wow I'm surprised the secret service didn't rush the president out and away from that bomb.

Colbert has more balls than God.

Ouch. This is painful to watch. Funny, but painful. It's worse than a roast. Where was Bea Arthur sitting anyway?

Kaldaur · Post by **Kaldaur** » May 1, 2006, 2:50 am

Wow, he's attacking everyone. I love it.

Aslanna · Post by **Aslanna** » May 1, 2006, 2:58 am

That was mostly not funny. I laughed a few times during part 1 but the second one was a waste of time.

Drolgin Steingrinder · Post by **Drolgin Steingrinder** » May 1, 2006, 7:21 am

That was the ballsiest thing, ever.

Breagen · Post by **Breagen** » May 1, 2006, 7:38 am

I was waiting to find out it was just staged and he wasn't actually there...

Thank fuck someone finally did it.

Lynks · Post by **Lynks** » May 1, 2006, 8:11 am

I used to like Colbert in small doses on the Daily Show, but I'm not a fan anymore. He's just not funny.

Same.

And Nick. People have been saying those things for 5 years. It's not original.

Nick · Post by **Nick** » May 1, 2006, 10:36 am

Yes they have been publicly mocking Bush while he sits beside them looking angry and humiliated for five years

cadalano · Post by **cadalano** » May 1, 2006, 11:51 am

I was more shocked than amused at the speech. I actually thought the audition clip was pretty funny, however

Animalor · Post by **Animalor** » May 1, 2006, 12:54 pm

I thought this speech really had it's moments.

I enjoyed it overall.

I got a bit tired of his shtick, but this was absolutely brilliant. Yes, people have been saying things like that for five years, but noone has ever chosen that venue to so powerfully bash the president *and* the press. I thought it was absolutely brilliant.

edit: here's someone elses words which make perfect sense to me

At a time when both seem to live in their own private worlds more than ever, they made the mistake of inviting him into their inner circle and letting him rip jokes about things that have almost every normal American pissed off. They had to sit there and listen to all the shit that we want to scream at their faces but never can and he got paid for it.

noel · Post by **noel** » May 1, 2006, 1:08 pm

I find it just depends on the day. I really like Colbert in concept, but I can't watch it daily like I do the Daily Show. Some days I love the Colbert report, other days I delete it from my Tivo.

I too thought his speech was brilliant.

Boogahz · Post by **Boogahz** » May 1, 2006, 1:19 pm

While it was nice to see/hear them all get bashed equally, it grew old quickly.

Marbus · Post by **Marbus** » May 1, 2006, 1:28 pm

I thought it was great, king kong size balls there... and no I'm not a big Colbert fan.

Dregor Thule · Post by **Dregor Thule** » May 1, 2006, 2:26 pm

That was truly hawesome. Awkwardly hilarious. And yeah, I agree, I can't take Colbert all the time, but there are certain parts of his show that are always great. When he does his profile on the different districts, always funny. His interviews are also one of the better parts of the show.

This tho, I was laughing throughout it. Was so great to watch Bush's reaction to the jokes.

Marbus · Post by **Marbus** » May 1, 2006, 2:59 pm

My question is... is this real? or one of Colbert's sketches?

I like Stephen Colbert.

I found it a tad disrespectful. It's not brilliant to be an asshole, it's just being an asshole. I would know.

On the other hand, before his schtick, Bush and a Bush impersonator did many of those same jokes and references back and forth to eachother, so it really wasn't as bold as it appeared.

Colbert has one or two absolutly knock-you-off-your-seat funny moments per show, but the rest doesn't fill out well. I like him, but I think I preferred him in smaller Daily Show doses. Still impressed by him, but liked him better in the supporting role.

Thats exactly how i feel about him as well.. Im not a big fan, but sometimes the Colbert Report has those hilarious moments. But ive found that his appearances on the Daily Show were mostly always hilarious.

I recently decided Colbert Report is better than the Daily Show.

Why be respectful towards people who deserve no respect?

Niffoni · Post by **Niffoni** » May 1, 2006, 7:54 pm

Saw the video finally.

Minor points for funneh, major points for balls.

For all the presidential lampooning, he saved his most viscious stab for the press:

"But, listen, let's review the rules. Here's how it works. The president makes decisions, he’s the decider. The press secretary announces those decisions, and you people of the press type those decisions down. Make, announce, type. Put them through a spellcheck and go home. Get to know your family again. Make love to your wife. Write that novel you've got kicking around in your head. You know the one... about the intrepid Washington reporter with the courage to stand up to the administration? You know... fiction."

Markulas · Post by **Markulas** » May 4, 2006, 9:11 pm

Colbert is unable to keep laughs at the consistency that Stewart can, however that speech was very refreshing. The words needed to be said in front of the 32 percent approval rated man. The glass isn't half empty, it's two-thirds empty.

It was good in a random chuckle kind of way up until he rolled his video. Then it was boring enough to just stop watching. Then again, I've never really found him funny. He's more annoying than anything. Sort of like Chris Rock. He's not funny. Just stupid.

Niffoni · Post by **Niffoni** » May 6, 2006, 12:49 am

yeah, the video was pretty weak. Rest was good fun though!

Fash · Post by **Fash** » May 7, 2006, 6:30 am

The video is funny for 2 reasons... one, that helen thomas is so old and slow you would have to be as moronic as colbert portrayed himself to be caught by her, and even then, you can still get away... and second, because it asked over and over and over, "why did we invade iraq?"

But I still think that once something that large is decided and underway, it should not be questioned... Victory is the only option and that's all anyone should be concerned with.

Questioning your government is wrong as long as they start a war first?

The difference is Bush isn't Hitler. America isn't Germany in the 30's and 40's. Your comparisons show your inability to use logic and common sense.

Invading countries under the guise of liberating them and imprisoning sections of the population without any trials, while believing that your culture and and philosophies are superior to everyone elses? No, that's nothing like WW2 Germany.

If that was true and not just the slanted, negative, bitter perspective of a bunch of America haters and Republican haters.......then it would be OMGIAMRETARDEDCAUSEALOTISTWOWORDS like WW2 Germany, minus the death camps and hate speeches.

Sometimes you bit the bullet and pay respect to the office rather than the individual, then exercise your right to vote them out.

I think very little of any President since Eisenhower, and he was not perfect by any stretch of the imagination, but I would not be openly spiteful to their face. However if I were Colbert and having been invited it was exactly what I would have done. They knew who he was when they booked him, they wanted a monkee and they got one who threw shit at them.
