Stewart vs Colbert vs Maher (Paul McCartney, show, quote, song)

The book was funny, and Colbert is funny. But it's schtik. It's a routine that gets older and older. Stewart has been fresh and hilarious for years.

Even if he's playing a character, he's still the funniest IMO.

Stewart is hilarious, but I actually think The Daily Show has more misses than The Colbert Report, sometimes they have a special corespondent and it's a complete misfire.

Plus Stewarts silly expressions and mannerisms come off as a bit too forced at times. They're both still comic geniuses but personally I give Colbert the edge.

Colbert without a doubt, his speach at the republican national convention is one of the best pieces of youtube history.

I'm a fan of all but my ranking is as follows:
Maher
Stewart
Colbert.

Yeah. It's especially funny because no one was laughing, and Bush looked so pissed.

And of course all the pundits got mad at him, talked about how distasteful he was while praising the little comedy skit Bush did where he basically mocked the mistakes he made that caused the senseless deaths of thousands of people. Now everybody laughed at that.

So, they're all funny and have legit views, but I can't say I agree with all of it. I gotta admit I wasn't a big fan of Maher until Religulous came out. The man has some points to make. I think out of the three, I gotta respect Stewart more just because Colbert gets under my skin sometimes.

Stewart is the funniest but Maher hates religion and religious idiots the most so my vote goes to Maher for saying what really needs to be said, 'Christianity is stupid!'
