"Everybody Speaks Nonsense" is a very popular program in Taiwan. At the same time, it also receives the extensive concerns of Mainland and other overseas countries. This political satire show relies on its unique points and performance to display lots of drawbacks of Taiwan, specializing in satirizing the political events. Since the people gradually realized that the television talk shows for the most part become the "performance field" of different political parties, different political groups and the people who have different political suggestion, the political satire shows with the exaggerated and satiric style, have got the approval of more and more audience. Because they can stand on the people's position to see the problem.This study uses the concepts of television culture and political culture to make a analysis of the "Everybody Speaks Nonsense" program. The study found that most discussion topics of this program are about politic, and it still contains the topic of the society, culture, education and so on. And it also has a specific narrative structure.Meanwhile, when the people gradually fed up about the political topic, the "Everybody Speaks Nonsense" program had produced a striking propagandistic effect by the means of its exaggerated and amusing style. From the angle of amusement, as a kind of "Crazy Game", "Everybody Speaks Nonsense" program brings happiness to audience by the way of consuming the famous persons. From the political point of view, it not only achieved the goal of propagating but also had the function of pressure reducer. It becomes a political tool to discongest the pressures of the whole people and relax the social contradiction. However, this way can not really solve the social contradiction in Taiwan. At the same time, the "Everybody Speaks Nonsense" program reflects that the common people of Taiwan have cognitive confusion on "the Republic of China" and "national approval". They are in the mood of rebellion and political distrust .
