At a standup comedy show in London, Ontario, Bill Cosby told a female audience member that it may be dangerous to drink around him. When one man heckled him, he hushed him like a dad. Transgender citizens in Russia will no longer be allowed to drive. A new procedure vacuums women’s butts to enhance them. Video of the procedure. Ben thought the trend was for flat asses, showing his age.

An indoor shooting complex in Alabama promotes its family environment by posting pictures of kids with guns. Jimmy talks about despite having a gun pulled on him and being robbed, he doesn’t have the need to have a gun. Ben challenges anyone to come up with an “enthusiast” that doesn’t sound like an ass. When a woman plunged her toilet, she came up with a big snake. Bill Donohue and Megyn Kelly sparred over the reasons behind the anger the Paris terrorists harbored. Video of Kelly schooling Donohue on his example of Larry Flynt being like Charlie Hebdo in their pornographic publications.

  1. John, if I was still a single lady, I would definitely want to see your polearm. There are nerd girls out there waiting for you to talk about Game of Thrones together with them :3

  3. I love the panda bear so much. You guys are awesome. This is one of my favorite panels. Wes being on with Jimmy is better. Those two are my favorites.

  5. The second hour, also, has now shut off 6 times.. I hope I’m not going to have to miss all of last night’s shows, since the same thing has happened with the first hour. Is there any hope you can fix this on a Saturday?

  6. “Transgender citizens in Russia will no longer be allowed to drive.”

    Again, this sloppy attitude to reporting is troubling. No fact-checking, and there is even no attempt of fact-checking.

    Actual government order is only about documented psychological issues conditions related to many conditions, including trans-sexuality, not about trans-sexuality itself. You can be as transsexual as you want and drive as much as you want, but if you have developed serious mental condition along the lines (which is, sadly, is quite likely in Russia since it is poor in accepting transsexuals), then you will be banned from driving.

    So having Benjamin inferring crazy conclusions based on faulty, manipulative version of news that Western media feed their viewers, not fact-checked at all by staff (should it be Irina?), is what lowers the quality of TYT reporting.

    1. I don’t understand. Didn’t you say Russia considers trans sexuality a mental condition and the driving thing is about ppl with “mental conditions” Not sure if you are saying TYT was wrong, or if you are just adding more detail to the info

      2. Where did I write that transsexualism is “mental condition”?

        You can have it as much as you want, just do not have another psychological disorder/state/condition along with it.

  7. Porn should not be freedom of speech. Who’s talking? Free speech speaks truth to power, porn speaks lies to wankers. Porn not speech, money not speech, only speech is speech. pictures degrading women not speech.
    yeah I know, not what a lib should say, but I believe it to be true.

    Also, I know, its a tangent. Not what the last story was about. sometimes I just go on tangents.

    1. “pictures degrading women”

      Get out of here with that. Porn consists pf consenting adults that know full well what it happening and where these images/videos will be displayed. What you said is not only what no lib should say, but no rational thinking human being.

    2. Pornography is free speech, because to regulate it you would have to define what pornography is. It’s a slippery slope where almost immediately, oppressive religious definitions of what pornography is, usually dealing mostly with controlling women’s bodies and lives, becomes defined as pornography. That’s why we can’t put any limits on types of speech or we immediately lose the right to free speech.

      If you want to fight pornography, you’ll have to do it some other way that doesn’t endanger free speech rights.
