Tooning Out the News

Okay, I saw clips of this show on Colbert and although it seemed cute it didn't seem that promising. My husband and I decided to give it a shot and I'm glad we did. It's actually very funny. Excellent parodies of the various news programs. Even short, fake ads that are more hilarious than anything in SNL lately. We binged them in one sitting, but you can just watch a couple of episodes easily, as they only last a few minutes. Of course, Colbert is a producer of this show, so it's geared towards those who have more of an intellectual curiosity. Read: those in the MAGA cult should probably find their comedy elsewhere. All others should watch one or two to see what you think.

I know I'm gonna get a bit of backlash, but this is boring! In fact, it's so boring, this makes Fairview look like a party. And I hate Fairview. Go see my review on that when I was AngryGamer34. Anyways, I just don't care for Steven Colbert and his brand of comedy. My question is, "How in the hell are animated characters interviewing an actual Live action politician. The only time I saw a cartoon character interview a real-life celebrity was Space Ghost Coast to Coast. And that one was WAY better than this! Weekend Update on SNL is WAY better than this! SNL TV Fun House featuring The Ambiguously Gay Duo was WAY funnier than this. Unless you want to bore yourself to sleep, I'd avoid this boring show.

The show claims to be unbiased but is just like watching Colbert's show and non-funny skits. Hate that it is sandwiched between funny shows like the Office, Seinfeld, and South Park. I accidentally watch this horrible show. I have watched the show a couple of times, trying to be unbiased, but the show doesn't even hide its agenda. I find it funny that it claims not to be like the regular news but couldn't be more like the mundane news that we are used to. Hopefully, we will not have to suffer through many more seasons of this show, so I don't have to search for other stations while this show comes on.

When this came to Comedy Central, Stephen Colbert actually had the audacity to promote it in person on a commercial by looking straight into the camera and saying it was news "without bias and without spin". Has this man no shame or a single bone of decency in his entire body? What an absolute disgrace if a television show. Just another vehicle to drive a wedge of division between the American people all delivered in a Trojan horse of supposed comedy. Colbert and his partisan drivel are a cancer on our society and this bit of deranged insanity is no exception. This is just a desperate grasp by a failing network to retain viewership by peddling hate and divisiveness, the lowest of the low.

It gets annoying after a while. The hosts were kind of funny for the first few episodes, but now their "jokes" are just repetitive. When they have no material, they just talk over the guest speaking or constantly interrupt them as if it's going to continue to be funny. It was cute for the first few times, but now it's just boring and those voices they make are just unbearable at this point. They just talk so fast over each other, I can barely understand what they are saying.

I thought they were just warming up as the show just started, but after giving it a few tries, I just don't get it at this point.
