Colin Quinn is the ultimate idiot

[Atman]

Dear god, if lots of people actually think like this guy, America really is doomed. He started off with something that was actually funny...he dressed as Bush in a flight suit, and came out under that infamous banner, except instead of Mission Accomplished it said My Bad. Pretty funny, Colin! But then he started talking, and it all went downhill from there. He taunted W, in a Texas accent, to use his old druggie fingers to push one red button each for each of the Mid East trouble spots. No shit. This idiot doesn't have a clue what he thinks...he lambastes Bush, but instead of calling upon him to resign, he begs the idiot pretender to the throne to escalate it further, with nukes no less.

After that, the group starts right in on the torture...they largely agree that, "hey, they're only Iraqi's." No one could really see why anyone would be upset.

It is such a buzzkill after watching Stewart. I need to click the remote faster.

1. Torture is not funny Colin.

Why in the world does C.C. carry him after the "Daily Show"?
At least I have the power to turn this idiot off.

2. yup

who told him he was funny?:wtf:

8. I AGREE!

But what else can they follow the Daily SHow with? THere is no other liberal show on TV...

4. "It is such a buzzkill after watching Stewart. " BINGO!

That was my EXACT thought when that came on tonight...weird!

5. That group was offensive and unfunny

They laughed and made fun of the torture photographs. They said that they were funny, that they looked faked ("Those asses weren't hairy enough to be Iraqis."), and that basically it was no big deal.

Who the hell are those people and who lets them on television? They reinforce all the most terrible opinions the rest of the world has of America.

14. Personification of the ugly American

6. It's sad to follow TDS with his shit.

Still, his show gets about five minutes of my time (less if I'm alert) before I switch over to Nightline. And if that doesn't work out, I go into denial with Letterman.

7. The show is a great idea, but...

Colin Quinn just plain SUCKS!!! I've TRIED and TRIED to like him, but he sucks...

And, of course, the show is just a Politically Incorrect clone, really...

But I like the idea of 4 standups on the issues. It usually works out pretty well.

9. .

Except on this show they always have 3 conservatives and one liberal. And the host is conservative. It should at least be balanced.

10. drop a line to comedy central

[BlackVelvetElvis]

11. No link for comments on the CC website

Anyone got a link elsewhere?

[BlackVelvetElvis]

12. I found this one

[e-mail]

I'm not the most articulate person in the world but here is the email I sent while fired up:

On the record, I am a liberal, I hate censorship but this has crossed
the line.
Colin Quinn should be ashamed.
We have just lost any goodwill with the people in the Middle East at a
critical time and this is what passes as funny?
You guys blew it.

[Borgnine]

13. Ugh.

Usually after The Daily Show ends, I leap for my remote before Colin Quinn can start his shitty little show. Why does he even have a show? He sucked on Weekend Update, and he sucks now. Being a racist comedian isn't funny... it's nauseating.

At least Comedy Central yanked the evening repeat of Tough Crowd, so the show can't be doing that hot. Maybe they'll fire Quinn's ass and have Tough Crowd with Tina Fey and Jimmy Fallon.
