I remember George Carlin saying that anything could be funny, even rape, but his rape jokes weren't funny in the least. These really are.>> ^ponceleon:

I'm always amazed that Jimmy is able to get away with Pedo/rape jokes the way he does...

I never knew the power "n' shit" had to make people laugh.

Awesome. There's only one man who can make people laugh about dead children's TV presenters.

>> ^campionidelmondo: Oh and I'm fed up with the glorification of the Daily Show. Jon Steward is nothing more than a jester, he's only here to make jokes. He's not gonna change anything, yet people are so glad he's here and won't let people get away with anything. People should turn off their TVs and support a real voice of descent.


Then don't watch the show.

Jon Stewart is a comedian first. TDS is a comedy show. It's aired on Comedy Central. It's goal is to make people laugh. He and his crew do a great job at it. Even when he has someone serious on it he still tries to make jokes. If you look at him as being just a talk show host then you miss the point of the show.

As a side effect his show enlightens people because it shows a view of current events that the news media does not. He shows the truth of a subject matter (except for the "special reports") and then makes fun of it. Because of this formula his show has gained a lot of notoriety and credibility with many people.

Lots of comics make racist jokes. Carlos Mencia and Lisa Lampanelli are two that I can think of off the top of my head. They aren't being mean, they are merely making a joke. Carlos Mencia makes it a point to insult every race, color, and creed as much as possible because he feels we should all be able to laugh at ourselves. He feels that we should all be able to laugh at ourselves because we all have strengths and weaknesses to some degree, might as well laugh about them.

This comic has a job... make people laugh. If one person can't take it for whatever reason then they should leave. I love his Zulu joke BTW.

BTW, I am Italian. I have had my share of Italian jokes - even aimed at me. I laugh. My first name is Marco. I have had hundreds of people say "Marco Polo" when they hear my name. I don't care. I turn it back on them and pretend I have never heard it my life. Then they go off for about a minute trying to explain the (pretty much lame after several hundred times hearing it) joke to me. Inevitably they will mention kids playing Marco Polo in the pool. At that point I jump in and tell them that as a kid I only played "Marco {my last name}" in the pool. The look on their face when they realize that I got them is priceless. Sure I could get mad that someone is picking on my name. Instead I get creative and make their joke far funnier. One person told me that she told her son about it and her son told her, "mom, how can you be so gullible?" That was great to hear.

One of the person that tried this on me was an HR person at my current job. Later when she explained the company's no-name calling policy I threatened to report her for her "Marco Polo" jokes. She knows I am not being serious. I often remind her that I am stopping in later so she can help me fill out a complaint form against her. She still makes Marco Polo jokes. It's funny and we both smile.

Life is short. If you can't laugh at yourself then life will only seem shorter.

So much funny... So. Hard. To. Laugh.

Karl Rove: "You can understand the desire of a politician running for office to feel empathy."

John McCain: "This is ONE of those moments in history, where you have to put AMERICA first." "...take off our republican hats and put on our AMERICAN hats."

Like you have times when you're American and the rest of the time you're just a greedy, selfish, all-consuming whore. This should be top 15 stuff, quotes from people running or who want to pretend to run this country about how being a fucking American is their part time job. Am I the only one who can see Jon Stewart crying inside in this video? Look at his eyes. How hard it must be to make people laugh about such tragedy.

and "inexplicably named Teutonic head" refers to a Germanic tribe known as the Teutons. May just be the most obscure reference I've ever heard, I'd think it would go over better in the BLOCKED regions. Sometimes I think the writers of this show are too good, considering the heaping amount of material they get to work with.

Oh, and it is a fake ad.

From the youtube poster (DESchatz) himself:

It really isn't real. I shot the ad with no intention of sending it to Guiness because of the content. IT was meant to either make people laugh or get really disgusted. I rather people felt the former because that's why it was made. Just for fun.

Oh and it only cost $320 for the ad. My equipment, 300 for the actress, and the rest for food and a six pack of Guiness

Al Franken IS a comedian: he was a writer for the first three seasons of Saturday Night Live. No "wannabe" about it; the man was making people laugh a long time ago. He also graduated from Harvard.

Some gay dudes are actually talented..........these 3 try too hard-on making people laugh....
