Comedy Central’s New Video Rating System
While navigating Comedy Central video, you’ll notice the "thumbs up" icon beneath the player on the right hand side. If you like a video, just click the icon to rate it. We chose the thumbs up rather than the five star rating system because on the previous version of the site, we found that most videos were rated between three to five stars, making them largely indistinguishable from each other. With the "thumbs up" system, videos that receive the highest number of votes are featured under the “Most Popular” tab. Please let us know how you like it!

PLEASE GOD, I DIDN'T HAVE ANY OTHER WAY TO GET IN CONTACT WITH COMEDY CENTRAL. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PLEASE CANCEL MIND OF MENCIA. PLEASE CANCEL HIS STUPID STUPID STUPID STUPID STUPID SHOW!
Mind Of Mencia is one of the funniest shows on TV. Carlos Mencia is a genius.
Here's an idea: when you search for a video with certain content, like looking for clips of your favorite Daily Show commentator, when you get to the results, the link DOESN'T take you to the general video page. That's right, it DOESN'T. It DOES NOT dump you onto a page full of clips that you don't want to see and didn't search for. Instead (and here's the novel part) it TAKES YOU TO THE VIDEO YOU WERE SEARCHING FOR! Imagine that! Clicking a link after doing a search for something and actually getting to that something. It's insane, right!
Here's another idea: FIX YOUR STALLING, CRAPPY PLAYER BEFORE YOU WORK ON ANY OTHER FEATURES.
I have seriously NEVER seen a flash player as BAD as yours. Just let the file load as fast as the connection for crying out loud, each clip can't be more than 20-30 meg. If you can't do it hire in someone with a degree that doesn't come from the Online Micronesian University of Soaring Excellence to do it.
YOUR PLAYER IS LACKING METRIC SHIT-TONS OF CROMULENCE.
P.S. I HOPE TO GOD THERE IS A BEAR WAITING FOR YOU.
Looks like the 300x250 ads on /videos/ are on top of the video player in FF3 on Leopard. Shifted left like 300px or more.
And why does the player stall on the clips, but then run smooth as butter on the adverts?
common guys, this is pretty appauling.
The videos don't load in firefox. I will rate all your videos 1 star because a white space where a video should be is the dumbest video ever.
Seriously, why in God's name are you people adding crappy features when you can't make the damn thing work as well as Youtube's player worked when they launched in 2005?
Just about every flash video player seen today on the Internet works better then yours.
CANINE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE SUSPENDS CAMPAIGN

CANINE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE SUSPENDS CAMPAIGN
(RANCHO DEL ALPO. MASSACHUSETTS) --- Reggie the Sheprador, independent candidate for US President, suspended his campaign today. The first canine to seek the White House this century, the write-in campaign ceased operations after releasing one of the candidate's rare public statements.
Speaking through a translator, Reggie said he made the decision to withdraw from the race after seeing poll numbers showing his support trailing that of Joe Wurzelbacher. "Do you know the difference between me and Joe the Plumber," he asked? "I've got a license."
After thanking his supporters, Reggie noted with pride his campaign's most noteworthy accomplishments. "My opponents have spent millions, and one of them will lose," he said doggedly. "We, by contrast, never sought a dime of public money, didn't bother to raise private donations and donated all our under the table corporate pay-offs to charity. And while those noisy human candidates bark about their rotten press coverage, especially after they've done something rotten, our campaign can proudly say we haven't answered a single question in six months."
"The rest is in a written statement," he concluded, refering to a pile of photocopies of the official withdrawal of his candidacy. The male, nine year old German Shepherd/Labrador mix then licked the faces of a few supporters and retreated to the backyard, where he spread his influence under a lilac bush.

"SCRATCHING TO BE LET OUT"
by Reggie Sheprador, independent candidate for President
(translated from the original Canine)
What a great and challenging political season this has been! Unlike my opponents, I've enjoyed being part of a campaign completely free from vicious attacks; and, speaking as a dog, I know a thing or two about vicious attacks. No one questioned my campaign finances because I didn't have any. Never once was I hounded by the media because I successfully eluded them. I bought no air time, I held no big rallies, and I didn't even issue a single press release. Instead, I have taken the high road and avoided the ugly fray, observing the drama carefully like the experienced guard dog I am as the fur flew.
Before I withdraw even further from the spotlight, I'd like to share with you some observations. Having the luxury of gathering zero percent of the vote in every poll taken this year -- not even Chuck Todd thinks I can make up the difference in time for Election Day 2008 -- I have the freedom to tell the general public what the biggest problem really is in this or any other election: the general public.
That's no way to win friends and influence people, but if Dog is Man's best friend and Dog doesn't tell you, who will? Don't take it personally. See, I'm wagging my tail and everything.
You've grown accustomed to hearing candidates bark at each other, especially through their campaign advertising. Maybe the real problem isn't in Washington but on Madison Avenue. Still, it's not the fault of Mad Men if most people are choosier about buying peanut butter than they are about voting.
We are repeatedly told, and frequently believe, that Washington is the source of all our problems. Even candidates who have spent decades on Capitol Hill will ask for one more chance to "clean up Washington." Ever wonder how all those free-spending, immoral jackals got to DC in the first place? It's because the YOU, my fellow Americans, voted them in.
What's your excuse? Do you feel like you were duped? Did you do a little more homework for the next election or just go with your gut --- again?
Oh, wait, I know. It's not your fault. It must be "the media." Now repeat after me: "The media is the problem."
First, where did you learn to speak English? The word "media" is plural. You should have said, "the media ARE the problem." More importantly, you should think about it before you say it again.
Here's a simple fact about media you'll never hear on AM radio: they're not one, big thing. Even with deregulation which allows media corporations nearly unlimited and unchecked power to buy up as many outlets as they wish (thanks a buttload, Bill Clinton), the news media are still a diverse group of newspapers, magazines, TV and radio stations, cable and satellite news channels, and a plethora of sketchy websites.
Some take journalism very seriously and attempt, sometimes successfully, to present factual information. Others are pushing a political agenda, whether or not they bother to disguise it.
The acrimonious army of Rush Limbaugh wannabes would have you believe that nearly everything you read or hear first must pass through a collosal left-wing filter. If Liberals control the news media, why do you hear and read so many complaints about it? If this nasty, elitist, Liberal Media Bogeyman hiding under your bed were instead running a restaurant, how many bad reviews would be posted in his window?
It's all a dream. Take your oxycontin and go back to sleep.
Not that the media are perfect, mind you. If they were, they would always bring the truth to light, no matter how unpopular it would be with consumers of news and among advertisers; you know, they way they did just before the Iraq invasion. Remember seeing those doubting Thomases voicing their concerns on TV in the early days of the war and just prior to it?
Of course you don't, silly. It was too soon after 9-11. You, the people, would have been shocked, SHOCKED to learn how questionable the Bush 43 Administration's case was and would have cancelled your print subscriptions and organized complaints to sponsors and the FCC.
So don't shoot the messengers. Just hold them accountable when you can prove them wrong. And again, I don't hold the news media blameless; I just have no patience for people who think there's an organized disinformation campaign going on every time they see footage of a corrupt politician resigning in disgrace.
The truth is that liberals don't control the flow of information in this country. They're too busy running Hollywood and Broadway. Film and theater are also media, but they're not news media. Which reminds me: NBC, get Martin Sheen's voice off the Nightly News intro. What the hell were you thinking?
One more thing about those liberals and their ties to the media: In the 1970s, liberals, perhaps bouyed by their still incomplete success in the Civil Rights movement, began to push for an end to job discrimination against women. As an unintended consequence of their efforts, Sarah Palin was able to earn her Bachelor of Arts degree in journalism and get a job as a weekend sports anchorperson on local TV. Since being nominated, she has not held a single press conference, turned down far more requests for interviews than she has granted, fluffed the few interviews she actually held, labeled her critics sexist and blamed her problems on the media.
And yet, she still has many supporters. Rabid ones, at that.
Too bad Senator McCain didn't pick ME as his running mate. I've already been thoroughly vetted.
And so, as I officially withdraw from the 2008 Presidential horserace, I do so without regret. I've seen how you people behave in a hotly contested campaign, and you're a bunch of animals!
Oh, yeah, and how come you haven't abolished that stupid Electoral College yet? Don't you remember all the crap you went through in 2000? Do you want to go through it again? Shouldn't the person who gets the most votes win? What the hell is wrong with you?
Don't think I'm bitter, but I've had it with you nitwits. Do yourselves a favor. Don't drive around with an '08 campaign sticker in '09, '10 and beyond. No matter who wins and who loses, cover the old bumper sticker with something else, like one of mine. That way, no matter what bad things happen, no one can blame you. In politics, that's really the key.
Finally, what's the difference between Reggie the Dog and Joe the Plumber? Reggie has a license. So long, and God Bless America.

Why can i not view videos using Firefox on ComedyCentral.com; specifically when i go to the StandUp section. I have updated Flash, have the most current version of Firefox and have tried on multiple PC's and my MacPro laptop. Only browser i can view videos on is IE7. Any thoughts or ideas?
I wished they had a show like Maher's political incorrect show that was based on that PBS show where journalists made comments on the president. They basicially gave their opinons and advice.
Very nice effect, and great tutorials thanks for sharing. I read your blog and I feel that the information about "computer" it's really appreciable.Thanks for sharing with us ...
ridiculous
