I do not think Bernie Goldberg would recognize humor if it came up to him, politely shook his hand and introduced itself. Goldberg: “They’re humorless.”

Will is respectful in conversation, and dignified even with people he radically disagrees with. He doesn't smirk and mug for the camera, but appears to be actually LISTENING. I dunno which is worse in that clip, Goldberg's nastiness or that fucking self-satisfied smirk of O'Reilly's. Mandy, there is also something to be said for the fact that G.

No, that's not it. What you're saying and doing isn't funny. It's not even the "nuh-uh, you did-ent!" line-crossing kind of not-funny. It's just... not even a little bit clever. Or witty. The way these two guys talked to and about Helen Thomas was simply mean and obnoxious. You might even say humorless. Goldberg: “They’re humorless.”
