Jay Leno is the Brett Favre of Late Night. He’s an unfunny predictable racist geriatric who retells the same jokes over and over and over. Unfunny jokes at that.
Conan is fresh, brazen, and very funny.
I will NOT under any circumstances ever watch Leno again after this and my plans to watch NBC in general are now at an all-time low. The only show worth watching is Heroes anyway. I will follow Coco where ever he goes.
GO TEAM COCO!
Oh, I knew there were talks about this but I was hoping it wouldn’t become true. This is a bad thing. I don’t really see how this can be an improvement for viewers unless you’re a Comcast customer. They want to turn Hulu into a pay service and charge other providers higher rates to carry NBCU channels like Syfy and USA. So not good. I just hope that when the regulators get their mitts on this deal that they lay down some stipulations regarding creating a monopoly on the NBCU channels and not screw non-Comcast customers. You should be able to read more about this later today on CNN or NBC’s own site. It was just announced on the Today show.

Am I the only person getting sick of his economy jokes EVERY SINGLE night?
It really is getting old.. old.. and OLD! To me, he’s become rather unfunny and single-minded with his jokes. Same thing every damn night — plus the overuse of the “Hooray for Hollywood” tune with it.
Crimony Jay, get some NEW MATERIAL!
Sweet. Two advertising rants in a row.
This one is about the recent Dominos “Bailout” spots. Of course they are trying to intimate that they are giving you a GREAT DEAL when infact, they’ve been selling those pizzas and sandwiches for $5 each for months.
The sandwiches aren’t worth $5 and are about 1cm thick with meat. The rest is all bun. They’re not worth anything near $5 each. The pizzas aren’t much better. They put so little toppings on them that they may as well just call it “cheesy bread” in round form.
I can think of much better food to spend $15 on that is way more filling than their offerings. Plus, to use the government financial bailout as a marketing gimmick sickens me when our economy is in it’s current state. Dominos earns my list of companies to boycott.
Why has advertising decided to go to negative cutting of people’s sensibilities? Comcast is now running ads that basically say “You’re friggen stupid!” if you don’t subscribe to their Triple Play.
I would like to point out that it’s common sense NOT to subscribe to their Triple Play. Allow me to expound upon that:
Television Service
In my service market, we had Comcast for television until November of last year. It was costing us $125 a month to have three dvr’s, and we could only get analog channels 2-65 on the other 3 TV’s in the house. We changed to DirecTV and now have two HD Dual-Tuner DVR’s (With about 60 channels in HD vs. 15 from Comcast.), a non-HD dual-tuner DVR, and three regular set-top boxes for other TV’s in the home and pay $89 a month. Plus, every single channel we get is DIGITAL (even the non-hd channels) and the picture looks outstandingly better than anything Comcast offered. I think we’re the ones with “Common Sense” on this particular matter.
Phone Service
Anything more than $19.95 a year is a rip-off. Bluntly put, if you need “home phone” service, and really, who does with the invention of the cell phone; common sense would tell you to get Magic Jack. Twenty bucks and everything included to yuck it up unlimited-like to the US and Canada all you want for a year. There’s also cheap options like Skype and a bit more pricey like Vonage, but still far superior than Comcast Voice. I have a cell phone, so I don’t even need a home phone.
Internet Service
For the Triple Play, you get an unadvertised “Economy” tier which is 2 meg down/256k up. That’s only good if you just occasionally browse the web for text. If you want to use any type of video service like Hulu, Comedy Central, Netflix streaming, etc, FORGET IT. Now, mind you, we DO have Comcast internet, but it’s the 16 meg tier because our service area was grandfathered in when they took over Insight.
So, I’m sorry Comcast, but it just isn’t “Common Sense” to subscribe to your Triple Play.
Am I the only person who finds media and print ads that tell you to “click our website!” thoroughly annoying?
Please explain to me what exactly I am going to “click” in order to get to your website if I do not have a shortcut or bookmark to your site?
One must “type” a website into their browser in order to “visit” it. The correct terminology to request persons peruse your site is to refer to it as a “visit”, as you must “type” it in for whence to go to it. If one were to follow their reasoning, one would “click” a letter to their loved ones, or “click” up a memo for their boss.
You sound completely moronic when you tell me to “click our website today!”
To loosely paraphrase Ted Stevens (R) of Alaska: “it’s like saying the internet is a series of tubes and can get clogged with… internets.. I got an internet last week… but it didn’t arrive til today..”
