Holy. Shit. Obama buring the constitution... Obama trodding on the constitution... Trump being portrayed as some sort of patriotic hero... And to top it all off, the artist bragging about support from Sean Hannity (with selfie yet!), Alex Jones, and other Alt-Reich motherf***ers... I could only stomach a few clicks through that shit show, but I'd imagine he's got to have Christ wearing a swastika in there somewhere...

Colbert is a hack who just isnt funny, and he takes cheap shots at people for cheap audience laughs, which really annoys me. Re-runs of Carson with his worst guests are 100% more entertaining than Colbert is. I think Colbert is the biggest hack employed by a TV network. His big thing is taking cheap shots at people to get a cheap laugh from his studio audience. You do THAT when you cant get a laugh any other way. HACK!

Colbert is a hack who just isnt funny, and he takes cheap shots at people for cheap audience laughs, which really annoys me. Re-runs of Carson with his worst guests are 100% more entertaining than Colbert is. I think Colbert is great. Very talented and educated being. To be honest, I like most of the talk show guys, I think they have come a long way with their ability to adapt their talents. Fallon, Corden, Kimmel, are all entertaining for me. Well, if you like them, that is great. Personally, I think that none of them even comes close to the sheer talent level of Carson, Letterman, or Leno. I think Colbert is extremely talented and surprised me how well he did in the new format, even before recent events. But no one is on the same level as Carson or Letterman. I wouldn't even put Leno that close - he's a great stand up, but not the same level as host. I think Colbert is the biggest hack employed by a TV network. His big thing is taking cheap shots at people to get a cheap laugh from his studio audience. You do THAT when you cant get a laugh any other way. HACK! I think we all get your point. Perhaps it's time to move on to another subject/thread. dan c I think Colbert is the biggest hack employed by a TV network.

I have a feeling that you aren’t on board with his monologue subject matter. Therefore you don’t like him. He's not funny to me at all. I can't recall ever laughing at one of his usually mean-spirited 'jokes'. It's usually at someone else's expense, which is just not funny to me. Can Otlset or Stereoguy at least give some specifics about why Colbert is so bad and his jokes are so mean-spirited and cheap? I wouldn't go in to a Beatles thread and just state a contrary opinion without at least kinda trying to make a persuasive argument or try to add some thought-out counterpoint. Johnny Carson took cheap shots at Reagan, Quayle, etc. Colbert is winning the ratings so obviously a lot of people do find him funny.

It was therapeutic in a way, and brought people together.

It's not a comedian's (or entertainer's) job to bring people together. That is (or should be) the job of our political leaders. I liked Carson. As far as I know he never even approached the nastiness of Colbert's 'humor', which includes such gems as “The only thing your mouth is good for is being Vladimir Putin’s c—k holster.” line he threw out recently. I liked Carson.

"It takes one to know one" I suppose. I liked Carson. As far as I know he never even approached the nastiness of Colbert's 'humor', which includes such gems as “The only thing your mouth is good for is being Vladimir Putin’s c—k holster.” line he threw out recently. I agree that joke crossed a line, but I don't think it's representative of Colbert's work as a whole. And to some degree it's representative of the times we live in, in which civility in politics has become a thing of the past. I find it ironic that people are concerned about mean spiritedness from comedians, given the incivility, rudeness, and sometimes downright vulgarity of comments that are being made by some political leaders. +1 I support his freedom of speech, but I'll use mine to say how much I despise him.

Colbert and his ilk (his ilk being pretty much every late night talk show host.......as if they all read from the same script), help nothing and if fact serve only to divide people. So it's because his monologue subject matter you don't agree with, and therefore you don't like Colbert. I think his agenda is Quite Clear. Understandable. If he was constantly tearing apart a situation I was in favor of, I'd be inclined to not watch him as well. Like certain news organizations. He's not funny to me at all. I can't recall ever laughing at one of his usually mean-spirited 'jokes'. It's usually at someone else's expense, which is just not funny to me. Thanks Otlset: That was precisely my point. Thats how Colbert gets his yucks. As noted, if you think Carson never made any mean-spirited jokes at someone else's expense, you haven't watched much Carson. It's not a comedian's (or entertainer's) job to bring people together. That is (or should be) the job of our political leaders. I watched Carson for 25 years; almost every night. The difference? Carson had Class. Carson never went ANYWHERE near this far . Quote Colbert: "The only thing your mouth is good for is being Vladimir Putin’s c—k holster.” Thats a perfect example of Colberts cheap shot style. He disgusts me. You like him? Fine....you can have him! Can Otlset or Stereoguy at least give some specifics about why Colbert is so bad and his jokes are so mean-spirited and cheap? I wouldn't go in to a Beatles thread and just state a contrary opinion without at least kinda trying to make a persuasive argument or try to add some thought-out counterpoint. Johnny Carson took cheap shots at Reagan, Quayle, etc. Colbert is winning the ratings so obviously a lot of people do find him funny. Sure, Carson took some mildly cheap shots at certain people, but he knew where the line was. Colbert thinks the line doesnt apply to him. And Carson never went anywhere near as far as Colbert does. See my post #882 Sure, Carson took some mildly cheap shots at certain people, but he knew where the line was. Colbert thinks the line doesnt apply to him. And Carson never went anywhere near as far as Colbert does. See my post #882 His subject matter is much more vulgar and absurd than anything Carson had to work with in his era. Actually, it isnt. The Exact Same subject matter was there in 1962-1993. Carsons writers knew how far to push it because Carson TOLD them how far they could push it. You see, Carson had some class. Even when he talked about his arrest for driving drunk, he did it with class. When guests showed up drunk off their faces, Johnny saved them with empathy. He'd ask them easy questions that they could handle drunk. He had some class. When Regan was running, the outrage from the left was just as bad as what you see today. The difference was that THEN, the press reported things fairly, and on both sides. Journalists were just that, and not propaganda artists. And to some degree it's representative of the times we live in, in which civility in politics has become a thing of the past. Although the internet has given voice to more extreme (and LOUD) opinions across the board, in Presidential politics, things were (relatively) civil until the last election. In both the Republican primary and the general election, there was one specific candidate who drove us down that road. All other candidates were relatively polite and dignified, unless having to defend themselves from the one candidate. I think this is an anomaly, and things will go back to relative civility between the candidates, after the current cycle is over. I don't think this is a political post that needs to be deleted, either. It's simply stating an observation about how we arrived where we are culturally. watched Carson for 25 years; almost every night. The difference? Carson had Class. Carson never went ANYWHERE near this far . Quote Colbert: "The only thing your mouth is good for is being Vladimir Putin’s c—k holster.” Thats a perfect example of Colberts cheap shot style. He disgusts me. You like him? Fine....you can have him! As I said upthread, I do not think that's a representative example of Colbert's humor. It's an exception, and I do think he crossed the line that one time. But I'm not aware of any other jokes he's told of that nature. Actually, it isnt. The Exact Same subject matter was there in 1962-1993. Carsons writers knew how far to push it because Carson TOLD them how far they could push it. The subject matter is not the same, because in Carson's time there were no elected officials who publicly insulted opponents, media members, and private citizens, often in crude and vulgar terms, as there are now. As I said before, it puzzles me that people are offended by mean-spiritedness from entertainers, when they are merely mirroring the behavior displayed by some political leaders. Who should be held to a higher standard of behavior... elected officials or late-night comedians? Exactly.If Nixon or Carter,Reagan,etc... mocked the handicapped and POW's and said Nazi's were very fine people I'm sure it would be fertile ground for late night comedy nomatter what the era was. The key difference is that almost all of the Nixon comments cited there were made in private conversations, not intended to be on the record or heard by the general public. Whereas now we have politicians who publicly say such things, either in speeches, interviews, or via social media. Besides Nixons quotes, you seem to conveniently fail to mention the Democrat politicians who screamed viscous attacks about Ronald Regan in 1967 when he ran for Governor of California, because he was an actor, and a staunch republican, and he couldnt POSSIBLY be an effective Governor, and what right did an actor have running for that office. Questioning someone's qualifications for office is far different than personally insulting their appearance, calling them names, and/or making vulgar comments in the manner that happens today. I obviously can't give you examples because it will get this thread shut down, but if you can't see a difference in the tenor of the insults and attacks being tossed around by politicians today compared to the past, I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree. The trouble is, this has ALL happened before. You just dont seem to know your history on the subject: www.usnews.com/news/article...rys-most-brutal-presidential-campaign-attacksThere are Hundreds more like this. Many politicians in Public have insulted their opponents appearance, their wives, their mode of dress, sometimes a physical handicap , and have even exposed extra marital affairs . You think the current situation is anything new? It aint. And you need to learn the difference between on and off the record, and public and private statements. Certainly, those kind of comments have always gone on in private. The fact that they are now intentionally inserted into public discourse (in speeches, social media postings, et al) is what is different. The human capacity to be outraged by optional entertainment will never cease to amaze me. And you need to learn the difference between on and off the record, and public and private statements. Certainly, those kind of comments have always gone on in private. The fact that they are now intentionally inserted into public discourse (in speeches, social media postings, et al) is what is different. There were PLENTY that were done in interviews, and part of the public record. Your argument that its only ever happened in private simply isnt true. Look up Regan running for Gov of CA in 1967. It was viscous. Here in NY, Mayor Lindsay was called names in public by other politicians that would make a construction worker blush.

This stereoguy is a real gem. How come guys like this can never just admit that they're not bothered by what's said but who it's said about?
Just say 'I'm a Trumptard and I get extremely asshurt when people talk about what a scumbag he is.'
