Triumph the Insult Comic Dog Mercilessly Roasts Anti-Trump Liberals [WATCH]

In a surprising move, “The Daily Show” on Comedy Central aired a segment on Wednesday that took aim at liberal protesters during Donald Trump’s inauguration day.

The satirical news program employed the biting humor of Triumph the Insult Comic Dog, a character created by comedian Robert Smigel, known for his no-holds-barred approach to comedy.

Triumph has a history of delivering sharp, often cringe-inducing insults. His latest appearance involved covering the anti-Trump protests in Washington, D.C., capturing the crowd’s mood with his characteristic sarcasm.

“Here in Washington, D.C., at the People’s March, we are here with everyone in America who thinks Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski still have good on-screen chemistry,” Triumph quipped to start the segment.

He went on to describe the protesters as covering “a full spectrum of literally every stage of depression.”

Throughout the segment, which lasted over six minutes, Triumph did not spare the audience from his sharp tongue.

He commented on the physical fitness of the protesters with, “Let’s face it, no one here is gonna smash any windows at the Capitol,  that would require upper body strength.”

He also touched on the social awkwardness of some protesters, suggesting, “Do you think the numbers of women participating in this March have dropped off because they don’t see themselves represented by the Democrats, or because you kept talking to them about Deadpool?”

One of the more memorable lines from Triumph was about the protesters’ concerns: “Seriously, looking around here, I’ve never seen so many people worried about losing the right to contraceptives for purely hypothetical reasons.”

The segment climaxed with Triumph orchestrating a mock “storming” of a local coffee shop, where he donned an outfit reminiscent of the “QAnon Shaman,” leading the protesters to humorously reclaim their “muffins.”

While this segment might seem minor, it marks a notable shift for shows like “The Daily Show,” which have historically focused their satire on Republican figures.

This trend of broadening comedic targets was also evident in recent “Saturday Night Live” (SNL) appearances by Chris Rock and Dave Chappelle, where they both took jabs at Democrats.

Chris Rock, during his opening monologue in December, humorously critiqued the expectations of dignity from a president, stating, “Come on, man, this is not the most dignified job in the world. We’ve had presidents show up to the inauguration with pregnant slaves, okay? And I’m just talking about Bill Clinton.”

Similarly, Dave Chappelle has been given leeway to explore a broader spectrum of political humor in his recent appearances.

Whether these instances signify a change in the landscape of political comedy, where no side is spared from ridicule, or if they are merely one-offs, remains to be seen.

However, it does suggest that comedy might be returning to its roots of equal-opportunity mockery.
