Don't know why they're freaking out so hard over a balloon. There was a Russian blimp in the Whitehouse for years...
😆😆😆😆😆😆😆!!!
which one?
Well played, sir...
😆😂🤣
Nice
Can we talk about Fox news anchors saying solar energy would provide the balloon with "unlimited surveillance". Did Fox news just promote solar energy?
Please find the fox news clip and comment this 🤣
With chemtrails causing cloud cover the FOX solar angle would come up short.
Backfire!!
More like denigrate it by tying it to China.
Same for the 'boom we're all on ventilators again'. Did they just admit the covid virus was a serious problem?
Mike pompeo's quote was the best. "it would have been shot down already if we were still in there"
Meanwhile, back in reality. They let it happen multiple times. With no shooting down
It's fairly alarming how dishonest the powerful are: they lie to your face with impunity. Voters let them get away with it. The DOJ are extremely reluctant to prosecute them.
You know that was proven a lie ,right? Try and keep up Satania.
It has happened multiple times over the past 50 years. So, yeah. Never shot down before that we heard about. And Pompeo’s an idiot.
@Aquatic Ape Try looking it up on CBC, BBC, AP, Snopes.
Trvmp claimed China "respects" him too much to have done that, yet it happened multiple times under his reign of terror.
Oh man I never get tired of Seth doing his impersonations it's gold every time
Wakeup dude! I'm Chinese. This is insane!! Even Taiwan, Japan, and South Korean media outlets have reported China's ballooning presence over US territories and military as an extremely serious concern. What is the reason behind people laughing and continuously making joke and making fun of Trump? He’a no longer president! Isn't America your own country? you are now facing the consequences, and it's likely that you will witness more challenging situations in the near future
So first they say the balloon could be filled with bio weapons and then they ask why if wasn’t shot down over US soil?
Yeah, I don’t know either.
It's Republicans, don't think too hard about it
@@duelgundam good point
Don't ask for sense out of Republicans. They huffed their own farts for the last 30 years and now they're brain dead
They were even concerned it might have covid in it! 🤣
The way they said they were scared of it popping because of potential bio weapons then questions why it wasn't shot down sooner wothout information on it🙄
Thank you. You saved me the trouble of writing it haha
You can't become a right wing reactionary by putting thought before actions or words. Thinking before speaking is such lefty socialist behavior that they simply can't do it.
@@JasonLeclere bahahaha 😅here to help
Yes!
Not to mention Biden did want to shoot it down but the smarty pantses in the military explained it’s not that safe to drop something from 60000feet or whatever
That closer look was so freaking funny I'm actually watching it again. 😆🤘🏼 thank you
Me, too! 😂
Love the “your jobs a lot easier than ours” line!😂
It cracked me up!
Dumbest people. I'm Chinese. This is insane!!

Why didn't Sarah Palin see the ballon? She can see it from her house.
She would have, but she was out on the snowmobiles
How much was Hunter getting from China that Biden allowed this spy balloon to fly all over USA?
"Tears pouring down their face" always gets me 😆
I couldn’t agree more - “a big, strong balloon with tears running down his latex face” was the chef’s kiss on Seth’s Trump impression
Trumps tax dollars at work.
Pretty sure the squeaking was balloon for _"Sir..."_
Same here! 😆
theatrical trick reality fake TV stunt
It's hard to believe that people could be that dumb. It's even harder to believe that someone actually put them on TV AND let them talk.
Why not, I mean they let all the Joy’s and Joe’s froth at the mouth and incite folks into tribal hatred, fox is just the other side of the idiot coin that is our MSM.

Totally crazy! In China, we call Biden as the China’s most expensive spy. You are seriously dumb and naive!
I can't remember which comedian said it, it may have been a couple who all said something similar, but it's not that the US is the only country with idiots, it's that other countries tend to shame their idiots into being quiet while in the US, they're encouraged to run for office.
That ballooned out of all proportion
The balloonacy must end.
yeah. lets go brandon.....
@@peartfaldoGood retort. 10/10. Must’ve taken you _hours_ to come up with such a witty response.
The whole "Big _, strong _, tears streaming down its _, and it said to me, it said 'sir...'" routine never fails to make me laugh out loud.

Big balloon, strong balloon 🎈 tears rolling down his face 😭
😂 👌 💯
I just don't want this episode to end! I want Seth to just keep talking and telling stories! P.s. where's my mug??
I totally agree with you.
No matter how long these videos are, they always end too soon.

I never knew so many clowns were afraid of balloons 🎈
Underrated comment
🤣🤣🤣
💛👏🏾🎈🏆
President XIden loves balloons and ice cream too.
@@SPAZZYok MAGA KKKARENS CRYING DAILY 🤣🤣🐑🐑🐑
George Santos is outraged that it took three days for him to get permission to shoot down the balloon with his missile expertise.
But he was even more outraged that the Pentagon scrapped his plan of skydiving onto it and commandeering it safely to the ground.
@@Richard-- This genuinely sounds like fun though... I volunteer for the next one
he IS THE BALLOON.
"MY OWN MOTHER died in the great Balloon Pogroms of 1864. Hundreds of thousands of innocent balloons were popped by the Czar... give me a moment to collect myself... and to check my eyeliner... oh, damn, my blush is uneven..."
@@Richard-- So he thought he was Tackleberry in Police Academy 4?
I've never seen so many well armed, grown men so terrified of a BALLOON!!!
The way distract myself from lingering over Seth's good looks is by enjoying his wonderful journalism.
So, they're afraid the balloon is filled with virus, and at the same time angry that it wasn't shot down over populated areas of the US? Does that make sense?
No one ever said shoot it down over a populated area don't be stupid
What doesn't make sense is how stupid libs are, it could have been shot down once it entered U.S. air space in the Pacific.
Nothing they do or say really makes sense!!!
“Not making sense” is one of Fox News’s slogans.
Nothing makes sense in MAGA World 🌎
It's funny how the Chinese can get "Unlimited Surveillance" out of a few solar panels, but the US can barely charge a cell phone.
I love how that dumbsack emphasized the solar part, as if it is just as bad as the spy thing. Republicans certainly are a kind of their own, bless their smooth brains.
Or an EV.
That is the Republican way. Every data point will always suit their needs perfectly.
Greatest country ever USA solar power? Pathetic, keep burning that coal forever!
Chinese solar? (Emperor Palpatine voice) UNLIMITED POWER!!!
We've lost the solar balloon wars.
yeah they are doing so good over there. Mao's social engineering has reaped bitter fruit. Xi wants three children. the chinese are working 6 days a week ,men and women. he just admitted his population has peaked. there are too many men and not enough women. reproduction and fertility are based on a women who does not work outside of her home. so we will just have to wait and see how an absolute ruler digs himself out. maybe he will start ww3 that's what absolute rulers do to take their population minds off the internal problems. look how well Putin is doing.
I'm so glad that I was not the only one who saw the humor in all of this. If I couldn't laugh at the stupidity, I'd have tears streaming down my face.
Would you also be a big guy, strong guy?
“Tears pouring down its latex face”
😂😂😂
News Balloons is the best way to refer to the "reporters" at fox news.
Another older term is Gas Bags.
I think it is more approoriate.
My thoughts exacly!
Actually kind of does a disservice to Helium. All their hot air is CO2!
do you mean that reporters at MSNBC work for Fox News?
Fox are the kings of right wing outrage clickbait. RUclips knows this, and that’s why they push them in their algorithms.
"did that balloon take of from wuhan?" fox news asking the real questions as usual lmao
😂
I'm gonna say that graphics nailed it on the balloon in first class, it legitimately looked relaxed! XD lmao
It did. Sipping its champagne.
I would have liked a straw into some opening ...
I LOVE how now every time Trump is referenced on this show he reminisces about someone he met, tears running down his eyes. I was just waiting for the balloon to have tears running down its eyes, and I was not disappointed.
These fake anecdotes should win an Emmy... perfect every single time.
and the balloon said "pppppfffffffffftttttttt!"
He should walk around with one of those little packages of Kleenex to wipe away the tears
There was an omission, though. In Trump's description, the very first thing the balloon would have said to him would be "Sir," ...and only then "psssstht...."
Big balloon, strong balloon
I often just listen to these while driving, and this time I had to replay it at home to see wth the graphics were
Seth, the proper term for the dealership tube guy is. "Whacky inflatable flailing arm tube man!" As a Family Guy cut away so gloriously described them and how they can so easy "raise the roof" at parties. 😆
Mike Pence could’ve popped that balloon with his unique pendulum hand-clap technique.
Okay that's actually really good, I'll give it to you😂😂
He would've sent his buddy, that fly that landed on his head, to go up and chew a hole in the balloon
MTG could’ve got a space laser pointed at it.
The only clap that is 100% guaranteed to keep the gay away.
@@KlaximumSkroeft *Offer not valid in Indiana
Best A Closer Look in awhile. Well done.
Hearing them say "Chinese spy balloon" so many times in a row made it sound like it was nonsense words- "Chaiynee Spiabaleune"
Fox rant is hilarious 😂😂😂…”is it filled with CANDY?!”..😂
Coulda been filled with some covid20. THAT would be funny!!
@@shenanigansagain5273 it was filled with Chinese made MAGA hats
Filled with woke M&Ms!!
If the balloon was "filled with virus" or a "bioweapon" as Fox feared, it makes even less sense that they wanted to shoot it down over the US 🤣😂
since when did they ever make sense?
Unless it has some sort of magical release function
Unless you believe the theory that Fox New wants to get its viewers killed
Fox News-The Ministry of Truth
War is Peace.
Freedom is Slavery.
Ignorance is Strength.
@@redjellonian8126 Stormy claims Trump has a little magic release button. More of a mushroom cap but anyway lol
Is it bad that my biggest takeaway from this isn't joy of laughter, but that "box wine" triggered me to go "have I thrown that out yet?"
I have a feeling that's EXACTLY how the conversation between the writers and the graphics team went.
I got dibs on naming my new post-punk band Chinese Spy Balloon. Out first single: a cover of the 5th Dimension's "Up Up and Away."
Spry baroon
99 Red Balloons by Nena. And Balloon For A Cat by Ai Otsuka.
Pink Floyd's "Great Gig in the Sky"
A punk, or post-punk, take on that particular song would be a very interesting cover! How you do it is up to you, but please send me a sample, because that's not one I tended to think of as needing a ""post-punk upgrade!"
Tbh, it always kinda sounded like a used-car commercial jingle to me, but please don't let that stop you!
I love that they say “the balloon is still on the move”, like yeah Dude, balloons tend to keep moving.
Too stupid to understand that people were saying it should be stopped?
Yeah,.. why is that 🤔
If only we had an Extremely Well Educated, Orange Clown. That knows the Best Words. To tell us all about how BALLOONS Work.
... that might get Stormy 😂🤣😂

"The balloon may be full of bioweapons that would infect us when it's shot down" and also "why is Biden not shooting down the balloon?!" from the same person within the same show is what you get when you ask "hey Siri, what is Fox News".
To quote Monty Python, "Maybe it would help to confuse them if we ran away more." Seems to be the logic at Faux which most people with the sense god gave geese would know the difference.
Hi Seth, I love the sarcasm and irony in your opener - it cracked me up!
OMG, I'd pay good money to hear Donnie try to pronounce 'dirigible'
I’d pay good money to never hear Donnie speak again.
@@ellengrace4609 Me too!
Ha! Torn now - how about we give him three tries at “dirigible” and after, he has to hold his peace forever?
I'd pay more to hear Biden try it.
Person woman man camera TV dirigi... dirgab ... digi... balloon.
Hey, kudos to the sound team for the deflating balloon gag.
I laughed so hard that I couldn't breathe!
I think I just lost 5 pounds laughing so hard 🤣🤣🤣 thanks Seth!!!!
They cannot even settle on what conspiracy to go with it's so ridiculous...
3:00 Seth, you can add Flailing Inflatable Man to your impressions list! lol, nailed it!
Lmao graphics department deserves a raise that balloon in first class was hilarious made my day 😂
I was hoping for a tie on the balloon
Seth always references Graphics, but he never gives them credit like he does with his writers. About a spot inspection on the graphics department? Surely not all their graphics land. (Pun intended at the end).
@@christinebenson518 a really long red tie.
I want to give a special award for that wig on the inflatable figure. What the heck was that!? 😂
what was the little beep just as the graphic was teken down?
Knowing Trump he'd stare at the balloon like it's a Solar Eclipse. 💁🏿♂️🌘
Maybe he did the three times a Chinese balloon did before.
@@richsackett3423 That explains that NFT card. He really does have laser eye vision!
So ... Lara Clips, my old nemesis! We meet again!
More than likely, Trump would have had it shot down, before it ever reached our airspace.
But, seeings how the Chinese have Biden in their pocket, the balloon was given a chance to obtain what data it needed.
I try to entice ppl to never capitalize “trump” - he and his name don’t deserve the effort, and it’s offensive to the senses when ppl take the time to bestow ANY respect in his general direction. 😊
Myers still has the best Trump impression 😂
my roomate and I were watching this getting ready to say it: "the baloon said SIR..." and then ...:0)
I know you americans are in trouble and we feel you but that was hilarious!
no way he knows the word "dirigible," but I love the concept
Too many syllables for Donny
Lol ok I just got to the balloon but 🤣 I should have waited til the end to comment. This episode is HILARIOUS 🎉
When that ding bat brought up the laptop I involuntarily screamed at the screen.
Big balloon, strong balloon 😂
Yuuuuuuge balloon 😂
I listen to "A Closer Look" while driving to work. I love when there's a new one!
You miss all the graphics man
you are going to work, now!
Same
Well have a good night at work then.
If I listened to the end of this one while driving, I might've had to pull over from laughing so hard
love that this episode essentially recreated Doofenshmirtz and Balloony as a bit
Seth is so darn good with the impressions and impersonations he just turns it on and off like its nothing
Holy crap, Seth's English accent is amazing. I'm English.
Seth has the BEST imitations of the former guy - i always feel tears running down my face because I'm laughing so hard!
"Jackal came up to me, tears in their eyes, big jackal, strong jackal, ..."
Excuse me but you will address him by his appropriate name!
"DIPSH!+"
'Chinese Spy Balloon' was my favorite late 80's New Wave band!
99 Red Balloons by Nena!
Personally I was more a Marjie and the Jewish Space Lazers fan.
@Zach Hogan people who like balloons don't like the word "pop"
I was more into Zeppelin
Red Rocks at sunset. 1988... sublime. 😁
ALL media outlets freaked out. 🤦♂️
Truly one of the moments of history.
Two of the things that make me happiest during these weirdass times are 1) Seth doing trump- it was incredible tonight and 2) Seth doing Lindsey Graham, especially when Lindsey's talking with Mee-Maw!! Y'all are wonderful, keep it up.
Every time I see Lindsey in a Closer Look clip, I just know the Mee-Maw bit is coming up and the smile is hard to hold back
Meemaw is the best! Imaging grown-ass Lindsay yelling at his mom always makes me laugh!
Those are good impressions, but Mike Lindell is my favorite..."da Bears"
This makes you happy? Imagine behaving like this in your personal life - it's just so childish. Scoffing with your friends at folks who annoy you at work, I mean it's just so childish and undignified.
How has our culture come to be like this? It's our lives, our countries, our prosperity and what we've reduced it to is a bunch of kids squabbling over power while the public cheers it on and sleeps through inequity that they slide in while we are distracted.
@@bloopbleepnothinghere Get outta here with your childish kill-joy ways.
The sheer quantity of balloon jokes is astounding
it's that darn inflation, thanks Biden!
@@bmonroe6947
... and you 'Edited' that 😂
They do love the uneducated 🤤
They really blew it out of proportion.
So true! but they still don't keep the idiot afloat: now only 37% would want him to run again in 2024
Writers just riding a bubble destined to burst
Just the word balóooón is funny. Watching this. Best coverage yet. Thank yo!
8:40 Honestly, the most unbelievable part of this joke is that Trump could accurately pronounce 'dirigible.'
Definitely too many syllables
Yes, could have been a “bigly” balloon … lol
Some say it's the bigglyest balloon ever made. CHINA sure knows how to make balloons. We don't do that anymore in the US. Sad. The proud balloon farmers are going out of business... But I'm gonna turn that around...
he would have mispronounced it once, known he fucked up, and said "or a..." and then mispronounced it a second time in a different way
@@muddro420 ‘I love the dirgibells. Big dirgibells. We all know what they are.’
Wait don't they always complain about Solar now its an unlimited power source.. How does the US actually allow these TV networks to masquerade as news channels?
WE. DON'T. KNOW!!!!!
Always love your ending stick.
In the age of spy satellites, a balloon just seems like amateur hour.
Apparently, to get in our airspace, all you have to say is, "It accidently drifted."
The US said the same thing about the U2 accidently overflying the Soviet Union in 1960 because they assumed the pilot didn't survive the crash.
If Vance pulled the trigger in that moment, he would have separated his own eggs from his 'lap.'
No loss to society, whatsoever.
The last part! Great!
That Pompeii needs investigation
Nearly choked on my breakfast when the "balloon in the Oval Office" bit came up. 🤣
Yes, me too. We love the balloon, don't we folks?
All the helium in that balloon wouldn’t make me laugh as much as you made me, Mr. Meyers.
Helium isn’t laughing gas.
Easily entertained, as most dullards are.
Just think how all that helium could have improved the fox broadcast! Oh to hear that!
Republicans were so scared of the balloon, it actually forced them to acknowledge the unlimited potential of renewable energy!
The 'air dancer' looks just like Anthony Kiedis! lol
Seth trying not to laugh is so good
He recovered so well after the balloon fart
Agree!
I was waiting for that Pennywise joke, Seth. Thank you.
NOTHING that balloon could see was secret! LOL
When he said, "I don't know, probably not" after Bartiromo's fear mongering, I laughed probably the hardest I have during any Closer Look.
But... what if that was 'Balloon Boy' making a triumphant return?
I remember watching that live!
As the prophecy foretold
Escaped Uyghurs trying for freedom but got swept too high.
Thump Jr. Posted of the TFG baby balloon in diapers. I didn't understand the joke but it looked like he was making fun of his daddy
that whole thing was. ... questionable. Look into with the information that came out once the media had lost interest and it seems to be another 'mcdonald's coffee' situation, as in the media taking something that had a grain of truth and fabricating a narrative to push ratings
The best idea that I have heard floated (pun intended) is to send a giant Winnie the Pooh balloon back over China
Or one of those giant
BABY TRUMP balloons!
Their bees are endangered and probably don't make the right kind of hunny.
I'll help you inflate that even if we have to use bike pumps! AWESOME IDEA!
Jinping really does look like Whinnie the Pooh. It's uncanny. Even Jinping can't unsee it. 😉
Hahahah one of my best closer look 😂
I guess Trump could claim 'plausible deniability' over the balloons during his time in office, given that he apparently opted not to get the usual daily national security brief.
Every time Fox News says something wouldn't have happened under Trump, I'm reminded of that time Boris Epshteyn tweeted *_a photo of a riot that occurred during Trump's presidency_* with the comment "This would be @JoeBiden's America".
"What's in the balloon? A bioweapon?"
"Why didn't they shoot down the balloon while it was over US soil?"
Funny how Faux News don't even care about contradicting themselves in the most ridiculous ways....in a matter of mere minutes.
Graphics and sound effects depts. crushed it in this one!! ⭐
Damn! It was in my state and I didnt get to see it!?! When's its next tour!?!😆
We were all on ventilators? I'm glad I just stayed home.
I was flummoxing
"A big balloon, strong balloon, tears streaming down its latex face...". 🤣
The rumor is that Xi was delivering Skittles to the great Orange scrud at Mar a Lago.
They remind me of the Chief from the opening of the show F-Troop from back in the day.
okay but can we paint a Star of David on it to distract MTG?
"we're on ventilators again"?! I thought it was a hoax?!?!
Loved the English accent!👍🏼...
🤣🤣🤣
It is so rare for the sound effect to actually play at the right time on Late Night. (That damn My Pillow.) Precision on that balloon squeak, though. XD
Fox News is unreasonably worked up over things like balloons and Sims updates
And Xbox power saving mode and green m&m 🤣
And Sam Smith at the Grammys for "Satan Worship" XD (not Doctor Who lol)
They claim they would not have allowed the balloon to fly, but these people are clowns. Aren't clowns known for balloons
@@kidunderabridge Sam Smith. You had me confused AF lol.
Oh sweet jesus, there was a Sims update? F - I knew I should've kept watching Faux for the important stories
@Merble That's on you, dude! Sam Smith & Kim Petras performed during the Grammys, and on SNL 2 weeks before that! Funny how a song lit with red lighting when performed live is "Satanic" and
" Anti-American" when it's protected under the First Amendment.
Fox hosts will send this to Florida for scrutiny, to be sure!!
Thank you Seth and hi friends
Hi!
I had no idea that anyone on Fox even believed in solar energy.
