Tooning Out the News

It gets annoying after a while. The hosts were kind of funny for the first few episodes, but now their "jokes" are just repetitive. When they have no material, they just talk over the guest speaking or constantly interrupt them as if it's going to continue to be funny. It was cute for the first few times, but now it's just boring and those voices they make are just unbearable at this point. They just talk so fast over each other, I can barely understand what they are saying.

I thought they were just warming up as the show just started, but after giving it a few tries, I just don't get it at this point.

I had to attend two funerals recently. Both were incredibly sad events, full an almost palpable sense of mourning. Both were far funnier than this garbage.

I'm still blown away that they can produce these every day. It used to be such an enormous undertaking to write, voice, and animate for such a show. I think the technology and innovation alone makes projects like these a worthwhile endeavor.

Tooning Out the News is a fascinating vision for what the cartoon medium can achieve. It pushes the envelope in many dimensions as a show.

The show seems to capture the frantic, shattered, hypocritical, divisive, demographically segmented, and self-important nature of the current political moment perfectly. It mocks with cutting wit and eerie semblance.

The writing and voice acting are great as well. This whole endeavor could easily have been a flop if the delivery was flat and unconvicted. Instead it is banterful and wonderfully animated in timbre. As a viewer, I'm constantly pulled in by the velocity of multi-layered jokes, many of them unabashedly dry and surreal.

This show is definitely not for everyone. One definitely benefits from an interest in the type of content they are satirizing, especially if also experiencing the resultant cynicism from said affection.

I wish Colbert would just stop with this nonsense. Stick with the safer Late night show, that's where he seems to do better.

I still blame the Colbert Report for normalizing Drumpf and Magat behavior. My concern is that Magas will once again use this whow to fuel their fire, leave them feeling insulted.

Yeah, this is cartoon news, yet the cartooney voices are shrieky, loud, high pitched, hard to listen to.

The whole opackage is so disagreeable, I just can't with this.

It is as unfunny as it could possibly be. My late husbands funeral had more humor, satire, backbiting, and enjoyable nonsense than this stupid show.

I know I'm gonna get a bit of backlash, but this is boring! In fact, it's so boring, this makes Fairview look like a party. And I hate Fairview. Go see my review on that when I was AngryGamer34. Anyways, I just don't care for Steven Colbert and his brand of comedy. My question is, "How in the hell are animated characters interviewing an actual Live action politician. The only time I saw a cartoon character interview a real-life celebrity was Space Ghost Coast to Coast. And that one was WAY better than this! Weekend Update on SNL is WAY better than this! SNL TV Fun House featuring The Ambiguously Gay Duo was WAY funnier than this. Unless you want to bore yourself to sleep, I'd avoid this boring show.
