Stephen Colbert was obviously impressed by Glenn Beck's new "War Room" routine in which he games out various possible apocalyptic scenarios.

So he went one better, of course: the "Doom Bunker," with lots and lots of fog that apparently rises from the vicinity of Colbert's rear quarters. Or something like that.

Beck, FWIW, saw this too, and tried to respond on his show last night but evidently ran out of time. Last we saw of the Beckster, he was waving a jar of soybeans and vowing he would laugh all the way to the soybean bank. His producers cut him off, though.

No one deals with Beck better than Colbert does. I saw Beck's show that Colbert is ribbing here. Colbert did not over state it at all. Beck spends the whole show thinking of the worst things possible, then says he isn't saying these sorts of things will happen but we should begin getting prepared in case they do.

...is always a crapshoot. Half of the time these fucking things won't even play.

Why? WHYYYY? Why must I ALWAYS fall asleep before TCR comes on?

Get up the next morning and watch the daily show and colbert on the comedy channel beginning at 10:00am. That's what I do.

I'm working at that time...

You can watch the full episode on www.comedycentral.com or watch the repeat in the evening @ 8:30p...I can never stay awake to watch him either.

Or you can go to a TV streaming site like Hulu and watch the past week's episodes. There are commercials, but it's all official, so you get good quality. That's how I watch TDS and TCR.

I understand why Phaux loves the guy. He gets bug eyed and goes ballistic at the drop of a hat....anybody's hat.

But you have to wonder what part of some tiny demographic Phaux thinks this is helping them with? Ad revenue? Hardly...eventually he'll say something that'll get an advertizer boycott going real good.

Maybe they just like portraying teh nutz as normal....Sometimes, it's hard to parody something that's already so far gone.

I loved his worst possible scenario...

"Barack Obama Succeeds!"

)O(

Has Colbert been to Colbert's BBQ?

It's one of the biggest chains in Texas.

laughed my ass off

I sincerely and with all my heart thank God for Stephen Colbert...I just love him, love him, love him!! I agree w/VegasRage--it really WAS one of his best segments! Loved the guests playing along as well--pure genius!

....until Beck is homeless & trying to wash my windshield to make enough for a beer. Why the hell is he on TV?!

... the First Amendment (for most of us, anyway) precludes lining the criminally insane fearmongers like Beck up against the wall.

Which means he can be used to sell Rupert Murdoch's corporate empire.

When your audience is comprised of a bunch of insane racist bastards, it's not a tribute to your superior political insight, it's a testimony to the fact that a bunch of insane racist bastards think you're one of them.

Nicely put ;)

Here's a costume for Colbert to wear in his next Doom Report:

I saw the Glenn Beck piece and was fascinated in a disgusted way that he didn't realize what a complete and utter jackass loon he was looking like. Seeing the Colbert rip piece cracked me up completely and nailed Beck in every way that I was perceiving it. Especially when Colbert would ask his guests, "This is an impossible scenario right? This could never happen right?" That's exactly what I was thinking watching Beck's insanity. Hell, give me a show, I'll be glad to lay out situations that will never fucking happen in this country and get paid for it. How about, the year is 2022, the sun has turned green and our bodies have mutated to feed off of pavement. Men have grown a third nipple. The money system has been replaced with exchanging fingernail clippings and America is the largest producer of 'taint' scented candles. What if America?

You know, there are already a lot of men with a third nipple........

)O(

Krusty the Klown?

I don't remember the Irish Spring commercials being that "strong". Could double for today's Viagra commercials.

reminds me of Al Franken at a pro-life fundraiser 10 years ago. He was asking people if they had ever had a homo-erotic dream. One of them asked, "What is homo-erotic?" Al Franken replied "Mark Spitz riding horseback on a beach."

Glenn Beck, being a former coke addicted morning shock jock, thinks he is a funny guy. I predict he will go after Cobert......much to the shock and dismay of his producers. It will be so much fun to see Beck fall on his face.

Getting back to is just more crap on the walls for all of us to sift through. You know how they do the old MSNBC thing trying to how wrong they are and how unpopular MSNBC is. It's just more caca for most of us to sift through and our minds are still full of.

The bottom line is that the more you listen to FAUX news, or pay any attention to what they say, you better wear boots.

Beck thinks he is funny, thus he will try to be FUNNY! And I consider myself a man of strength, I think I can handle watching Fox News. Don't worry they won't get me to join their mailing list. Thanks for the concern.

But I am in the autumn of my years and want to keep the the septic tanks clean up on my property.

But you should consider boots though!

it kills me how he ALWAYS asks his guests to "tell me if I'm wrong, and I really hope that I am...blah blah" when he REALLY means "tell me I'm right and that I'm the most amazing thing on TV/radio"! What a weener!!

Speaking of doom bunkers, if anyone has ever seen the movie Downfall, there are a series of parody videos where they show Hitler in his bunker during the final hours. They change the sub titles to match a current event.

This one is about the McCain, Palin campaign. They have another about real estate.

Very clever stuff.

I would say Colbert is a comedy genius, but the lunatic fringe makes it too easy. Still, I laughed my ass off - especially the payoff "What if Obama Succeeds? It's 'gun in the mouth time' for you, isnt' it?" Too funny!

comes on at 12:30PM in my neck 'o the woods..
I stay up and watch anyway.
Being a zombie the next morning is still worth moments like that one...

Well said, Dr. Toxic! And, the last "doom scenerio" of "What if Obama Succeeds" was just icing on an already very sweet cake! I was thankful for the confirmation from Colbert (and all of the bloggers here) that I wasn't the only one who thinks Beck is a dangerous schezoid (sp!) who is about as informed on issues as my dog!

The very elderly who hang onto every word from these freaks (so long as their hearing aid batteries hold out or the TV Remote volume control is cranked up) and who are being sh*t-scared out of their minds in the same way the TV preachers used to do during the Cold War.

Every time I go home to see the Old Man and visit some of his friends who are in as bad a shape as he is (I do all manner of small jobs for them, as they're too broken down and poor to do it themselves or hire someone) and they all, every one of them, have FAUX Nooz cranked to the max, mesmerized.

The OM always asks me (forgetting he's asked me numerous times before) if I watch OhReally and company, or listen to "Ruuuuush" and I try to explain how corporations want to blanket airwaves with their own brand of propaganda, and that these jokers are but pawns and mouthpieces of those corporations, and the eyes glaze over.

The "Greatest Generation", that never got the idea that "Archie Bunker" was satire and was not actually being lionized but ridiculed, have now sought out FAUX as being their rescue buoy in a sea they don't understand.

They've, to a man and woman, never read a blog, because they can't even figure out how to turn on a computer (if they own one) much less navigate the Web, so they take what's being said about blogs by these foaming cretins as being Gospel.

Sadly, we, today, have a 'Lost Generation', adrift in an ocean of foul propaganda and corporately controlled media, who can and do still vote as the damnable neocons want them to. Their pensions have been raided and what's left been devalued by the very people they trusted...and whom they still trust. They face penury and worse, and still they hold the mouthpieces for the thieves who stole them blind in high regard. So sad.

"The "Greatest Generation", that never got the idea that "Archie Bunker" was satire and was not actually being lionized but ridiculed, have now sought out FAUX as being their rescue buoy in a sea they don't understand."

Bingo!

It is a very strange thing to observe - how so many people get hypnotized by the manipulative circus of paranoia and fear being pumped out of the corporate empire.

Thank you!

"We're not firing on our own people."

Oh really? Ever heard of Kent State University?

was to get them used to killing on command, anyone whom their leaders said to shoot.

No shit.

Surely Optimus Prime will save us!

Optimus Prime, maybe. But Iron Man would kick all their asses :-)

..walking the streets with a sign that sez', "The end is near!".
That or "Squeegee-Man".
Glenn Beck = Idiot

I’m sure that once Glenn Beck finishes chewing through the straps of his straight jacket, he’ll rush right out and locate the proof for all the nonsense he’s been spouting.

Here are some songs for the END-
Apocoalypse theme songs...
Enjoy-grab your special someone and watch everything go up in flames-hee

Happy TGIF

Little chicken shit scaredy-cats fearing the worst. "The sky is falling".....Fearful chicken littles. Turns out these "tough" conservatives propping up multi ton warships for defense; and wielding their arms; are just chicken littles.

Stephen is my hero

I am starting to think that Beck is actually playing off the attention he's getting from Colbert and Stewart and deliberately going off the edge. His show is getting more attention by doing so. And he's so devoid of values that it does not matter to him that he's becoming a self-parody.

I watched that last night IRL and screamed with laughter. When Stephen told the guy "You're no fun" I totally lost it. LOL!

lol! That was some funny stuff. Beck is a super nutball.

Colbert's sheer genius? This is some infernal stuff here.

LOL

Maybe the funniest Colbert bit ever.

El Kañsas in Newer Mexico... the Koala Pox... JIMMY MORE FOG!!

Crazy.

I hope the lunatic Beck was watching.

This is great! One of his funniest spoofs ever! Like waterboarding said, I hope GB watches these!

The people voted for Obama. Obama won. So let's scare the sh*t out of them and/or incite violence!

F'n Morons.

SC's Doom Bunker had me on the floor!

Where were you when I was growing up in Raygun's 1980s? I could've used a guy like you.

Thank God young people with brains have a sane rebuttal to all these fear mongers. God Bless you, Stephen. You make the world a better, saner, safer place with your satire.

First off Gerald Celente is a serious person, he has been right practially 90+ percent of the time. PEople will not be laughing very long..Beck is a douche yes but most of what he is saying on this program is mostly true. THe only question I have is why truth is on foX?

Gerald Celente is a serious man, his trends journal is over 95 percent right. People should listen because they will not be laughing soon.

That being said why is Beck telling the truth? He is an idiot, why is Fox new of all places telling some truth? Are they desperate?

and so is Olbermann, but what we need is something that'll take Beck's ratings down a notch or two. That is, we need somebody to run something at Beck's timeslot that'll be attractive enough to his audience to pull them away. Of course, we're talking big-titted women in trucks running over things. What sort of things would Beck's audience like to see big-titted women running over in trucks? Sure, they'd like to see big-titted women running over other big-titted women, that's a given. But what else?
