Even my ultra-conservative mom thinks Tucker is a whiny snowflake bitch.
You young people watch some strange shit. I liked the six arms sprouting out of the guy's back though.All the lines from Tucker Carlson in this video are real, by the way.
For those who don't watch, this video satirized an 'average America family' getting their news from Tucker Carlson. In the video the family starts off as a humorously generic suburbian family with relatively centrist political views. Over the course of the video Tucker Carlson uses increasingly fear inducing rhetoric, physically transforming the family into monsters warped by their own rage.
I personally think this video is a rather accurate visceral visual to the effect that Tucker Carlson's show(and far right news in general) manufactures a narrative of fear for their base. They didn't even have to make up anything for Tucker Carlson to say. Direct quotes from him are enough to sound like over the top comedy.
Haha, Millennial political humor is a little weird. I think the style has its merits thoughYou young people watch some strange shit. I liked the six arms sprouting out of the guy's back though.

The video is stupid. Tucker Carlson uses satire and dry sarcasm to make salient points.
What the left are angry about is that he gets his point across. It's news entertainment, and it's spot on.
Greg Gutfeld uses a different type of comedy and does the same thing; he's hilarious.

Interesting piece of fan fiction. I don't particularly find it compelling much more than a dyed hair screaming on the side of the street though.All the lines from Tucker Carlson in this video are real, by the way.

You guys used to get your panties in a bunch over John Stewart regularly handing conservatives thier asses. The argument was that it was silly for people to get thier news from a comedian.
The sad part is that at least Stewart had the decency to own that he was a comedian telling a story. Carlson, as you pointed out, is at best news entertainment, though he tends to be short on the news aspect of things.
Gutfield, by the way, is chuckleworthy at best. Hilarious is going a bit overboard.
I think Carlson is just an actor who is acting. He's found fame and fortune doing this schtick.

Gutfeld is more proof conservatives can't do comedy. They also can't do art, music, or writing, either. Whatever part of the brain that let's you be creative and introspective, the vast majority of conservatives seriously lack it.
I'll push back some here. I know some good politically conservative comedians. Ron White.
Dennis Miller.
Frank Caliendo.
I agree with everything else--especially the "vast majority" qualification you put in. The problem that the vast minority have who can do some good writing and have conservative ideas is this...I haven't listened to more than 5 minutes of this Gutfeld character...why? Because I don't watch FOX news or conservative media. If he wants to make his viewers laugh (assuming he is above them) he has to dumb down the comedy so they understand what he's saying.
I think the big problem most have is that the nature of conservatives is to be rejectionary. Renewable energy? They're against it. Electric cars? Against. Expanding immigration when we have thousands of jobs unfilled? Nope.
Spot on???? Spot on what? What you want to hear from Tucker. Thats what. Bunch-o-Putin parrots ....Tucker fans and Tucker himself for that matter.The video is stupid. Tucker Carlson uses satire and dry sarcasm to make salient points.

Tucker doenst make salient points he is a moron and no reasonable person would ever take him seriouslyThe video is stupid. Tucker Carlson uses satire and dry sarcasm to make salient points.

I was looking forward to a good night's sleep . . . until I saw that video. ()
All just direct clips from his show. I watch Tucker pretty often and I've seen the entire show most of those clips are from. The context makes them worse, not better. Especially the M&M segment.Seriously, if those lines were really said by Tucker, then he's one weird dude. But to be fair, some of them might have been taken out of context, as Schism suggested in post #7.
