I think most “normal” people like to see the bold and beautiful embarrass themselves. It brings a sense of the human element to even the celebrity-type.

He mustn’t be a big fan of the Marx Brothers.

MKH handled Bill O great. I agree the only reason GEN X and Y watch this stuff is they were deprived as children from being able to see the 3 Stooges, or understand the humor of Carrol Burnett, and Pinky Lee. Being deprived is a well known torture tactics of enemy countries.

Imagine what the relations would be if Kim Young Il would share his library of slapstick and other feature length famous films with the people he dictates.

OR’s generation went to travelling carnivals to see the siamese twins, and other human mutations. It’s in all the best oldie cartoons. Besides. I was there.

Talking over people is not a generational thing it’s bad manners owned by all generations. The BOR does excellent at it…one reason my viewing of his how has bottomed out, just about thru with him. Can’t believe a few conservative billionaires can’t get together and improve on Rupert’s Fair and Balanced idea.

As much as I think highly of MKH’s work, these BoR segments where she is dragged out as the token Internet Blogspert are just painful.

She knows her stuff. She has grown up with this tech. Watching her explain it to BoR is as peepee-in-the-pool irritating as watching some kid explain the DVD controls to a senile grandpa.

Has Bill never heard of schadenfreud?

Yup, I think Dennis Miller used the word as part of a joke in segment not to long ago, and then Miller had to explain to Bill what it meant. The Miller segments with the puzzled look by Bill as each word comes flying out of Dennis’ mouth has become my favourite.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, O’Reilly is getting older, weirder and whiter everytime I watch the show. I started watching Bill since the beginning of “The Factor” and was a regular viewer, but I have been watching less and less as time goes on. He is very sanctimonious now and everything is about him. His association (fascination?) with Geraldo is a non-starter; when he has Dennis Miller on he suddenly thinks he is a comedian and won’t let the guy get his words in. Last night with MK was another example of weirdness and, to tell the truth, he wasted MK’s time.

I suspect BillO has no idea how many people, very close to his age, have clicked on a video of a robot humping a lava lamp.

Around here, the call for Humping Robots! seems to exceed even the call for More Cowbell!

Bill, Bill…

You know why, you’re just teasing MKH.

Two reasons.
1. Pure slap-stick funny. (As MKH said.)
2. Some people just want to see her underpants.

What is not funny about a runway model not seeing a big hole in the floor and walking straight into it?

I went with my gut. I’m not sorry.

And a Wise Choice it is!

Would be nice if O’Reilly would let her answer. He is a ass.

I love that growl of Mary Katherine’s near the end! That should be a ringtone.

i watched this show last night, it was hard to watch.
Bill really needs to let others finish talking for goodness sakes.

Mary Katharine endures all of BOR’s interruptions and boorishness with grace and with a smile.

She deserves her own show.

(and btw, BOR never lets ANYONE finish a sentence. He has guests on and talks over them. What is it with his generation anyway?)

Three Stooges, Bill. Ever watch it? Your generation.

Good, clean fun. Nothing wrong with it. Why do people watch The Factor? For information AND entertainment. You said it yourself on Oprah when you were defending yourself and your show to an audience member that part of your show is entertainment.

You taking a vacation again, soon? Call Michelle to liven-up your set a bit in your absence.

Sometimes I worry about the older generation.

Many times, I worry about how soon I’ll be a part of them.

Please, please sit me at the kids table through eternity.

Just how out of touch is the BoR?

Bill:

Good looking girl.

Hole.

Panties.

Ninjas.

You get that combo in a movie and you’ll make more than “Rendition”, “Lambs and Losers”, “Valley of the Eloi” and “Redacted” combined.

Counter question for Bill: why was Curly getting seltzer in his face funny?

Bill, even more baffling: why did millions of Deperession-Era folks think The Ritz Brothers were funny?

Cute Girl. Hole. Ninja. Panties.

That’s High Concept for Hollywood.

Apologies in advance;
Am I the only one that continues to have a boy-ish adolescent streak flowing right through me?
With regards to the falling model…I am not crude nor am I crass, however, I noticed that after she started pull herself up out of the hole…a little voice inside of me, a voice I thought I had grown out of screamed, I saw gutchies!!!…it’s not just me…tell me I wasn’t the only man who experienced the regressed kindergarten eagle-eye…

Dude, chill, Allah posts the weekly MKH segment, thats about it. I honestly only watch when Dennis Miller or MKH is on.

BTW, doriangrey is fine, he wrote in on the fire thread and responded to an email.
