This page is going to need a major overhaul, because it looks like all the links to specific videos are defunct. Comedy Central has overhauled the Colbert Report website. Whether the videos are totally gone or have just been removed, I don't know, but the result is the same for this page. I might get around to it, but I want to say I really appreciate whoever carefully sourced the tropes to the videos that inspired them, because that's a lot of hard work that really enriched the page. I'm sorry it's gonna have to go.
What Do You Mean, It's Not Awesome? has been renamed to Mundane Made Awesome because of widespread misuse. Its sad that a show which virtually runs on Mundane Made Awesome doesn't seem to have any actual examples listed (something I'm about to fix). Here's what was there:
- What Do You Mean, It's Not Awesome?: During an interview with HCAN leader Richard Kirsch, Colbert asks if alligators versus chickens would be awesome.
- Just listen to what he thinks Barack Obama should do after declaring the end of the war.
- Also, just listen to that explosive handshake!
Removed:
- Brief Accent Imitation: Stephen occasionally puts on a Southern accent, but tends not to keep it up for very long before reverting to his regular one.
This is at best a weird way of putting it. The actor is a Southerner, he went to school in Chicago to lose the accent.
The child is father to the man —Oedipus"Heterosexual Life-Partners: When does Sir Dr. Stephen T Colbert DFA plan on retiring? Half an hour after Jon Stewart."
Does anyone know where this came from? When Stephen said it, I mean?
Is is just me or did Colbert reference NGE with the Tang thing during the space video on the August 16, 2011 show?

I'm curious about why you keep adding in that link, despite repeated removals, Rupert.
I'm also hoping you have this page watchlisted.

Removed from main page, as there is a cleanup effort on one of the pages linked here underway and I am not sure what to do with this entry:
