A quick tutorial for the Colbert-impaired MSM on what's funny.

[AnarchoFreeThinker]

FUNNY: "...that means 68% of the people approve of the job the president ISN'T doing."

NOT FUNNY: BANGING THE WAR DRUM HARD AND LOUD UNTIL 100,000 IRAQIS ARE DEAD, AND COUNTING, OVER 2,000 US TROOPS ARE DEAD, AND COUNTING, 10,000 US TROOPS ARE WOUNDED, AND COUNTING, AND A NATION IS TORN APART--ALL ON FALSE PRETENSES

FUNNY: "...and we all know reality has a liberal bias."



Hope this helps.

1. NOT FUNNY: Rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic.

FUNNY: Rearranging deck chairs on the Hindenburg.

2. Also not funny:

Pretending to look for weapons of mass destruction during the same event last year.

4. Funny: Being so thrilled to be with Dubya that asking someone to pinch...

...you is insufficient so you ask someone to shoot you in the face instead.

[ClintonTyree]

3. That had to be one of his best lines all night.....

the, "we all know reality has a Liberal bias" one. I almost peed my pants when he said that! :rofl:

6. It had truthiness...

...when I looked it up with my gut.

5. I loved his mock of Scalia

Giving him the Italian 'finger' was great!
Scalia got the joke. . . which is about all he gets!!

7. "Scalia got the joke. . . which is about all he gets!!"

Actually, he also gets gout.

13. Yes

Scalia had a sense of humor about it.
I personally thought I was gonna die laughing during the Helen Thomas video. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

8. Not funny; MSM reporting WH talking points

Funny TURD BLOSSOM {aka Rove} being indicted.

9. That's hillarious!

I don't even care that it is bad for the country that old Kripy Kreme Face might be corropt because it is so clear that he and everyone around him are not only willing to sell out the country, they have it on ebay.

10. I don't know what the top award is for comedians,

but Colbert has my vote. I find him to be hilarious.

11. His "spell checkers" insult was LOL! My ribs still ache.

I'm still chuckling to myself today over his barbs.

They know it was funny as hell- that is why they wont show it- they know over 60% plus of viewers would find it funny and TRUE.

[Deep13]

12. So would the 68% who approve of what Bush is not doing.

[Dr Fate]

14. Times were great,...as far as we knew. ;)

15. Is it possible?

Is it possible that Stephen was intentionally being seriously honest more so than he was trying to be funny? Especially pertaining to the Chimp's photo ops standing on the deck of the aircraft carrier, and the 9/11 rubble. I not only think Colbert's a genius who was saying what he honestly thinks, but he had the guts to do it to their face.
