OK, I'm finally going to admit that I used to watch this show, if only because my brother has this unhelpful way of reminding me that my new god Steve Carell used to have a spot on this show. And I'm actually feeling a bit tired and ruffled right now, but I'm going to try to get it out of the way, and do my best on it.
I actually just got done watching "Speed" with Keanu Reeves, and all that I can really remember is that annoying way that he had of either asking or being asked about hypothetical situations, and someone always had to be saying, "What would you do?" (At one point he responded with: "I would shoot the hostage; take her out of the equation.") And after awhile, all that I wanted to do was to tell him to shut the fuck up, you stupid Canadian-- you're in an action movie, dammit.
Anyway.
But, I don't know, the problem with this show is....
Well, it's actually funny, how difficult it is to explain, in a way.
But, do they really turn drama into comedy? Or do they just make it a different kind of drama?
Is the news really funny? Is reading about the political news entertaining? The crime news?
Would it be entertaining to read about the filmography news?
Ah, but then that's the whole point, isn't it.
I guess that I just don't like it when the comics grief me. People have been griefing me all morning, to be honest, and now, the only person that I want to hear from is Dvorak, ("From the New World"), or maybe Dvorak's daughter.
It's really too much like 'South Park', in a way that's difficult to describe, especially without getting laughed at. I mean, are they really making the election funny, (and I wouldn't even know when the next one is!), or are they just refusing to let go of the election, even when they want to try to be funny?
What would you do? What would you do?
I don't know, man-- I wouldn't!
I just wouldn't.
I just hate it when.... when they act like this. When they make it all vexation. All drama. That's just too Jeff Lewis for me-- or too, something. 'Chefs, I want you to compress two hours of cooking time into twenty minutes, even though we'll edit it down to five minutes or something for the TV audience anyway. Or, better yet, just start throwing your knives at each other.' And this show was even worse than Jeff Lewis is now, isn't it, though? 'Oh! My god! You just made that guy look like a Nazi! Holy shit, that's hilarious!'
And, I mean, Hitler can be funny sometimes, hell, he's even on 'Family Guy', (and this 'Family Guy' youtube video, I don't know how they edited it, but he goes, "An age of freedom", while he's all oratorical-y about it, I died laughing, I died), {I get it; Hitler can be funny-- 'Hitlah. Dot dot dot dot, Hitlah! Goering, yeah, a fat nazi. Speer, sure, the architect kind. Himmlah, fine, but the biggest one, is Hitlah! And my name is, Adolf Hitlah!' (Burgdorf) 'But I actually forgot that that was your name, sir.' 'Then get the fuck out of my special room!'} but.... some things are just too damn abrasive. And *not* funny. And certainly *not* comedy, and not anything but *drama*.
And, let's face it, this show is more like 'Top Reporter', than 'Family....'--anything. It's for immature little.... haters, really. Haters who want a laugh.
And that's why it's so fucking mediocre, and.... suck-y, really.
And, lest I be accused of forgetting anything-- and it is difficult to remember what you were thinking, when everyone really is acting the way that something like this *expects them to*-- let me make one more point. The problem with Jon, I think, is that there was this choice that he didn't make. Despite knowing everything about everything, from global warming to the Crusades, he didn't want to be a regular scholar like Tony Tanner, who wrote stuff about *Pride & Prejudice*, since that's actually alot of work. But he also didn't want to be like Robert Pattinson, (or Steve Carell, maybe?), since I think that he really did consider himself to be a little above that-- Comedy Central's *World News Headquarters in New York* might be a little too lazy to climb up to the dizzying heights of journalism that Stewart himself actually did have some interest in, I think-- he went on "Hardball", once, I think, and sorta gave them a talk about what real news journalism is, and so they sorta asked him if he'd learned that from the dancing bananas that immediately preceded his show-- but he and his crowd also obviously secretly always had this mission to show the world how stupid the oafish pleb guys at *People* really are.
So.... that's a little retarded, actually.
I mean, have you ever seen one of those soap commercials where the girls they film are models, but the voice-over girl sounds like she's trying to be Mike Tyson and Patrick Stewart at the same time? 'Women are strong.... Just like this soap.... Now the dirt.... *will know fear*!!!'
'What would you do? What would you do?'
And I watched the Colbert show too. Whoop-dey fucking, do.
{But as for all those, stupid, peevish, intellectualized, 'jokes'....}
{*sits in chair* *depressed* I tell you, in the end, all that we're left with is our fucking regrets! What happened to all those parodies that I wrote-- with such perfect syllable-by-syllable symmetry, back when I had the headphones for privacy! But now, the headphones are lost. --And before that, all those years that I wasted thinking that George Bush was Hitler, when really the whole fucking time it was really Bruno Ganz!-- So now, all I can tell ya man-- is live your life.... Do what you want. But if you think that means that I've given up on choosing between right and wrong, and making fun of the way that I acted on Kohler's birthday and to Speer's Pizza's delivery guy, then you've fucking got another thing coming.}
{Because, I don't know. With politics....
'The moment that you (begin) to believe, you deceive.'
And you know that 'time turns future into past', so....
Your news is sliding into the sand, and turning into mold.
'Was no worthy game in season, in (those) days?}
