Stephen Colbert

[Tead42]

Legend. This man is amazing, and most of his best jokes go straight over the audiences head, which makes me laugh even harder. What do you think about him?

I always find him funny, and the fact that his ego is the size of the sun certainly helps. His portrait comes to mind:

I Heart Stephen Colbert.

[Regards]

The fact that he's a Sunday school teacher makes me chuckle.

[FTSJess]

I Heart Stephen Colbert.

As do I.

[swt_catastrophe]

LOVE him.

[Metal Now]

Hate to be an unimaginative poster, but god do I love me some Stephen Colbert.

:txtloves:

always wanted to use this

[re7ard1337]

he's funny, but i'd have to say i like the daily show more than the cobert report.

i agree with this

"Is there a wand in my pocket or am I just excited for the new Harry Potter movie? This is the Colbert Report!"

I find myself watching Colbert more than Daily show, but they're slightly different. The Daily Show has evolved into making sense of the world and what constitutes as being right (from a liberal perspective) and what should be done about it, using humor to make it enjoyable. Colbert on the other hand has embodied his own conservative pundit persona and what he says is just mocking conservative values and it's because he's so over-the-top is why he's a funnier personality. I still view Jon Stewart as one of the smartest and most witty people in the media.

Great man or greatest man?

The white house correspondents dinner was enough to cement him a place in american political history.

Prefer Jon Stewart.

[The Personist]

Greatest man.

Colbert/Jesus '12

[runningohfive]

Stephen Colbert...is...the fucking MAN!!

[:-)]

Colbert as a person is hilarious but Stewart's show is much, much funnier.

I am america (and so can you!) is one of the funniest books Ive ever read though

[saysmydoctor]

Colbert/Jesus '12
Fun fact: sugar is Jesus' dandruff.

[jwicklun]

sucks he's taking a break for 3 weeks. I don't think I will last.

[Codi23]

This. One of the best things ever. Seriously.

I haven't seen a single Colbert Report that hasn't made me laugh; the satire goes way over some people's heads. Love it.

[bladerdude360]

The man is a genius. Tons of his stuff definitely goes way over some people's heads, but it's hilarious. It took me a little while to get used to him but once I did I loved it.

[saysmydoctor]

For the record, this episode where he poured sugar on himself and everything in that episode = one of the best episodes ever

[open mind]

the comedy central newshour is golden.

each half has it's strengths. stewart is better at getting to the heart of an issue and colbert is the best at getting everyone to realize just how insanely ludicrous much of this countries politcal discussion really is.

[fightinirish217]

he's funny, but i'd have to say i like the daily show more than the cobert report.

Agreed. Colbert is funny though as you said. His book his absolutely hilarious.

[caveBEAR]

My only complaint about the Colbert Report is all the damn people who like to brag about how 'all teh jokes go over dum persons heads lulz'.

[Animalhill]

I cannot believe he wasn't shot on stage.

[jwicklun]

read I am America (And so can you!). Almost as funny as Jon Stewart's book

[Codi23]

My only complaint about the Colbert Report is all the damn people who like to brag about how 'all teh jokes go over dum persons heads lulz'.

It's not bragging, it's completely true.

My parents try to watch this with me sometimes, they are conservative, and they have no idea he's bashing conservative pundits. Same thing with a buddy of mine; I have to tell him 'he's pretty much making fun of what you believe'. It definitely goes over people's heads.

[jwicklun]

i could not believe Stephen actually got the Birther queen on the show. She obviously did not know she was being mocked.

[WarpSpeedChewy]

Had no idea he was a Sunday School teacher. That's kinda of cool.

For the record, this episode where he poured sugar on himself and everything in that episode = one of the best episodes ever
This is one of my favorite moments of the show ever. (http://www.colbertnation.com/the-colbert-report-videos/185692/september-25-2008/-nights-in-rodanthe--premiere) Kinda of reminds me of that.

yeah i agree my parents think he's great but despise jon stewart. i havent told them that stephen used to be on the daily show haha.

^ your parents must be morons.

[ted is lying]

^ your parents must be morons.
You think people are morons because they are conservative, and dont like John Stewart. You sir are a nincompoop.

[MyNameIsRoss]

No, because his parents can't see that Colbert is satirical. Thus they are morons. You have just showed me you are one as well.

[ted is lying]

For someone who isn't watching every episode, they won't what is about. Try watching most tv in the middle of a season. You don't know anything till you watch a bit more.

[Machu505]

If you can't tell it's satire from watching 2 minutes of it, you're a moron.

[ted is lying]

One of my professors was watching this and he yelling the next day at how they can broadcast this republican mind control. I guess he didn't get it either.

[Machu505]

He's either incredibly stupid or takes life too seriously.

[Codi23]

This thread has become quite judgmental...

Let's get back to the part where Colbert is hilarious, and it's a fun show to watch. There, that wasn't too difficult.

[MyNameIsRoss]

That was the fault of the morons..

[Codi23]

Stephen Colbert is funny, and I enjoy his show :thumbup:.

[Machu505]

Better Know a District, Formidable Opponent, and Tip of the Hat/Wag of the Finger all collectively ftw.

[coryatlarge]

^ your parents must be morons.
well they are republicans! zing!
but i think they see it as like the opposite of the daily show or something. they've only seen a few episodes though so maybe after they see a few more they'll get the picture.
No, because his parents can't see that Colbert is satirical. Thus they are morons. You have just showed me you are one as well.
yeah my parents also watch glenn beck so its safe to say they are somewhat stupid when it comes to their tv show choices.

I love when the guy gets slapped across the head :-d . Nailed 'em is usually pretty funny.

[MyNameIsRoss]

Movies Destroying America for me.

[Machu505]

The only segment I don't find insanely hilarious is the one where he's a doctor and with Prescott Pharmaceuticals.

[beardedyodeler]

That is one of the best segments. Some of the side effects he comes up with are hilarious.

[saysmydoctor]

Only comedian I'm aware of who made the House of Representatives part of his shtick. So, therefore win.
