Colbert Abuses Power (1 Viewer)

[alucard]

I was watching the Colber Report (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colbert_Report) when during "The word" he commanded everyone to edit the posts on Wikipedia to say that the elephant population had tripled. I got the urge to see what this had caused in the elephant section and I believe wikipedia must be pissed. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elephant

I suppose it would be better if I could link the clip . This site has some many people that you think one of them saw the same show.

Colbert is the most funny show on tv.

 

[alucard]

The daily show is better IMO.

The daily show is better IMO.

For real. Colbert's show is crap imo. He tried to copy what Jon does and failed when it comes to hilarity. Thats just my opinion though.

Actually he was copying FOX NEWS CHANNEL.

His show is satire.

If you have never watched FOX NEWS.. then you would not get 1/2 the jokes.. so that is likely why you think Daily Show is better

Colbert's show is all a satire on Oreilly.

"For the most part the Stephen Colbert character and The Colbert Report are direct parodies of Bill O'Reilly and his The O'Reilly Factor. New episodes of The Colbert Report are scheduled in the same time slot as rebroadcasts of The O'Reilly Factor while Colbert rebroadcasts are scheduled during new O'Reilly shows. [1]

Colbert frequently refers to O'Reilly as his mentor and calls him "Papa Bear" in an endearing manner — a nickname with an ironic double-meaning, as Colbert frequently states that he considers bears to be the number-one threat to the national security of the United States today.

When O'Reilly appeared on The Daily Show before the second episode of The Colbert Report aired, he began by commenting on the Report: "Before we get started, somebody told me walking in here, you got some French guy on after you making fun of me?" In a subsequent Newsweek interview, O'Reilly said that he "feels it's a compliment" to have Colbert parody him because Colbert "isn't mean spirited" and does not "use [his] platform to injure people."[7] In an open reply on-air, Colbert later said: "I like you too. In fact, if it wasn't for you, this show wouldn't exist." In another episode, Colbert said that imitation is a sincere form of flattery, and adds he is "flattered by Bill O'Reilly's imitation" of him."

Colbert is at his best durnig "The Word," but I always feel bad for his guests who are trying to be serious.
