The Daily Show: Difference between revisions

* [[Author Filibuster]]: The "Meet Me at Camera Three" segments.

** Also, the anti-pornography segments.

* [[Beat]]: If you notice, in his opening monologues, his blue paper shuffling and tapping often serves to properly time out the comedic beat.

** The final part [http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/mon-october-20-2008/governor-palin-clarification here.]

** [http://tv.gawker.com/5497006/the-jon-stewart-clip-that-will-make-glenn-beck-cry-real-tears This.] [http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/thu-march-18-2010/conservative-libertarian Just this.] I think we can add "equating progressivism to [[Commie Nazis|Nazicommunism]]" to the list.

*** Really, any hyperbolic comparison to Nazicommunism. He has no time for anyone of any political ideology who uses [[Hitler Ate Sugar]], and it's one issue that causes him to drop the comedic tone and get serious.

** Let's also add hiding behind a religion to make death threats on [[South Park|the staff of other shows on the same network]]. You see, Jon Stewart has respect for [[Fox News]], even though it might seem otherwise, because as he's noted before they have a mission and they stick to it like glue. [http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/thu-april-22-2010/south-park-death-threats He has NONE for the people in the same city his shows are taped in using the Islamic faith merely as a means to induce terror.]

** As of August 4th, 2010, Congressional Republicans voted against a bill giving aid to rescuers of 9/11 victims. [http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/wed-august-4-2010/i-give-up---9-11-responders-bill This was his response.]

*** The bill was finally passed about a week later, with many crediting that episode as a major reason for it happening.

*** Stewart's continued focus on the issue also lead to his being appointed to the board of directors for the National 9/11 Memorial in late January of 2011.

** Minor, but a nerve that Sarah Palin touched: Pit bulls as vicious murderers. They're not actually any more aggressive than, say, golden retrievers, so unless you think goldies are dangerous, he's probably going to get very mad at you.

* [[Big No]]: [http://www.thedailyshow.com/video/index.jhtml?videoId=189149&title=gaffe-in Just one example].

** Subverted on [http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/mon-august-23-2010/the-parent-company-trap 8/23/2010], where Jon starts going into the [[Big No]], but the view doesn't change to the dramatic camera angle. He turns to a different camera to try again... and another... and another...

* [[Bodyguard Babes]]: After she defended her [[May-December Romance|much older husband]], [[Fox News Channel|Rupert Murdoch]], from a pie-throwing prankster, Jon treated Wendi Murdoch like this.

* [[Breakout Character]]: [[Stephen Colbert]] started off as a Correspondent here.

* [[Brick Joke]]: While anything that can be used as such, IS used as such, on August 16, 2010, Jon Stewart told John Oliver that his "[[This Trope Is Bleep|F*** ing]] Stupid English Accent" was offensive. No points for guessing what the first thing out of [[Emma Thompson|Emma Thompson's]] mouth was when she came on for the interview at the end of the show.

*** Oliver himself thinks of the US Soccer team as this ("I'm here with the US ''pffft'' hahahahah! No, no, I've got it... ''[[Tear Jerker|Sudan, Sudan, Sudan]]''. Hi, I'm ''HAHAHAHA!''"), but when he sees they're not as bad as he expected he gives them "helpful vacation tips" for visiting South Africa like "Go on a nighttime stroll in Soweto in all your fanciest jewelry."

** Wyatt Cenac, as the youngest member of the team, often gets this as well: for instance, while everybody else was given their own promotional advertisements, Wyatt was forced to make his own (with things like [[Unsound Effect|Wyatt saying "laser sounds"]] in place of actual laser sounds), and is forced to stop at the end to allow Jason Jones to shoot additional footage for his own ad atop a horse surrounded by models.

** [[New Meat|New correspondent]] and [[Twofer Token Minority]] (black and female) Jessica Williams was sent into a disaster zone for her first assignment, then became a hobo, and was ignored by a Fifties-style panel of all-male correspondents until she put on a mustache.

*** Later, she revealed that she used to be ''white'' before she went to college and, as Rick Santorum put it: "Was remade in President Obama's image."
