Current Events > Fallon's oscar monologue = 11 minutes of pure liberal pandering

(+) Yeah! (+)

Wow, I didn't actually believe it was this bad, since I hadn't watched this when it aired, but wow. Can it be any worse?
Chris Rock spoke about the political stuff that was going on at the time (oscarssowhite and all that), but he was actually funny. Do you know why? He didn't pick a side. He spoke his mind. He wasn't an asspuppet for liberal america. He was impartial, and mocked both sides.
He saw the stuff that was going down and wasn't afraid to speak his own mind about the issues, he fired shots at both sides.
Now, all we have is some hollywood circlejerk of liberals pandering to feminists and that sorta bs.
Ugh. It's making me really tired of this crap. It's like they live in a damn bubble. I'm just done with this whole thing. If they have Fallon again next year, I'm not even watching. He is the worst.

For those who didn't watch, I recommend you do yourself a favor and don't click the link below.

that damn Jimmy Fallon

I started 7 seconds and I was already absolutely tired of it already.
---

Was this the one where they said "We don't make movies like Call Me By Your Name to make money... but to gross out Mike Pence"

I thought that was kind of offensive. I feel like with that line they're co-opting the artistic vision of the people who made the film

Wait, you didn't watch it, but instead sought it out afterwards? Why?

This confuses me too.

I didn't watch it for the obvious reasons. I didn't got look it up either. I certainly don't go out of my way to talk about it.

Meanwhile Addy, TC, etc...

Yes it was, and absolutely, it was a dreadful a joke, not just for being blatantly one-sided, on the political spectrum, but because it's disrespectful for the people who actually made the film.

The coverage that my country does of the awards is awful. They just show bits and pieces that they find relevant. I sought it out because I was curious of what he said.

If you didn't want to give the academy awards ratings.

I usually follow the academy awards every year.
Even if I didn't, it doesn't really matter, even if I didn't watch it, I'd still have the right to complain, what does this have to do with anything?

Yeah I retract my statement about you. Didn't realize the OP was saying you're gonna be done going forward.

My apologies.
---

Who cares.
---

Hollywood liberals really do love to talk a big game, though. I wonder what they would say if we asked them if we could move 75,000 Muslim refugees into Beverly Hills.
---

It was 2 minutes in and still nothing was said. Exactly when did you start your counter?
---

I'll take your word for it. It's no wonder their ratings have declined. LMAO

you'd applaud if he gave a speech about gun rights or some shit. quit whining.

See, this is just untrue. I actually agree that more guns on the street are bad for everyone. I live in a country where guns are scarce in the hands of civilians, and crime rates are some of the lowest in the world.
But I also know that it's a complicated issue, where you can't just give a yes or no answer. A comedian understands this and uses his position to poke fun, not choose sides. Fallon is not a comedian. He's just some celebrity. I have no idea what people find funny in him. Ellen was really good on her year. Because she's actually funny.

He should have given the tonight show back to Conan O'Brien after Leno stole it.

You sure? Most would call it exaggeration. You know, something people might use to make something they're against seem a lot more drawn out than it actually is.

It's almost like he's part of the entertainment industry.
---

Oh wow, yeah, this is Jimmy Kimmel, not Fallon.
oops.
That is pretty funny.

You mean hyperbole?

Eh, most the time I prefer to talk like a human that leaves his house....most the time.

I'm sorry, maybe we should speak on better terms.
Yes, I am exaggerating, of course, it's not all 11 minutes of it, but he does spend a great deal of his speech on these subjects, and not even making jokes on them. It's kind of dumb, imo. He is just saying everything that we've already heard these people say. He can even be right, on some things, but that's not what he came out there to do. Eh, whatever.
