I really doubt that he expected the crowd to laugh much at his stuff. Especially as he continued with it, the reaction grew smaller and smaller. He set out to say things that a demographic not represented in the room, us, are laughing about.
I'm really surprised that there wasn't much reported about this though. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Also, not sure if anyone else watched the Colbert Report last night, but he was making jokes about how nobody at the dinner was willing to laugh when he was on. I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
okay... I just watched the dinner... and all I have to say is ouch. Cobert, I felt, was great. His comments did exactly waht this kind of dinner was supposed to do... take digs at the president and his administration. Sadly though, it was very few laughs that came his way... and if it weren't for my wife sleeping I would have been laughing a lot louder during his speech.
So the president can come up with his own little skit that takes digs at him... but he never touched on anything that was overly "ZOMG". Cobert took it to that line that should not be crossed... and didn't just cross it he fuckin' trampled over it and gave what I feel was the best speech in many years at this event. Kudos to Cobert for having the balls to do what he did... just don't expect to be invited back next year ^_^ I was speaking idiomatically. |

I'd be the most surprised person in the coutry if they let Colbert back there ever again. I must say, though, that I was still fond of his line near the beginning that was something to the effect of "Oh, and if you need anything at your tables, just speak slowly and clearly into your table number and the NSA will bring you a cocktail." That was nice. "If anything, this administration is rearranging deck chairs on the Hindenburg" was another good one, but it still sucked that the people in the audience (for the most part) couldn't take a good joke. Oh, and the "Rocky" thing was awesome.
It's sad that the audience didn't get as big a kick out of Colbert as the rest of us did, but everybody laughs like trained animals when the President says "Nucular". What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |

I personally would be laughing very hard if someone was making jabs at me that were that funny. In fact, I have all my life, because some people really do know how to tell a good joke, and I'm a very willing butt for jokes, and some of the funniest things I've heard have been aimed at me. What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |

Isn't it a bit hypocritical for a self-declared non-profit organization such as C-SPAN to take down this footage for copyright infringement? If they don't intend to profit from their material, why do they actively protect their resources from being publically available?
That said, I totally loved Colbert's performance and even covered it in my blog (German) a few days ago. So far, the issue has not been picked up by German media - which is quite sad seeing how they didn't hesitate to report extensively on the lame Bush/Bridges speech. I was speaking idiomatically. |
#092387 |
Yeah, this echoes the American sentiment of how every major media outlet in this country also was all over the Bush/Bridges skit at the expense of Colbert's superior performance. I still have to give Mr. Bridges big props for being a very, very talented Bush impersonator. Speech patterns and typical elements of Bush's and mannerisms were very well-executed from what I saw, though the material itself was relatively stale, as opposed to Colbert's relatively fresh commentary.
What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
When Colbert would make jokes, the camera would pan the audience and they would be looking at each other in a "Should we be laughing?" or "Are we allowed to laugh at that?" kind of way.
I mean, even Bush laughed when Colbert made the joke about Cheney.

Jam it back in, in the dark. |
I never liked Jon Stewart much, Colbert is superior, in my opinion. There's nowhere I can't reach. Posting without content since 2002. |
