I liked that in a recent interview some Ex-presidents came up, Stewart brought up that Jimmy is building homes for people, Clinton is removing worms from childrens feet in africa, and Bush is painting himself in the bathtub.

He's big enough that there's already a a small backlash against him. (Though I like him.)

That was probably lost on me, due to being British and not keeping as up to date on this stuff outside of what makes the news (and subsequently, gets mocked on stuff like the Daily Show). Interesting to learn though.

Larry's eating while interviewing a politician thing was mildly funny the first time, but I'm disappointed to see it becoming a thing.

Sorry if this seems insensitive, but in my book, "or else" has a considerably more adverse connotation than "potential economic impact on a probably negligible scale". And Roy Wood Jr. is amazing.

Lewis Black's segment was even better. I legit laughed out loud at the snapchat and flute ninja parts. The Back In Black segment is always a treat. All of his stand-up specials are great too.

Really digging the new Daily Show, only started watching this week but so far really solid. That Jessica Williams bit about Playboy being in the same position as conservatives was awesome, then I went and watched the previous episode and that Roy Wood Jr. bit was phenomenal. Has it been this good from the start or was it all over the place like The Nightly Show was? Edit: Just watching the Rachel Maddow episode, holy poo poo Trevor has a perfect Australian accent.

That's been my favorite segment so far. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3QIWolLM9i8

I agree with you, especially considering the culture in America of white people being perpetually terrified of anything black people say or do (although political slogans like "Take Our Country Back" are somehow totally acceptable). IRQ posted:I mean there's also that whole slogan "no justice no peace" sooooo yeah. Well, that doesn't mean "justice or war," that means that the people in question can't be at peace (i.e. contentment) until they receive the same justice as everyone else. I can understand not knowing how to interpret "justice or else" but that one is pretty clear cut; then again I didn't think "black lives matter" would be as confusing to white people as it is either. raditts fucked around with this message at 17:28 on Oct 14, 2015 |

I always interpreted it as a threat of disrupting the peace, whether that's a march that fucks up traffic or a boycott (as it apparently was here) or riots.

In negotiations you should always start by aiming high and then compromise from there. Eg. Trade murder down to manslaughter in exchange for relaxed voter ID laws.

Tom Hiddleson has the worst southern accent I have ever heard, but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and say he was kind of put on the spot and maybe can't just turn it on and off. His real voice is shockingly masculine. Loki is kind of... adolescent comparatively.

That Democratic debate was great fodder for the show. All the Lincoln Chafey stuff was hilarious. Genuinely sad that they went with the whole "but Bernie doesn't have a shot, we're all voting for Hilary" thing though. Even if it was a punchline, it just seems like more of that notion being hammered into the American public's brains

I'm hoping they'll unpack the contrast between Bernie and Hillary with economics some time in the next few episodes. I understand why they went with the "old man yelling" route for Bernie. When it came to BLM, Larry went for mocking Webb's "All lives matter, but I once helped a black guy" answer. (Bernie actually had the best answer for that Tuesday. And O'Malley has the worst police record by far.)

She's the one on stage I know as someone who said "All lives matter." Cooper really dropped the ball on that one.

I'm glad that you somehow read "THE BLACKS are wrong for using a slogan that, in my opinion, could be construed as threatening more than economic boycott." into my post. I'm not disagreeing with the choice of slogan, if anything, I'd be for one with a little more punch, I'm saying that pretending that suddenly, "or else" has never had a connotation more negative than economic boycott saying so is a racist, is kinda dumb.
