Because brainwashing must flow... through as many cracks as they can get to.

Yep. This.

It has to be killing their ratings. I have several friends who are simply "sick of hearing about politics" and unfollow pages on social networking and cross shows off their lists all the time.

how is colbert related to two scoops

You must be what, 17? Were you even aware of what tv was like from 2000-2008?

Because they can't think of anything else to talk about in order to still be relevant

Because it sells. They know who their main demographic is and they talk about topics that their core audience wants to hear about.

anytime a republican is president they get constantly shit on. Bush Jr. was made fun of every Leno/Letterman/Conan monologue and SNL / Will Ferrell roasted him every week.

lurk you fucking faggot

Because we elected an orange clown. How could they not make fun of it?

Who the fuck watches TV - are you 60?

He never said anything about the fucking ice cream

It seems like everything nowadays is fucking politically charged, not just late night television.

>Why is late night television so political these days?

Are you 12? You should have seen the 2004 election on late night TV. 2008 was not as bad but late night TV was relentless with Sara Palin. David Letterman was especially merciless towards her.

Then there was the Matt Damon thing on CBS news:

The attacks on bush were always about his intelligence. Not his character. Trump attacks are all about making him out to be a dispicable scourge, not just absurdly stupid

>Why is late night television so political these days?
Look at it all as advertisements and cheap infomercials. I didn't know anyone even watched the TV garbage anymore. (((They))) don't call it a "PROGRAM" for nothing.....

Trump's presidency is far more hilarious than anything else going on right now.
Also, Colbert has always been a political comedy show.
You were watching soap operas or some similar bullshit.

Back then media at least tried to pretend to be neutral. They have became increasingly primitive in past years especially since Trump became a candidate.

Get a load of this faggot.

I'm disappointed in you, Sup Forums.

>oey vey goyim, it sells!

you mean
"hi im george soros and if you dont push mypolitical agenda ill call each of the board of directors I sit upon and tell them to remove advertising from your network, thanks".

Colbert used to pretend to listen to conservatives on his first show. Often had guests like Bill O'Reilly to pretend he was neutral, although still slightly left leaning.

Now he calls the President a cocksucker and preaches SJW-ism.

Things are definitely getting more extreme. They aren't even hiding it like they were before.

please enlighten me

I also see young people complain that SNL is "too political these days". It has always been this way. Trump simply gives them more material to work with each week due to his excessive twitter activity.

Even in the early days Chevy Chase built his career on his President Ford character. A lot of shows started with Ford completely fucking up, ruining Christmas, or whatever and then yelling "LIVE FROM NEW YORK IT'S SATURDAY NIGHT!"

because its an easy topic

Hate on either side and half the population will agree with you anyway

>OLD PEOPLE ARE OLD AND MIGHT DIE WE CANT ELECT THEM BECAUSE THEY ARE OLD
>mccain still alive in 2017

Here's the real redpill
John Oliver never said "IT'S THE CURRENT YEAR!"

FUCKING

2 SCCCCOOOOOOOOOOOOOPPSSSSSS

Do you really have to (((ask)))?

He said "it's 2016"

The problem isn't that it's political but the problem is That the jokes aren't funny.
They only do personal attacks instead of jokes. I wouldn't mind if they made fun of Trump's bubble butt but waddling around. Maybe match it with a Donald Duck type of outfit. (no pants)
Have a sketch what's Donald Trump throws a tantrum at a restaurant when he's served regular Coke.
Mix it up a little, but try to avoid the tired out jokes and condescension.

mind = blown

Bad timing.

its like sports. if you can say something to the common narrative you have a commonalities with anyone that isnt a outcast

trump is a fucking retarded faggot but anyone who thinks they can have a entire conversation with me about how bad he is and what a tv personality said... they'd be wrong

2bh Ben Shapiros impressions of Trump are more accurate and funnier than literally anything these """comedians""" have come up with so far

DRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRNNNNNNNNNNNNLDDDDDDD

HAAAARRRRRUUUUUUUUUUMPMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMPHHHHHHHhhhh

>It has to be killing their ratings
Colbert, SNL and other late night TV shows are enjoying the highest ratings they have had in years. After the cock sucking comment Colbert reached ratings levels he had not hit since the premier episode and far higher ratings than he ever had on his old show.

The right is becoming a stick in the wheels of the machine of control and they want to crush it entirely before people wake up and realize:
> their water is polluted
>their food is polluted
>no raises + jobs suck
>inflated dollar becoming worthless >infrastructure failing
>massive increase in cancers and diabetes autism etc (autism didnt exist 60 uears ago now its 1 in 65 kids born with it)
>derivative bubble + housing bubble 2.0
>politicians completely controlled + dont care about people + actively hurting people for corporate greed
>unpayable debt + forever debt slavery


Before they realize America is a falling empire and they get mad about it.
They've also realized young sheepies get their news from these shows now. That's why even colbert has gone far left.They are desperate.

Well, well, well, Drumpfy, two scoops? While the rest of us only get one? I'm honestly impressed. You think you've won?

You REALLY think this would be funny?

Jesus wept.

>Implying half of that shit wasn't enabled by the right.
>Implying the right is nothing but socialism sugar coated with a different flavor of identity politics.

I never really minded when Letterman would do stuff like Great Moments in Presidential speeches but thats it wasn't so agenda driven. Also Bush said some hilarious shit because he couldn't read a script

People watch TV in 2017?

debate coverage has always been a cornerstone, as has lampooning the president. the sheer amount of coverage is off the fucking charts though, it's not just material, it's all the actors being offended by him.

Less and less every day. And this garbage is largely responsible.

Can't tell if you're an ayncap or /leftypol/ retard

He invented an entire character to make fun of conservatives and kept it going for literally years. What fucking planet are you on? Or are you 11 years old?

you're a retarded faggot- from canada. suck my free cock. USA! USA!

TWO SCOOPS AND DINNER!
YOUR GLUTTONY KNOWS NO BOUNDS!
CEASE ALL CONSUMPTION ACTIVITIES AT ONCE!
OR FEAR MY WRATH!
DDRRUUUMMMPPPFFFF!

better?

People still watch tv shows. Not on their tv's but still, tv shows. So yes.

REPLACE ALL FACES WITH COLBERT

True but he pretended that he was neutral, and that anyone resembling conservative was outside of it. P subversive imo

I didn't mind Colbert being a leftie because he was funny

Apparently his new writers are garbage, and now he fucking sucks

>It has always been this way.

They certainly treated Obama with kid's gloves....

...

Leftypol isnt retarded enough to call social democracy or corporate fascism socialism. Only lolberts and natsocs are that stupid.

Can someone please tell me what the fuck happened to Colbert?
A quick rundown would be nice.

Let's not forget this fucking clown. Just because he sucked 4chans dick last week, doesn't excuse all the bullshit he's done.
Why he's still welcome to work in America after in my opinion, inciting violence and civil unrest... is beyond me.

It is probably killing their ratings if you factor in that it's a political year and they are free to make fun of a president again. They are just getting that niche that needs their daily dose of confirmation bias. You don't need to be clever or funny to get that. Jon Stewart stopped trying and rested on that clique for years before getting tired of cashing the check. If you had someone like Carson or even Leno around that could fire on all cylinders, Colbert would be canceled by now.

And hiding his penthouse using his dog's name so he could rail against the wealthy while pretending he wasn't wealthy.

Easy ratings bump with little effort.

>stratergy
Those were the days.

>They certainly treated Obama with kid's gloves....
SNL failed to find a suitable obama actor that was memorable. Without a cahrismatic lead they can't put the character into very many skits. Obama also didn't get involved in as many gaffes or social media fuckups as trump so they have less to work with.

Bush SR = Dana carvey
Bush Jr = Will farrel
Trump = Alec Baldwin

Darrel Hammond wasn't as iconic as any of the above but he was a great Bill Clinton. SNL was harsher on Clinton than they were on Bush Sr (but they were merciless to Jr)

TWO SCOOPS? HOW DISGUSTING

I mean that's demonstrably not true, but if the media doesn't push it 24/7, it doesn't exist, right?

why do you watch TV you moron ?

Propaganda encirclement. They don't want you to be able to escape their message.

I now sincerely appreciate this meme because of this picture.

This... you... (you)

GIMME A QUICK RUNDOWN ON FLONAB DRFRUMP

ive been thinking the same thing. regardless of how you feel about trump its fucking annoying that every late show the monologue is roast trump for 10 mins and do only that.

and theres so many of them and they all say the EXACT same shit. like pic related what even is his show? its the most generic night show ive ever seen. seriously though what is the deal with this show. did he take it over from someone? Where does it even air? does it even exist outside of youtube?

Uhhh...is there a different clip out there or something? Colbert made one tiny, non-triggered joke about the ice cream and then moved on.

For those that aren't gonna watch Trump get made fun of for six minutes straight, here's what Colbert said:
"Wow, two scoops huh? Does he get to sit in the front seat sometimes too?"

he's fucking reading a script for Christ's sake if you for a second even attempted to refute anything he just said he would turn red as a tomato and fumble over a response so terribly it'd be hilarious to watch.

It's hard to come to terms realizing you used to think this guy was smart and reasonable. He's a joke himself now.

GENDERS

because the kikes are desperately trying to tighten the noose before it's too late

Can you even name any of Obama's famous gaffes?
>Signed the wrong year in a guest book in 2011
>once said "I don't know what the phrase is in Austrian" when in fact there is no Austrian language (Austro-Bavarian is not their primary language)
>made the special olympics comment about his own terrible bowling score
>commented on the "inefficiencies" of healthcare
>miss-spelled "advice" as "advise" in a hand written letter
>Instead of saying "a twister left 10,000 homeless, an entire town destroyed" he mistakenly said "a twister left 10,000 dead".

Some of these gaffes made it into SNL skits but it wasn't very much to work with. It certainly didn't make for good TV.

Seth (((Meyers))) paid his network dues on SNL and did the initiation blood rituals, so now he's just an empty mouthpiece for leftist propaganda and good-think.

Watching how often he slips in the ((buzz words)) like "racist bigoted hate speech privileged white oppression nazi" is actually kind of mind boggling. He's just so casual about these loaded words, like he's running a program, like it's not even him that's saying it but some possessed demon that has taken over his mind.

It's the worst (((white guy))) Late night show I've ever seen.

Larry wilmore still takes the cake for worst night show ever.

...

It's less about him actually saying that and more about constantly talking about GRUMPF while being smug. I mean look at something like this:

>meyers
>john 'stewart' liebowitz

not all are jew hosts. just their bosses

i wonder why

He didn't have any goofy mistakes like saying nuclear wrong, just a bunch americans getting killed

No clue

higher quality

Obama was a smug and effete intellectual who always believed he was the smartest person in the room. He was about as black as khaki pants but had to LARP about rapping and dropping mics on TV in order to profit from the very same stereotypes he supposedly resented. Everyone tongued his butt because he was black and well spoken, the story of his entire life and now his presidential legacy.

And if that's too squishy for you, he used the government to attack his political enemies (IRS scandal, NSA surveillance of Trump), his toadies were even stupider and more careless than he was (Susan Rice/Benghazi, Eric Holder giving weapons to drug cartels, Loretta Lynch meeting with Bill, etc.), and somehow he continues to think he's the savior of the free world even though his party lost over 1,000 seats nationwide since he took office. He's a fucking fool and there was more than enough to mock, but doing so meant U RACIST so it was off the table. It was never even considered.
