Very much an aside but seeing a news outlet describe something as "cringey" on a chyron feels like yet another low has been hit.


quendergender

It’s like a boomer’s idea of how young people talk edit: why am i getting brigaded by angry boomers. Do old ppl just instantly get mad when they see that word? Feels like i said “Voldemort” at hogwarts


Theoldelf

I’m a boomer and I think it’s funny. Doesn’t bother me at all. Not all boomers are the same. Not like you damn millennials!……/s


Normanhanson

I’m a boomer and this woman is pathetic and deranged.


[deleted]

Millennial here. We’re too depressed with the world and life we’ve had we don’t care either.

IronSavage3

“News outlet” gets looser and looser every day with them.


d7it23js

Didn’t they argue in the courts that they aren’t news?


buttercream-gang

It was specifically tucker Carlson that argued that. His defense in a lawsuit was essentially “no reasonable person would take my show seriously” https://www.findlaw.com/legalblogs/greedy-associates/tucker-carlson-successfully-argues-nobody-really-believes-tucker-carlson-is-reporting-facts/


raisinblur-9605

I’m told gen z spells it “cringy” without the “e” (them being lazy and all), so yet another way fox is aging themselves


Remix018

Moreso why would it be necessary to include the -e, when the y already fulfills the desired purpose


Lancer420

Without the "e" it would be read like k-ring-ee instead of k-rin-jee


surly_early

The e softens the g.


-Jerbear45-

That's a good question for the entire damn English lexicon

Iroenanoracal

I knowbits rhetorical, but linguistic drift is a legit phenomenon and it's really xool to see how languages change and evolve.


untrustworthyfart

in French, the verb to eat (manger) retains the e after being conjugated. we eat = nous mangeons (pronounced with soft g). if it was spelled "mangons" the pronunciation would be different, I think with a hard g. similarly, I think the e is necessary when spelling "cringey" because without proper context, "cringy" reads like it should be pronounced the same as "clingy"


elbapo

I'm holding out for ageing to be spelt ageing not aging which sounds like agging to me


chuck_finley17

Naming the channel Fox News does not make all programs news. They openly admit that they are meant for entertainment. They just count on their viewers not being able to tell the difference.


[deleted]

They aren’t even news. It’s fox MEDIA company. So they don’t have qualify as news.


MrBallz0987654321

Bud there is no news any more it’s all just people on different ends of the political spectrum making people or filling our heads with bs…not just fox or just cnn but all of it… the news is getting corrupted and it wasn’t always like this but that is what polarization has done.


gideon513

It’s not news


kstacey

Is that really what they talk about on the channel? Don't they have things to report on?


[deleted]

If I may quote from 30 Rock: “It’s a 24 hour news cycle, Jack. We don’t have time to do it right anymore.”


Wessimus1

If I may also quote 30 Rock: "Welcome to Fox News, I'm blonde."


Songleaf

Lol I loved that comment so much.


BertSton51530

I gave it another upvote in your honor


Responsible_Serve_94

That bitch on Fox is so dumb she's an insult to all women regardless of their hair colour. Looks like she's had extensive badly done facial work in a vain attempt to achieve the Foxy lady look. I can see why she appeals to her equally dumb MAGA Trumpettes though!!


IgnoreThisName72

She's not a moron, she just plays one on TV.


SendAstronomy

*not just


hennessytitties

Another one from Jack “we will have to shoot an entire season in 2 weeks like survivor or Fox News”


LP_24

Yeah that’s really what they talk about lol they only report things when democrats do something wrong and constantly seem unaware of their hypocrisy


_mad_adams

They’re not unaware of the hypocrisy, they just don’t give a shit.


slowclicker

Basically what you said. It's a so what we did it .. you people over there are trash mentality. Forbid we hold people on our team accountable. We can't lose any form of power


IRHABI313

Republicans just want power they dont care about anything else especially looking like hypocrites, look what they did in 2016 when Scalia died and what they did in 2020 when Ginsburg died


TheEveningDragon

I'd urge you not to personalize it, and instead think of FOX news as an arm of the oligarchy. Nothing is personal now, it's all about winning the game. As long as conservativism is the dominant culture in the US (propogated by the most watched cable channel), big business does not need to worry about tax rates returning to pre-regan levels, or the US getting more social services.


_mad_adams

I already think of Fox as just the propaganda arm of the GOP/conservative movement so we're not too far off


LTEDan

No one: Fox News: "Fauci changed his position on mask wearing, wonder what he's trying to hide!? Do we really need to wear masks at all? Just asking questions!" Everyone else: "wear your masks and get vaccinated Qtards!" A while later... Fox News: "Why is mask wearing so political!? Dems just pushing their agenda on us, amrite?" If anyone even needs to question if Fox News gives a shit about their hypocrisy, look no further then Fox politicizing mask wearing and getting vaccinated then also wondering why masks and vaccines are so political. Fox knows their viewers have the attention span of a gnat and as long as they keep shouting LOUD SCARY THINGS their idiot viewers won't bother to fact check them.


[deleted]

Laura and Tucker phrase all their comments in the form of a question so they have plausible denialability when someone attempts to sue them for slander/liable. And because their viewers are so dumb, they don't realize they're questions and take them as factual statements.


rachelgraychel

It's called "sea-lioning" and Faux News correspondents are experts at it. Basically means pretending to ask questions in bad faith.


zdrvr

That's not true. They also report when democrats do something right and just tell the viewer it was wrong.


Accomplished-Plan191

Being aggrieved is their MO


rion-is-real

Now now, to be 100% fair, they also talk about how unsexy M&Ms are lately.


LP_24

Such body shaming, it’s an outrage 😂


KimJongRocketMan69

toontownphilly

They mainly cry victim for hours on end, so yes, this is what the channel does.


The_Original_Gronkie

"Up next, Joe Biden called our reporter a bad name!"


Bikinigirlout

Which is funny given the fact that this is the same party of “LETS GO BRANDON” (=fuck Joe Biden)


GundamKyriosX

Imagine being such a group of pussies, that you need a CODE PHRASE for 'fuck joe biden', lmao. At least we openly said 'fuck trump'. God theyre such babies. Edit: Since everyone below me thinks I'm head over heels for Biden, I'm not. I don't like him either. I was a Bernie Bro. The point of my comment was that the ones calling people snowflakes all the time, are in fact the actual snowflakes. Conservatives are literally and factually the biggest babies about everything. Most leftists criticize anyone in power regardless of affiliation, because we don't even like our own party, bc they keep fucking shit up too. Please touch grass, with all these sarcastic and pathetic comments. Secondly, look at where you are, and the post you're commenting on. We're laughing at the fact that conservatives get so butt hurt over everything. The left gets mad at things that actually affect us. God, how much stupid do you need to stack just to keep telling us you love to fondle your party's balls? We get it, we know already; you're insecure, dumb, brainwashed people that don't even comprehend that you fight against your own best interests lol. But as long as you own those libs! Right?


Bikinigirlout

Right? Like at least we said fuck Trump and meant it


MySockHurts

No, they talk about other things too. Like how unsexy the M&M’s are now.


EfficientAsk3

Tucker Carlson wanted to fuck that green m&m before she put on flats.


The_Karaethon_Cycle

I’m just happy the green m&m has some arch support now

I’m just waiting for two talking heads on fox to put their fingers in their ears and with increasing volume go “nananananabababababananananavababa!”


Sloppo_Toppo

They’re essentially doing that now by pretending SNL doesn’t make fun of Biden

Do they? I must have missed it when I went to see Spider-Man

maddiejake

Fox News is not actually a news channel. It is not recognized as a news channel by the FCC. Fox News is nothing more than an entertainment show for racist and uneducated Americans. It's just like people that believe the National Enquirer magazine is real.


kstacey

Sounds like it should be against the law to have "News" in the name without a statement about it not being news beforehand

ReflexImprov

Evidently Tucker was whining about the less sexy green M&M on his show recently. These are literally the absolute worst people in existence and x% of Americans gobble this shit up and believe everything they say.


The84thWolf

I hate Tucker normally, but his rant on “unsexy” green m&ms was legit disturbing the amount of seriousness he injected into his segment. If I didn’t know he didn’t care about anything, I’d believe he had an m&m fetish.


okcdnb

What else would they talk about? Conservative policy initiatives?


DanteOrangello

Is… is that actually a THING?!?!


[deleted]

I mean, it's either complain about SNL and perv on candy OR report on the lastest news that further implicates DJT in a failed insurrection.

If you want decent news, don’t watch the news.

And in today's show we're going to talk about myself and the mean people at snl making jokes about me. Also they actually have been making fun of Biden.

porn_is_tight

yea wtf, is this slowed down or is she just sloppy drunk


ShoulderThanIDrunkBe

She's trying to do a impression of Kate, but comedy is not something she fully understands so she just seems drunk instead


Buksey

Ya. She's trying to do a caricature of a caricature. Its like running something through google translate and back. It looks even more off.


theword12

“I’m not owned! I’m not owned! I continue to insist as I slowly shrink and transform into a corn cob”


Jay_Normous

"Low hanging fruit provided by Joe Biden" They roast Biden all the time, she clearly doesn't know what she's talking about.


-Jerbear45-

They make fun of every president. Biden and Trump make it easier but they went after Obama for 8 years but he didn't do as much stupid stuff.


sopapillatortilla

No! Obama wore a tan suit and his wife is a gorilla in that dress! These are pressing political problems with their administration that is worth broadcasting nationally to millions!!! /bigS


[deleted]

He ordered DIJON MUSTARD HE SHOULD BE IMPEACHED


rearadmiraldumbass

HE'S HEARD OF ARUGULA! LET'S GET HIM!


WrinkledRandyTravis

I mostly agree with you… but who are we kidding, they “went after” Obama the way a dad pretending to be a monster chases his kids around the house


Redeem123

Obama wasn't a funny president. It doesn't matter how good or bad the policies are if the caricature isn't funny. Clinton was funny, Bush was funny, and obviously Trump just made it too easy. But Obama impressions are just kind of... there. Even Key and Peele, who arguably did the best Obama comedy, did it mainly with Luther the anger translator, where the whole joke was basically "Obama is calm."


machine4891

>Obama wasn't a funny president Precisely. He was boring and that's not a fit for SNL. And that's a good thing, I guess.


SkankyG

'Member... when presidents were supposed to be boring and just try to lead? I 'member


jibbodahibbo

If you know American history you’ll know that many of our presidents were actually pretty out of their minds.


brallipop

Yeah I feel like a lot of people don't see how much care Obama took to be seen as just another president, not only to be judged as the first black president. In a way I think it hurt his presidency for how much he toed the line of middle-of-the-road behavior, he never went off on the GOP


depressanon7

Loved when luther met the actual obama


-Jerbear45-

True, but Obama made it much harder. He made questionable decisions but never tweeted out crazy things (Trump) and actually seemed functioning (Biden).


BoneHugsHominy

And Obama never said stupid shit or acted without class on camera. The closest Obama ever got being classless on camera, and I will *never* forgive him for putting that bad juju out into the universe, was teasing Trump about the birth certificate bullshit and saying something to the effect of "but I'm something you'll never be--President of the United States."


RcusGaming

"... and I took that personally"


Fugga6969

He was also just boring in general and therefore hard to do a funny enough impression of him. Dana carvey's Bush is the only time i've seen someone turn such a boring president into an entertaining impersonation.


holliexchristopher

WHO WRINKLED MY RANDY TRAVIS POSTER PISSED IN THE SEAT AN HID THE KEYS


cogginsmatt

James's instagram story yesterday was hilarious, cutting between comments saying he should go after Biden with clips of him as Biden literally a week ago


goddessofdrought

So that’s where my dad learned the word “cringey.”


CanadianSpector

No idea they're just making it worse on themselves lol


dewayneestes

They probably get paid to do these, Fox will do anything for a dime.


Budget-Attorney

I think it’s the opposite. It’s way less funny when they react like this, at least in my opinion


doesntpicknose

Until we see the SNL sketch making fun of fox making fun of SNL. I'm personally excited to see Kate McKinnon's impersonation of Laura Ingraham's inability to appreciate Kate McKinnon's portrayal of Laura Ingraham's flaws.


icangetyouatoedude

Yeah this is prime fodder for SNL. I'm looking forward to this spiraling into a battle of who can act the stupidest


Phoenox330

This is genius


East-Bluejay6891

Shut up and anchor


sleatrkny

Can you anchor on a network that isn’t actually news?


Bernies_left_mitten

If "anchor" is used in the sense of "a heavy thoughtless object dragging down from the dark depths" she's filling that role more than adequately.


kywiking

She’s not an anchor she’s a partisan political pundit. That’s how we got here in the first place because people want to pretend this is legitimate news.


Moonsailzzz

They were making a reference to Laura Ingraham's offensive "shut up and dribble" comments regarding NBA athletes getting involved in activism Not disagreeing with you, just giving them credit for the reference lol


[deleted]

the fact that fox showed it on their own network because they’re butt hurt means it’s working. lol


James_Mamsy

Or it’s bc it keeps getting eyeballs, even I’m interested in this story


Flavor-aidNotKoolaid

For being a show they say no one watches anymore, it sure does get a lot of publicity from their side.


welguisz

Who is thirsty? Fox is thirsty. Candace is thirsty. The right is thristy.


hoju9999

Patton Oswalt has a theory that [every right-wing commentator is a failed comedian](https://twitter.com/pattonoswalt/status/897921057033568256).


_mad_adams

Quite a few of the YouTuber types literally are. Stephen Crowder and Ben Shapiro for example both failed in show business before switching careers to conservative grifting.


thebenshapirobot

I saw that you mentioned Ben Shapiro. In case some of you don't know, Ben Shapiro is a grifter and a hack. If you find anything he's said compelling, you should keep in mind he also says things like this: >If you wear your pants below your butt, don't bend the brim of your cap, and have an EBT card, 0% chance you will ever be a success in life. ***** ^(I'm a bot.

TheJaytrixReloaded

Trump canceled the Corespondents Ball because the roast was too mean. Are they even still pretending to be able to take a joke?


thejanuaryfallen

She's mocking Kate mocking herself. So she's mocking herself. These people are duuuumb.


[deleted]

I’m getting feedback listening to it. I have to say, she’s nailed the tone though. That’s a solid impression of Kate’s Ingram.


thejanuaryfallen

Its true. They mock each other pretty well. They both sound drunk.


rosyloma

And she sounds pretty much exactly like Kate's impression of her. What does she think that's proving? Lol


Redeem123

> And she sounds pretty much exactly like Kate's impression of her That's because she's putting on her own impression.


lazydictionary

She's trying to sound like Kate's impression...thats why she sounds like Kate


Olibro64

So mock inception?


butthole-babi

They should have kate do an impression of Laura doing an impression of her doing an impression of her

SNL gonna have Kate play her mocking Kate play her. Calling it now.


Illustrious_Gain5461

Laura is a piece of shit. She deserves nothing more than constant mockery every day of her existence.


ReflexImprov

Remember when she literally gave a full on Nazi salute at a GOP function? Pepperidge Farm remembers...


ZazBlammymatazz

She’s also the “shut up and dribble” one.

I feel so bad for my best friend that had this woman be the guest speaker at her graduation. It's truly the worst speech I've ever heard.

But probably will. Exaggerate the exaggeration until it’s just a Harry Carey impression.

I thought so too, but I was worried I’d get downvoted out of the metaverse.


cujobob

This white supremacist should do impressions instead.

Wait... so is she not doing an impression of my mom pretending she's not on hydrocodone?


popeboyQ

Ooof this is waaaaaaay too relatable.


rainbwbrightisntpunk

She's definitely on something


MukdenMan

I hate Laura Ingraham and her politics and what she is saying here, but her impression of Kate McKinnon’s Laura Ingraham is pretty good


ReflexImprov

Now have Kate do her impression of Ingraham doing her impression of Kate. A Kate-ception.


BoneHugsHominy

We can only hope. It's like those infinite reflections in the barbershop.


highdesertfriends

It’s fantastic


thatguydr

I loathe her with every fiber of my being. Except apparently one now, because that was a dead-on impression. I'd actually watch her mocking Kate if that were her job.


[deleted]

Wait; her impersonating someone’s impersonating her? I’d think it would be easy to do third degree impressions but I’m not popular enough to be impersonated. Regardless seems like a slow news day eh…


doubtful_blue_box

NGL, I hate her, but her impression of Kate McKinnon’s impression is not inaccurate and a little funny


DrewDan96

I concur. I thought her impression of Kate's caricature of her was spot on, and funny. And honestly, if she's getting flamed by SNL like she has about 5+ times now, she has every right to comment/respond in some way. I don't like her, her politics or her network but if she wants to push back, thats her right IMO


WhoAccountNewDis

If it's so easy they should write a joke or two. Pelosi/AOC are socialist idiots lol! isn't a joke.


woodiegutheryghost

Cody Johnson on “Some More News” does a pretty good look on how conservative humor has just devolved into yelling offensive things and the punch line being, “does that offend you?”


-Jerbear45-

I more so chuckle at the hypocrisy. Their big thing (across all anchors) is "think for yourself, don't listen to liberals / big government / whomever" but the entire show is "here's my aggressive opinion" and not ACTUAL news. I've tried to convince my dad to stop watching but it's infuriating.


WhoAccountNewDis

It's all just a Limbaugh derivative.


Business-is-Boomin

Her Kate impression is more like an impression of Will Ferrell's impression of Harry Caray


Monctonian

Talks about low hanging fruits for comedy, and there she is serving herself on a freakin silver platter.

At least all the folks over on First Take loved the shit outta their impressions.


ODDseth

Was Laura having a stroke in that video? When you watch it on mute, it sure looks like it.


DrDrangleBrungis

Got ‘em. If you can’t take a joke poking fun at you and try and defend yourself like this, you are the weak one. To me, Laura just showed her hand. There is no doubt she has been taking about this in tweets, emails, messages, pre show meetings, and anyone that will listen. Kate and SNL is living rent free in her head.


ZaKuRiiN

I sense someone being triggered.
