GREEN SCREEN CHALLENGE

Green Screen Fun With McCain’s Terrible Sp-sp-speech

Wednesday, June 18th, 2008


So that’s why McCain’s campaign put that puke-green screen behind him during his cringe-inducing performance in New Orleans the night Obama won the nomination. Now, Creepy McCain’s “little whining troll” act can be “mashed up” into endless comical variations — Stephen Colbert has encouraged this, on the teevee. Join us for a children’s treasury of crappy YouTube variations, possibly culminating with Yoda McCain surrounded by his brothers, the Ewoks, as they sing “Th-that’s n-not ch-change we can b-believe in.” MORE »

Michelle Obama: Very Hot, Pretty Funny

Wednesday, April 16th, 2008


Here is your Michelle Obama, on the Colbert Report. And, well, jesus, she is very hot. Sure, she’s also some kind of Law School Professor, and will “help people,” and all that, but this is still an entertaining clip.

Colbert Introduces Pelosi at Girly Fashion Do-Da

Tuesday, November 6th, 2007

i wanted a syrian comedian, as well as SCHIPAlthough the Demrat party hasn’t shown much love to Stephen Colbert recently, the “Doritos Candidate” will always shill for ladiesss of the lefty persuasion when it means free magazine party cocktails! Last night, for example, Stephen Colbert was tapped to introduce an honoree at Glamour’s Women of the Year Awards, and it wasn’t Inez Tenenbaum. He introduced House Speaker Nancy Pelosi with one of those funny monologue thingies he does so well. The question lingers, however: Has Colbert turned from faux-righty to faux-righty-masquerading-as-faux-mainstream-lefty? MORE »

Of Course, It Will Never End

Friday, November 2nd, 2007

ooh, professionals, we're so impressedDid you think that Stephen Colbert’s exclusion from South Carolina’s Democratic primary ballot yesterday would spell the end of his bid? Well maybe it has for Colbert, but you better believe some good-for-nothing grad students or whoever are starting the “let’s make an unofficial petition site that no one gives a shit about and will not result in any change” movement (see DraftGore.com).

Colbert Can’t Afford to Be Republican

Wednesday, October 31st, 2007

photographers, always stepping on old granniesA source close to Stephen Colbert tells CNN that the Colbert Report host will file papers tonight or Thursday to get on the South Carolina Democratic primary ballot — but not the Republican one. Although his initial plan had been to run in both parties’ primaries, making the Republican ballot costs $35,000, while the Democratic ballot costs $2,000. (The cost must be causing massive anxiety inside the McCain camp). To hear Colbert’s commentary on this, tune into an all-new Colbert Report tonight at 11:30/10:30 ET on Comedy Central! Well, we assume. MORE »

Edwards Camp Under Fire After Mock Criticizing Colbert

Tuesday, October 30th, 2007

john edwards LIVES in thisPresidential hopeful Stephen Colbert, who has declared that Doritos chips are supporting his campaign, was recently the target of populist John Edwards’ sole campaign tactic: That everyone except John Edwards takes donations from evil corporations. In response to South Carolina’s “Favorite Son” campaigning in Columbia Sunday, Edwards spokeswoman Teresa Wells tried to make a meta-funny:

“As the candidate of Doritos, [Colbert's] hands are stained by corporate corruption and nacho cheese. John Edwards has never taken a dime from taco chip lobbyists and America deserves a President who isn’t in the pocket of the snack food special interests.”

Don’t speak too soon, Wells. The manic investigative team at Radar is calling your bullshit. MORE »
