Don't bother watching it all the way through. It's like Dane Cook trying to do Glenn Beck's shtick but forgetting to put any actual jokes into it.
Hey Guys! I'm young and hip and trendy so that must mean I'm cool to listen to! Peace is for chumps, let's bomb some more brown people in the desert!

Terry Pratchett did this a lot better in Jingo. You know why? He was trying to be funny, not give an ideological screed.
Basically this is just a string of wingnut cliches with the occasional Take That thrown in.

No shit. Like the Church says, rant your guts up, but if you aren't funny, don't try to be.
Karl Rove was funnier than this, and Rove was for the most part just a really mean asshole.
As I recall, he said the Democrats response to 9/11 would've been to have given Al-Qaeda members therapy, which is a much funnier premise for a skit than....uh, whining about how everyone always blames the Christians and its so unfair because secular-humanism is founded on relativism.
In fact, another comedy show over here (which takes shots at everyone) did a sketch where the leader of the Liberal Democrats did a job-swap with Osama Bin Laden, and it was, hands down, one of the funniest things I have ever seen on TV. It could've easily be adapted to the Democratic Party by any half competent comedian.
Of course, part of the problem is that comedy is at its best when it is subversive, and propping up the status quo by using their psychoticized talking points is about as subversive as working corporate accounting.
So classy the way he starts lisping and switching to effeminate mannerisms as a way to parody all people who believe in promoting non-violent methods of conflict resolution. Because, you know, it is so cowardly to come out and be open with your sexuality and all the societal shit you take as a result -- and it is incredibly strong and brave to pretend to uphold a religion by donning a robe and sticking it to choir boys, using your position of other worldly superiority to bully the kids into keeping quiet.
But the biggest contrast I see with Stewart/Colbert, is that they never actually come out and tell you what to think - probably why I find Bill Maher less funny too.
One of the things I miss about college was the rise of the Pink Panthers -- a group of gay guys who would go around looking to bash the gay bashers.
It didn't really solve any of the underlying issues, but it was quite funny to witness a pack of assholes get pummeled by dudes in sequined berets.

Colbert always "tells you what to think"... in some sense ;-)

Exactly. It's not enough for this guy to say "hey, look, the libtards are WRONG", he has to show you why his pack of monkeys are right.
And that is why it descends into an ideological screed. Preaching is never really that funny.

Except when Pat Robertson or Robert Tilton do it.

Oh, yeah.
Tilton is on BET, of all places, after his meltdown, and Pat Robertson is still on the 700 Club.
And when Pat kicks the bucket he has his son to take his place, who's the spitting image, right down to the hair. The gift that keeps on giving.

Won't be the same. :sad:
I should be a humour consultant for the GOP. I bet they'd pay well, and once I got bored, I could get them intentionally bad advice.

That would be extremely humorous.

The sad fact is that you wouldn't do well because they are not trying to reach out with their attempts at humor, rather than simply hold their base.... and the base that they are trying to hold probably finds shit like this hilllllaaaaarious....

THAT VIDEO NEEDS MORE FURIOUSLY EMPHATIC "AIR QUOTES"!
The cross of Saint Peter is just an upside down cross. According to tradition he requested that cause didn't want to be crucified the same way Jesus was.
The peace symbol was invented by some "save the planet" type and it was the semaphoric letters N and D (Nuclear Disarmament)
wait....
why am I even bothering with this?
:?
all this information is easily obtainable from wikipedia for fucks sake
but to be fair this isn't the first time I heard the peace symbol used as a satanic symbol. It was used by conspiracy types that think the Secular UN is getting ready to hunt down Christians for use in satanic work camps
if your brave write peace symbol satanic in Google

Wait, the Pink Panthers are real? :lulz: I thought that was just a thing from the movie Jeffrey all this time. That's hilarious. That reminds me of this news article I read where these two dudes went to go fuck with this transgendered person and it turned out they were a Cage Fighter and they got their asses whooped. She then delicately picked up her purse after the dust settled, witnesses say.

Quote from: Illuminatus! Trilogy, Page 338Hagbard pointed to an inscription carved into the wall of the cave. There was a row of symbols that George didn't recognize, but above them was something quite familiar: a circle with a downward-pointing trident carved inside it.
"The peace symbol," said George. "I didn't know it was that old." "In the days when it was put up there," said Hagbard, "it was called the Cross of Lilith Velkor, and its meaning is simply that anyone who attempts to thwart the Illuminati will suffer from the most horrible torture the Illuminati can devise. Lilith Velkor was one of the first of their victims. They crucified her on a revolving cross that looked very much like that."
"You told me it wasn't really a peace symbol," said George, looking wistfully back at the carving, "but I didn't know what you meant."
"There was a Dirigens-grade Illuminatus in Bertrand Russell's circle who put it in somebody's mind that the circle and trident would be a good symbol for the Aldermaston marchers to carry. It was very cleverly and subtly done. If the Committee for Nuclear Disarmament had thought about it, what did they need any kind of a symbol for? But Russell and his people fell for it What they didn't know was that the circle-and-trident had been a traditional symbol of evil among left-hand-path Satanists for thousands of years. So many right-wingers are secret left-hand-path magicians and Satanists that of course they spotted the symbol for what it was right away. That made them think the Illuminati were behind the peace movement, which threw them off the track, and they accused the peaceniks of using a Satanist symbol, which to a small extent discredited the peace movement. A cute gambit."
