Colbert Issues John McCain 'Green Screen Challenge'
By SilentPatriot Thursday Jun 12, 2008 12:40pm
Stephen Colbert's first "green screen challenge" back in 2006 was so successful, he's decided to issue another one to the citizens of Colbert Nation. This time around, Stephen is asking his viewers to turn their creative sights on John McCain and his horrendously boring speech earlier this month in front of that now-infamous lime green screen. Enjoy!

Best Of!
Wow, there are some really talented kids out there. I Love the last one where McGreen keeps popping up everywhere .... "He's That old"
Hillarious.
McCain is doomed. LOL :)
(I wish.)
damn i love colbert
McLuvin the green screen challenge!
The third one was a keeper.....big time!
Okay, here we go. I heart Colbert!
brilliant. its only june and this mans candidacy reveals itself to be the joke it is intended to be.
Watching McCain making his speeches is weird. He basically bashes Obama, and says little else. And just think not to long ago, the Repugs were ready to run him a of town on a rail when he threw his support for illegals. Hypocrisy, no?
Only way to make him look alive is to super impose him on the Concentration camp aftermath films...
I wonder what this guy is like in his everyday life. I wonder if you can turn funny off and on, or if someone like Colbert sees funny in almost everything? Whatever, he's the funniest guy on tv as far as I'm concerned.
It just looks....painful to be John McCain.
I also think he is an angry, hot-headed fool. No wonder he looks so strange when he grins; it doesn't come naturally anymore. I keep saying it: his grin looks like the agonizing raising of a rusty drawbridge.
Someone should post a link to a site that will explain how to do this.
Bring back the GREEN SCREEN (barf).

Someone must have told McCain to try not to do the smile thing so much. Today CNN was covering a town hall meeting with him and he didn't smile the whole time they covered his speech, except once when the group boo-ed Senator Obama.
If he doesn't smile he looks as board as his audience is, but at least he doesn't scare the children.

Do you remember Colbert when he was a regular on the Daily Show? Here's a clip of Stephen on June 13, 2001.

Is there anywhere we can make the suggestion to McCain that he make the green backdrop his hallmark, sort of like the yellow pantsuit?
Too funny... The Colbert report at its best.
omg, i think i just swallowed my tongue laughing too hard.
mccain is the best thing to happen to us since forever.
i think if we had to live fhru 4 years of mccain and this kind of stuff there would be a steep rise in "faitalities by laughter".
pissed off patricia @ 14:
So he's damned if he does and he's damned if he doesn't...
Damn it, pop, I am not going to feel sympathy for this man! You can't make me!
:)
I am boggled, on a daily basis, that McCane even has a chance. In a sane world Obama and McCain should be separated by about 105 percentage points. But then again, I laughed when The Chimp won the nomination in 2000 and stood aghast in 2004 that he gathered enough votes to be able to make the theft of that election look legit. So it goes...
pissed off patricia @ 14:
no, he still scares the children. or... at least he still scares me. baked bean teeth and all.
i do pity mccain, he was cast for the role of the tough guy/no nonsense/your-children-are-going-to-be-killed candidate. and, now, trying to reverse course quickly, his campaign dabbled with trying to present the younger and hipper mccain, like creed on the office (if you saw the 'yo, bra, this thing have red bull?' episode). that was an abysmal failure. so we are back to 'serious' mccain.
they don't know how to market mccain.
i am waiting to see mccain, decked out in hipster gear (tight tshirt, jeans that are too small, shaved head, beard, old mac truck hat), skate boarding across the stage, yet scowling and mongering some good ole terr'r fear. that would make my day.

Thanks for that link. I didn't even know the Daily Show had been around since 2001.
Rather than this garbage, we could contact our congress and compel them to publicly start discussing impeachment. I think that will be
much more amusing than watching sophomoric video overlays.
Bah-humbug! (I think McCain is making me grouchy.)

OOPS! Try this one instead:

SO........ i cant do the green screen thing...... so many issues, so little talent..... AND THERE ARE MANY REASONS TO LOVE JOHN "THE REPUBLICAN"
10. When John "the republican" McCain says he knows what Jesus would do... he does... they went to school together
9. When John "the republican" McCain says he understands war, he should, as a sargent in WWI he had to protect his privates
8. When John "the republican" McCain says he understands health care, he should, at 3a.m. when the phone rings he's trying to pee
7. When John "the republican" McCain says he understands education, he does, he is concerned for his great-great-great-great-granddaughter who is having a hard time in an overcrowded in high school
6. When John "the republican" McCain says he understands family values, he does, he trashed his first wife "hey who stuck me with the short old broad with the limp?"
5. When John "the republican" McCain says he can take on the economy, he can, he suggests everyone with money problems marry a wealthy heiress
4. When John "the republican" McCain says will keep Cheney around, he should, you never know when you'll need spare parts
3. When John "the republican" McCain says he understands global warming and the impending Ice Age..... aww come on.... too easy
2. When John "the republican" McCain says he is fun and lively, he is, as a child he always won when they played "rock, papyrus, arrowhead"
1. When John "the republican" McCain says he is for safety, he knows that as president he will be responsible for taking one more 40 MPH driver out of the freeway fastlane
Samson- @ 20:
Maybe they could take him to Antique Road Show and see how much he's worth and whether he's worth selling.
Bonkers, I think you just made a new Campaign Un-Slogan.
It's a Pain - to be John McCain
Sounds like bumper sticker material to me.
Bye everyone, I'm off to bed.

Sleep tight!
I suggest you guys look at the one from "Total Recall"...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t5pyc1Hjtc0
I think this one has a perfect screen-grab for C&L to use in the future.
pissed off patricia @ 28:
I'm already pretty tight (Mezcal) ... thx
Pretty good clip from Colbert.... On the idea itself??? 'Make McCain exciting'??? Hmmmm Better Call Mr. Phelps and that IMF team, cause that there idea be some mission impossible shit bro....JD
♠Bangkok-Bob♠ in Chiang Mai @ 30:
Okay, hit the pillow and we'll see ya tomorrow
McCain slowly rising from behind the Queen's desk was creepy and hilarious! "McCain... He's that old." Oh that's funny! Gotta watch that shit again!
I'm making one of these right now! I'll post it later.
Kevin Holsinger @ 29:
Brilliant!!!!
Exotic Blue Lensman @ 21:
Thanks, but i meant instructions on actually making the videos. I have no experience in this.
Kevin Holsinger @ 29:
A little much, eh? We seem to entertain ourselves more than inform anyone meaningfully with clips like that...

Basically, you're gonna need your PC, video editing software (e.g. Adobe Premier, Pinnacle Studio, etc.) and a camera. Then you just read the directions that come with your software.
I like it !
Exotic Blue Lensman @ 38:
Thank you. I guess my budget won't allow for it right now. I will look into some freeware. If i find any i will post it for others.
Forget about Obama, McSame, Barr, Nader or whoever else is running for Prez.
Write in ...'STEPHEN COLBERT' !!
Just more evidence of pending GOP doom. With the advent of You Tube and other elements that were still new as late as the 2006 mid term, nearly anyone with the skill and imagination can make a killer clip and circulate it everywhere.
I have a myspace page as a tool for music work I do in Boston by it has an international scope with a Tokyo samba singer and heavy metal Hungarians in there with Boston area musicians, a total of 543 linked friends so far.
Yesterday, for the hell of it, I checked if Obama has a myspace page. He does and it has nearly 4 million friends already. I immediately added him. Today, I checked if McOld does, nada.
The Goops are just at sea with the post TV era and spend big money on ad clips that the netroots cranks out for free and for fun.
The wingnut world is horribly crippled at www2 usages and is oblivious as to how they can absorb all its best laid smear plans, dissect its gibberish and leave it in the dust.
The funniest thing about the myspace aspect is that it is a Newscorpse property so it's own thing is undermining the efforts of its hideous broadcast 'news' division in an amazing way.
I love how even Fox News though McCain's speech was bad.

S!N had my favorite yet:
Technology is awesome.
Be sure to checkout justme's entries in the comments, there, as well.

Looks like i found one.
Nobody would have to make McCain more exciting. He just needs to talk somewhere else than the wax museum.
called it!
