The article still doesn’t explain why the shows ratings are so high. Are right wing zombies watching it? What do viewers see in the show that a liberal just doesn’t appreciate?
I’ve stored that forever in my trunk.
Yeah, yeah, if you’re looking for a pun chain, you’re barking up the right tree. This crowd just loves to needle each other mercilessly, boughing to no one.
What a stud!

What a stud!
Now I’m getting board.

Mebbe others watch that shit. I don’t as I go to bed about 9:00PM and I don’t watch TV incessantly anyway
indeed!! just turn off the TV…I i never heard of this guy, until now, and i wonder why TPM chose to give it space…you know., TPM. there are a lot of people who do not live in TV LAND… other than the early morning news shows like Morning JOE…my TV is not on.
they see themselves.
Reich-wing types lack the essential criteria necessary to be funny in the first place. A sense of the absurd, creativity, a willingness to laugh at oneself, curiosity, fearlessness, empathy. They possess none of it. But as bad as this show is, it isn’t even the worst of the fascist" humor that’s out there.
There are a whole bunch of shitty “conservative” stand up comics who do nothing but rant about the usual topics the right hates while braying about stupid things they know nothing about. The founding fathers, patriotism and religion are favorite topics. If you really want to see one of these loser in action, look up Brad Stine. The man dresses in 70s era leisure suits, sweats more than a priest in a kindergarten and gets about one laugh every 15 minutes or so.
Watch. It’s like passing a car wreck on the highway.

Try explaining why 73 million people voted for Trump.

You didn’t bash a liberal. It’s not funny unless you bash a liberal.

Watch. It’s like passing a car wreck on the highway.
Like watching George Bush hunt for WMDs under Oval Office furniture.

Our cable went away several years ago. My TV these days is Hulu and I pick n choose what to watch. Generally things that aren’t political or newsy. Movies, Mythbusters, Oak Island treasure (in limited doses). If it’s a worthwhile day mebbe Rachael Maddow but she can bug me by stringing out by way of explanation ad nauseam whatever the issue is rather than just stating it and getting on with it.
It’s a sad commentary that even our comedy sources are polarized
Fox plays in a lot of public places like airports, those viewers count toward ratings.

The show debuted in April, and it’s been an undeniable success since then, rising above almost all other late night comedy programs in the ratings, according to Nielsen. It was also among the ten top rated cable news shows in November (all the other programs with higher ratings were also Fox shows, reinforcing the right-wing outlet’s status as the country’s most-watched TV network).
i’ll take your word for it…i’m not a TV person…i read,.books and KINDLE…this shows ‘success’ only show how absymally dumb so many people are…actually, you might say is is doing a service to rhe country,so we will have no illusions as to the intelligence of the FOX viewing public.
Awww, don’t knock Minnie Pearl!

Now I’m getting board.
I’m knot pining for more of this humor.
I’m sure the vets who came home missing legs thought that was fucking H-I-L-A-R-I-O-U-S.
A conservative I worked with showed me a video that he said would have me busting stitches and I never even cracked a smile.
Conservatives simply aren’t funny.

…this shows ‘success’ only show how absymally dumb so many people are
And also a plurality unified in their dedication to dumb proFoxateurism.
Because they’re mean and not very bright. You’ll notice that all successful comedians are very smart…
