OMG this makes me so happy!! i loooove her on flight of the conchords she is so funny and this makes me love her even more! this made my day!

I had those underoos when I was 5! The top was more of a tank top, but the underwear was the same!

I remember being very sad the day that I outgrew them.

Women have poison? No fair.

LOL!

I had the Wonder Woman set when I was a kid, too! :D

BUT---women aren't funny!!!! That's a man's job!!

This video is awesome. I posted it a little while ago in my blog. She is so funny, I hope she keeps appearing on the show (another female comedian-yay!)

'Freedom drops'. Hee. Love it.

I don't understand what is funny about forcing her to strip at the end. I understand she began stripping to make a point... but then she was ready to stop, and John wouldn't let her. I think in that moment, it crossed over from being potentially funny with a good point to something that wasn't funny at all.

Rose, I thought that bit at the end was weird as well.

I thought for the most part funny, but also strange that before the commentary Jon also managed to call Hilary supporters fat.

Maybe if they could the average molecular density of voters? Sigh, I thought the clip was mostly funny, but Jon Stewert is definately a sexist.

I really started to notice his and Colbert's true colors ever since Hilary's bid to run for president.

This is why I do not watch them anymore.

The Indigo Girls song was a nice touch.

Rose: I understand she began stripping to make a point... but then she was ready to stop, and John wouldn't let her.

He wouldn't let her back down from what she had committed herself to do simply because she underestimated what that would actually entail. Seems fair to me.

smartorange: Maybe if they could the average molecular density of voters?

Molecular density is the number of molecules per unit volume, and I have no idea how that correlates with weight and body-fat percentage in humans. It's such an useless and arbitrary physical property that if it is higher in fat people, it is surely a coincidence. I took it as a dig at the arbitrarinesses of some of what Hillary has said, such as how some states don't really matter for the general election, when those same states happened to have been the ones she'd lost.

Rose, the whole show is scripted.

She wasn't forced to do anything.

John Stewart generally doesn't write his own jokes, and it's probably safe to say that he didn't write this routine.

In fact, it was likely Kristin herself who wrote it, so if you're going to take issue with anyone it likely should be her.

That said, the moment where she's "forced" to strip struck me as a sour note, but I chalk that up to bad writing (redeemed when it's revealed she's just embarassed by her costume) rather than sexism.

ellestar, my grown-up-sized Wonder Woman cami and panty set came from Webundies.com. Not quite Underoos, but they rock.

And when I put them on and do a Lynda Carter spin, I am one happy fortysomething. (-:

@Rose: To be fair, I didn't think that "average molecular density" was a crack about weight at all (could you even use that measurement to determine weight? I don't know*). It just seemed like a deliberately bizarre criterion to emphasise the unlikely nature of her nomination.

Still, Kristen Schaal is just wonderful to watch. I'm so happy that I actually got to see her show a little while ago.

*I started to write this before I noticed Alice's comment. Thanks for clearing that up.

Rose, I think the point was that she was already so GROSSLY offended that she decided to make that stunt. But then it was like "Wait... there's MORE! Holy crap! It's worse than I even imagined!"

Anyway, I loved it.

I agree the stripping part struck a bad chord, but I suppose it was just to get to the end riff on the wonderwoman underoos. Either way I'm all for giving air time to the bs misogyny hillary endured and the clips did make those people look like the arses they were for having made the remarks they did.

I'm not certain about this, but I think that fat is less dense than a lot of other tissues, or at least less dense than muscle, so people with high percentages of fat are probably less dense than people with low percentages of fat.

For what it's worth.

But yeah, I don't think it's a fat jab either.

I love this clip. I thought the whole thing was funny. The ending didn't bother me at all.

Regarding the "average molecular density" thing, I could see where it could correlate with body mass index to a degree, but a higher molecular density would actually mean a more muscular person, not somebody with more body fat, so I don't think he was calling anybody fat by saying that.

Is it possible to make underoos standard issue for women everywhere? Let's look into that.

The end part was a little weird, but I got how it was supposed to show how it was even worse than she imagined. I love Kristin Schaal on "The Daily Show"... Feminism IS funny, if only because its foes are SO ridiculous!

does anyone have a different link for this? i can't get past about 20 seconds without it starting over and rebuffering.

Qwerty, I'm pretty sure Rose is aware that the whole show is scripted. The point is the character was forced to strip, and the idea of someone having to strip against their will was being portrayed as funny.

That bit felt slightly uncomfortable to me too. But I think since the stripping was made so absurd, with the wonderwoman costume etc, and since it made so many good points along the way (that sex is women's only power, and that there are a LOT of examples of sexism towards Clinton that we could drag up) it's not really too problematic, for me.

Pointing out sexism... with anti-feminism?

Apart from the clips pointing out the sexism, this video says to me... "aren't feminists stupid bitches".

And I'm guessing that's what it says to 90% of the other people watching it, too.

Evisiblewoman:

I know what you mean, everytime Kristin comes on the show, she always acts like she's dumb/ditzy, and Jon has to get her back on track to the original topic, but once she gets on track she makes great points and they're hilarious. I just don't like how at the beginning she's always portrayed as being ditzy.

Hopefully, she didn't write the beginning script.

Unbecoming- I'd vote for that!
