Holy irony batman... you're telling me to educate myself while spelling like a special needs kindergarten pupil? Impressive... I apologize... you have bested me in this argument good sir. I tip my hat to you good sir. Carry on with the occupation. We're all behind you.... more

The most mind blowing thing about this episode? As loud, vehement, somewhat incoherent as O'Reilly was... he still makes more sense and is slightly more consistent then any of the other conservative politicians/pundits I've seen... which was certainly not my impression 3-4 years ago... the changes that conservatives have gone through in the last couple of years have been immense. Amusing interview, good show.... more

Will you attention whores give it a break... every website, every forum, every other comment... "why aren't they showing Wall Street ********", "I'm boycotting this until they show Wall Street ********"... you want attention, we get it, but most normal people don't find your BS interesting, relevant or even remotely more constructive then your right wing Tea Party counterparts... hence the lack of coverage... or as you like to look at it: everyone is out to get you.... more

Absolutely hilarious show... pure gold on the Germany bit. The only down side: I hate it when he interrupts a guest at the end of the interview just as he is about to make a potentially interesting point... other then that: awesome.... more

Erm... you are aware that this is a comedy show... gays in what has been traditionally seen as a symbol of heterosexuality and masculinity has slightly more comedic potential then blatant human rights abuses. You want more on those depressing topics? I suggest checking the traditional news networks. Also... supporting someone who has a difficult but necessary job does not necessarily imply supporting the job.... more

Yes... he should have mindlessly defended bad decisions like the partisan sheep on both sides of the political isle... because that's who he is. The reason most people love the Daily Show is precisely because he usually makes reasonable arguments regardless of whose side it helps... contrary to popular fanatical belief both sides can in fact do wrong and I thank Jon for pointing it out in his typical funny way... on a side note: really... you really think this segment will flip enough swing voters to make a...... more

The tax system is also a bit different in thous countries. While Serbia, Slovakia and Albania certainly do not have a higher standard of living then the US, most of the other top 10 do and are indeed European. The income gap is smaller in thous countries because more of the income is taxed for the rich and the state puts that income to use in education and healthcare so everyone profits. All universities in Germany require a 560 Euro flat tuition per semester, regardless if you're a foreigner or a local bec...... more

I don't mean to be a dipshit here... but I'll probably come off as one: when the person he's interviewing is interesting, Jon tends to do decent interviews (nothing to write home about usually but decent). On rare occasions he'll do a outstanding interview.... but actors... meh... they really aren't interesting people usually. While Hathaway, like most actors, seems like a perfectly nice person, she certainly doesn't seem interesting. Anytime he has a actor on, I expect 5-10 minutes of pointless banter, whe...... more

Pausing at 03:23 you can see the list of top ranked countries: Sweden, Norway, Austria, Czech Republic, Luxembourg, Malta, Serbia, Slovakia, Albania, Finland, Germany... while Serbia, Slovakia and Albania may qualify as low income countries the others, if you look at a list of countries by GDP, are medium to high ranking countries. Certainly not countries that don't give people the chance to build up wealth but rather tax it at a higher rate then the US and yet don't provoke screams of class warfare from th...... more

i find it amusing that you accuse him so vehemently of dishonesty without actually pointing out where he was being dishonest / providing your "correct" numbers and information. Throw around allegations all you want but without an actual argument your post is just.. well.. boring.... more

Capitalism is inherently based on greed. Unfortunately it's the the best available economic system given the "human condition". Even the best of us are at our core inherently greedy creatures... it's natural and when kept in check it's healthy for the species. However, driven to the extreme capitalism has enormous destructive potential. I remember when my parents moved to the US in the 90s. It was different... as a foreigner you had the sense of a country that was growing together and that you were working ...... more

The input from you guys coincides with what I was thinking. I'm well aware of the correlation between religious conviction and party preference, and it's understandable to a certain degree... but not to such a absurd degree that it would give someone like McCain 45.7% (and even more for Bush) of the total vote... to elaborate... the top 10% is a given... it's in their best interest to vote Republican and it's understandable that they do so. But what about the other 35.7%... is more then 1 in 3 people in Ame...... more

This show ******* blew my mind... as a 24 year old American citizen living in Germany (Munich) and working while going to college here I earn 1000 euros/month (after taxes) for 20 hours of work per week (1/2 norm). That's about 17000 dollars/year...as a bloody intern. The disparity between the rich and the poor in the US, if what Jon is saying is accurate, is bloody inhuman. And STILL those dipschnitz at FOX have the gull to cry class warfare... holy Christ... just bloody mind blowing. But the better questi...... more

This is a comedy show... the guy was a ******* mass murderer who got his brains blow out... what the hell did you people expect Jon to do with the material... a thoughtful presentation of how the operation was carried out... a presentation on the life and times of Osama... condemn the violence employed in the operation... get a grip... like he said... this show was pure id... after what the ******* put the whole world through I think it's perfectly acceptable for Jon to dedicate a show to the pure guilty pl...... more

Outstanding comeback after a week off. One of my favorite episodes by far. People complaining about Jon criticizing the intervention need to look at the episode again and realize that the point of his satire was not to criticize the intervention itself. As a matter of fact Jon always encouraged the support of people fighting for freedom (as per the moment of Zen and "freedom package" segment). What he is criticizing, as he always has, is the ulterior motives of the politicians by showing how selective the U...... more

Outstanding interview. Regardless of whether you agree with the war or not you have to appreciate the fact that those who serve in it go through a horrible ordeal (if by their own choice or not is a different discussion). In the end that is worth respecting and knowing about. Very glad Stephen tempered down his usual self. I always regret when he has a interesting guest and goes overboard on lampooning them and being overtly intrusive. Luckily today that was not the case.... more

I usually try to abstain from replying to such idiotic comments but I'll make a exception in this case. 1. Jon was not "taking up for her" (which in the context I'm assuming means defending/supporting her). He was actually pointing out that what she said was very irresponsible/serious and so other journalists should be paying more attention to the statement and less to who gets her chair. 2. The historical debate about which group "owns" the land Israel is currently occupying is pointless. As seen in cou...... more

It is true that the oil spill is something that should be taken seriously however you have to cut the Daily Show some slack. A lot of the material used by the show is serious yet treated lightly for the purpose of comedy (war, economic depression, religion etc) and since you mention in your post that you watch the show I'm assuming you find at least parts of that material on the other serious situations entertaining/funny. Different people feel passionately about different subjects, it's ones capacity to...... more

My absolute favorite stand-up comedian appears on my favorite comedy show... amazing episode, made my day. Robin is as vivid and funny as ever and the material for the rest of the episode was top notch as well. For anyone who enjoys stand up i whole heartedly recommend Robins "Live on Broadway" appearance (my personal favorite, you can find it on youtube by searching "Live on Broadway") as well as his new show (Weapons of self destruction). Thank you Daily Show for another amazing episode.... more

The episode was great. The interview was enjoyable however I found it to be fairly disjointed. It seemed like they just weren't able to stick to a topic. One would start arguing and the other would pickup on some comment made half way through and counter/deliver his opinion on only that instead of the larger topic at hand. Both Jon and Dobbs are obviously inteligent men with differences of opinion, I wish they had debated a bit more instead of delivering paralel opinions on the subjects. I honestly expec...... more

Although I know that Jon sometimes himself hides behind the idea that this show is a comedy program I think that this episode (and a few others like it) are proof positive that it has become so much more then that. It tackles the stupidity of all issues and it usually does it the way any reasonable person would, on the merits of the argument not on the basis of made up ********. At the same time the interview segment shows how incredibly serious and sincere Jon can be when the situation calls for it (and...... more

Love him, hate him, agree, disagree, trust, don't trust... one thing you have to give Mr. Clinton... he at least looks like he knows what he is talking about. To me, Obama often sounds to overtly inspirational and false, Bush always sounded just plain retarded and uninformed. Mr Clinton at least talks in a factual, level tone that any intelligent person can understand and follow easily. As a person that is disgusted by the obvious falsehood of most public officials I appreciate that.... more
