Re: ***Student Life Low Content Garbage Chatter Thread***

I like Stewart way more, probably because I agree with his political leanings more so I find it funnier when he eviscerates politicians (whereas I guess Colbert has a wider appeal beyond liberals? I wouldn't have guessed that's the case, but I guess judging by posts ITT it is)

Colbert usually has funnier material, but I'd say that Stewart is the better comedian (he gets a bunch of laughs just based on his delivery and timing).

Colbert doesn't have the audacity to take himself seriously.

Yes. Also he ran for President in 2008, so there was that.

Re: ***Student Life Low Content Garbage Chatter Thread***

That was pretty clearly a joke. When money gets involved, though, I'm not so sure.

Well he's making a political point, which he's always doing, but this still seems to be purely in the name of comedy.

Re: ***Student Life Low Content Garbage Chatter Thread***

It's satire to show how corrupt and bull**** funding for elections is. So, it's a joke that's meant to be taken seriously. Maybe we can actually get reform for this.

Nah, he just got mad about 3 posts from a gimmick account if you read those.

Then those people are giving the middle finger to campaign funding and obviously don't care about that amount of money.

That I'm not sure, it's an interesting point. It's still really difficult for me to see this as him really taking himself seriously though. The whole model of his show and what he does is very genuinely clever, so I can't help but appreciate it.

He's made a gimmick account of me and has been following me around posting as me and mimicking my avatar. I keep changing and he keeps changing to keep up. At some point it goes from harmless trolling to something more offensive. Combine that with the face that he's valueless as a poster, and...

Oh haha I always just looks at avatars so I kept thinking you posted twice ahaha


I just reread the posts and I had no idea it wasn't you LKJ. Especially the IMDb thing I thought that was a clever way in order to not watch it.
