I don't watch tDS, but have seen the commercials while watching Tosh.

In which ways are they making fun of Alabamians (all southerners ultimately)?

They have poor ratings in Alabama and want to explore why that is while doing comedic journalism. I do not expect it to be flattering at all.

Because making fun of white people in the South is always a safe bet. No chance of a backlash from your primary audience.

They spent a few days in Montgomery from what I've seen and read, so they're poking fun at our government. Certainly a LOT to poke fun at there.

I saw the segment they did on religion in Alabama. They did a showcase on the church signs and interviewed one Pastor because his sign said mean things about Trump. Things got uncomfortable for the correspondent when the Pastor shared his feelings on gay marriage. It wasn't really very funny, but there were a few chuckle moments.

They could do a full month on our fricking corrupt politicians and the people that voted for them.

They're here all week. It's not like there is a shortage of material to work with.
