Steve Colbert of ‘Comedy Central’ and host of ‘Colbert’s Report’ performed recently at White House Correspondents Dinner.
No problem with the performance, you understand. It was good for at least few chuckles, or quite a few, depending how one feels about it.
What I wish to pit is the sudden attention to Colbert’s balls, that sprang overnight and spread like virtual wildfire across this nation.
The best I was able to ascertain, the whole thing was started by Jon Stewart, who called Colbert’s skit ‘balls-a-liscious’. Well, I’m not surprised to get a confimation that those perverts on ‘Comedy Central’ size up and polish each other private parts all the time. So, yes, no surprise was there. But then the whole left-addled part of the US went, well, nuts.
Everywhere you turn, can’t help but hear about Colbert’s balls. Steve’s balls this, balls that, balls made of this or that… enough already!
Disaster is looming. Colbert’s balls has been now massaged so they expanded to the size of Jupiter and polished so they blind the Sun. Stop!!! Take pity of poor man! For you it is an idle folly, but the man Steve has to live with the consequences.
Iskander, you not only eat stupid food for breakfast, you follow it up with stupid pills, then wander over to the idiot gym and smash yourself in the head with the weights.
As I noted in the other thread, you dope, Colbert’s character on the Colbert Report has kind of an obsession with talking about his balls. That’s why you saw so many references to “balls” in that thread.
You’ve once again made an ass of yourself. And to do it after you’d already been informed why people were talking about Colbert’s balls… that takes balls.
If you watch the Colbert Report, you’ll see that he talks about how important it is to have balls all the time. Being ballsy is sort of a running theme of his. That’s why people are paying him tribute by saying he has major balls.
But now that you mention it, I don’t really want to fixate on his testicles. I mentioned them more times in this post than I would ever want to. I blame you, New Iskander. I wouldn’t have explained it if you hadn’t brought it up. Thanks a lot.
I’ve heard that Colbert’s balls are not really round but more ovoidal. And that they’re
-alicious.
Do you think they have hair all around or do they have shiny bald spots on them like other’s I’ve seen. You know, I’ve seen my share of balls and, contrary to what other people were saying in that other thread, I don’t think Stephen’s balls are made of brass. It’s probably those shiny bald spots people are confusing with brass.
I do like how Colbert rested them on the chin of the president AND the media. That was a hoot.
Did I mention balls? Of the testicular kind. Ballsy balls balls. Juevos. Cojones. Family jewels. Hairy sperm holders. Nutsacks.
You really should read the Wikipedia article Marley23 linked to. Here’s the relevant highlights;
As well as two of the books he’s “written”, Don’t Buy This Book If You Don’t Have The Balls and the children’s version of that book.
It’s a frequent topic for him. Just like any other person with a catchphrase or way of speaking, it’s going to be used by the media when commenting on them and it’s appropriate.
No one was really suggesting that Colbert’s performance was an act of incredible, personal courage. When people say it took “balls” (which, as has been said, is an internal reference to the character himself), they’re really only talking about a certain kind of audacity or chutzpah. Everyone understands he wasn’t going to get burned at the stake, but speaking truth to power (or in this case ridiculing power to its face) is always worthy of being called “ballsy” even if it doesn’t involve any literal risk of life and limb (though Colbert should probably make sure he’s got all his receipts and check blanks for the last five years). The word has a lot of range and it’s silly to suggest that it can’t be used unless someone is risking his life.
There’s now a thread about this usage of “balls” in GQ. There’s no clear acknowledgement, but it appears that Colbert’s balls have gotten into three different SD fora.
Now, that’s adjusted for a small community that’s likely to be familiar with the work of both of you. I could well imagine that in the wider world, your reputation for inanity might well be temporarily overshadowed by this new-found appreciation for Colbert’s balls. And I agree with you that that’s a sad and frightening thing. It’s important, though, that you not try for some single masterstroke of idiocy designed to restore your status all at once: you haven’t properly trained for it and you might pull something. Rather, just keep posting small but easily mastered fallacies and misperceptions. Use your vast reserves of ignorance to outlast the bastard, and the next one after him. We’re all behind you – don’t turn around, just take my word for it. Stay focused on your goal, which is just over the horizon. Somewhere.
