I don't know, it's missing
September 14, 2007 - 08:52 ET by AvatarI don't know, it's missing something, I'd find it more entertaining if it were organized like the Onion News videos are.
I guess I just don't really care for quick stand-up routines.

Sorry...
September 14, 2007 - 10:25 ET by RosStill cant say I find it funny. The laugh track is really bad and the guy you have doing the jokes just doesnt do it for me.
Keep at it, it can only get better from this point.

I noticed last night that Newsbusted made it in the 40's of most viewed and #15 in politics.

Obtrusive
September 14, 2007 - 09:57 ET by blueridgerMaybe it is just me, but I find it extremely obtrusive to have this flash glaring at me on each and every page I cycle through studying the articles and comments. Just too old to change perhaps.
Additionally, I don't care for the reduction in the article/comment width since threads of comments become narrower and narrower as the thread depth grows. Eventually making the comment virtually unreadable. I did send a comment off to Mat Sheffield regarding my observations, but have not yet had a reply.

I have to agree... I'm
September 14, 2007 - 17:35 ET by bobthemanI have to agree... I'm not a big fan of the narrower page content.. looks way too crowded and not as comfortable to the eye when reading. It's going to take some time to get use to the new format. Is it possible to move the video to a less unobtrusive path rather than in your face kind of thing?
I agree as well. I found
September 14, 2007 - 23:05 ET by stratmanI agree as well. I found it objectionable to have to look at Jeneane Garofalo's mug while reading every article. Bleeech!
Please put a proverbial, or literal, bag over the heads of the idiots spoofed. At the very least, have a NewsBusters logo at the beginning of the videos so that when the web page loads I will see the logo instead of the idiot Liberal.
Killing them with kindness isn't working. Time to get scrappy with the Donkeys.
I just don't see anything.
September 14, 2007 - 10:36 ET by rightsideI just don't see anything. NMCI blocks everything. I'll have to watch it when I get home.
Yes! Have some.
Newsbusted has funny. Good

You think life's hard? Try comedy.
On the new layout.. does anyone find that the Comments box runs across and into the center column?
Hey Jack

September 14, 2007 - 12:43 ET by Jack BauerDee -- no missed that. What do I do?
Jack - just go on youtube
September 14, 2007 - 13:25 ET by Dee BunkJack - just go on youtube and search for Newsbusted when it comes up there is a little thing over on the side that you can click on to subscribe. You have to be logged on. You can also go into their profile and do it that way.
Matthew has some directions on how to do it from here I think, but I was too lazy to read because I'm already subscribed. I'm not sure if subscribing here counts on Youtube.
Funny and clever!

September 14, 2007 - 12:12 ET by balboaTwo funny jokes I'd say, the rest about Jay Leno level. It's a nice effort. Need to find someone better to host IMO. This guy does a decent job, but someone with a comedy background would be better.
Good comment Balboa - nice
September 14, 2007 - 12:23 ET by Dee BunkGood comment Balboa - nice and constructive and shows your not afraid of competition. I wish more liberals could be like you. - Well actually I wish they could be more like me, but if they can't be me, then you is okay ; )
I'm all for funny.

September 14, 2007 - 13:09 ET by LeonMatthew,
This place is sure looking fancy these days. For a young guy like me, it's no big deal, I'm used to see a ton of stuff on a webpage.
However, I think it might be hard for the older NB's to get used to.
NewsBusted
September 14, 2007 - 13:49 ET by Felicity RandIt's only the second episode; I'm sure you'll work out the kinks.
I particularly liked the Clinton joke.
Good luck Matthew with this ambitious project.

Just a joke. I thought it was funnier.

September 14, 2007 - 16:52 ET by MightyMouthhaha Chris,
Comes from a company I used to work for. Our moto with regard to the competition was: "We suck less". Of course that was an inside joke, never made it into our line card. :-)

I knew this line would be the end result - I just didn't know who would get there first - or could word it so delicately. Good job!:)

September 14, 2007 - 21:18 ET by MikeBSooo...the hookers at the Mustang Ranch were civil servants when the IRS seized the place for back taxes? I'll bet that was the first time that the taxpayer appreciated a screwing by a government agent.

I should never have submitted a joke this week. Regrets aplenty.

Where's the biting humor of a Mort Sahl or the wit of a Mark Russell? Sorry I couldn't use examples of conservative comics, but my addled brain can't think of any.
And, btw, I miss Gaggle being locked to the top of the home page. It almost seems as if part of the masthead is missing.

I liked this one
September 14, 2007 - 16:51 ET by SportPoliticsmuch better than the last, and it hit well on the known problems of the opposition.
My only critique is Mark Ellis moves around kind of strangely, he doesn't need to be gyrating like that, or someone needs to show him some other way of moving around if that's "natural" for him.
Other than that the jokes were hitting home, and although I wasn't laughing aloud there weren't any lamers.
I agree- cut the canned
September 14, 2007 - 17:02 ET by RobElz7I agree- cut the canned laughter. Makes it sound juvenile.
Keep working on it- it's a good start.
