Jon Stewart Promo for Upcoming Apple TV+ Show Makes Fun of Billionaire Space Race

wigby said:
This trailer is lame but the pint of it isn't the how, it's the why. It's clear that these billionaires are driven by their ego (penis) and since there's no ego equivalent on Earth and they are all billionaires already, they can only go to space to prove they are the best. Humanity would choose a yacht-residing billionaire that shows true philanthropy over a rich, space cowboy any day but since this is just about ego, clicks and eyeballs, we get stuck with this for now.

This is bread and circus. ******** fake outrage and manufactured rivalry to distract you from what’s happening all around you.

There is no doubt that Musk is an ego driven jerk but at least what he is doing with SpaceX is real and not just playtime for millionaires.

All billionaires are ego driven jerks. That doesn't mean they can't be useful to society.

I read a tweet from famous journalist about Bezos and a homeless and replies to that tweet just show how our society is deteriorating. A majority of tweets believe if there is a swap between these 2 guys a homeless would be a billionaire and Bezos would be homeless. In essence, a billionaire and homeless are not different. All every homeless needs to be billionaire is an opportunity.
Such a naive worldview. No wonder our world is turning into sh_t.
 
I don't know what's wrong with me but I didn't laugh once during the entire trailer. Now sketches from Kyle Dunnigan and Tim Dillon on the other hand send me howling.

What’s funny about billionaires pushing us into space? The one who is successful will change our future forever. Millionaires, like Stewart, are upset billionaires don’t just sit around and play on their yachts like they parody they do?

Well Bezos does have his billion dollar yacht that requires a smaller yacht to get to shore.

This looks incredibly stupid. If that trailer is any indication, 3rd grade humor and zero cleverness.

you realize that's the point? making fun of these douchecanoe's stepping on people to show how much bigger their dicks are? You must've hated the Austin Powers movies too

They’re not really pushing us into space. At least Musk is trying to lower the cost of rockets to get us to Mars. They are collaborating with NASA. The other two are selling short trips to low earth orbit. Fun, but they aren’t conducting cutting edge science or anything. Maybe if more rich people take a trip there will be more interest in exploring the cosmos overall, so could have some benefit.

The austin powers movies had some clever humor, imo. I liked the first one especially. This - just looks juvenile

I don't think he "hates". It's just his job to make fun of everything.

He hasn't been funny for years, so maybe it's time he finds another line of "work."

Besides, I thought he retired so it's not his job to do anything, except waste away in Margaritaville.
