Thread: This Is Supposed to Replace the Daily Show?

Anybody catch Fox's response to the Daily Show, "The 1/2 Hour News Hour"? (Nevermind that there was a show by that name in 1983.)

Anyway, click the link if you're up for a laugh. That's laughing at, not laughing with. Comedy is hard. I guess Fox News is going to find that out.

Bad comedy here.

Not the best, but not the worst either.

Have to admit i laughed at the Marion Barry reference, the rest sucked.

They look like bad SNL actors - gah.

Why is Fox News even trying to do comedy?

This reminds me when Colbert went on O'Reilly, who was pretty lame throughout, while you could hear staff members laughing occasionally in the background at Colbert's jokes.

Good to see republicans laughing at themselves.

It's more like "The 1/2 Hour That Seems Like an Hour". The clip on BO magazine wasn't too bad but the anchors were pretty wooden in their delivery. I don't think John Stewart has anything to worry about.

lol, it reminds of that terribly unfunny show "This hour has 22 minutes".

That's very lame, if that gets more viewers than the daily show I may lose faith in humanity.

It has a laugh track...

They also missed the point. The daily show is a comedy show, they make fun of whoever it is funniest to make fun of. Fox news is an actual news show, and the show is right wing. Their intro is telling:

People we hate and will offend in this show:

lefties
gays
immigrants
gays

OMG LOL we said GAYS twice!!!1!!
