anyone who disagrees with a conservative", that I'd be curious to hear what you think defines a non-liberal democrat specifically. Or can't you say?

[sagacioussue]

Well at least you admit that your mad about the success. Why should I answer your question about a non-liberal democrat? If I do I'll just get more of your strawman crap and I'm sick of it. You go ahead and define it however you want, I could care less.

[seriousartspam]

Clap those hands and just keep believing, Tinkerbell! Maybe if you clap, really, really hard the laugh track will go away and the writing will get better! Then maybe you can at least win over the Newsbusters crowd who evidently think it's petty, amateurish and unfunny.

Well of course you know the difference. You just... don't want to bring it up right now... Yeah, THAT's it! You're not just using "liberal" as a catch-all pejorative, it's all very, very thought out... My bad.

[sagacioussue]

STRAWMAN AGAIN! Poor baby can't get your tangent addressed so you throw another tantrum. You can't argue comedy and people don't "believe" in it. Your irrelevant and meaningless statements expose your fear and loathing. People like what ever they want without your permission. You are the only one trying to convince anyone and sorry it's not working for you. The numbers don't lie. NB is the most popular political comedy here and no one cares what you or I think about it.

[seriousartspam]

Jeez, saggy sue... Do you even KNOW what a strawman argument is? And btw, before you flip out- again, me asking if you know what a strawman argument is, ISN'T a strawman argument :)

Poor thing likes to blame the nebulous liberal for all of society's ills but can't back it up with anything but snippy, defensive hysterics.

[sagacioussue]

It's when you attack a person for something they never said in hopes that others will think they said it. That's all you have been doing. You only change the subject or build a strawman. The most recent example in your last sentence. Who the heck has been talking about societies ill's? NO ONE. STRAWMAN.  You are shaking in your boots at the fact that people like Newsbusted and no one cares about your opinion. Get over it

[seriousartspam]

Oh, and slow down and read more carefully. I didn't say anything about believing in comedy(?). I merely pointed out these bits suck and you respond with hysterical defensiveness. It's like your walking down the street with shit on your shoes and when someone calls you on it you accuse them of just being jealous.

[sagacioussue]

I'm not the only one who can see through your bull. Do you think people can't read? You called specifically told me to "keep believing" . To use your analogy correctly, you're trying to CLAIM someone has shit on their shoe in hopes that they won't notice you smell like vomit. You can only wish you just had shit on your shoe.

[seriousartspam]

You can smell me through the internet?! Dang. That tinfoil hat is more powerful than I thought! You might wanna take a reality check on the amazing awesome enormous society-changing power of 7 mediocre youtube videos, though. But I suspect you probably just think I'm still jealous of your shit-covered shoes and how awesome everyone thinks they are!

[sagacioussue]

Boy are you dense. Again - who is talking about enormous society changing power? STRAWMAN! Who brought up smelling shoes? YOU and YOU like every other irrelevant thing you've had to say. And there you go again with your "tinfoil hat" acting like comedy is a belief. Everyone knows YOU can't smell Shit because of your own stink so when you accuse someone it's meaningless.

[seriousartspam]

Silly Saggy. You don't follow so good. The belief is in reference to your BELIEF that I'm quaking in my boots at how wildly popular these videos are. When anyone with a modicum of perspective can see they're not really going over like the gangbusters you claim them to be. Look at the ratings. 4000+ people clicked on it. Only 26 people stuck around/ could even bother to rate it. Even then, half of those evidently thought it sucked. Comments-wise, 12 people have chimed in, 7 thought it sucked.

[sagacioussue]

spamy - That's not a belief, that's proven by your commitment here. According to your logic youtube is going down the tubes then. And it's almost 10,000 not 4,000 who have clicked on this one episode. If your not worried about it and don't like it then why do you keep coming back and why are you bringing up stuff like "enormous society changing power" that no one has asserted? Obviously your afraid of what it could become.

[seriousartspam]

So, if I follow your "logic" I return because I'm afraid? Of what? Going ten minutes without seeing the word "STRAWMAN!" in all caps?

Hey, maybe you know. Can this guy not remember two jokes in a row or do they just do a lot of takes and pick the worst one? And has the editor seen the opening credits? He's supposed to be in a club... and yet he's performing outside?? Damn shame MST3k aint around anymore, they could've had a blast with these.

[sagacioussue]

Ok spamby you've convinced me. Your liberal opinion means so much to me and I'll never watch again so you can sleep at night. If you don't like something, no one else should like it either. That just makes sense. Sweet dreams baby - peace and love.

[seriousartspam]

Glad we can end on a high note. But don't forget, Saggylicious, Newsbusted is infallible and sacred. And no one is allowed to question it's divine perfection. Especially if they're a scary, boogeyman liberal. Now, you take care of yourself, y'hear? xoxo-spammy

PS: See you on episode 107? j/k!

[sagacioussue]

Spamby - no need for your STRAWMAN again. I never considered Newsbusted infallible and sacred before so why would I now after your expert STRAWMAN debating made me realize that no one should like what you don't. Conservatives should check with Liberals before they laugh at something especially if it's political. I don't know what got into me. Now I really better leave you because it appears all of our arguing has just drawn attention to this conservative trash. ; ) Can't have that!

[sagacioussue]

How dense. Again - who is talking about enormous society changing power? STRAWMAN! Who brought up smelling shoes? YOU and YOU like every other irrelevant thing you've had to say. And there you go again with your "tinfoil hat" acting like comedy is a belief. Everyone knows YOU can't smell because of your own stink so nothing you say about smell matters.

[BSIndustriesContest]

That's good.

If you like to call Bullshit, go to my channel.

We also have a blog address with political cartoons there if you want to debate with others interested.

[corandaravis]

Hysterical!

[JoseFrazer]

Why do liberals dominate Hollywood? Because conservatives are not funny and can't sign dance or act. This vid is a good example.

[ADD112]

i agree. his jokes are horrible. i don't mind funny conservatives but this guy's deliver and punchlines are awful. in general, i find conservatives somewhat lame...

[gau18man]

I Like it

[thisismyfunnyname]

I would think this was an overdone parody till I saw the ties to the Media Research Center.

[tingrin87]

incredibly lame.

[thcanalichio]

take up a collection to buy this dude a desk. and send him to some acting classes. his delivery stinks.

the writing doesn't help him much either.

[sevenslimysnails]

it's so true. fat people eat ice cream. it's funny but it's true.

[sagacioussue]

You find that funny? I found the idea of O'Donnel and Moore carpooling the funnier part. They like to preach to everyone else about "War for Oil" and global warming but you would never see them carpooling anywhere let alone to their regular stops. Do you know how much Carbon Emission's are caused by the flatulence from cows used to support their obesity? It's really funny if you think about it.
