Westside Steve Posted April 2 Report Share Posted April 2 So it's been a full 2 weeks since the complete knee replacement and I don't get far from the recliner The Walker the cane Etc but I do sleep on and off and watch TV on and off. Has anybody ever noticed that Late Night with Seth Meyers is almost a carbon copy of Stephen Colbert Show? The monologue was almost verbatim down to the graphics. I wonder if their writers just watch Colbert and transcribe it as yeaps? WSS But yes the Trump Easter address was some crazy shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaporTrail Posted April 4 Report Share Posted April 4 This is more or less the formula for late night talk. The post is 8 years old, but it's still accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He then scratched his neck beard, made a comment starting "all women", posted an NPC meme, tipped his Fedora and moved to another thread on 4chan... I have a hard time ever taking any of this seriously. And regular late night shows are awful, in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Browns149 Posted April 4 Report Share Posted April 4 Is the Colbert show the same as it was on Comedy Central? I am, almost, never up that late. Back then, he was playing a character Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoy Last Week Tonight and The Daily Show, therefore I am brainwashed by "shitlib insanity", etc. Truthfully, I don't want to go through his pseudo intellectual breakdown of the show and figure out where exactly it's wrong. I generally disagree with the premise of it being some "MSM" "brainwashing" "liberal" (insert your phrase of choice). It's left leaning, it's not the ultimate fact, etc etc... but I'm not bought into the insidiousness proposed here. I'm sure the show is paced in a way to build engagement, just like anything else. Look, at the end of the day, the closer something is to the "red pilled" side of the Internet, the less seriously I'm going to take it. Of course there's some truth over there, but there's a lot of other nonsense coming from men trying to blame their shortcomings on everyone else in the world too. Don't need to dig into it all now.

Which, imo, is a fair description of the show. Quote Truthfully, I don't want to go through his pseudo intellectual breakdown of the show and figure out where exactly it's wrong.

Why do you find that so hard to believe? Cue and response is a well-studied psychological phenomenon. Is it really a conspiracy theory to suggest that the corporate media might try and apply it to its viewers? I don't think you're wrong about the pacing being meant to drive engagement, but to outright dismiss the social conditioning part of his argument is premature. These aren't assertions without evidence, you can watch the most recent episode and see the same exact formula in play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
