“The Daily Show” compares DNC themes to “Fast & Furious” movie titles

The daily show has a bone to pick with the issues being discussed each night at the ongoing Democratic National Convention.

On Monday’s episode, moderator Michael Kosta emphasized the importance of the political event’s themes, noting that they help the party lay out “its concrete vision” for the future. He then cut to an MSNBC clip revealing the full list: “For the People” on Monday, “A Bold Vision for America’s Future” on Tuesday, “A Fight for Our Freedoms” on Wednesday and “For Our Future” on Thursday.

And, well, Kosta is curious? “Hm. A bold political move by the Democrats: Tuesday is for the future, and Thursday… is also for the future,” he joked. “How can you have topics that are so vague and then still run out of ideas on Thursday?”

Kosta then compared the unimaginative titles of the Democratic Party with the Fast and the Furious Franchise.

“It’s like back then, when The Fast & the Furious Movies have run out of ways to say the movies would be fast and furious,” he joked, before showing a series of both real and fake Fast and Furious Movie title: “2 Fast 2 Furious, Faster and wilder, And The fastest and most furious.”

He added jokingly: “We get it, the car is humming.”

Kosta is not wrong. Fast & the FuriousThe 2003 sequel was titled 2 Fast 2 Furious and — with the exception of 2006 Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift and 2009 Fast & Furious — the franchise has largely limited itself to including the number of the current film in its title, as Almost 5, Angry 7, F9and finally Fast X.

Elsewhere, Kosta also mocked all the “unfounded rumors” from reporters that superstars Taylor Swift and Beyoncé might also perform at the convention.

“Why do our news reporters talk such nonsense?” he asked. “It’s like throwing a birthday party when you’re 13 and saying, ‘Hey, my cousin says he knows Tony Hawk, so he could come over.'”

Whether Swift and Beyoncé Strictly speaking Whether they will appear at the convention remains to be seen, but both have already endorsed President Joe Biden in the 2020 election and encouraged their fans to vote in the years since. Beyoncé’s 2016 song “Freedom” is also currently being used as the campaign song for Vice President and Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris.
