The Daily Show’s Samantha Bee offered up an amazing and oddball comically dramatic interpretation of Fox News’ The Five. It pretty much defies explanation but it involves what she called “a story as old as time, a story of love” between co-hosts Greg Gutfeld and Dana Perino.
I’m a Samantha Bee fan and it’s a creative, funny segment. But I have to admit I laughed more at Jon Stewart’s introduction in which he described The Five as having opinions ranging “from Wall Street conservative (co-host Eric Bolling) to 50-year-old frat-boy conservative (Gutfeld) to George W. Bush conservative (Perino) to conservative (Andrea Tantaros) to Fox liberal (Bob Beckel).” Stewart then played a clip of Beckel declaring, “No more visas for Muslim students!”

If you’re referring to their tongue in cheek hypocrisy, that’s still accidental, because you can tell they don’t realize that’s what they’re doing- Mostly because that would imply they’re smart enough to get that kinda joke.
HOW!
DARE!
YOU!

This should have followed Greg.
(Hoping the comment shows like I intended.)
Insulting the fine men who were Monty Python like that.
Besides. Monty Python were funny in order to make other people laugh WITHOUT desiring anyone else suffer from their actions. The “Five”—not so much. They’re rarely funny (on purpose) and they certainly do NOT care how much suffering occurs on the part of the people watching them.
