The whole show's just her whining for 30 minutes about how horrible it is to disagree with her on anything she thinks and how men are just horrible. It was clear through the election that she even didn't like Bernie Sanders and was just in love with Hillary Clinton. What are your thoughts on her?

Does anybody else find Samantha Bee horribly annoying?

Oh, gawd, yes. Don't get me started.
We already have enough shrill, unfunny, name-calling political comics.
Did not need to import more of them from Canada.

That would work, except TBS insists on packaging her in annoying little 30 second promos
and shoving her in my face constantly whenever I watch anything else on their network.
I can't say that I've ever consciously found Samantha annoying, but I've stopped watching the show, though I still watch similar shows like The Daily Show and John Oliver.
I figured I just didn't get her brand of humor. I flip the channel when her show begins because the promos I see seemed so unfunny to me that I just don't care to give the show a shot. Nothing to do with politics, just nothing that even made me want to smile, much less laugh. She might be great but I just don't 'get' her.
Same Here I like the Daily Show even with the current host Trevor Noah, Its more of a goose chase over the actions of congress, the president and cable talk show hosts. John Oliver a former Daily Show Staff Member from the Jon Stewart era he tends to cite more investigative stories in his segments and make them funny and relatable.
I can't name a single show on TBS that I'd ever watch.
Not sure about "everyone on this thread," but anyone who is older, male, and conservative probably won't like her. Oh well. Lots of other places for them.
This thread comes from the same OP who found "Meghan Trainor annoying." That says a lot. Empowered women can be annoying to some men.
Seinfeld.
And I don't watch Samantha Bee's show. Just the nasty, in-your-face promos cause
me not to like it. Or her.
Not to mention that foreigners coming here to rag on our politics (John Oliver, anyone?)
rubs a whole lot of us the wrong way.
Seinfeld is to TV what Hotel California is to music. I don't need to see something I've seen so many times that I already know the dialogue.
I understand there's an audience for it, just as there is for 70s rock, but I'm not that audience.
Seems to me there are other channels that run old Seinfeld episodes.
De Tocqueville anyone?
In total agreement with you here. She's not even attractive.
That's the genius of Seinfeld.
There are episodes that I've probably seen 35 times.
Yet I still burst out laughing.

DeTocqueville is to John Oliver as a five-course gourmet meal is to Chicken McNuggets.
Each is appropriate to their time in history. I was simply responding to your issue with foreigners. It's not an unusual thing, and we Americans seem to have no problem commenting on the governments and policies of other countries, and sometimes even forcing our beliefs on others. For example: "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall."
True, but that does not mean that American audiences have to react well to it
(and, for the most part, they don't)
