Tooning Out the News

Tooning out the News is funny, creative and witty.

I had to attend two funerals recently. Both were incredibly sad events, full an almost palpable sense of mourning. Both were far funnier than this garbage.

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.

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.

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.
