comedy work best when it relate to stuff that true . but even a such and some effort be require to make joke that everyone like and even the most grumpy of viewer can crack a smile . when i look at the daily show and i see the whole it funny because it true thing and but i do not and however and see the effort and often time i do not if theyre be funny or just try to make a point ( i notice this mostly in the interview segment ) . the daily show start off a a news parody and by definition they poke fun at how the medium play it own news by pretend to be inept and dumb news reporter and anchorman and they tackle ton of subject from science to movie and sometimes politics and then jon stewart come along . and it all go to hell . thr first year of jon stewart reign be arguably golden and i though he be so funny and but then 2004 come along and it where you start to notice a huge chance in the show from there on . the show humor have go stale and colbert left and steve carell leave and many of the show best anchor leave and now it mostly about jon stewart and the show go from a parody to a semi serious news show and essentially evening news but with some gag here and there . for those who haven not see the show and be have trouble find out what to watch on cable and i will give you a brief description of what the show about ( at least until 2009 ) represent bush and cheney and all republican ( unless they happen to embrace an opinion share by democrat as well ) be stupid and evil and corrupt and hypocrite and anyone who stand by conservative belief be also evil and corrupt and a hypocrite while people who doubt the man make global warming theory be evil and stupid while vote democrat while there and i save you 25 minute of your time and go watch something else . at first and i though that the producer hijack the show for their own personal political agenda and but when i actually see the interview and it become crystal clear what this show about ( what i mention above ) and but i will get to that in a moment . frist off and the humor in the daily show accord to jon stewart expect you to find a random film quote say by either bush and cheney or a random republican humorous because well and because . jon set up the joke and set it in writer specific context and expect that the random quote somehow deliver the punchline . so and unless you « get » the context and it entirely useless a bankable humor . also the daily show expect you to laugh when they show a montage of one politician talk and in another separate video say another thing and again put into a context that the writer expect you to understand and thus make it funny and why . well and because jon say so . now imagine the daily show use that formula countless time for year every week and and you will start to understand of what use to be a laugh fest that be now 25 minute of just silent stare ( yes and even in the lewis black segment ) . at first and some decent amount of effort be put into these joke and but now much less of that be apparent . and the interview have the most odd sense of bias that i have ever see . jon stewart call bill oreilly a bully and but what do that make him and when he suck up to every single actor and democrat ( john kerry before and obama today ) that appear on the show and look down upon respect republican and accomplish conservative newsman such a weekly standard own bill kristol . he put them in some sort of people tribunal a if theyre be charge with a crime and often time any person on the show who stand up for bush be portray a delusional and a if that person out of touch with reality and assume he speak for the majority of america and that the de facto treatment for anybody conservative and unless they happen to share a similar point of view with democrat and if so then it an endless love fest . but still and it doesn not matter and in the eye of jon you be already wrong before you walk into the show and be still wrong afterwords . that the kind of treatment you get if you be anything remotely right wing . now you have to wonder what that could possibly have anything to do with humor . one wonder what will happen if democrat win the white house .
