Hooker      I know her computer audience is going to laugh at it regardless, but I don't understand how the state of the union bit was even a joke.

Bort      I get that she's trying to mimic the Jon Stewart model of delivery: report an actual piece of news, follow up with a joke that illustrates the irony or hypocrisy. Except in her case, it's report an actual piece of news, follow up with a wingnut talking point ... which is pretty much the Fox model of straight news. Take away the shoulder wiggle and she'd be Steve Doocy.

Riskbreaker I think the laugh track has become even louder than before.

TeenerTot      This is funny? How do conservative brains warp this into humor?
|
Bort It's reinforcement of what they wanted to hear, which is comforting. Remember, a lot of conservatives thought that Stephen Colbert was for real, because he was saying the things they wanted to hear. Which is why a bunch of geniuses thought Colbert would be the perfect keynote speaker at the 2006 White House Correspondents' Dinner.
"He used... sarcasm. He knew all the tricks, dramatic irony, metaphor, bathos, puns, parody, litotes and... satire. He was vicious."

OxygenThief     Needs a smug tag.

YakooMarkTwo      Her very first sentence being in that Ace Ventura cadence that every single kids' show now constantly uses is easily enough for 5 stars. But then every single joke punctuated with the exact laugh track sound clinches it.
full crowd laugh, distant hooting in the right speaker, applause... repeat

Screwtape    The opening logo reminds me of the bad fascist-influenced news reporting from the 4th season of Babylon 5 [/nerd]
|
StanleyPain      Holy shit, this has gotten progressively worse and worse over time, almost to the point of being some genius Andy Kaufman-esque parody of right wing humor by basically engaging it continuously over years until it's literally just an echo chamber of "OBAMA BAD."
I'm almost impressed with that.

Rodents of Unusual Size      She's so satisfied with herself.
