JERRY SEINFELD: COMEDY REPRESSION THERAPIST
JERRY SEINFELD: COMEDY REPRESSION THERAPIST
http://www.hulu.com/watch/
With an easy target for mocking like Marcus Bachmann, Michelle Bachmann's gay repression therapist of America who acts and sounds like he's repressing a little gay of his own, Jon Stewart admits he has a problem with temptation. The temptation to make cheap jokes about Marcus Bachmann. Jokes like, "he's so gay he calls Top Gun 'that volleyball movie," which, though hilarious and satisfying, are below a satirist such as himself... kind of.
To help with this debilitating problem, little known creator of The Marriage Ref, Jerry Seinfeld, is called to help with his skills in comedy repression. He coaches Jon through digging deeper into a joke than just getting laughs from the funny tone of one's voice (a great self-deprecating jab), and what not to do, like say things like, "he's so gay Richard Simmons tells him to tone it down." If only Marcus Bachmann was telling gay men what not to do by doing that thing himself. That wouldn't be as funny as it would be completely expected to be revealed in the near future.
And in between these examples of "cheap jokes," Seinfeld slaps Jon Stewart a few times. Because as everyone knows, slapping is without question the oldest and best form of comedy.
