Poll: Colbert or Stewart?

[reincarN8ed]

Pretty straight forward question. I was watchin the Colbert Report(pronounced: coal-bear re-pour) and got to thinkin "how many people like this guy over Jon Stewart or visa-versa?" So, cast your vote! Either for the God-fearing, Conservative Stephen Colbert OR his more Liberal counter-part Jon Stewart. And be sure to post why.

EDIT: My man is Mr. Colbert! He shares my political and religious views and frankly I find Stewart too loud and annoying.

Stewart but don't be surprised if this tread gets locked, another one was done a few days ago.

Neither. John Oliver is the way to go. There;s almost something poetic about a British man spewing hilarious and incredibly true bits of political comedy.

*Gulp*

Oh yes and the mods aren't particularly fond of vs threads, but don't fear, getting your thread locked has no affect of your profile, also you should try and search the forums(under forums top right corner above the list of threads) with key words like Colbert and Stewart to try and make sure your not making a repeat.

I actually prefer Colbert

 

[reincarN8ed]

Awww, but that would take actual work...

I think they're both funny, though I don't tune into either very often.

On a side note, Colbert isn't actually conservative.
Rather, his portrayal of a conservative on his show is a satire of conservatives.

yes but then you wont have 2-3 people telling you to use the search button. it helps if you've been here longer and have seen what threads have been done in the past months.

Colbert is far too preachy, and it's easy to be preachy when you make millions of dollars a year. Stewart is more laid back, and his segments are funnier. Colbert has some really crazy liberal writers, and his show pretty much amounts to him taking cheap shots at conservatives for a half hour. John Stewart actually tends to cover news, and he just seems like a nicer and less arrogant/condescending person in my opinion.

Stewart all the way.

Look up Charlie Brooker's Newswipe and the Screenwipe episode on news on Youtube.


I think Colbert is funnier but Jon is a better news analyst/critic.

I would have to agree with this but to be honest I would never watch either for a serious analysis of anything.

First off it sounds like you typed "Colbert" in for "Stewart" and visa-versa.
Second, if you want news flip over to Fox News or C-Span or what-have-you. These guys are comedians.

I'm fairly certain Jon Stewart is actually a real person. (although it's not his real name). Colbert is also funny but it's an act.

 

[The Last Parade]

colbert all the way

 

[DeAvatar]

I find Stewart to cover more of the bases then Colbert, and has more minions at his disposal.
Stewart is dah man!

 

[Dys]

Neither are funny, I really don't get american humor :S

It's just my opinion, but it sound to me like you've never watched either of the shows if you think I got their characters mixed up. :x

I hope you understand that Colbert does his act in satire...

Stewart for me.
