People that don't watch South Park, Daily Show and Colbert Report, always accuse their audiences of being dim witted or unintelligent. However, having been to a live recording of the Colbert Report, and judging from people I know that watch them, the people that watch these shows are incredibly intelligent. These shows force them to look at everything from all perspectives. They do not want something simple to make them laugh, they need some thought put into it. Others from the same age group that do not watch these shows have difficulty when it comes to critical analysis and often prefer television shows such as Jersey Shore or American Idol that does not stimulate your mind.
