It's even beyond ridiculous levels of awful into just plain awkward and sad.

Would it be funny if it was about John McCain or Mitt Romney?
noones calling the daily show infallible. also, i think there's something to the fact that the show's creator describes it as "The Daily Show for conservatives". thats like making a show revolving around a star jones strip tease and dubbing it "The View for men."
for my 1st choice in '08.
I thought this was just another clip from the Daily Show or Colbert.
I didn't know there was a new show for conservatives.
Do republicans laugh?
I mean besides when counting their money.
Really. It wasn't that bad, folks. Old jokes, but not poorly delivered. And I'm seeing Obama's face in my morning toast.
His college nickname was "Gassy?" My seven-year-old nephew could write a better joke than that. There were a couple of so-so zingers in the BO magazine bit, but for the most part it seemed like they were stretching pretty hard to find something to make fun of him for. The excruciating canned laughter didn't help matters either.
If this really seems on par with the humor exhibited by the Daily Show writers to you, than maybe you should ask what happened to your own sense of humor.

Joel Surnow is an American writer and producer, perhaps best known for being the creator of the Emmy winning television series 24.
---------------
MSNBC host Keith Olbermann picked Joel Surnow as the "Worst Person in the World" for Feb. 13, 2007 after Surnow neglected to attend a meeting wherein Brigadier General Patrick Finnegan, dean of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, met with the "creative team" behind the hit TV show 24 to ask them to stop writing scenes that promoted torture and breaking the law.

iiiiiiiiiiiiiinteresting......
What? It was not funny. Period. Check out some of the conservative stand-up comics on youtube. Awful. Just awful. I don't what it is? They just can't be funny.
edit:
actually this has it's moments
The arbiter of taste and all things comedic has spoken!
Let this thread end here!
Fatback is Soulstrut's lefty bully, you should leave
the strong arm tactics to the republicans they've had
alot more practice.
Don't worry fatty I'm on your side and I still thought it was kinda funny....
Not Sarah Silverman or David Cross funny, but it got a chuckle.
Personally I would lump them all in the "obnoxious" category.
I'm not on a side. Engaging in serious debate makes you feel bullied or strong-armed, huh? That's too bad. Really.
Also, what so funny about the violinist from King Crimson? Jamie Muir is kinda funny, but Cross is serious like Fripp.
Daily show sucked ass when it began too, maybe they'll soon realize that political comedy should be a little more highbrow than farting jokes.
it would be silly to claim their politics didn't lean left; that said, they make fun of dems just as much as republicans. Republicans just happen to do dumber stuff, like get us into the iraq war (MATERIAL FOR YEARS...) Not to mention the many republican/conservative guests that they have. Scott McClellan, James Baker, blalalalla
But, they go after CNN even more it seems than Fox News, and Dems are fair game. I can't say I've watched the version here for a whole show, but it has been the mark of the republican movement to stay 'on message,' and keep their humor aimed at the dems/liberal jew run media. I doubt there is going to be the spirit of fair play that TDS brings to the table.
@ Marion Barry and Tiger Woods refs
what was racist about the Marion Barry reference. I think they were talking about him being caught smoking coke/ crack not race
there are tons of politicians who have done coke, but naturally lets bring up the black dude who did a different drug rather than oh I don't know GEORGE BUSH
but, he's dead. not so funny anymore.
Surnow in this week's New Yorker:
"I can hardly think of him [Ronald Reagan] without breaking into tears. I just felt Ronald Reagan was the father that this country needed.... He made me feel good that I was in his family."
And, no, that quote is not pulled out of context--there's plenty more where it came from.
After Surnow's initial excuse for not attending the meeting was exposed as a fabrication, he offered the following: "I just can't sit in a room that long. I'm too A.D.D.--I can't sit still."
Dying was the funniest thing he ever did.
