Over 29 years of fanhood Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 (edited) Yet, he is the source for "news" for a lot of the youth today. He is just as much "news" as any of the other sources. News channels are the original reality tv shows, sensationalizing and hyper focusing on the sliver of content the belive their viewing demographic wants. Given that, it's actually a reasonable consolidation to get "news" and comedy from the same source, provided one can live with his version of spin. Provided "news" actually means a few occasional facts surrounded by bias, spin, out of context quotes, stirred up and oft fabricated controversy and editorialist opinions constructed with some agenda Edited May 9, 2015 by over 20 years of fanhood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwight in philly Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 (edited) Usually, humor is subjective. However, Jon Stewart is objectively funny. Fox News and its country music audience are often the butt of his jokes, however, so hence the assumption that perhaps your statement that you don't find him funny might have to do with his politics... i never brought up politics.. nothing close to that, just said i did not find him funny in response to a poster that said "he will be missed" assumptions were made, conclusions were drawn, but hey, this is an opinion board.. let the good times roll. always brother. always That statement makes it a consesus.

BillsFan-4-Ever Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 I don't care for Stewart. I think he is cheesy and filthy at best. I also am not a Obama fan. I also am a registered Republican. Awight now I wonder why you don't like John? hmmmm what could it be? his constant mocking of politicians (mostly R's) he has a job to do, you go with what gets you the most laughs. it has worked for over 15 years for him on that show alone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metzelaars_lives Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 (edited) I'm a straight, white, republican male. How else can I piss you off? By not caring for Stewart? Really? Some of you people are crazy. The thing I don't like about him is that politics is his thing, yet when somebody proves his crazy ideas wrong...he hides behind "this is just comedy". You shouldn't be able to have it both ways. Yet, he is the source for "news" for a lot of the youth today. Having said that...this was a kinda entertaining For one you couldn't be more wrong about what Jon Stewart professes to be. He is a comedian first and foremost and has stated time and time again that's his intent and if people want to interpret what he does as news, that's entirely up to them. Politics (at least most of the time as evidenced by this Brady clip) happens to be his subject matter. Please watch his interview with Chris Wallace of fox news on youtube for further clarification. Secondly, I have two questions: can you please give me an example of some "crazy ideas" of his and also, you have put "news" in quotes when alluding to his show, which I'm ok with- would you similarly use quotes to refer to the fox news political commentary programs hosted by O'Reilly, hannity, huckabee, et al?

Clippers of Nfl Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 I'm sure there are people out there that don't like Jon Stewart. Why would that be so shocking? Personally, I think Stewart is pretty funny. I don't take him that seriously when it comes to politics, because I see him as just a comedian. I don't care for Adam Sandler or Will Ferrell. It's not that I don't like them as people, I just don't find them to be all that funny. Will Ferrell is NOT funny. I agree. Adam Sandler makes very good "feel good" and lovy dovy movies. He knows what he's doing. I hate to get off topic from the original post, but did you guys see the Daily Show clip? But my god; Gronk is just a big, dumb, meathead. Good point. What's the topic here. Funny vid on Brady's cheating ways or what? This is an epic funny or not funny attack on Brady. Can we stick to that?? Republicans, Jay Leno, leave that outside.

No, when the poster said "Stewart will be missed", your only response was a question mark. Nothing more. Whether or not Stewart is funny, is a matter of opinion. Whether or not Stewart will be missed, is not. Unless you really think you have a shot of convincing BarleyNY that he will not miss Stewart. Assumptions and conclusions were drawn. By you. You assumed the statement "Stewart will be missed" implied "by everybody", including you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hondo in seattle Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 I found the Stewart clip only mildly amusing. But I loved watching it because it's good to see cheating lampooned.

Gray Beard Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 I hate to get off topic from the original post, but did you guys see the Daily Show clip? But my god; Gronk is just a big, dumb, meathead. 1) I like Jon Stewart in small doses. And I think he sometimes brings up issues that the mainstream media doesn't want to talk about for whatever reason. I believe he will be missed. 2) Even compared to Marshawn, Gronk seems like a meathead. Remember this video game contest with Conan? http://www.google.com/url?q=http://forums.twobillsdrive.com/topic/175794-i-hate-marshawn-lynch/page-15&sa=U&ei=Hm5PVe2uCpWgyASejIHwBw&ved=0CAUQFjAA&usg=AFQjCNHDEhw5yGoX3JUXP3ZLkvvhbENlxw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buftex Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 I will miss Stewart, but I think I already miss Steven Colbert more. I think they are both funny, but I think Colbert was as close to a genius as one can be as a comic. I also think John Oliver, as much because of the format of his show, and not having the pressures of a nightly show, is pretty damn incredible too.

D521646 Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 I'm about as Conservative as they come, but Stewart does have his moments of pure comedic genius (mostly when I agree with the subject matter). He was on point here. Tim- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fox News and its country music audience are often the butt of his jokes, however, so hence the assumption that perhaps your statement that you don't find him funny might have to do with his politics...
