raditts posted:You're not missing much, the panel mostly consists of Barney Frank rambling and everyone else barely getting in a word edgewise. Barney Frank being on the panel was the most  thing. He kinda seemed genuinely confused about why he was there/why he wasn't talking to Stephen Colbert about his book.Rob Corddry at least admitted that he's a poop-joke comedian and seemed to try to make the point that Barney Frank was the former Massachusetts rep.

If I wanted to see comedians being buds and just hanging out with each other and making first draft jokes that aren't sharp or funny, I'd watch an Adam Sandler movie. Okay, I want four mimes.

Larry even called himself out on laughing at his own jokes on Monday. That somehow made me even madder. I wish Colbert would hurry up and come back on the air.

SyRauk posted:How is wrestling still a thing? Wrestlemania season, plus PG wrestling is pretty awesome. Also NXT is great and the indies are on fire. (though 3 hours of RAW is pretty unwatchable) raditts posted:No, you really don't, and "being informed" is not a subjective thing. This is the kind of anti-logic that Fox News runs on. I disagree with this a lot - I think its completely worthwhile for uninformed people to see when people disagree and have people reason it out. Unless it is a debate between politicians or pundits where their jobs are on the line, people will take into account different viewpoints and consider different opinions.

I think they're saying that it's advancing an uninformed opinion instead of being a debate between informed positions.

Neeksy posted:That whole C-Span Hatewatch bit was fantastic. They executed it perfectly. Yeah, I just watched it, and it's superb. I hope Stewart leaves the gloves off in his final months on the show, because someone needs to call out poo poo like the human trafficking shenanigans in as plain a manner as possible.

I mean he may as well. He'll never be broke again and there's a non-zero chance he'll move on to the production-side of show business even if he opts to stay out of the limelight.

That was actually a good 'keep it 100' Excepting the preacher's question, they were just fluffy questions that sparked laughs.

ROCK THE HOUSE M.D. posted:God, Larry is boring as hell. The only reason I record TNS now is TDS' block runs so damned long (at least on FiOS) that the Moment of Zen almost always falls in the next half-hour block. I honestly wonder if they're making TDS run longer so the DVR numbers show just as many people are watching Larry. BIG HEADLINE fucked around with this message at 10:00 on Mar 19, 2015 |

I like how Larry stopped the ex Jehovah's witness from giving out Christian lying tips. I wonder if he was going to say something about lying to yourself and believing it ...

Jonas Albrecht posted:The Prosperity Gospel is a good topic. It's such a weird and lovely thing, and more people need to know about it. Well yeah, but he dismissed it as "1st world problems" with that whole Jesus bit where he's guilting Larry with bad things that are happening elsewhere. He basically refused to look at the topic as something more than a premise for a couple jokes.

White people sure love grasping at anything that might help them ignore any challenge to their worldview, don't they. Never mind that nobody is going to ever know exactly what happened and that there are utter shitloads of very explicit examples of unarmed black people being killed by the police (which these same people conveniently pretend never happened when they realize there is no room for argument)

He was almost going for the "both sides make mountain out of molehills" false equivalence, but then then veers off and correctly points out the fundamental difference and then the mic drop. That was fantastic.

Michelle Rodriguez is a unique superhero and her superpower is sucking and dying in every movie she stars in. ...and really, the only thing that keeps her from totally ripping off Sean Bean's superpower is that she sucks, so maybe she should take her own advice.

He doesn't seem to have the ability to tackle bad and bad faith arguments on the spot. Stuff that Colbert could do in his sleep. What I'm saying is that I miss The Colbert Report.
