The Colbert Report

That man's mustache was epic.

I was listening to the radio and heard Colbert read a Ray Bradbury story on Symphony Space. It was kind of cool.

i liked his animal hormone doping skit, when he Oh, Crap! at the redskins mascot.

butwouldn't Notre Dames team dope w/ Leprechaun hormones?

Something about Scientology makes it a never ending fountain of comedy.

Miscaviaciage (I don't care how his name is spelled) scares me.

Yeah, I would actually go as far as comparing Miscavige to Caligula. I know he's probably petty enough to sue me for this, but seriously, fuck you Miscavige.

The bit Stephen did last night on Stacey Campfield was both hilarious and, frankly, frightening. And his Take That! at Sarah Palin was epic.

However, knowing Palin, she will suddenly be in the news shortly...

The fact that the former Scientology leader sent Colbert a watermelon with a knife stuck in it and a note saying "You!" is almost too insane to believe. Downright surreal. Watching that, I don't think I've ever felt more deeply immersed in The Tyson Zone.

It's as true as anything else he has said.

The Marco Rubio segment where ABC tried to translate his Spanish speech was hilarious, so much I almost woke my dad by accident, I was laughing so hard.

Agreed. One of Colbert's best bits in a long time, and he didn't even have to make the jokes.

I am just going to watch that again later today.

Marco Rubio should speak Spanish more often and have ABC "translate" it...

The segment where Colbert parodied Rubio's inability to stop squirming was awkwardly hilarious.

ABC's "subtitles" of Rubio's Spanish version of the speech reminded me of You Tube subtitles.

Holy crap. I think Colbert might've revealed his real feelings on the banks when he said anywhere else people would "line them up and shoot them." He almost seemed disappointed that it doesn't happen in the US.

I too am disappointed that it didn't happen in the U.S. Colbert's persona is deliberately constructed to make liberal points while appearing superficially to make conservative points.

The joke was, "How awesome is it to live in a country where bankers who commit abuses on the scale of those that led up to the housing crisis get to remain free and keep all their money, rather than being shot? Go America!"

Yeah. But he just sounded a lot more bitter than he usually does when delivering those lines. Normally, he'd deliver a line like that with a smile. This time, he delivered it with a look and tone of resignation.

Agreed. He can't always keep up the facade.

I liked that he criticized the banks. You guys are right, he was definitely a bit more serious about them than he is with other topics.

I want that car.

A $1.2 million car that you can't legally drive? I agree with Stephen on that one... it seems kind of pointless. Even though it would be cool to own one.

I guess if it wasn't before, using the phrase "jimmy rustling" is officially dead.

Stephen's voice sounds really bad.

One of my favorite parts of this week was during the Sport Report when he was talking about football injuries and said that he played football as a kid, and he's "purply spatula."

"Wreck-It Ralph was robbed."

Fuck yeah.

Does James Franco get high before every public appearance?

My mom thought he was wasted, too.
