Yes.

5 stars for that.

Once the Baby Boomers croak off, every station on TV is going to look like this. Generation X will never get tired of reminding everyone how above-the-fray they are.

It's bad enough that a lot of news shows tried to ape some of the Daily Show's attitude. It works for a fake news show, but when it's on an actual news network it's just giving up their responsibility.

I'm willing to bet that more people get their news from The Daily Show than from CNN. Caeser is dead, and we all took a stab at him.

Not like I'm one to talk but don't you think there's a direct correlation between a generation of adults that spend a large portion of their time watching cartoons and playing video games and a media that regards it's viewers as children?

Yeah!

Besides which if they were really serious they would have included the original nuclear meltdown from the first Cooks and incinerated all of these people in a holocaust.

Our generation may spend a lot of time playing video games and watching cartoons, but I'd wager that your average 30-something today is better informed about current events than a 30-something in the mid-70s was.

That's one of the most insulting things about this; It treats us like we're dumb, instead of just incredibly jaded.

Yeah, media needs to go back to the sophisticated days of yesteryear, when Dukes of Hazzard was the #1 show on television and Gallaghar was packing stadiums.

Might want to re-read what Mr. Tippytap actually said, Xeno.

A rational adult wouldn't vote for a single one of those people. They know who their target audience is, you're the one in denial for wanting a "grimdark" version of a kid's show.

It's a bit of a spoiler (not really), but HBO's series The Newsroom (basically CNN) has a story arc where they get bought out by a Millennial billionaire who basically turns it into Buzzfeed, and there are consequences. In CNN's defense, 24 hours is a lot of time to fill, and I know absolutely nobody who watches CNN: the only time it seems relevant is if you're at a bar or something and there's some big breaking news story, the barkeep will probably turn to CNN rather than Fox News, etc. And it's pretty common knowledge that The Daily Show wouldn't have succeeded had it not been on right after South Park.

I don't think there's anything wrong with CNN toying with things like this, and it's no more insulting to me than the fact that Comedy Central insists the Daily Show still throw in jokes on even the most somber of news days. If this was a minute or less as sort of cutaway it would've been kinda funny but I didn't make it past 2 minutes.

CNN was never any good.

BAM 5 stars to ashtar for the grandpa joke.

I have oft wondered who EH's favorite celebrity is.

That's a good question, and normally it would result in seven paragraphs and a series of painstakingly exact numbered lists. However, I now have to spend my morning shoveling all this fucking snow, so I'll just say...

Fuck, what category of celebrity are we talking here?

I think everyone that submitted this saw it.
