Members Slaymoar Posted September 25, 2010 Members Share Posted September 25, 2010 About this: [YOUTUBE]ewPburLEZyY[/YOUTUBE] Doesn't this speech seem kinda crappy? He had such potential, its not like he's gonna get to do this again.. well not very likely anyways. There were a few lulz potentials, but it just seems like it wasn't his best material - i thought he would write something with a bit more comedic balls to it - something that actually required a little thinking to write?

Members Johnny Two Tone Posted September 25, 2010 Members Share Posted September 25, 2010 Phfft, {censored} all you guys. Colbert is smart, witty, funny and carries a comedic character better than anyone else on T.V. Hate for him, on this forum, would not be a surprise considering the sheer volume of conservatives on this board and the fact that Colbert nut stomps Republicans night after night. What do you want a guy to say as he's sarcastically sucker punching dumb ass 'anti-immigrant-worker' politicians. His points all make sense, in five minutes or less. Colbert may not be as poignant as Jon Stewart but he's consistently funny and satirically biting, while maintaining a moderate sensibility - something I have NEVER seen from any right-leaning entertainment personality. So, my question is: Why is he a douche? Why f**k him? Answer one of those questions or shut the f**k up. EDIT: Oh, dias. You want comedic balls? Watch Colbert speech at the Press Association dinner (or whatever it's officially called) that had President Bush in attendance. Colbert gained God like status after that... from anyone who wasn't a Bush d**k liker at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Kenny Powers Posted September 25, 2010 Members Share Posted September 25, 2010 First of all you are late to the party as always. Second of all, I am a conservative right winger and found his speech, while a joke, really brought some sense that neither side has fully expressed, and it did bring the lulz. Best quote ever "my great grandfather did not travel 4,000 miles across the Atlantic ocean to see this country overrun with immigrants. He did it because he killed a man back in Ireland" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Hapless Posted September 25, 2010 Members Share Posted September 25, 2010 Dude... that was pretty {censored}ing funny. I'm sorry. It's lazy humor. Almost as bad as something you'd see on a bumper sticker. Meh. And in satirizing what he views as the conservative viewpoint, his point compares apples to oranges. If it were true that his great-grandfather came over from Ireland, he probably came over LEGALLY, passing through Ellis Island, or whatever. Entirely different from ILLEGAL immigration and it's associated problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To say those you named aren't funny is just cheating yourself. Wasn't a big Clay fan though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole thing seems less funny because there is no laugh track/studio audience, and its not a place for comedy anyways. You can see some of the people trying not to crack up though.

But then you saw him in his next sketch, and later on, movie, and it was the same thig. Over and over. And over. And over. Very one dimensional.
