1/2 Hour News Hour: Not Even Half Funny

Half Hour, no laughsI originally blogged about rumours of a FOX News supported “comedy” satire back here and have been remiss in reporting on it after it lauched.

Well guess what?

The show blows.

Hard.

It blows so hard, I can’t even make it through the “highlight” clips where the only laughter comes out of a can. You can find samples here and other places.

Here’s Keith Olberman’s video response.

Metacritic gives the show a score of 12/100 and users 2.8/10. (Metacritic coverage is here.)

Is anyone surprised? The thing that I love about comedy is that the root of all humour is truth. No truth, no yuks. No mystery why there’s not much funny to be found over at FOX News.
