That segment by Aasif Mandvi was I haven't seen a humor piece that scathing in a while.
Comments
i thought it was good, but not that much different from their usual brand of 'hypocracy humor' (that being showing the humor in gov't/media's hypocracy).
but 2 things struck me as odd...
1. dude (Aasif), had really bad posture during his interview. Like he was on some fat joe 'lean back' steez or kinda like the Rock.
2. the audience, probably a bunch of pinko liberal commies, were laughing through all his jokes, but got really silent towards the end. maybe i am brilliant, but i could kinda tell where he was going with that interview/joke/commentary early on.
here's the youtube
I imagine they got quieter at the end because that 9/11 joke was a real gut punch. And it was such a gut punch because, well, it's fucking true. I know I was laughing at all the jokes, and then when he got to that one, I was kinda like, "...ooooh...." But it got that reaction because it's on point, unpleasant as that may be. I thought that whole segment was definitely a cut or three above TDS' norm.
thanks for the link.
the daily show audience has always been a problem. some interviews have turned ice-cold cause someone guffaws at something meant to be taken seriously. i've been led to believe jon stewart could be ordering something in a restaurant and the waiter would just crack up hysterically in the little pauses he provides.
Man, that shit was off the fucking chain. Even JS looked stunned at how scathing that shit actually sounded.
best debating setup ever:
