I think its about time introduce some of my favourite comedians starting with Stephen Colbert. The wikpedia page is surprisingly comprehensive so I shall not delve too much. While I enjoyed his segments on The Daily Show, I think in his spin-off, The Colbert Report, he took it up a notch, playing a loud, abrasive anchorman very much in the mould of ‘Papa bear’ O Reilly – an angry right-wing news anchor. His crowning moment had to be the his satirical speech condemning the President at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, where he showed so much balls to make the speech standing next to a seated Bush.
Playing his part in propagating the spirit of Web 2.0, he issued a ‘green screen challenge’, and had viewers send in edited versions of him prancing around wielding a blue lightsaber in front of a green screen. This is one of my favourites.
But the fun doesn’t stop there! Unfortunately, this year John McCain made several speeches in front of a green backdrop, and it was almost inevitable that Colbert would start the next green screen challenge – but this time, it was to ‘make McCain exciting’, with him being a somewhat average orator, he needed help.
And you can see the rest of McCain videos here.
Finally, a parody of his cemented its place in the video game ‘Rock Band‘ with this hilarious synthesizer-heavy stalker-ballad!
