Gotta say that if Lindsey Graham had showed up to play pool and talk poo poo w/ Trevor six month ago, he might have gotten my vote. It was odd that they were playing on a snooker table though

Yeah I think Trevor's been doing a lot better in the last month or so as well. I noticed the other night that they changed the interview desk to have a small partition on the guests' side - I assumed to stop making women need to worry about crossing their legs etc, as they sat down and shifted back and forth in the chair. I seem to recall a couple guests on Jon Stewart's version mention how the chair actually had locked wheels so they couldn't skootch back and forth, which would be awkward as gently caress for me personally.IRQ posted:They've extended the definition of "millennial" out into the early-mid 30s aged, so that covers people who remember Killborn and serves as yet another indicator that "millennial" is a loving meaningless term only used by the media and grumpy old codgers. I'm 37 now - I'm too young to be Gen-X despite having being a freshman/soph in high school when Cobain died, and having grown up listening to early 90s hip hop and mid-late 90s grunge - my first Concert was Metallica and then they released that Fuel album and I stopped litening to them entirely because they turned to trash and bitched about Napster..! My older brother (who grew up listening to Twisted Sister and Motley Crue) is 47, and is considered Gen-X despite being a total hair-metal throwback, as well as all the guys he grew up with who literally would not have looked out of place in Heavy Metal Parking Lot or Dazed & Confused (this was pretty much my first concert experience as well, but I was 12 at the time), when I was growing up. I'm more Gen-X than most folks older than me, but apparently I'm Gen-Y or Millennial or some poo poo. Welcome to being defined by people who don't actually know what the age group's culture was actually like, because they were too busy working at Rolling Stone/etc and writing about "the kids these days," and how they just don't have the work ethic/gumption/etc as the previous crop had!

GreenNight posted:Did anything interesting happen? I've been sitting at a Mexican resort for the past 8 days and have not read any news nor watched any tv. Also playing on a snooker table was weird, but possibly Trevor is used to a larger table, and Graham def has enough chops to make up for the hugeness of playing on one.. Plus he did the same poo poo my grandfather did as a kid (aka "bar back" which also means at that age, that you'd be the bar's in-house pool shark to take down hustlers who wandered in and stripped the other patrons of their hard-earned beer money.) I was flat impressed by both, but mainly Graham.. There were definitely at least a few shots which were edited out because multiple misses are boring, but there were impressive shots made on both sides (although nobody called Trevor on his no-call slop shot, after the break).

The jokes are often just there for fun and not overtly cynical or containing a message. Not all of them, but a lot less are the pointed, "You're hurting America!" style of Stewart after he'd had a few years to get situated and comfortable. I mean it'll take a while before Trevor has the experience to pull something like this off https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aFQFB5YpDZE coyo7e fucked around with this message at 00:28 on Apr 17, 2016 |

I forgot to watch the episode on 4/20 but then I saw they had Sturgill Simpson. The cover of In Bloom was cute but uninspired, he'd have done a lot better with 'Turtles All the Way Down', especially on 4/20. Sturgill Simpson ranks up there with Joe Rogan for "does a lot of mind-altering poo poo". But yeah if you don't mind a country twang, Sturgill Simpson is hilarious and sharp as hell.

I heard something on a podcast (I'm thinking bbc world news) a day or three ago, where a british journo was interviewing folks at the convention form both sides and then talking to a few of them afterward, and at least one good old boy was mortified at how much he'd gotten swept up in the crowd, and admitted he didn't agree with or stand for half the poo poo he'd cheered for and chanted.

The "What to Expect When You're Expectant" episode was boring as gently caress, I felt like I was watching a very special flashback episode of some show where they just played a montage of the last few seasons because one of the actors ODed or some poo poo. It's the first time I haven't finished watching TDS (and that counts skipping boring interviews) in a long time.

But instead he did all the stuff that has already been pointed out as being bad about the show and sat there giggling.

Steve Vader posted:The comedians who used to love Cosby were not usually that way due to The Cosby Show, which was certainly a massively popular show at the time - I remember some point in the 90s, TV Guide described it as "the last show we all watched together," meaning both as families and as a country, before cable really hit its stride and splintered audiences. But the big Cosby fans were about his stand-up albums from back in the day - telling stories from when he was a kid who got beat and not the parent beating his kids - because they were so full of complete goofball embellishment, weird voices, and exuberant charm that they made him a highly entertaining storyteller. I listened to those albums constantly as a boy and they informed a great deal of what coalesced into my sense of humor as an adult, and I imagine it was the same for a lot of comedy appreciators/practitioners. And that's why it was such a huge, arresting moment when I saw some random person on tumblr refer to Bill Cosby as a rapist and my brain went into panic mode. "WHY WOULD SOMEBODY SAY THAT? I HAVE FAT ALBERT T-SHIRTS!" And the more I learned, the more devastated I was that this guy I'd enjoyed so much was a goddamned creep-monster. And of course, I have friends who love making edgy Cosby rape jokes that just make me nauseous to this day. I kinda like Jim Jeffries, but I turned off his new special when he started going into Cosby stuff. I still feel horrible about it.  on Cosby bro

tarlibone posted:It's an age thing, probably, and really, Cosby deserves a lot of words. In order to appreciate why some people are so reluctant to fully believe the accusations that have been made against him, it's important to understand just how deep Cosby is ingrained in popular culture--in particular, we're talking about comedy. I'm sure that for most goons, Cosby is the guy who was on that TV show that was on NBC when you were toddlers and that was in reruns forever. You know, the middle class black family where the kids had 14 different jazz musician grandparents and you needed earplugs to look at the sweaters. And yes, that show as amazingly popular--it took the Simpsons to knock it off its throne, and it only did so because by then, the show was winding down. But for decades, he was one of the kings of stand-up, and he managed to do it without working blue. coyo7e fucked around with this message at 21:01 on Aug 20, 2016 |

I think that one of the things that Trevor misses, is anger. He just never feels unbuttoned. He can be funny, smart, sharp, charming, somber, etc, but I literally cannot think of a single instance when he's allowed himself to use anger on stage. I wonder how much of that comes from his race and background, but it is something that he hasn't pulled out of his quiver - if it was ever in it. Stewarts "best of" moments are often when he's actually mad at someone or what they represent, and he goes right for the heart using a variety of techniques. Trevor dumps balloons on a man who recently told a crowd full of BLM protestors that they need to stop black on black crime before worrying about police profiling and brutality.

She's way too sharp to not know that. She's simply a Republican due to emotional baggage, she said it herself. edit: my father is very similar. In his actions, philosophy, and beliefs, he's totally a liberal/progressive, but he grew up on a farm and registered Republican, and despite being a teacher and watching every single Republican candidate in his state try to abolish public school systems, he's still a Republican. He just never realized that he's a pre-Goldwater republican, and like a frog being boiled to death slowly, he never noticed the changes because they were gradual. coyo7e fucked around with this message at 17:54 on Oct 14, 2016 |
