The Daily Show Riffs on GTA IV

May 1, 2008 -
Okay, so it wasn't the funniest bit we've ever seen on The Daily Show.

But host Jon Stewart and "Senior Virtual Correspondent" Aasif Madvi take a look at GTA IV in this video.

Wow. That just wasn't funny at all.

The best bit was the comparison of Scalia's torture statement to GTA IV's violence. I totally understand how Aasif mistook him for an NPC in the game.

@ CyberSkull

Agreed - that was the *real* funny GTA IV bit.

It wasn't hilarious, but that probably was because they weren't making fun of the kid that got busted for trying to steal GTA4. That, and its hard to make fun of folks standing in line, under umbrellas.

He made a HUGE point though, that we can use against anyone who calls us braindead morons:

Did you notice that he brought up the fact that none of those people in line were trying to kill each other? That's HUGE, and it's proof that gamers can be civilized

@MaskedPixelante
Agreed :-)

But wait! I suppose they could say that's not proof! It came from the daily show, he must have doctored the video. And then they will pay some guy to say he was mugged outside of Gamestop because they are criminal havens.

The Scalia tie-in was the best, the rest was just 'meh'.

But yeah, the abject shock that the people in line weren't killing each other, unlike the brides. Priceless.

I liked the later bit where Aasif Madvi was behind the wheel better.

Did anyone else notice on the driving scene that the game was going backwards? You can see the plane in the background flying backwards, lol. I guess they taped it going one way and played it backwards to make it look like he was driving the right way.

I liked the earlier one about San Andreas better.

Michael Chandra: Correct AE, but then again the owner's own words are about "wishes", not about an order. No "we told him not to", but going against his wishes.10/20/2014 - 2:16pm

Andrew Eisen: Michael Chandra - Unless I overlooked it, we haven't seen how the directive to not talk about whatever he wasn't supposed to talk about was phrased so it’s hard to say if it could have been misconstrued as a suggestion or not.10/20/2014 - 12:35pm
Andrew Eisen: Hey, the second to last link is the relevant one! He actually did say "let them suffer." Although, he didn't say it to the other person he was bickering with.10/20/2014 - 12:29pm

Andrew Eisen: Neo_DrKefka - "Attacking"? Interesting choice of words. Also interesting that you quoted something that wasn't actually said. Leaving out a relevant link, are you?10/20/2014 - 11:04am
quiknkold: ugh. I want to know why the hell Mozerella Sticks are 4 dollars at my works cafeteria...are they cooked in Truffle Oil?10/20/2014 - 10:41am
Neo_DrKefka: Anti-Gamergate supporter Robert Caruso attacks female GamerGate supporter by also attacking another cause she support which is the situation happening in Syia “LET SYRIANS SUFFER” https://archive.today/F14zZ https://archive.today/Wpz8S10/20/2014 - 10:18am
Neo_DrKefka: That is correct in an At-Will state you or the employer can part ways at any time. However Florida also has laws on the books about "Wrongful combinations against workers" http://www.flsenate.gov/Laws/Statutes/2012/448.04510/20/2014 - 10:07am

Michael Chandra: 'How dare he ignore my wishes and my advice! I am his boss! I could have ordered him but I should be able to say it's advice rather than ordering him directly!'10/20/2014 - 8:52am
Michael Chandra: If GP goes "EZK, do not talk about X publicly for a week, we're preparing a big article on it" and he still tweets about X, they'd have a legitimate reason to be pissed.10/20/2014 - 8:52am
Michael Chandra: If GP tells Andrew "we'd kinda prefer it if you stopped talking about Wii-U for 1 week" and he'd tweet about it anyway, firing him for it would be idiotic.10/20/2014 - 8:51am
Michael Chandra: Legal right, sure. But that doesn't make it any less pathetic of an excuse.10/20/2014 - 8:50am
