It's not marked on my calendar, but this must be Wet Hot American Summer week. First there was that AV Club re-review, then it was Michael Showalter's birthday, and then last night, there was this Daily Show segment about the Midwest floods called Wet Hot American Bummer.



If this WHAS-centricity keeps up, by the end of today, I expect to receive sage advice from a talking can of vegetables. Though, that's just a typical Thursday for me.

Last night also featured the return of Steve Carell to the show. That clip is after the jump.

Even months later this is still funny. Wyatt Cenac is a great addition to the on-screen talent. Hopefully we'll see lots more of him. Oh, and about all that ranting by the other posters? Get off it, this is Comedy Central.

John Thomas, you're definitely invited to visit angrywhitedude dot com. I like the way you think! Thanks for pointing out the differences.

Hilarious. I can't believe he's still on the air. I wonder if people are clapping because they agree "George Bush doesn't care about wet people" or if they are laughing at the satire part of it.

Just a personal observation . . . as I watched the news coverage of the massive flooding in the Midwest with over 100 blocks of the city of Cedar Rapids, Iowa under water, levees breaking, and the attention now turned downstream for when this massive amount of water hits the Mississippi, what amazed me is not what we saw,butwhat we didn't see . . .

1 . We don't see looting .

2 . We don't see street violence .

3 . We don't see people sitting on their rooftops waiting for the government to come and save them .

4 . We don't see people waiting on the government to do anything .

5 . We don't see Hollywood organizing benefits to raise money for people to rebuild .

6 . We don't see people blaming President Bush .

7 . We don't see people ignoring evacuation orders .

8 . We don't see people blaming a government conspiracy to blow up the levees as the reason some have not held .

9 . We don't see the US Senators or the Governor of Iowa crying on TV .

10 . We don't see the Mayors of any of these cities complaining about the lack of state or federal response .

11 . We don't see or hear reports of the police going around confiscating personal firearms so only the criminal will be armed .

12 . We don't see gangs of people going around and randomly shooting at the rescue workers .

13 . You don't see some leaders in this country blaming the bad behavior of the Iowa flood victims on "society" (of course there is no wide spread reports of lawlessness to require excuses) .

Re: Iowa vs . Louisiana :

Where are all of the Hollywood celebrities holding telethons asking for

help in restoring Iowa and helping the folks affected by the floods?

Where is all the media asking the tough questions about why the federal

government hasn't solved the problem? Asking where the FEMA trucks (and

trailers) are?

Why isn't the Federal Government relocating Iowa people to free hotels

in Chicago ?

When will Spike Lee say that the Federal Government blew up the levees

that failed in Des Moines ?

Where are Sean Penn and the Dixie Chicks?

Where are all the looters stealing high-end tennis shoes and big screen

television sets?

When will we hear Governor Chet Culver say that he wants to rebuild a

"vanilla" Iowa , because that's the way God wants it?

Where is the hysterical 24/7 media coverage complete with reports of

cannibalism?

Where are the people declaring that George Bush hates white, rural

people?

How come in 2 weeks, you will never hear about the Iowa flooding ever

again?

Barack Obama is White Trash and don't care about Black people.

The Daily Show tends to hit right where it counts the most, politically and humoristically.
