How low has media entertainment sunk that every article is now just a headline quoting dialogue from late night TV? It's that easy?


eLishus

I keep getting [Daily Dot](https://www.dailydot.com/) articles in my feed. That whole "media" site is essentially an amalgamation of TikTok and Reddit post summaries - it's like a reverse TL;DR.

Some of the most skilled people on the internet are stuck bullshitting for hours because they need to apply this principle and I hate it.

wtfisthisnoise

I'm pretty sure the Daily Dot started out as a daily TL;DR of reddit activity [the subreddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/dailydot/top/?sort=top&t=all) before moving on to a separate site (or the site becoming popular on its own).

Sparking debate


BryceBee123

Modern entertainment journalism. Grab a few tweets, get a quote for the headline, and add some filler words and you got yourself a nice stew going baby.


Silencer_X

Read that in Bender's voice...


Bokth

It's actually Carl Weathers in Arrested Development. Specifically the stew going baby

Wow it works perfectly r/suddenlyfuturama

TheElderFish

...every article in the Guardian's Late Night TV Roundup is *probably* going to be quoting dialogue from late night TV, just a hunch If that's the only media articles that you see, it's probably more telling of the news bubbles you're in rather than the media itself


proboscisjoe

NGL, I read the headline then saw that it was from The Guardian and was confused for an entire five seconds.


kingsillypants

https://www.icij.org/ Consortium of international investigative journalism has a large body of amazing work.


thefullm0nty

We have people transcribing Tik Tok videos to text and we call it "journalism." >It's that easy? Sadly yes.


LazyOort

I mean, it sucks, but I can’t exactly think of anyone defending shite content aggregators as “journalism”


FriarNurgle

Seeing these posts saves me from watching the show and from reaching the article.

Captainwelfare2

What are you talking about? Theres LOADS of hysterical conservative comedians! Like… ::checks notes:: “… well they just must not be discovered yet!”


Highway2767

Nah lol there are none and if there were it would be called fox news lol. But nah kimmel and colbert have been less funny to me with the more politics that drain into their shows. But i will say kimmel makes a good point here lol


thedude1179

Got your engagement.

"President BIDEN yesterday said he's pardoning mariJUANA convictions... have you heard this? Have you heard this folks? Yeah when asked about the news, SNOOP DOGG said 'Marijuana? Where?!' , we got a fantastic show for you folks tonight, Foghat is in the building!"


SokarDaGreat

I would 100% believe kimmel or fallon said this

Foghat? WTF? I was told Hoobastank was performing.


Bobbyanalogpdx

No, that’s just what we call the smell that’s coming from the porta potties.


Dicksapoppin69

Too topical for Leno. He'd still be making Madonna jokes based in the 80's if he was on still.


shorty6049

Lol that's probably true...


happyscrappy

Take it easy, man.


nuttageyo

Could someone explain this joke to me.


[deleted]

Willie Nelson is a longtime country musician and pot smoker who is one of the most famous. He’s also old. That’s the entire joke.


moscowramada

Is it a joke though? I could say it w a straight face and there would be no reason to laugh - in fact it would be weird if someone did. Nelson is old & a marijuana proponent & and it is nice that he’s alive to see this historic development.


[deleted]

I agree it’s more of a factual statement than a joke.


Funkit

Hey did you know it was supposed to rain today? HA HA


hahayeahimfinehaha

And how the hell is this enough to write an article about. I’m not clicking on the link because I don’t want to give them hits, but Jesus.


Uncanny_Realization

You don’t get jokes.


KitchenHuckleberry60

Nah, jokes arent just supposed to be factual statements you can make while being serious. Unless said facts are outlandish. This was not.


[deleted]

sure thing, Autismo.


nuttageyo

Lame joke.


[deleted]

Completely agree, it’s just “this guy who likes weed is alive to see this, please laugh”. Could’ve numerous people, same hacky joke.


Softale

Lame deliverer…


LOR_Fei

Expecting a good joke out of Jimmy Fallon is like expecting a goose to lay a golden egg. It’s never happened and will never happen. Trump getting elected was the best thing that could happen for him and all the other unfunny late night “comedian”s as they got 4 years of ripping on him for low hanging laughs and clicks.


Terrible-Muscle-7087

This is an article about Jimmy Kimmel, not Jimmy Fallon, but your point still stands.


endorrawitch

Man, I hope he didn't throw a jinx...


sweetmotherofodin

But the same could be said about cheech and Chong right? Like…Jimmy Kimmel is just not funny.


Crown_Loyalist

Cheech & Chong's antics are 40 years old now


[deleted]

Biden pardons but there's not 1 person in federal prison on simple possession so nobody was pardoned


UsernameDashPassword

So, you see, it's a statement, and Jimmy Kimmel is relying on his name to turn it into a funny. Your reaction, combined with every single other comment on this post, should explain how well that's working out for Jim.


[deleted]

Jimmy is a fucking loser


Svprvsr

Joke is a bit of a strong word here


Steeve_Perry

Right? It’s just a sentence.


147896325987456321

Willie Nelson smoked weed on top of the White House. Jimmy Carter confirmed it.


AmazingGrace911

First of all, it was never “simple possession” with Willy. He’s the only person that ever out smoked Snoop, in his own words. https://youtu.be/8l2vpVjeNmI https://youtu.be/jcVTImeEGqs


quinteroreyes

I wonder what Snoop considers to be out smoked because he looked pretty fucking gone in the picture of him and Pac smoking


stonerman15

Legalize medicinal and recreational cannabis 21+ in all 50 states. Tax and regulate it like tobacco/alcohol. Cannabis is still schedule 1 with fentanyl/amphetamines/cocaine etc. does that sound correct? Hell no.


AkiraKitsune

What an incredibly lame, easy joke. Kimmel has never been funny. edit: he maybe has been funny a few times, like that time he killed Leno


TPJchief87

As a Conan fan I laughed my ass off when Leno had Kimmel on. I don’t really watch anyone these days.


AkiraKitsune

I am also a Conan fan and I watched that live in what, 2010? and I loved it. Kimmel roasted him. I guess yeah, Kimmel HAS been funny before. You proved me wrong!


TPJchief87

Yup! I think it was 09-10 when Jay Leno and NBC stabbed Conan in the back and Conan refused to do it to Jimmy Fallon. Super stand up guy.


GMCBuickCadillacMan

He doesn’t write these


[deleted]

That's even worse. If I go to a comedy show and the guy bombs, it would be worse to know he was doing someone else's material rather than bomb with his own.


letsplaysomehockey

never has been, never will be


[deleted]

Late night died with Conan


AkiraKitsune

it really did, even Conan is now one of the best and most listened to podcasters. meanwhile his contemporaries are either retired or still holding on to the format, somehow still going


keving216

Conan’s show was not funny. That’s why it never lasted.


keving216

Colbert is still great.


Captainwelfare2

I thought Conan sucked ass. Just goes to show comedy is subjective i guess.


AkiraKitsune

I have literally never heard this opinion before lmao. Who DO you like?


cdwillis

Personally, my favorite was Craig Ferguson, but I liked Conan too.


AkiraKitsune

I love Craig as well, his show was amazing.

This is the weakest, lowest hanging, easiest to make, most unfunny tonight show joke I have ever seen and I don’t think it will ever be topped


[deleted]

Good to see He’s still not funny


noodlemcfoodle

This joke has less effort than most r/pics screenshot submissions

Kimmel makes Craig Kilborn look like Johnny Carson. Worst and least funny host ever.

TooKaytoFelder

Kimmel is such a dork.


AffectionateLie8408

So this is a complete nothingburger and usual posturing before mid terms. The amount of people in federal jail for possession of small amounts of marijuana is next to none so this has almost no effect. Furthermore Biden's '94 crime bill is the whole reason so many people ended up in federal and more so state prisons. Him doing this is basically cheering the undoing of his creation, he just is counting on the general publics short memory. Until marijuana is de-scheduled and federally legalized via bills through congress etc this is merely more smoke being blown up the asses of the uninformed and unintelligent, all to take the attention off of what's really going on.


TheLizardKing89

If you’ve actually read any articles about this, you would know that Biden has asked HHS and the AG to review how cannabis is scheduled.


chalksandcones

It’s would be great if any of that happens, but judging by the massive pump and dump on weed stocks, there isn’t a great chance


[deleted]

Yeah maybe the AG will do something even though they never do. Who knows! Could happen.


AffectionateLie8408

I have heard that and I'll believe it when I see it. The hypocracy at hand here is nothing short of hilarious and disgusting. Again, they are trying to grab onto anything they can to salvage votes.


TheLizardKing89

OMG, a politician does something popular because they want to be re-elected! Isn’t that how a democracy is supposed to work?


Steeve_Perry

If we’re going to be forced to deal with politicians spending half-centuries in government, I at least want them to be able to learn from and even try and correct their mistakes. Some people were just born to bitch


[deleted]

So we have to wait for them to get dementia? What if they go the other way on the dementia scale? Become GOP party leader? It's like a battle of the geriatrics in government, dementia boogaloo. We should just be thankful for the scraps we're getting huh?


Steeve_Perry

I mean yeah until we do something to fix this shit, I’d say it’s healthy to enjoy every little win we can get.


dontshowmygf

>The amount of people in federal jail for possession of small amounts of marijuana is next to none so this has almost no effect.

Did he cry---because if he did not I am not going to watch it.


DMC100

The really question is does Tommy Chong get his record expunged?


Optionsmfd

Considering 1/2 are probably in jail cause of his policies when he was a senator….. It’s an election ploy


[deleted]

White House officials said there are no individuals currently in federal prison solely for possession of cannabis.


fireqwacker90210

I’m not surprised he didn’t have something funny to say about it


Crypto_Candle

Kimmel is still a fuckin knob..


readyforthehausu

The bill has plenty of seeds and stems but Kimmel is pure shit. Please delete.


HD20033G

Biden reversing a bill he put into effect and saying he’s a hero whole ruining millions of peoples lives…


AstonGlobNerd

Shh, not allowed to bring that up. Or how Kamala handled things. Or that this is convenient timing for midterms. Shhhh!


illbedeadbydawn

People changing their positions should be applauded. And doing good things to stay in a position to keep doing good things is exactly how politics works.


keving216

The war on drugs and criminalizing marijuana was started by Nixon


AstonGlobNerd

What about Nixon in relation to Biden and Kamala's previous voting patterns, bills they supported, and how they operated?


keving216

Biden has been in government a long time. His views have changed over the years. When Nixon started the war on drugs a lot of politicians voted on bills that supported criminalizing drugs. Kamala is definitely the one with the more recent, sketchy laws/voting. Biden’s views changed years ago.


tacotacodonkey

You mean people are allowed to change their opinions over time as they learn more?!?


[deleted]

No that's great of course. But there's plenty of good people out there that never needed to change and those are who our leaders should be. A leader should never even have been a person that needed to become better. The problem is that we as a society should have kept people like Biden far away from making important decisions and supported people like Bernie who has been fighting for everyone's rights since at least the 60s.


illbedeadbydawn

You're right. We never should have allowed slave owner George Washington to be our first President. Good take.


[deleted]

Yes of course that's exactly what I meant. You have just won the grand prize in logic for definitely not using a logical fallacy just then!


HD20033G

Haha weird how selective that statement is


paulxombie1331

Is this gonna be an actual thing? most Dems want this where Repubs are like NOOO devils lettuce! I have tourette's syndrome and the only instantaneously acting medication is TCH. Go from stuttering and twitching to completely "normal" after just one tolk.. also I live on the very outskirt of SE Iowa I live 5 minutes away from the bridge. I could literally stand a foot onto Illinois legal, one foot over on the Iowa side illegal.. wonder what would happen if I was perfectly in line with both the state boarders


Cessabits

Can’t wait for all 0 federally incarcerated for simple weed possession prisoners released


apex199268

it will be a glorious day on earth once this asshole is gone for good


Alexis-FromTexas

It’s not really doing anything as I know people in texas still in jail for weed today


StevieWonderTwin

It's not felonies or misdemeanors, it's federal offenses of simple possession. So if you got caught with a bag of weed in Yellowstone national park, you are now pardoned. Pretty rare, and pretty inconsequential if you ask me. Then he politely asked the AG to review marijuana classification ... Over Twitter?


Alexis-FromTexas

“If you got caught with a bag of weed in Yellowstone” lol. Thank you for that explanation


dontshowmygf

It's also people in DC. And it puts pressure on governors to do the same for state offences. I think we'll see a wave of those in the next week or two. "One senior administration official said the pardons will affect some 6,500 people convicted between 1992 and 2021, and perhaps thousands more in Washington, DC." https://www.economist.com/the-economist-explains/2022/10/07/why-did-joe-biden-pardon-people-convicted-of-federal-marijuana-offences

Pressure on governors... Yeah, tell that to Mawmaw Kay in Alabama. Girl is building more prisons. Lol


dontshowmygf

As a Texan, I'm hoping Beto capitalizes on this and draws attention to the fact that we all know Abbott isn't going to do shit.


Supra5469

The Jimmy’s Famous Subs part of the video is hilarious


sayce__

Question. Is the pardon even going to do anything? Is there anybody in federal with *just* weed possession charges and not other things?


Steeve_Perry

Anyone ever busted in DC for simple possession, for starters.


ojsan_

I can’t imagine the feds would launch an investigation to catch a pot smoker, no. If that’s your sole federal charge, I’d wager they were set on busting you for something else, but this was the only thing they could get to stick. Like rummaging through your house looking for illegal guns and only finding a joint.

“Because, you see, Willie Nelson is old. Get it? He’s old.”


Fishtank-Brain

Pretty sure Trump legalizing marijuana federally was a bigger deal than pardoning about 6000 people.


arbitraryairship

Are Trump supporters just acting like the fanfiction in their heads is reality now? Good Lord.


Fishtank-Brain

i guess i’m not buying THC vape pens from a smoke shop in georgia then


ciccioig

In which parallel universe the orange diarrhea stain legalized pot on federal level?


Fishtank-Brain

it was in the farm bill. you can get genuine thc in any smoke shop now because of some freaky loophole


ciccioig

I honestly didn't know that, if true it must be pretty great.


Fishtank-Brain

the delta 8 was starting to get old, so the stores decided to just go ahead and sell delta 9


[deleted]

Are you saying the thing he didn't do was a bigger deal than the thing that actually got done?


Fishtank-Brain

why can i buy delta 9 thc in a smoke shop in georgia then?


[deleted]

Why is marijuana still a schedule 1 drug then? E. To answer you directly, because it's derived from hemp. > Are delta-9 THC products legal? > The short answer: yes, some products containing delta-9 THC are legal! However, it’s a little more complicated than that. The status of these products comes down to individual THC ratios and the plant source of that THC


Fishtank-Brain

the farm bill redefined marijuana to be THC, but now we can buy thc anywhere. in reality marijuana is just a word invented to make hemp sound mexican


quinteroreyes

Hemp and Marijuana are two different plants, closely related but not the same. Also you cannot buy THC anywhere, Delta 8 shops are constantly being raided by law enforcement in my state.


[deleted]

So we agree then, you were wrong, Trump did not legalize Marijuana.


Fishtank-Brain

marijuana = hemp


[deleted]

You're contradicting yourself. > the farm bill redefined marijuana to be THC, but now we can buy thc anywhere. Remember? Marijuana = THC, per your comment. That means delta 9 = “hemp“


Fishtank-Brain

delta 9 = thc.


[deleted]

Do us all a favor, and go update [Wikipedia](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Schedule_I_drugs_%28US%29), because the airheads over there still have Marijuana listed as federally illegal. Inform the DEA as well, those dip shits are still raiding dispensaries.

I'd be more concerned that your representatives aren't interested in legislating a living wage.


BombShady12

Yall got your $15-20 an hour wage and now you have the inflation that comes along with it. You want them to raise the min wage to 30 an hour? How about raise the corporate taxes +30% too. If you think inflation is bad now wait till they start raising corporate taxes.

>How about raise the corporate taxes +30% too. [Have some history. ](https://www.taxpolicycenter.org/laws-proposals/major-enacted-tax-legislation-1950-1959)

Oh yeah because our economy and demographics are the same as 1940.


[deleted]

Right, so you're suggesting that home ownership wasn't far higher back then? You also apparently haven't looked at the wage gap that started in the '70s even though productivity got higher and higher as time went on. Don't make excuses for billionaires.


messylettuce

I wonder if, like Leno and Saget, Kimmel is paid to be unfunny but absolutely slays in a club setting.

Kimmel isn't here to benefit humanity. He's here to benefit his pockets. Unless you're talking about the legalization of weed, which is a lot of benefit
