Sam Bee crashes Sean Spicer’s book release parties with hilarious results

sudshr47 August 9, 2018

Sentient jar of expired mayonnaise and former Trump press secretary Sean Spicer recently put out a book that has earned Spicer even more scorn — and that’s before this clip from Full Frontal with Samantha Bee aired on Wednesday night.

America’s favorite bush hider wasn’t ready for Bee and her team, much like he was never ready for even the easiest question from the press. As Spicer tries to levy his post-White House life for fun and profit, the Full Frontal team was hell-bent on making sure it was anything but unicorns and rainbows.

The results are, predictably, hilarious — from cornering him at a Barnes & Noble appearance to showing up at a Rhode Island country club shindig, the show gave Spicer the added bit of heat he so richly deserves. Read more…

Ever since TBS aired an episode of Full Frontal in which Samantha Bee called Ivanka Trump a “feckless cunt,” celebrities and politicians have weighed in on Bee’s commentsJon Stewart, who worked with Bee for years on The Daily Show, weighed in briefly on Sunday to explain that criticism of Bee is all part of a plan.

“Please understand that a lot of what the right does, and it’s maybe their greatest genius, is they’ve created a code of conduct that they police, that they themselves don’t have to, in any way, abide,” Stewart said.

“It’s a game, it’s a strategy, and it’s working,” he added.

Samantha Bee has always been Trump’s toughest critic. She just never got the credit.

sudshr47 June 1, 2018

On Thursday, Sam Bee caught the attention of far too many people when she called the president’s daughter Ivanka a “feckless cunt.”

On Friday, she earned a tweet from our “First Amendment” president too, who called for the show’s cancellation.

Frankly, this is one of the nicer things Sam Bee has said about the Trump administration. And American culture is all the better for her willingness to go all in. Of all the late night hosts, Bee has always been the president’s most astute critic — harsher than Trevor Noah, woke-r than Jimmy Kimmel — offering him all the mercy he and his administration deserve, which is to say, none.

I’m sure you have a take on the Samantha Bee situation. There’s no chance it’s as good as Sally Field’s.

Wednesday night, Samantha Bee caused outrage for calling Ivanka Trump a “feckless cunt” after the president’s daughter shared a photo of herself hugging her child — all while ICE separates parents from their children.

Samantha Bee apologized. Sally Field did not.

“I like Samantha Bee a lot, but she is flat wrong to call Ivanka a cunt. Cunts are powerful, beautiful, nurturing and honest,” Field wrote on Twitter.

Samantha Bee tells NRA members to break free — and join Scientology

sudshr47 March 8, 2018

In the wake of the Parkland school shooting, the National Rifle Association is facing a lot of scrutiny from Americans who are tired of gun violence.

So, in a new PSA aired on Wednesday, Full Frontal host Samantha Bee offered some advice to NRA members — break free and join Scientology instead.

In one minute, Bee skewers both groups. “Is Scientology safe?” she asks. “Of course not! It’s bonkers, but it’s safer for the rest of us.”

It’s quite something. Bee continues, “Who needs a rifle to defend themselves when, as an OT VII, you could blow someone away with your brain?” Read more…

“Men, if you say you’re a feminist, then fuck like a feminist,” Samantha Bee said on Wednesday’s Full Frontal with Samantha Bee. “If you don’t want to do that, take off your fucking pin because we are not your accessories.”

Bee weighed in on the ongoing #MeToo and Time’s Up movements on her weekly late-night show, this time focusing on an emerging backlash that fears no man will escape retribution.

“What the fuck are women supposed to do to protect ourselves?” Bee asked. “If we go public with a story we’re petty crybabies hell-bent on destroying men’s careers. If we write a secret list to protect each other, we’re gossipy shrews telling lies in the shadows. What men literally can’t understand is this isn’t about them.” Read more…
