Just as the cherry on the shit sundae, “Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me” is a fucking crime against humanity. Setting aside the political slant, the disconnect between how desperately unfunny and ham-handed the attempts at humor are and how fucking brilliantly clever and witty the participants and fans think it is makes me want to put my fist through a wall.
My wife’s friends once tried to get her to go to a live taping of it. I told her I’d rather get a blood transfusion from Charlie Sheen than sit through that.
I always felt like it was mildly entertaining. Kinda like a group of friends having a bit of a laugh. The idea that they were ever properly funny was just silly to me, even at the time.
