    I’m not sure what this clip is. I think it’s from the first show - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXiu_xQRM2s

    I only watched a few seconds here or there. It seemed terrible. And it’s one of those shows where the guests try to juice the jokes by laughing themselves even if that shit is 1,000 miles away from being funny.

      It felt like one of those fake talk shows the main character in a film puts on in the background that’s meant to be a social commentary on how empty, mindless and boring TV is.

      Got to 2:55 before I asked myself how are these losers considered funny?

        And I don’t understand the appeal of any form of fake laughter. A laugh track is bad enough but watching people pretend to laugh at each other’s jokes is like something I imagine plays in Hell 24/7.

    Michael Ian Black, Anderson Cooper and Wolf Blitzer reenacting Stella bits would be pretty funny.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
