Tifatul Sembiring on The Colbert Report

[ingajadeh]

my goodness.. gubrak!!

did he really write that on his twitter page? is that not a made-up-joke?

(*hiding my passport for a while.. XDDD)

[StuKaBomber100]

okwkokwokow.... kelakuan2.. parah ente gan... no komeng dah ane gan.. kowokwkowko.. duh aduuhh.....................!  japra2 kelakuan lo ckckkc

[dikajenny]

he actually has to do that in the "right" way.. like smiling and put his hands in the chest.. if he's not intend to shake her hand.. damn dude, I feel a shame..

[aoiazzura]

now this is funny folks. damn yeah. i love my country. hahaha.

[leviyanti]

So sorry to MRS. Obama for the bad performance from our minister... actually we didn't make islam so difficult as tifatul sembiring.... (I thought we should judge country n religion not from the person... this from the bad person make Indonesia look bad)

[leviyanti]

I felt shame as ind people ... the minister make bad performance and attitude... so so sorry to MRS. Obama... we actually didn't make Islam to difficult in the world.

[crotluar]

Tifatul tai kucing.., gak berkualitas tuh PKS tai..

[crotluar]

Tifatul tai kucing.., gak berkualitasn tuh PKS tai..

[crotluar]

Tifatul tai kucing..,

[crotluar]

Tifatul tai

[kacaupisan]

"...really facebook and twitter? I was pictured indonesian communicating by banging coconut on a logs." ... if all the Indonesian listen this sentence, then this is obviously very painful for the Indonesian, maybe this will worsen the relationship between Indonesia and the United States

[ibing2008]

@kacaupisan

That's true....I'll comunicate with colbert by throwing coconut to his head!

[AatJago]

I'm an Indonesian AND ALSO a conservative Muslim. But I found this show and this joke to be extremely funny. I LOL'd in my office watching this :D

Lighten up, my fellow Indonesians. We actually need people like Colbert to make our life brighter :)

[revengeofbutthead]

Tifatul Sembiring is a douche!, and stupid PKS

[predatorMj87]

i am an indonesian.....but i don't think about that too much.....

so what....did both of them making sexs????

that is not, right??????

so what?

[bejokus]

I'm an indonesian so i know we tend to pissed every time someone has a different opinion.

pfft...this country suck...

[fishball3389]

this show rocks, we should have one here

[fishball3389]

this show rocks, we should have one here

[isengaja]

The colbert show is a satire comedy show that made fun politics and media in US, something that is not allowed in Indonesia, so go figure.

[yoshi0810]

@isengaja not before gus dur and ever since anyways... seriously, that guy can laugh about satire on himself. but yeah, abolish the information ministry again, we were okay when gus dur abolished it, why do we need it anyways?

[klemclements]

@isengaja , it's allowed, is just not really happening yet.

[linkinsil]

Obviously this guy has never been to Indonesia, we are one of the biggest user of facebook and twitter...even the remote island has telephone line, this is the 21st century...

[hendrakido]

bwahahaha.. colbert rocks! minister sucks! i like coconuts!

ps: yes btw i'm indonesian too...

[melintir]

in Indonesia we all know that this minister was appointed due to political contract of the coalition, not because of his qualification, i doubt that he has a slightest clue about communication and informatics, just because he has a twitter account doesn't mean he does

[pengikutsetan]

its only a joke. but those minister suck!

colbert come to indonesia. you will be glad if you came here. in indonesia we dont have fucking stupid redneck like in America. learn more abot us before you mocking us because we learn lot about your idiotcracy in USA

[ninosaisland]

LOL jesus, there's no reason to be mad. It's a jooooke

[bromokunto]

And for all Coconut bangers out there ... please there is no reason to be mad ... this guy is just trying to make his living ... besides IT"S SHOW BUSINESS!

[adrianhartanto23]

yeah..yeah... maybe he is wrong handshaking with Michelle Obama.

But what the connection with the Indonesia country???

i heard you say like you mocking the Indonesia country.

have u ever kissed by gay the day before you spoke in this video ?

[Nggakjelas92]

Well, this so called "conservative muslim party" isn't really conservative at all. They had changed since the last election event, allowing non-muslim members to join their rank.

Also, please don't insult the entire people in a country just because a mistake made by ONE minister (yes yes I know this is a satire but this is too far)

oh, I'm not this party supporter btw

[ToddB525]

So, is he going to the Muslim version of hell for touching Mrs. Obama? If he is, we can all shake his hand because that is where her husband is sending this country.

[XskaterGirl]

still, I think this minister sucks, such a hypocrite, and doesn't have compassion towards the victims of the natural disasters (referring to his comments in his Twitter account). go to hell, Tifatul Sumbing! ROFL!

[XskaterGirl]

oh man, you're insulting us, the Indonesians....we do know and have accounts in Twitter & Facebook!

[hyakugojuuichi]

What I can get from this are

1. Be careful with your mouth and your actions, we are all watching you in this naked world. So please, Mr. Minister, BEHAVE !! Enough with those embarrassing attitudes of yours and get a life.

2. Mikir sebelum ngepost. Cari tau trs atur bahasa kalo pake bahasa orang. Tunjukin kalo Indo masi ada martabat, jangan asal ketik F***. Bhs indo aja ga becus pake F F an

3. Understanding this joke doesn't mean that you're smart. Be cool, no need to boast it everywhere *sigh*

[fadhlier]

hi i'm indonesian. i see in this video that ms michele doesn't shake mr tifatul's hand first, but mr tifatul who want to shake hand first

[kickmyask82]

wtf with the coconut thing.. sigh.. that's not funny

but this minister is really embarrassing Indonesia..

i'm indonesian

[Zovlanov]

if U love Indonesia..., don't act like him!

[indonalways]

his hypocritical behaviour is unacceptable.........

[lumutmenjulurrr]

I'm Indonesian too! I have nothing for/against Mr Sembiring, but this is one helluva funny video!!! HAHAHA

"facebook and twitter? really? I thought indonesians communicate by beating coconut on a log" ROAR!!! HAHAHAHA

you know what, Mr. Colbert, do you know Ariel Peterporn?

yea? no? that's proof that indonesians have internet access too!

Moreover we have some level of technology that you are yet to have.

for example: Bajaj.

[d4rthm0]

I'm Indonesian, but I lol'd. Hard.

Some Indonesian has to learn not to be hypocrites.. Especially this Tifatul guy..

No wonder the Great Porn Firewall of Indonesia crushing to pieces, this guy helms it.. I lol'd HARD..

[buni86]

good tiffie !.. shame on you !..

[soetjie]

so what getooo loooh...

[cogmesh]

"Totally her fault !!! totally her fault !!!"

Man..that joke...Tifatul should realize how ashamed he should be now

Never wanted to be blamed on everything, Good job on further tarnishing Indonesian reputation 

[SuperNewsJunky]

FINGER BOOBS!

[padera9]

Bony nipples : lol

[lorensiuswlt]

What Tiffatul did is called 'Munafik' LOL

[yoOfelia]

this video just goes to prove that Colbert is God's chosen prophet.

[bonganriverboy]

I am Indonesian, I know many people like them, they are very overacting and looks innocents in public but doing crazy thing behind, we called this behavior "Munafik"

[legionsa2008]

wakakak.. i'm indonesian.. but.. lolz.. hahaha no one i can say... speechless!

[koji8123]

Dear Indonesians:

Please send more djarum blacks. <3

Thank you.

[vsuripa]

I am Indonesian; Indonesia does permit hand shake between man and woman. But there are little comunity who think they are saints, announce that they can't touch woman. this comunity is narrow minded and has low education level. but some of them made it to minister. Now let's fire this mother fucker!!

[orangmabuksekali]

I am an Indonesian, and I think he's a stupid minister. Embarassing his own country. Talking shit. From the video, I could already see that he was smiling when he was waiting for his turn to shake the first lady's hand. Not only that, he smiled when they shook hands. What a cheap way to be in the news. Stupid guy. He's a coward sob, go to hell. Indonesians called it "orang bodoh". Stupid Mother fucker. Kill that SOB. Get Osama to get him, his little PRICK

[mirrormoveuchiha]

Obama should be a witness for the Lord, since that is what those who follow Jesus are, ambassadors for the Lord. If he believes it, then it should come from His mouth, if he is not ashamed. I don't think a president who says he believes, but then won't stand up for what he believes. If he is a muslim, he should say he is a muslim and stand on it. He is in a really good position to make some headway if he will just talking about who Jesus said He was, the way, the truth and the life.

[msantaka]

I wish our president can take a pointer here.

Our country hardly shows up on Colbert report and the 1 time it was mentioned in the show, everyone was making fun of Tifatul.

Someone please fire him and get us a more competent minister..

[uranmui]

The day we can communicate with coconuts, is the day i'll throw away my blackberry. Hey, maybe they'll name a new android OS Coconut ! :P

[MsMakas]

Wauuuu...Mister Tafanuli hizhiz

[klemclements]

If you are offended by the 'coconuts' comment you have misunderstood the show. Understand that Colbert is on your side. Comedy , especially based on cultural idiom, is difficult to translate but his satire here attacks Tifitul & conservative America.

[PhePheLemon]

this is hilarious!!!! indeed, he's a narrow-minded minister, and im indonesian.

[PhePheLemon]

hilarious!!! and indeed he's a narrow minded minister

[wongedancuk]

ok guyz new shit from his twitter :

"Hmmm saya mulai faham poinnya, intinya ngiri aja..." jawab Tifatul di twitternya

in english " ohh i know what's your point, its because you just jealous ( that he can handshake with ms obama) "

i really want to punch this Tifatul guy in the face >_> ....

[larelo6]

Mad about it? I don't think so. :-|

Just expressed my personal view.

The words I capitalized ease people to read my point, something we probably don't share.

No need for overreaction then. Cheers, all! ;-)

Oh, ya, should I wrote it "connected THROUGH cellphones, THROUGH social networks" there.

[pchendra]

ajjuuuhhh, memalukan ah

[six25]

conclusion: islam and all religions are retarded

[doddyambardi]

Alias : MUNAFIK !!!!!!~

[danardana]

the "banging coconut on a log" joke is kind of an obvious joke, Colbert being an Idiot still funny though.

[danardana]

the joke is: colbert is an Idiot, which makes him funny. Idiots are funny to watch

[danardana]

I'm a proud Indonesian, and I think it's funny as hell. right wing conservatives are funny people with their "hey don't do this,..and you should do this..blaaaargh"..

hahaha

[WarsOfate]

Some people need to learn to relax. I think it's funny. I don't see the point of defending something ridiculous. Yes, I'm also an Indonesian.

[CakMamat]

Seems like many Indonesians don't understand what satire is. Colbert is not making fun of Indonesia. He's playing the part of a right-wing conservative, making fun of himself for not knowing anything about other cultures or nations.

[rio197]

@CakMamat True. I think those who protested in these comments should watch Bill O'Reilly the political commentator in his show "The O'Reilly Factor". Then you'll see how funny Colbert is.

P.S. I'm Indonesian.

[cleanpurtysmile]

LOL some Indonesian peeps here definitely don't know anything about the nature of The Colbert Report. Reminds me of the "RAIN" incident in South Korea a few years ago. Good times.

[clovisbritania]

This is Tifatul's Karma, for Banning our Pron

[mEnxQo]

rame yeee kalo ada yg beginian . ckck

[wongedancuk]

Congrats! i love you guyz

unfortunately

Tifanul licking everybody asses back there. not only obama.

you can follow his twitter account , it hillarious if you know indonesian language, he really2 licking everybody asses, and well for minister he post wayyy too many twits .

hahaha

[adjayanto]

Indonesia gak punya Comedy Central, jadi gak ngerti apa itu The Colbert Report.

Indonesian never had show like The Colbert Report or channel like Comedy Central, so they don't understand.

And you tiffie, you f***ed as always. And Kebo is f**ing moron to have you as minister, and yet stupid 61%of us elected him again. We're f***ed.

[wongedancuk]

@adjayanto

we Indonesian have much better and smarter political joke TV show

l

[cleanpurtysmile]

@wongedancuk UM.... NO.

[adjayanto]

@wongedancuk it WAS... before last election... before it moved from Indosiar to another channel.

[GLORIACHRISTUSREX]

This dude (Tifatul) surely embarrassing us here in Indonesia,and many of us saw this as the most disgusting political Hypocrisy ever,is weird to saw this kind of Fundamentalist/Religious Conservative works at our government, when religion met politic it's became a Big Joke!

[b4kp4u]

that's one stupid minister...

I'm indoesian btw...

[theleftymonster]

@b4kp4u The minister may be stupid but not for what he did but for what he said after the fact, The real stupid are those people who outraged over a handshake!!

[udenks]

what did he say ".....what are knuckle .. fingers bobs"

Could somebody translate it into "English"?

[udenks]

what dis he say ".....what are knuckle .. fingers bobs"

Could somebody translate it into "English"?

[vlawliet]

a real shame for man is avoiding his mistake, shame on you mister minister.

[IRM4Carolina]

nhaloo,nhaloo,,hihihi,,,"Bangi­ng Coconut on a log"? maybe sound so ridicolus when aour minister of information said that Mrs,Michele that make her hand to close with him,,(-__-) shame on you Mr.Minister

[djkevinz]

typical ignorance western

[SIDAURUK9]

lain kali para pejabat seperti ini ngak perlu disertakan di barisan penyambutan tamu, hanya buat bingung tamu negara saja, karena tamu itu pasti belajar tata krama sebelum melawat suatu negara, nah kalau indonesia ya salaman seperti biasa, tifatul itu bukan orang indonesia , tapi org arab nyasar

[TheWahyudi77]

he said : Banging Coconut on a log????

this fucking moron so fucking stupid an racist .......

[AlbinoTanuki]

@TheWahyudi77 No, thats the character he's playing; Colbert does Satire comedy and only plays an idiot on tv.

[Indonesianinwinnipeg]

@TheWahyudi77 LOL Colbert makes fun everybody. I'm an Indonesian who watches his show lots, so I understand...He plays his part as an ignorant Republican.

[TheWahyudi77]

This fucking yankee so fucking stupid ....

[Gilgamesh387]

@TheWahyudi77 no, thats the character he plays.

[sanowasi]

kalau malu salaman ya tabik aja Pak..... :-) udah lah pak.... sesama manusia kok pakai malu2 kucing..... apalagi cuma salaman....

[lindayulho]

Yang bikin 'hot' itu sebenernya bukan kenyataan bahwa dia bersalaman dengan Michelle Obama, tapi jawabannya di twitter. Mbok ya udah ngaku aja kalo dia emang mau salaman atau ingin memberikan respon yang baik untuk The First Lady. Kalo begitu jawabannya, kan tidak akan jadi 'bulan2an."

Tiffy...Tiffy...:D

[S4tr101996]

it was funny at first but when he said "i always pictured indonesians communicated with each other by banging coconuts on a log" it wasn't funny and that is a bit racist

But that's my opinion, im not gonna say anyone who have different opinions wrong

[ho2cultcha]

@S4tr101996 @larelo6 if this is what you believe, you do not understand colbert. it's a humorous dig at conservative rednecks - like an oxymoron or a double-entendre. he is not dissing indonesians in any way, although it looks like he is. he is a comedian and comedy often translates very poorly.

[S4tr101996]

@ho2cultcha i know tat, but it just seems a little bit offensive to me. But like i said before, this is just my opinion and im sure everyones feels differently about this video

[clovisbritania]

@S4tr101996

and this is why Indonesian facebook/twitter people is considered stupid.

They get mad for the little things, even Satiric Jokes

[SogekingZZ]

@clovisbritania oh really? how many indonesian do you know?

i don't like this minister either, but that's just the way of him to get a sympathy from the conservative....sad but true

[clovisbritania]

@SogekingZZ

Look one just replied, because I just said most of them are stupid.

Looks like you just proved one of the Indonesian internet stereotype

"They get mad for the little things, even Satiric Jokes"

Congratulations.

[clovisbritania]

@S4tr101996

And Colbert is famous for his Satiric Jokes and Comedies.

Don't know what Satiric is? Go look at your dictionary.

[eboycoolz]

i hate the way the news reporter talking about indonesia

[cacah2503]

If it is not too serious, why should ridiculing other people ...? : (

If you are a liberal, you should be more respect for what the beliefs of others. A mockery would be serious if it is delivered not in the perception of freedom. Malay proverb says "tap water in the tray, face spattered itself": poor people do not like to judge others, if you yourself can not do better.

[TheWeepingMan]

Some Madhab of Islam does forbid handshake. That should tell you something, right?

[gusbong85]

indos peoples are bullshit.. n i am indo... im so not proud of it..!!

[kojidomoto51244]

in this case, the most important is he denied what he has said and blaming to others, not because what belief that he has.

[aditmen]

ya elah ga usah comment pake bahasa Inggris kali. coba liat di statistik, hampir semua dari 7249 yang nonton dari Indonesia, liat link refferalnya juga dari Indonesia. bahkan yang upload juga dari Indonesia.

Isu ini ga bakal besar kalo orang Indonesianya sendiri ga ngebesar-besarin. aneh kalo sekarang orang Indonesia jadi malu gara-gara ada video ini dan menyalahkan Tifatul.

[mEnxQo]

heyy there only handshake folks . come onnn . dont u look ??? ONLY HANDSHAKE !! what just by shaking a reputation that could make someone so bad? no. It is a phrase if he was welcoming guests is important. so do not insult origin. look at you whether it is correct not to be a man?

[setiawandenis]

TOTALLY HER FAULT! hahahaha

[widitamaprabanu]

look at his fool face...LOL

[an006]

"It's her fault!"

Come on guys, it's an international joke that indonesia is a primitive nation.

Just like the jews joke that-you-know-what...

Or the blonde joke....

No one is hurt on sarcastic joke like that....

[chinxian696]

Tifatul ... never fail to make me laugh with his hypocritical moronic act ... lol...

[ogayoga]

semriwiing....!!

[TheEthnicgirl]

I think Mr. Tifawful Sembiring should be better step down from his position as he is too dumbass to be a minister. Look! World is laughing harder at you mr. minister

[chrislax8385]

Not really nice for him to say that Indonesians bang on coconuts to communicate since he has somewhat no knowledge whatsoever about Indonesia and what a country it is. And most certainly he has never been to Jakarta probably. But anyways, he's just doing his job as a comedian and i assume he finds it amusing to be disliked by other countries that he mocks. Way to go!

[arnolds83]

The most hypocritical Islamic Indonesian Minister official on "EARTH", and he became the laughing stock of the world :-]]]] hahahahahaha

From morality perspective as Polygamist: Tifatul Sembiring have 2 legal wives plus several concubines, and he loves "night lives adult entertainments" , but hypocritically this idiot refused shake hands with many women :-]]]]]]]]]

[s3lfdefenc3]

c'mon guys, dont take this so serious. i got this from wikipedia

"[The Colbert Report] focuses on a fictional anchorman character named Stephen Colbert, played by his real-life namesake.... Colbert's character, a "well-intentioned, poorly informed, high-status idiot", is right-wing, egomaniacal, fact-averse ("factose intolerant"), God-fearing, and super-patriotic."

so, any comment on this show is not represented the real Colbert's perspectives. this is only a satirical comedy. enjoy it.

[j4ckblade]

Ha! Wanna see me bang MY coconut on YOUR log, Mr. Colbert? No? I'll bang it to Mr. Sembiring then.

[intropeksi]

I cant hold my laugh after seeing this footage, its really funny how he reacts by blaming first lady. Well we know how people do when they're cornered. They do foolish things to protect themselves, what a shame. Another Hypocrite alive.

[lunarouge99]

hehehehe...i like your jokes!heuheu..heu..heu!

start to watching colbert!

[Talkingheadphones]

well, tiffie is a scumbag. we all know this, so i pray that si komo will eventually crushed him in one giant step. uhuk.

and for my dear Indonesian friends (Im Indonesian).....GEEZ DUDES, CHILL OUT! ITS COLBERT! bein mad to him is like being mad to, uh, homer (simpson) for acting stupid or choking bart over simple mistake. again, its comedy. laugh. haha.

santai aja jangan tersinggung, ini cuma komedi. hehe,

dgn tersinggung malah keliatan bodoh.

again, chill! ^^

[bobbybishopbuffalo]

Colbert's funny & smart, but he really shouldn't generalize Indonesians as communicating with coconuts, especially knowing that that country has one of the most facebook subscribers. That comment just made him a little less smart than usual..

Still good comedy tho

[AlbinoTanuki]

@bobbybishopbuffalo Well of course its not smart, that's his character. He's suppose to assume idiotic things like that.

[adicumi]

as an Indonesian, I only can say ROFL~

[larelo6]

Umm, Colbert's "I always picture Indonesians communicating by banging coconuts on a log" seems to need some reconciliation with Obama's "A NEW GENERATION OF INDONESIANS IS AMONG THE MOST WIREDS IN THE WORLD, CONNECTED TO CELLPHONES, TO SOCIAL NETWORKS" in his University of Indonesia speech, I guess. :-|

A proud Indonesian I am. B-)

[beckmiracle10]

@larelo6 setuju!

[ho2cultcha]

@larelo6 if this is what you believe, you do not understand colbert. it's a humorous dig at conservative rednecks - like an oxymoron or a double-entendre. he is not dissing indonesians in any way, although it looks like he is. he is a comedian and comedy often translates very poorly.

[clovisbritania]

@larelo6

do you the meaning of a Satirical Joke?

[Triplekia]

@larelo6

Its called a joke...

[281990355]

hehehe..

its funny :)

[kiddiesm]

Looks like 7 people already banged their coconut.

C'mon, chill the fuck out. don't be too freakin serious.

[RepublikRakyatDanang]

excuse me: "Banging Coconut on a log"?

Indonesia is currently third on Facebook's largest users in the world. Moron -.- .

As for our minister: gua malu punya menteri muna kaya lu.

[karlkarnadi]

@RepublikRakyatDanang Please realize that Colbert is supposed to be a moron. This is a comedy show where he is impersonating a stupid racist pro-Bush character just to ridicule such character type :).

[chandlerashari]

@RepublikRakyatDanang you do realize the the colbert report is satire dont you? it represents a less-than-complimentary send-up the most bigoted american viewpoints, ya dumbass. The laughs, they're laughs suppoting us.

[clovisbritania]

@RepublikRakyatDanang

which mostly consists of  "Low IQ people" who gets offended easily, kindapped easily and tricked easily via facebook.

Yeah, you can be proud of that.

[AlbinoTanuki]

@RepublikRakyatDanang Colbert's just playing a satirical character on tv for codedy; I highly doubt he really thinks Indonesians communicate with each other through coconuts.

[globtrottr]

This is really embarrassing yet very funny. Luckily, I have delevoped a thick skin, because this wasn't the first time Tifatul embarrassed us. And Holy Tiffy still doesn't get why this is a controversy. When will SBY fire this polygamist, hypocritical and liar wingnut? Thank you Tifatul and SBY, for making us the world's laughing stock. What will Jon Stewart say after this, o lordy.. Lol. Lanjutkan...

Lulz

at least now they know that Indonesian also use Facebook and Twitter
