Brilliant rant on American TV - of course, done by a foreigner

This will be a post on late night entertainment shows on our beloved idiot box.

First, watch the Craig Ferguson rant.



Please note that the audience laughs at the totally inopportune moments, as they simply
1) Don't get it
2) Think it is a cheap joke, and are trained like Pavlov's dogs to laugh at everything (it's a late night show, entertain me and make me laugh, monkey!)

It is both hilarious and saddening that they laugh at the totally wrong moments... in fact, why laugh at all in this monologue?

They laughed at the following: "In ancient Greece they deified youth... no, they didn't, they deified beuty! Ahhhhh... different!".

There is nothing funny in that statement - in fact, it is pretty close to the mark.

Yet the audience of stoned retards yaps away, as if in reaction that this monologue is not something they expected, that it has been going on long and so far has had NO quirky punchlines to laugh at, and like conditioned MK Ultra victims they reacted to keywords, in this case "Ahhhh!".

Another laugh: "By the nature of youth, you don't have experience, it's not your fault".

What. The. Fuck.

Why is this so extremely super funny?

"So you are young - and you're kinda stupid".

Guffaws from the moronic peanut gallery.

I realize that young people in America are the smartest people in the world (especially the black ones), and boy, don't they know it, so a comedian calling them stupid must be cracking a joke.

"It became desirable and fashionable to be young and to be stupid".

Laughter.

I am not laughing.

This man is describing perfectly "The Century of Self".

Part 1 is here, by the bye:




Re: point 2 from way up there, the epitome of a non-joke, lets take it as far as we can and see if we can get away with it, is the david letterman... "show". There is nothing funny in this man's programme - absolutely nothing. In fact, to me it seems like it is a scientific experiment to see if one can get a group of people (in this case, an audience) into forced, manic group behaviour - in this case, laughing at... well, the inane.

This reminds me of watching George Carlin perform in front of audiences, and myself being absolutely flabbergasted and shaken up, to the point of having my mouth open, my body quivering and thinking "Wow! There ARE intelligent Americans!".

The audiences, of course, treated the whole thing as a big joke, and like Pavlov's dogs, reacted with laughter (It's a comedy show! Standup! I am here to be entertained - honey, on the way back lets stop by taco bell and get some "beef" tacos with extra "cheese"!).

Of course, to make money and stay in showbiz, Craig has had to forgo most of his innate intelligence and stick with the schlocky, stupid... stuff like this.

A man has to eat, after all.

And being smart, thoughtful, experienced and wise is NOT rewarded nor celebrated in America.

For reasons, see the first video... and the second one for a more indepth explanation.
