Stewart also wasn't afraid to just express anger. He got mad about poo poo, and that was both entertaining and relate-able. He would snark and be smug or whatever but when a story crossed his personal line he displayed very human anger in a way none of the Daily Show alumni - except maybe occasionally Oliver - have really dared to express. I don't think the issue with Noah, Bee and the others isn't that they aren't as funny, Stewart told some real stinkers and his impressions were never great, nor that theyre somehow smugger than Stewart was, its that none of them have the knack of just dropping the comedy screen for a moment and being an angry human about incredibly stupid things.

the worst part about colbert doing this poo poo is that the colbert report was much better than the daily show. it was great satire, it was funny, and it was insightfulDapper_Swindler posted:everyone wants to be the next jon stewart. the issue is stewart was talented and while he poo poo on and hated the GOP for the monsters they were, he wasnt afraid of making GBS threads on the dems for their stupidty, he also wasnt afraid of making jokes or being clever. between every talk show host doing a jon stewart impression (and failing) and most of the new comedy central shows this year playing up the "woke" angle, i'm just amazed that we're apparently not at the saturation point yet Not a Step posted:Stewart also wasn't afraid to just express anger.

Colbert seems to have a real dislike for Trump as a person which to an extent distracts from his viewing the President as part of a larger problem. instead of satirizing policy issues, the GOP or Congress as a whole he's zero-ing in on Trump's tweets, his appearance and behavior and mostly ignoring everything else and it comes off as snark at an easy target. I think Tracy Morgan said Donald Trump is bad for comedy and it makes sense that Trump is such an immediately ridiculous figure that he's causing normally critical thinkers to focus on his most superficial poo poo like some sort of obvious joke lightning rod

get that OUT of my face posted:some day, audiences will get bored of late night talk show hosts like colbert and jimmy kimmel being "important," as well as comedy shows being the same way. i'm eagerly awaiting the turning point This isn't the Johnny Carson or David Letterman days where this actually made sense. Carson was also apolitical, and Letterman would only briefly touch on it.

Same thing with a lot of "Never Trump" conservatives. It's about the manner he's doing things, not so much his actual policies. They never really batted an eye when obama or dubya was doing some pretty abhorent poo poo. But you know, Trump tweeted something insulting so let's meltdown about it.

Its not that Trump is an incompetent idiot with abhorrent policies that will lead to the death of thousands, perhaps tens of thousands. Its that hes just so *embarrassing* while hes doing it. Have a little class while you gently caress over the nation, jeez. Nobody *really* cares that Trump is leading the way on loving up healthcare for millions, they care that hes a clownish buffoon.

Vox Nihili posted:hating trump is key, IMO It really isnt though. Trump is a clownish buffoon and a lot of 'pundits' seem content to score easy goals concerning either his appearance or his extensive personal history of gently caress-ups and skulduggery. That makes it very easy to avoid talking about how abhorrent his and the Republicans actual policy stances are, and how we as a nation should really be striving to do more than just #resist and laugh about Trump. Hating Trump is an easy excuse to not think about any of the factors that led to a President Trump in the first place. Trump is perhaps uniquely suited to take advantage of the current state of affairs, but he didn't create them.
