Steely Dan Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 http://hij.sagepub.com/cgi/content/abstract/14/2/212 Wow, that really helps ratings when your audience doubles!! I don't think Bill O'Reilly gets that Colbert is doing a sarcastic parody of him. He's been on Colbert's show before and seemed oblivious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Tom Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Unsurprising. The right's been satirizing itself so effectively for 16 years now, why would anyone think they could recognize someone else satirizing them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blzrul Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 That doesn't surprise me at all. When Colbert got away with roasting Bush (classic) I figured he was done for. I foresaw him being canceled...wingnuts running over his DVDs and tapes with steamrollers a la Dixie Chicks. But...nothing. Then I realized that a long-held belief on my part that wingnuts have ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE OF HUMOR and are COMPLETELY DIVORCED FROM REALITY...was TRUE! I won't call them stupid. I'd like to. But there are worse things than being stupid. "Stupid" might be an accident of birth. "Ignorant" might be an accident of geography or circumstance. But "clueless"? That these days seems to be the sole property of the right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gene Frenkle Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 I'm sorry, but you would have to be a complete !@#$tard to not realize that Colbert is mocking the right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chef Jim Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Getting it and finding his schtick funny are two different things. I tired of it pretty quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dean Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 http://hij.sagepub.com/cgi/content/abstract/14/2/212 This reminds me of studies that were conducted with viewers of "All in the Family", way back when. More conservative viewers thought Archie was the character to be admired, spoke the truth, etc...many Liberals thought the same about Meathead. Neither extremes picking up on the obvious, which was both characters were meant to satirize the two extremes of their characters beliefs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that is how intellectually superior people write? Actually "clueless" was the sole label applied. The others were rejected as inappropriate. If one is a big number to you, then indeed I can see why you're easy to impress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 http://hij.sagepub.com/cgi/content/abstract/14/2/212 Same with Jon Stewart and the Daily show. From what I've seen Colbert leans right, Stewart leans left. the bottom line s HUMOR. I've seen Stewart trash plenty of Democrats when they screw up too A lot of conserv's hate Stewart because he's always mocking Republicans. Hell, WHEN they make it sooooo easy what more do you expect. It took me about 20 seconds to see he was unfunny. you must be a Conservative Republican then .. Too bad for you.

BillsFan-4-Ever Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Just pick up on that Sherlock? Your Urkel /Erkel avitar gave your bias away a long time ago. And it proves the point that you have NO sense of humor. To you the only funny jokes are Democratic jokes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
