HBN: 7 Hypocritical Moments in Fox's Letterman/Palin Report

people need to get their heads out of their asses and not be so dam sensitive when ANYONE tells a joke or says anything. toeknee, you need to get YOUR cock out of your mouth and realize that people being "politically correct" is ruining free speech in this country

I'm watching all the old hate by numbers and really enjoying them. Pity Gladstone isn't a better presenter, because he always has amazing content and very funny jokes.

Amen to you Gladdy. This silly reactionary pop-feminism gets on my nerves and it runs totally contrary to the entire equality and freedom basis of the original feminist movement.

HBN has continued to improve, kudos Gladstone. Plus, Fox News is insane and hypocritical. Not that other news programs aren't hypocritical, it's just Fox News makes the word 'ignorance' blush.

idk how this can make somebody so angry. he provided a point of view with analysis and appropriately deconstructed the argument put forward by Anne Coulter and others who have shown outrage over a joke about women when Fox News has characterized them in a much more negative light...."Mood Swings".

Nice try hate by numbers fag. You somehow missed the whole reason this was an issue to begin with. Willow was the daughter that was with her at the game. She is 14. Letterman joked that she was "knocked" up by a baseball player, hence making it statutory rape. You fucks keep attacking someone that was running as a VP and went back to Alaska to finish her term. Why such hate? Cause you clowns are scared as fuck of her? Keep your diapers on for the moment. How bout you all take Obama's cock out of your mouths and start "Cracking" some jokes about him? There is plenty of fodder there....

Damn good video Gladstone. It really is hard to believe how this whole thing is so divisive. I almost jumped into some political commentary, but I don't want to be that guy. Kudos.

07/07/2009 11:57:00 AM

carbonbasedlife

The Letterman incident by itself seems silly to complain about, yes. But you are missing the point. This is part of the bigger problem; that the media should NOT be attacking politicians' families. Imagine if that was your daughter or neice Letterman was joking about. It wouldn't be so funny then. The way libreal media has been attacking Palin through her kids (especially the one with down syndrome) is below the belt, tateless, and completely unethical. Bristol and Willow are not running for office, and their lives are none of our business. That's what these women are trying to say.

It should be pretty clear that the transgressions being mocked here are so profoundly disingenuous, that the video's satirizing of them is beyond political. Nevertheless blind conservatives attacked this and knee-jerk liberals praised it. It's disheartening a bit.

drzin, you nailed it. I like people who bring up free speech only when it agrees to their view, other than that it's a hate crime. Gladstone reminds me of whomever that douchbaggery guy was, just less funny. Take the safe road gladstone, it's much safer...because it's safe. er. than another presumably less safe road.

07/03/2009 03:45:00 PM

TheUnitedEmpire

This was an awesome one Gstone. Also, am I the only one who fails to see the sexism in the joke Letterman made? I'm not defending it, it was probably over the line, I just don't see how it is sexist. Just because it was a joke about a woman having sex does not make it sexist.

Right on the money, Gladstone. Although trying to find sense in a FOX News broadcast is like trying to find a cactus on a glacier. Still pretty funny, though.

Supercollider73

Letterman is a pretty shitty comedian who jumped the shark years ago. Palin is just a typical politician who would do anything to score free political points. This (non) controversy is a win-win for the both of them. Seriously, its pretty obvious Letterman was getting at the older one. The fact that his Arod comment came out while the 14 year old was in the stands only shows that Letterman is incompetent, unable to get his facts straight; not that he's a deliberate hater who would go that low. Oh yeah, and to the comment "does 4 years really make that much a difference?". Well, ya, it kinda does actually. (I mean other than one being legal, one not) If you aren't aware of the drastic difference in maturity levels between 14 year and 18 year old, I don't know what to tell you. Hell, even 20 verses 24 is pretty drastic.

Even if it was Willow Dave was referring to, was the joke that offensive? Sexuallizing Her? What? She has hit puberty. Whether people like it or not by that age a girl is sexually mature. Disclaimer: I am not saying that Willow is having sex or indeed that any fourteen year old should be having sex, but sexuallizing, come on. Anyway, sweet episode Gladstone

I understood Letterman's joke and I thought it was hilarious. To me it was ovious that he was talking about the older daughter who had gotten recently pregnant with her loser boyfriend...OPEN FOR COMEDIC use in my opinion. Letterman had NOTHING to apologize about... at least not that joke...

06/25/2009 08:34:00 AM

woolf2k

politics aside. The cnn skit was funny due to the situation and witty original observations. Retelling an unfunny joke using fox news as a filter was just pretty lame. I though comedy 101 was if you have to explain the joke, you failed.

I think the flap was silly, too, but considering there's more than enough ammo to go after someone like Olbermann and that she-beast Garawfulho he has on so often, I'd like to see a little balance sometime. The media is full of Fox-bashing and Fox is the only one that doesn't toe the party line, so let's see some of this from the other end.

I think I'm most disappointed in Letterman for apologizing. He did nothing wrong. If we can make fun of movie stars and singers, who are private citizens, why not politicians? And their families are included, because people do make fun of famous siblings when able.

@ nin992 Please review the definitions for liberal and conservative. It is not "tree hugging liberals" that are "ruining" comedy or who want their comedy "edge-free." Just look at the show South Park, many consider that to be a liberal show because it is so edgy. I could be considered a "tree hugging liberal" and I am furious that people are making David Letterman's comment a big deal, my only qualm with it was that I just didn't find it to be a funny or witty joke in general. I had no problem with the basis of it.

It's too bad: obviously, cracked.com has always had a `liberal' bias (`liberals' being the American term for `socialist'), but I nevertheless thought it was fun for being an equal opportunity satirizer. Now, with this piece, and the recent one, `Shady Agendas Behind Seven Conspiracy Theories', or something, I fear it is becoming a lame Daily Kos or (even worse) Media Matters. Whatever those places are, cracked team, they AIN'T FUNNY.

06/23/2009 09:52:00 AM

R.B.Glennie

This just in: Even if Letterman did mean the 14 year old, and didn't have his facts wrong about who was there, 14 year olds get preggers all the time anyway. Not that shocking anymore.

06/23/2009 08:30:00 AM

meh. Not really funny. Seems like you're trying to convince yourself and others that Dave was talking about Bristol, the 18 year old who was in AK at the time and not Willow the 14 year old who was in NY with Palin, as reported by every newspaper carrying an article covering Palin's trip. It was also a stretch trying to equate rude comments about a public politician to shameful remarks about a child. You should stay out of politics or at a minimum be funny about it.

It seems like the best way to silence free speech in this country is to cry sexism/homophobia/racism/religious bigotry at anything that offends you. I'm a liberal but the PC bullshit in this country is infuriating. I'm convinced that only a minority of people in this country actually get offended by stuff like this but they're always the loudest when they get butt hurt. Reminds me of that subnormality comic they put up a while ago...

Faux news is a laughable source of unbiased news, but I think we can agree that making jokes about about a failed vp's daughter daughter, especially this far after the election, is a little less than classy.

god this culture is so worried about political correctness that it sickens me. Do you know what happens to humor when you take all the edge away. It's not funny. But I guess that's how these tree hugging liberals want their comedy.

Thank you! Sarah Palin was profiting her own daughter on this. Besides, the joke was really about A-Rod. Not about Sarah's daughters. Geez, people, a joke is a joke. I didn't realize that JOKING about getting someone pregnant equals really doing it. Sheesh!

Freakin' a. If you're going to make jokes about fox getting things wrong, you need to do the same. The 14 year old was with Sarah in NY. That was the whole problem of the Letterman joke. Fox didn't make the error. Dave did. And he admitted to being wrong....for the most part. Now go sexualize yourself.....

@ SteveHardon: No, I don't think that's obvious at all. Willow is the daughter who came with Palin to New York, therefore Willow is the daughter who hypothetically would have been knocked up.

PiercedGeek

Ah, Gladstone, that was awesome. How exactly is a single joke, by a comedian who's job is to be mildly offensive, about a girl who got pregnant GETTING PREGNANT so offensive to these people? It has nothing to do with "woman's rights." If Palin had a son who knocked up his girlfriend rather than a pregnant daughter, then Letterman would make some sort of joke about the son instead. It's not like he's taking away her right to vote or to get a job. He's making an off-color joke, like he does every night, because it's what he's paid to do. Geez...

06/22/2009 02:42:00 PM

Why again should Letterman be fired??? He is still and almost always has been the highest rated late night show. He is the best. Of course his jokes arn't always good. and he knows that. i meant they have to write jokes everynight. ever listen to Leno's? And of course he was talking about the stupid daughter that got pregnant who is now 18.

"I don't want to stir up a political shitstorm here, But wasn't the joke about Willow Palin?" No, it was about Bristol, the 18 year old who actually got knocked up. Letterman didn't specify what daughter he was talking about, but it's pretty clear he meant Bristol. The Palins just pretended like it was about Willow so they could act more outraged.

Normally, political videos and articles would result in vicious flame-wars in the comments. But I think, regardless of political affliction, we can all sit back, point fingers, and laugh at Fox News. Bravo, Gladstone.

Awesome! Political commentary at it's finest!!! I especially like you comparing clips from FOX News that obviously trivialize the accomplishments of Secretary of State Clinton by talking only about her looks or her stereotypical "female" qualities. Bravo, G-Stone! Bravo.

I don't want to stir up a political shitstorm here, But wasn't the joke about Willow Palin? The 14 year old daughter. I think the joke was lame but it's not like letterman ever tells any good ones. I think letterman should be fired, but not because of the joke. Because he is a lame asshole.

If conservatives want to stop being made fun of more than any other party then they need to stop being bigger assholes than any other party.

I love the excuse "oh, nobody would dare joke about Obama's kids getting knocked up". Last time I checked, neither of them really did, so that joke would make absolutely no sense.

@ Tempest_01: Your claim that the clips they took from Fox were jokes they laughed about later, was kind of the point. They were jokes. It is hypocritical to say that they were ok to say what they did because they were jokes, but not for Letterman to do so. @Eilem17: Every female is someone s daughter, just as every male is someone s son. By your argument therefore no jokes should ever be told about people. Justification FAIL. People need to stop being so damn hypersensitive. "Ohh no that person said something I don't like. I'm going to get them fired, or sue them." By allowing this sort of behavior we have turned the U.S. into a worldwide joke. Ohh wait did that comment offend someone?

06/22/2009 11:48:00 AM

DarwinsBulldog

Wow, what the hell happened to Gladstone? Since he came back from that sabbatical he's been reaaaalllll unfunny. I'm hoping he gets his mojo back, because this is kinda garbage day.

06/22/2009 11:46:00 AM

Shinfisher3

Wow, nice chopping of the comments on the FOX news clips. Most of the stuff here is funny but saying FOX's position is the clips in question when they were: (1) made by a commentator like the guy from the Bill O clip from the california men's rights group (2) Cutting clips mid sentence to take out of context. I guess the whole senence doesn't fit the view without editing. Kinda like they did in newspapers way back when they were relevant.. "I f'ing hate the damn people attacking Jews" could become "I f'ing hate the damn...Jews."

Ellem17 sez: "Political humor fails if you're going to be partisan about it." Which is why Dennis Miller is so goddamned annoying, and why Fox's Half-Hour News Hour tanked right off the bat.

Absolutely. He's not ribbing conservatives, just douchebag hypocrites who live in such a state of cognitive dissonance that they're able to shit into a box and call it a rainbow. Ahem. In any case, Bristol, a LEGAL ADULT, sort of drew herself (further) into the arena when she went on tour to promote abstinence. I mean please, people...

06/22/2009 11:03:00 AM

I take offence to the shortening of the episode's introduction. You made up for it, however, by having that awesome zinger #2 thrown. Nice job, Gladstone :D

06/22/2009 11:00:00 AM

Tartra

Sure there are some idiots in the comments today, they are offended because Gladstone makes fun of some people for overreacting like fucking morons and claim that the whole video is an attack to the republicans/conservatives. From these comments, you would think that they are basically the same, from the perspective of self proclaimed conservatives/republicans, since not even once Gladstone mentioned either group in the video.

06/22/2009 10:50:00 AM

Gamble

Protesters: "LEAVE PALIN ALONE!!!" Y'see, these are the kind of HBN episodes I love! Pointing out the hypocritical statements that people make, and turning them into comedy! It's kinda why I didn't like the music video-related HBN's: they're not hollow or dumb statements, just lyrics. Ellem17: I sort of agree: making jokes about teenage daughters getting knocked up is really low and mean. I know if I had a daughter in the same situation, I'd be pissed at whoever made a joke about it. But that's why Letterman apologized. In two takes, apparently. Good try on not getting people upset about partisanship, Gladstone.

Awesome, been watching c0ctopus' fox news videos on youtube, great to see Gladstone doing it too.. that 'news' channel deserves everybody showing how crap it is

Agreed with Scruff. This episode had nothing to do with conservativism, just idiots being stupid. Morons see Fox News and immediately go "ZOMGWTFHAX U LIBERAL FAGGOT" and in turn make themselves into idiots as well, only promoting the stereotypes they fail to counter. Of course, that's funny in itself, so keep up the good work!

HBN I loved your videos, they are always comedy genius. All of you haters out there saying "OMGZOR REPUB HATER KICK HIM OFF TEH SITE" shut the hell up. Gladstone doesn't make fun of anyone because of their political affiliation, he makes fun of them because they are acting like idiots.

ellem got it right. These cracked videos are just boring lately. And it's been all about hating conservatives lol. Also, like, half of those comments in the vid that weren't part of greta's show were total jokes where they laughed it up afterward and spoke seriously. Cracked get on the ball.

"I know i'm suppose to be too cool to read comments and/or react to them, but obviously i'm not. In any event, I'm glad most of you guys like it, but the thing that got me to write was no, "chvld" he was not talking about Willow. Palin and her cronies keep saying he was to make him look like a pedophile and distract that they are offending that he was "sexualizing" and obviously sexually active 18 yr old. In his first of two apologies, he stressed it was Bristol." Oooh, okay. So since he was making fun of Bristol, who is 18, NOW the joke's okay. The fours years makes all the difference. Justification FAIL. Making sexual jokes like that about people's daughters is hands-down inappropriate. You wanna make fun of a politician? Fine. But leave their goddamn family the fuck out of it. You won't hear young Sasha or Malia ever talked about that sort of way--not only the more liberal news outlets I'm sure you lefties prefer. This video was yet another disappointment. As of lately Crack

feralboy12

Bristol wasnt even in NYC, so I find the excuse "It was obviously about Bristol," very hard to believe. Willow, the 14 year old, was in NYC. HBN, you aren't funny and your constant complaining about Republicans gets really annoying. If you were ever in a bar like the one in your background, you clearly wouldn't belong. You probably consider yourself an intelligent, young, liberal, when you're just an annoying liberal.

When you're a politician with a misbehaving daughter, guess what? You get jokes thrown at you. Everyone knows and accepts this. Except, of course, Sarah Palin, who instead decides to throw a hissy fit, thereby making the joke even more well-known and pitting anyone with a sense of humor, or a basic understanding of the word 'forgiveness,' against her. What's more is she's milking it for publicity, turning the focus of the entire issue so that she can praise troops and make herself look like the heart-broken victim of an actual crime. I commend you, Gladstone, on this one.

It was Willow, the younger daughter, that was with Governor Palin at the game. He did not get pregnant and is underage so it's inappropriate. Everything else in this video is funny, but it must be clear that Letterman wasn't belittling Bristol, he was belittling Willow, who has done nothing wrong and is underage.

06/22/2009 09:16:00 AM

williamcombs

I would get angry about somebody else bashing Fox News, when even though they are conservative they actually do attempt to be somewhat fair and balanced but honestly at this point I just don't give a shit. This whole issue is stupid Letterman made a joke in poor taste he apologized Palin accepted his apology its over let it go. The news stopped being worth watching when Cronkite retired.

Simple joke = bad press creation by Fox = Dave's ratings going up/hopefully people remembering how negative republicans like things = no Palin 2012. Of course it ill probably be used in a look back at how hard poor Sarah had it in her lead up to president and how strong she is. I derno. Loved it Wayne. you sir, are an average.

Greta had no business acting self righteous and preachy and playing 'Yes Man' to those two morons when she herself is guilty of the same behaviour as Letterman. And further more everbody should STFU because it was just a joke and it's not like..." Brain cell 1: "KILL THE NON BELIEVER!1!!"

Hey, I'm a Libertarian, so I'm Fox News' side 90% of the time. However, I'll be the first to admit that ALL sides of the political spectrum can and should be lampooned. And besides, this HBN was funny. . . and so was Letterman's joke. Granted, I think it was good that Letterman apologized, because it WAS in poor taste, but still, just let it go at that. Hell, even Sarah Palin accepted the apology. Besides, Greta van S. is creepy, and so were those two ladies she was interviewing. Oh, and Gladstone--great use of "zingers"--glad to see they're back!

He wasn't talking about Bristol but Willow Palin. Willow is only 14 years old. She was also the second daughter when that one women talked about two daughters. I still hate Faux news though.

@howler24 Gladstone often makes fun of cable news networks via HBN. Most of the time he makes fun of CNN. This time it just so happened to be Fox News. Clearly they were being hypocritical on this matter. Go back to watching Mind of Mencia, deet da dee.

06/22/2009 07:16:00 AM

This is one of the funniest HBN to date. Anyone who comments either is a Gladstone hater and hasn't even bothered to watch the video, or is simply a cretin (not that someone can't be both).

"And everyone will think we're hip and edgy, and like how we expose them as really conservative, and stuff!" "And all the comment-zombies will cheer us on!" "Awwwwwwwesome!" Way to break new ground, Cracked.

This is Fox News at the top of the hour. Our latest story 'Protesters gather outside the apartment of Gladstone in protest of his sexualizing 4-5 women during his latest Hate by Numbers. The protesters are demanding his termination despite his popularity and hillarity. Several woman are also seeking financial reperations for the trauma they have suffered from his sexualizing them. Despite the proof that 1. They have never met nor talked to Gladstone. & 2. They've never even been in the same state as him.' We'll bring you more of this story later. But first our continued crusade to sexualize every woman, make the Democratic party out to be Nazi's and our attempts to get woman to quit their jobs and remain at home as happy little House Wives. This is Fox News.
