Red Eye With Greg Gutfeld

""Welcome to Red Eye. It's like [[Return of the Jed], if by 'Jedi', you mean 'a mysterious rash shaped like an avocado'."|undefined"

Red Eye With Greg Gutfeld is Fox News Channel's successful comedy offering, a panel discussion show hosted by former Maxim UK Editor Greg Gutfeld, along with his "repulsive Sidekick" Bill Schulz, and ombudsman "[[Mystery Science Theater 3000|TV']" Andy Levy. It airs at 3:00 am ET Tuesday through Saturday.

The show hovers between News Parod] and [[Faux New], and it's like [[The View, if The View had a decidedly pro-Camp Gay bias. [[Dissimil] and absurdist tangents abound. [[Refuge in Vulgarit] is sprinkled here and there, especially when [http://youtu.be/Y78OpYdEzRQ introduction are given. The show features panelists and guests discussing the latest news in politics, pop culture, entertainment, business, sports, and religion.

Guests on the show are primarily composed of political pundits, stand-up comedians, musicians, authors, and attractive women, virtually every episode containing one of each (and every single episode having an attractive female panelist sitting in the chair to the far right side of the table, affectionately referred to as the Leg Chair"). Political opinions often vary amongst the guests, with the show's main trio consisting of an oddly perfect balance: Greg's a conservative, Bill's a liberal, and Andy's a Libertarian who hates conservatives and liberals. The show often takes pot-shots at everyone and everything under the sun, including Fox News itself. Despite its middle-of-the-night timeslot, the show has beaten most primetime cable news shows in the ratings, and devloped a loyal cult following.

"Greg: "Seriously, someone could have sent this as a murder weapon. Like, all this stuff could have been used at a crime." Bill: "Your DNA is all over it." Greg: "Haha, or it will be.""
 * [[Butt Monke]: Bill is the most obvious, but all 3 of the Red Eye trio gets a turn. Bill is a Butt Monkey to Greg, who is often a Butt Monkey to Andy, who is in turn the target of jokes from both Greg AND Bill.
 * Frequent guest Paul Mecurio takes the cake, however. When he's on, Greg and Andy can be just plain mean to the guy.
 * Call Back: During a Halloween episode, a zombie from Blood Manor named Rachel would silently stand right next to people as they spoke. When asked how he stayed so calm, Andy Levy responded "She was only the second scariest Rachel I ever met," a callback to former panelist Rachel Marsden.
 * [[Catch Phras]: Greg has "And if you disagree with me, you sir, are worse than Hitler."
 * More recently, he's been using, "If you disagree with me, then you're a racist/homophobe."
 * Andy Levy often says, "I apologize for nothing," while Gutfeld "apologizes for everything."
 * Greg often opened the Mail Time with "You write, I read..." often followed by something involving blood or awesomeness, such as "You write, I read, then I run you over in a dune buggy made of FIRE!"
 * [[Cloudcuckoolande]: Greg Gutfeld, full stop. He's obsessed with unicorns, has a bizarre and twisted sense of humor, and is responsible for the majority of strange fake backstories for everyone. Even when appearing on other Fox News shows, he's just as bizarre as he is on Red Eye.
 * Comedic Sociopath: Greg Gutfeld. According to his jokes about himself, he is a globetrotting serial killer and molester with a cadre of captured, underaged boy slaves (who may or may not be sexual in nature) he calls "House Boys" he keeps locked in his basement, until he lets them up briefly to amuse him. That's when he's not forcing them to engage in disturbing "games" for their freedom. Also implied that they're all captured immigrants, none of them able to speak English.
 * [[Deadpan Snarke]: Andy Levy is the Lord God Almighty of the Deadpan Snarkers. No one is safe (Democrats, Republicans, celebrities, The Black-Eyed Peas, etc.), and his snarking can be [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndBWf0lZUJM absolutel [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TOjUKwoHUyw viciou. His Twitter feed is almost nothing but snark.
 * [[Dissimil]: Often used during the into of the show, starting with "Welcome to Red Eye. It's like..."
 * 'Where's Waldo?' if by 'Waldo' you mean 'Greg Gutfeld' and the answer is '[[Self-Deprecation|who care]?'
 * 'How the Grinch Stole Christma]', if by 'Grinch' you mean 'Bill' and 'Christmas' you mean 'my 8-ball.'(No, not [[Magic 8-Ball|that 8-ball)
 * '[[The Neverending Stor]', if by 'Story', you mean 'Itch.'
 * 'The Incredible Hulk', if by 'Hulk', you mean 'stench.'
 * [[Double Entendr]: Greg's guest intros are these.
 * "If hilarity were a bowling alley, I'd roll my balls up and down him."
 * Often crosses over into [[Refuge in Vulgarit]; one introduction even made Greg Proops (host of the [[Toilet Humor|Proops Poop] segment) recoil.
 * [[Freeze-Frame Bonu]: A running gag on the show, where either an image of Pinch making a goofy expression, or images of one of the main trio wearing a creepy metal mask, with [[Subliminal Seduction|subliminal message] such as "OBEY HIM" or "FEED IT" written below them, will flash on-screen for a second at random points in the show.
 * Freudian Tri]: Gutfeld is [[The Kirk, Schulz is The McCo], and Levy is [[The Spock.
 * [[Ignorance Is Blis]: Played straight and often exaggerated.
 * Greg believes Obama was not born in America, but in Hawaii, a "lovely little island nation."
 * Greg is utterly clueless about sports.
 * He has also boasted that the show is "built on ignorance."
 * [[Malaprope]: Greg discussing the joy of circus peni. [[Hilarity Ensue as the entire studio breaks down in laughter.
 * [[Muppe]: Another "regular panelist" is Pinch, a "puppet" that serves as the show's "New York Times Correspondent." It is a copy of the NYT with cardboard eyes and a string attached, performed by Schulz.
 * [[Metal Detector Checkpoin]: Apparently averted during a Christmas Mail Time, when a meat cleaver was brought i. [[Lampshaded] by Greg asking "How did this get into FOX?!"

"Greg: "Also, while I have your attention, I'm doing a survey: what's it like to be lonely?""
 * [[Nightmare Fac]: Frequent guest Andrew W.K. pulls off [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EqOTU89cgC4 an amazing on.
 * [[One of U]: Andy Levy is an unabashed comic book and sci-fi geek, often appearing on the show with his [[Doctor Who|Sonic Screwdrive].
 * [[Punny Nam]: Several of Greg's deceased houseboys, including "Dat Ho", "Tu Hung" and "Phen Wei Park".
 * Strawman Political: Stereotypical liberalism and conservatism is often lampooned by Greg and Bill, respectively, painting certain news figures (and often each other) as this. When they actually do lapse into stereotypical partisan politics, Andy will call them on it during the Halftime Report.
 * [[Take Tha]: All the time. Though Andy Levy is especiall [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3DFuX1hOag brutal.
 * Occasionally done by Greg to viewers that insult him in their fan mail.

"Dan: "Finally, I don't see what the big deal is about waterboarding. I took my family to the Bahamas, we went waterboarding, it was great." Greg: "Dan, that's boogieboarding." Dan: "Oh." [beat] "Well, I tried to drown my children, does that count?""
 * Time Travel: A frequent way of "explaining" how jokes made on Red Eye mysteriously end up repeated [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZhon_Ib9zk o [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtDEDTnaTa8 othe [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wTrNugvZjxk show the next day.
 * [[Unusually Uninteresting Sigh]: For every Halloween episode, a bloody zombie named Rachel, from the Halloween attraction Blood Manor, will simply loiter on set menacingly while holding a large, bloody hammer. Her presence is never acknowledged until the end of the show (where she promotes Blood Manor). One year even saw her sitting in a guest's seat, with Greg claiming she was a famous author. Whenever Greg would address her, the camera would center on her as she sat silent and unmoving, with Greg responding as if the "author" had answered his question.
 * [[Vitriolic Best Bud]: Despite all the ribbing that goes on in the show, the main trio are all good friends in real life. In fact, it was Greg who got Bill on the show in the first place.
 * [[Volleying Insult]: When appearing together, Dana Vachon and Jesse Joyce often engage in the greatest insul [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MkNa_wERrng battles ever recorded.
 * What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?: Government regulation... IS AWESOME! *frog explodes*
 * [[Would Hurt a Child|Would Make Vicious Jokes About Childre]: One episode consists of a [[Running Ga] about regular panelist Mike Baker's children. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1U9F3MrB4NE His ugly, racist childre.
 * You Keep Using That Word: Played with by guest Halftime Reporter Dan Bova.
