2. Medium for lower-middle-class dorks to wave stupid cardboard signs and wave like fuckwits while that fat black weatherguy ignores them politely.
3. How Satan enters the groins of children.

A television news 'magazine' consisting of about five minutes of Amerocentric 'news-ish' stories and about fifty-five minutes of commercial advertisement, blatantly or obliquely passed off as news for sister/affiliated companies and conscripted glitterati.
News anchors Matt and Meredith are given scripted content about what they may say from corporate. They are allowed to discuss anything trivial as if it were news. Actual 'news', both foreign and domestic, left NBC Today Show with the removal of Jane Pauley and Bryant Gumbel. Nobody has seen a real interview on the morning 'news magazine' since that era.
It is believed that network executives were neutered or spayed by the executive branch of the US federal government between the years of 2000 and 2008, causing network news programs like NBC's Today Show to focus more on the then popular federal prime mandate: 'Buy more stuff.' NBC's Today Show translated this into 'Buy more of our stuff'.
It remains to be seen whether NBC's Today Show will regrow a pair of gonads and actually start reporting news again.
Ann Curry is the only person believed not to have thoroughly compromised her own standards in the process.

NBC's Today Show looks more and more like the Home Shopping Network. The only difference is that most people who watch it can't afford $200 for a suit jacket, even if Meredith pretends to claim it's such a 'steal'. Most of us don't generally wear more than $100 worth of cloths at a time, if we're lucky and find NBC's Today Show tremendously out of touch.

A type of low-bar comedy. the type of comedy your grandmother would love but get irritated by. The lowest of lows and the cheesiest of them all. Every joke is the same and every episode is lame. NBC makes the same stupid comedies over and over again by putting up and coming hot comedians on their shows, put them in a boring premise and call it a comedy show. Parks and Recreation, Community, The Office, Outsourced etc etc. What do all these have in common? EVERYTHING. All featured up and coming comedians hot on the rise. Aubrey Plaza, Aziz Azari, Donald glover, Ken Jeung and more. Boring premise makes it funny. Oh Community college isn't supposed to be funny in real life. NEITHER IS MAKING FUCKIN PARKS. They stick a "curse word" in their once in a while to think its keeping its edge but don't get it twisted. Your pastor will still recommend these types of shows for the whole fuckin family to watch. What a disgrace to comedy
Friend: hey did you watch Community last night? troy wanted to move in with Abed but Abed didn't want it because he thought it ruin their friendship. So that got troy mad and he ended their friendship. But towards the end Troy realizes too much of a good thing is bad for you by eating a giant cookie and they become friends again!
Me:................ Is this a lifetime movie?
Friend: No it's a NBC comedy
Me: that doesn't exist
