The Daily Show Nails Cable News Election Panels

Matt Tobey — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 18:02:41 +0000

As you've now heard, in last night's two high-profile gubernatorial elections, the GOP candidates emerged victoriously in what was a clear referendum against President Obama. Meanwhile, in the closely-watched Congressional race in New York's 23rd District, voters elected a Democrat for the first time in over a century in what was a clear referendum against President Obama. Where did I acquire such keen political insight? Cable news, of course.

Ten Spooktastic Daily Show-Inspired Halloween Costume Ideas

TheInDecider — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 13:33:30 +0000

Halloween! It's probably the best holiday ever invented (with the possible exception of Arbor Day), but it's just so hard thinking up an acceptable costume. If only there were some kind of multi-million dollar industry devoted entirely to providing low-grade clothing and props for this one day.

Until that day, here's a bunch of terrifying costumes ideas inspired by the scariest program on television, The Daily Show…

Daily Show: CNN Fact Checks SNL, Not Politicians

Matt Tobey — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 14:46:45 +0000

CNN must be stopped. Just when you think they can't get any dumber, they reach levels of dumbness that can't be described with human language. If this shit keeps up, I'm going to have to start painting murals or doing interpretive dances to convey how head-explodingly inept these clowns are.

The Daily Show's Noblest Nobel Prize Moments

TheInDecider — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 21:14:57 +0000

We are both surprised and deeply humbled to have this opportunity to publish another list of Daily Show clips.

The Daily Show on Obama's Dalai Lama Snub

Matt Tobey — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 16:39:38 +0000

As you may have heard, President Obama is refusing to meet with the Dalai Lama, in hopes that China will be impressed and want to be BFFs. Well, here's a tip for his holiness: Start a Buddhist Olympics. Before you know it, you won't be able to get rid of Obama.

Daily Show: Tea Partiers Advise G20 Protesters

Matt Tobey — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 13:45:21 +0000

If you're like me, you thought the protesters at the G20 Summit were just gathering in Pittsburgh for the free tear gas. But it turns out they're there on behalf of some real issues, dozens of them in fact. And, as John Oliver reported on last night's Daily Show, that seems to be their problem. If they could just be like the Teabaggers and focus on one cause, say the plight of patchouli farmers or government subsidized Che t-shirts, their efforts would be a lot more effective.

The Best of The Daily Show's Fact-Finding Missions into the United Nations

TheInDecider — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 18:52:13 +0000

With all the recent hoopla over last week's United Nations circus still fresh in people's minds and Mike Huckabee's thoughtful suggestion of floating the U.N. building over to Saudi Arabia lingering fragrantly in the air, we thought it would be a good idea to look up some of The Daily Show's best U.N. moments…

John Oliver Outside the G20 Summit

Matt Tobey — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 16:26:04 +0000

From The CC Insider…

The New York Times has a slide-show up with pictures of the protests outside this weekend's G20 Summit in Pittsburgh. And among the photos was this one featuring The Daily Show's John Oliver talking to a gentleman who I assume was there to protest the deleterious effects of globalization on the plaid forests of Micronesia.

The Daily Show Entrenches Itself in Afghanistan

TheInDecider — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 21:30:42 +0000

Oh, so have you heard? That Afghanistan thing we've been mucking around with these past eight years or so. That's not really going so well. Yeah, I wouldn't recommend spending too much of your time planning any End of Military Action in Afghanistan parties. In fact, you might wanna just go ahead and call the bakery and put a hold on that cake for, um, about three or four decades.

But, don't worry, because in the meantime, there's plenty of Daily Show clips on Afghanistan to keep you entertained…

The Daily Show Correspondents on Riding Animals to Work

Dennis DiClaudio — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 17:17:13 +0000

Now, one might think that asking people what animal they'd like to ride work would be a silly thing to do, but, as I think you'll discover from watching this video it's anything but. It seems goofy and idiotic in theory, but in practice it just works…
