Stephen Colbert Presents Tooning Out The News

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 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.

When this came to Comedy Central, Stephen Colbert actually had the audacity to promote it in person on a commercial by looking straight into the camera and saying it was news "without bias and without spin". Has this man no shame or a single bone of decency in his entire body? What an absolute disgrace if a television show. Just another vehicle to drive a wedge of division between the American people all delivered in a Trojan horse of supposed comedy. Colbert and his partisan drivel are a cancer on our society and this bit of deranged insanity is no exception. This is just a desperate grasp by a failing network to retain viewership by peddling hate and divisiveness, the lowest of the low.

Tooning out the News is funny, creative and witty.

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.
