cringe-inducing. that's why I love about Colbert and think his show is way better than The Daily Show. I'll take an entertaining, socially awkward character (David Brent, Ali G, Tobias Funke, Larry David, etc.) over a guy who just tells jokes.

I personally don't find Colbert funny. I've never laughed at anything he's done.
It's hard to laugh at someone else after listening to 202 all day. Everything thing else seems really fucking lame.

I just saw this. Hilarious. "You are accusing the Dalai Lama of being a potential cannibal?"
I love Stephen Colbert interviews. My favorite is when he interviewed the GA representatives who couldn't name the ten commandments.

Even the things that the 202 people find funny do nothing for you?

I find many/most things on 202 funny, but that doesn't mean I'm brainwashed into liking everything those personalities like. I'll check it out myself and make my own decision. I've never laughed out loud for Colbert. Sorry. Actually, I liked him on Strangers With Candy, but that's it.

Yeah its great how he maintains character, besides when he started teering up when obama won.

Sir Paul sounded totally different on Ron and Fez.

Tell me about it.
I didn't hear ONE mention on Colbert of him and George Harrison going to the "Shimmle Sham".

are you talking about the election show? cuz i thought that was him acting too. When he got all serious and teary eyed about the importance of Obama winning since he belonged to a people that were a looked down upon minority..and then he says "Hawaiians" and thats the joke

[hammersavage]

I thought him tearing up on Election night was a total shoot myself. It seemed pretty genuine.

but he had to be all serious and teary eyed so the joke worked, that he set up this minority winning and people were suppose to think that it was him finally breaking character and being serious....and then it turns out hes talking about Hawaiians and not black people and theres the payoff, hes still the character

[hammersavage]

Maybe you're right. Just not the vibe I got.

They both seemed to pause and take it in. Then he threw it in to remind people of the character. But for a second it was real I think.
