webnarc Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 I think Stephen Colbert isn't getting enough credit for creating news trends. In the short while that the show has been on, he has fathered "truthiness", outlined the administrations exit stratagy for Iraq (if a civil war breaks out the US has to leave), and one of his guests raised the questions "who desided that Jesus was a republican?" Not that any of these things matter, it's just cool to see how he blurrs the line between fake news real news. Anyone else learning anything from the show?

iheartskins Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 Anyone else learning anything from the show? That Colbert has a weird right ear. It's a good show though, but can be a little pedantic and smarmy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BG Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 Funny as alll hell! I love the show. Watch all the time. The big board is great. "On notice" and "Dead to me." Much better than the Daily Show imo... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Sassy Molassy Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 I love his show and the Daily show. Those guys are brilliant. Did you watch the episode last night? He had her say in Spanish that she took money from some campaign (or something like that), then he proceeded to ask her why she did it. And the lady was like, "I didn't take any money, you just asked me to say it in Spanish for you!" Colbert, "Just because you said it in Spanish doesn't mean you didn't take money.". It's tough sometimes though, those two shows compete with my Adult Swim time, luckily I've seen most of the Family Guy and Futurama episodes, so it makes my decision a little easier.

PleaseBlitz Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 That Colbert has a weird right ear.It's a good show though, but can be a little pedantic and smarmy. I dont know what pedantic or smarmy means. You New Yorkers and your "vocabulary." :doh: I think Colbert is one of the funniest people on TV. I have a season pass on my TiVo programmed for it. His hatred of Bears, The Threatdown, and his Notice Board are all great bits. http://www.comedycentral.com/shows/the_colbert_report/videos/notice/index.jhtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DjTj Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 I don't know if I'm learning anything, but I think Colbert is hilarious. "The Word" has taken fake news to an entirely different level. I also like how he does sports shows every once in a while. The interviews can be hit or miss, but I'm really amazed at how well the show really works. Between reading the Tailgate, watching the Daily Show, and the Colbert Report, I can stay well-informed about what's going on in the world, and most importantly, what's funny about it.

TK Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 The WORD segment cracks me up every night. Even in re-runs. The Rainbow wig lead in from the Daily Show last night was just effing classic. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destino Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 It's great to see humor in politics which is something that has been sorely missing these days. The Daily Show and the Colbert Report combine to make one of the funniest hours on TV. Did anyone catch Colberts rant about the US baseball team losing to Canada? It was classic!
