1. I will watch it later

[malaise]

2. Watched live last night

It was brilliant. :rofl:

[Jennicut]

3. I was falling off my bed with laughter last night. My cat looked at me like I was crazy.

Jon Stewart is the best at caricaturing people, like he did with Keith Olbermann. His Glenn Beck was brilliant stuff.

[obxhead]

4. The ovals omgomgomgomgomgomgomg

They're coming to get me, stop the ovals.

:spray: :rofl:

[NightWatcher]

6. For those overseas you need this link

http://www.thedailyshow.com/

We are not allowed to watch for episodes in one sitting

It was brilliant BTW

[kirby]

7. I've never watched Beck so...

I am not sure if he was just making fun of or actually impersonating. The whole point of the segment was excellent though.

[lame54]

8. it was very close...

next time Jon needs to add a little more crazy

[RaleighNCDUer]

15. There is a problem with that - satire is all about exaggeration to point out

the crazy, and it is damn hard to exaggerate Beck, much less over-exaggerate him.

[lame54]

16. i forgot this...

:sarcasm:

actually Jon was perfect

[chelsea0011]

18. You are right. Beck can't be satirized. My son tunes in to laugh at him.

I think many do.

[lame54]

22. I think we just witnessed that he can...

but it takes an genius like Stewart to pull it off

[madokie]

9. From the pictures of his father i've seen

I'm almost certain that glen becks father was in one of my navy bootcamp companies I helped train back in early '68. The father was a real dick in boot but later he was stationed at the same sere camp as I was and there, where there was no, how do I say it, protection from me kicking his sorry little ass, so there he was a totally different person. Still a dick but not to the same degree. Anyways if this is the same Beck then I can definitely see that he came about his being honestly as he had his dads personality to build on. what a douche they both are/were even if it the afore mentioned person wasn't his father
just so you know...

10. K&R #8 for TOTALLY brilliant!1 "You've taken us THIS far, you've DRAWN the ovals!1" n/t

[Lost4words]

11. Great episode! it is a MUST SEE! thanks for the heads up! nt

[BurtWorm]

12. That was frighteningly accurate.

It was such a devastatingly perfect imitation of the insane mindset of Glenn Beck, complete with insane mannerisms, that I couldn't laugh. I just felt sick that an insane idiot like Glenn Beck is a rock star in this country. It made me feel even more hopeless than I was already feeling about America's present and future.

[lonestarnot]

13. That was one of the best! ever!

:thumbsup: best ever!

[Touchdown]

14. This will be a comedy classic... on the level of Steve Allen having a giggle fit,

Carol Burnett wearing the curtain rod or Dan Akroyd playing the electrician with his crack showing. You just wait!

[The_Commonist]

17. Pretty damn funny...

Jon was ON!

[high density]

19. I had to rewind so many parts of it and laugh a second or third time

I have to wonder how much of that is improv and how much is mapped out in advance.

[Overseas]

20. K&R. I saw it! It was brilliant! Love it when he does his GB bits.

Loved his first one too.

So glad he gave us this next routine because it was outrageous that GB told his devotees to run away if their churches advocated Social Justice or Economic Justice.

[Initech]

21. That was classic.

:rofl:

[helderheid]

23. OMG, this is GREAT!!!

[unapatriciated]

24. k&r

[liberal_at_heart]

25. I watched the rerun this morning. I was laughing so hard my husband who was in the other room asked

what I was laughing at.

[ddeclue]

26. Fucking wonderful.. it's a shame he'll never win any Emmys for this.

:rofl:

[mrs_p]

27. one of the funniest sketches i have ever seen

[FourScore]

28. He is so great!

He's pissed. As he should be. As we all should be.
