It's pretty trivial to set up AdBlock and watch The Daily Show sans commercials. You're right, it's a day late, and you may have to wait a few seconds to watch Jon Stewart's mug in glorious HD, however it's still more convenient than finding a torrent.
- pessimizer 12y agoNothing's more convenient than finding a torrent of a hit show. The process involves typing "daily show" into a search bar, hitting enter, then clicking "download torrent" on the one that looks like what you want (which will normally be at the top of the list.)

- devindotcom 12y agoYou're skipping over the whole part where you have to download and configure a torrent client, and get a video player that reads MKVs and other containers encoded with x264... and probably a few other steps. Compared with hitting the power button a TV and clicking up and down until you find something, the torrenting process is labyrinthine. (Popcorn Time and others, of course, fix this somewhat)
- pessimizer 12y agoBecause it's a one time setup. You're skipping the sometimes multi-week process of getting cable installed.
- Patrick_Devine 12y agoTyping "thedailyshow.com" into a browser and just watching the show and having AdBlock+ remove all the ads is pretty convenient. A large percentage of people are using ad blocking software anyway, so setup once and forget about it.
