Frank Dux did successfully sell his story as being real for years, even with exposes being written as early as 1988. seanbaby... now there's a name i havent thought about in almost 2 decades

The Seanbaby talk is kinda fitting given that Bois started his writing carrer as a Seanbaby-esque writer. [url=" http://web.archive.org/web/20070910195105/http://progressiveboink.com:80/archive/jon/ "]If you tinker with internet archive a bit,[/url] you can see how he used to write.

I want him, Drew Magary, and PFT Commenter to tell their employers to eat poo poo and make a fun sports website. It's a crime that the internet doesn't have one of those anymore. I think the Stewart-Colbert clapter phase ended, and the current one is drivan by nostalgia for it.

Maybe it’s rose-colored glasses, but I also feel like they were way better comedians than anyone doing mainstream political humor these days (though Colbert now is certainly not very good). I don’t know how well the political commentary holds up with my politics these days, but stuff like the field reports on both of their shows was timeless.

They were middling Onion articles designed to make you feel better than Mitch or whoever. You were supposed to feel like there was no need to march in the streets (because look at how stupid Bush is) and there’s no point to marching in the streets (because we’ll never be able to stop the war.)

get that OUT of my face posted:Hundreds of thousands of people marched across America to protest the invasion of Iraq before it happened, and it ended up doing jackshit. It's not a coincidence that TDS and Jon Stewart rose to prominence not long after that. Absolutely, I didn’t mean to sound belittling when I say middling, more a testament to the general tone and quality of the onion. But I do think we’re in harmony that TDS became prominent after the left realized that bush didn’t have to care about marches & the despair that created. There are def. some parallels with how I felt during the 2016 primary, which spurred me to listen to chapo more.

Stewart also got out at exactly the right time and in his final episodes he hammered the point home that all of his "eviscerations" and "destructions" of various things amounted to absolutely nothing. I'm kind of curious what he would think of something like Chapo but he has wisely kept away from the spotlight for a few years and was never stupid enough to have an active Twitter. I imagine if he were an active pundit his takes on them would be in the realm of Jeet Heer or Chris Hayes or Jon Lovett before they really started feuding with PSA.

The magic of TDS wasn't Jon's performance, it was the writing and the incredulity of the early internet. Two things made the TDS: the video guys who could find a clip of a politician saying X when this week's headline was the same politican saying NOT X, and the local politican, businessman, weirdo, who would absolutely say the unfiltered truth rattling around inside their heads, no matter how stupid, because they were starstuck to be on TV. It couldn't last, and we're no longer shocked by hyprocracy anymore, but when it was new, TDS had the same vitality and truth as I've felt from the early chapo shows.

Speaking of early Internet, does anyone know what happened to wunderkind Mark Steyn? For a while he really seemed to be the ideological driver of the conservative online culture. Hell, he was one of the most visible early adopters of the white genocide and ismal invasion in the mainstream. Did he simply get buried by the shoutier, less wordy chuds? I'm surprised he hasn't been featured in a Chapo episode yet.

The fact that he did that character for nearly a decade was absurd and probably owed a lot to the weird, apolitical Conan-esque bits that the show used frequently.

To do a Colbert Report these days you have to be a loving nazi infowars type, that's the current mainstream of the GOP messaging. Fox News is played out and half the voters who love Trump think Fox is riddled with cucks and libs like CNN.

That was way more Sean Hannity style, You gotta do Infowars right, constant ads for various insane fake medicine, conspiracy theories more deep than 'dems bad', someone who can actually get red nude and mad on command, all that jazz. Fake Infowars could be really funny but you need a 'host' who actually understands what they're making fun of beyond 'yea they think everything is a commie conspiracy got it whatever'.

I know someone who was asked to submit for Jordan’s show and one of the guidelines is you couldn’t use Jordan’s marriage for jokes. Despite the fact that the person he was basing this character on was dealing w messy divorce stuff and OH YEAH Jordan’s playing a character. That’s part of the issue. Colbert went all the way, and I know people HATED that during interviews but that’s why the show and character worked so wel. He was so drat committed. That made the difference.

I remember liking the earlier Bush era DS more, when they still had Even Stevphen as a segment. I didn't like Bee or Oliver when they showed up. I don't know if I felt earnestness creeping in or if it was some other kind of tone shift. Stewart was always kind of lame with his jokes and delivery but he was charismatic enough for hosting.
