Speech at the White House Correspondent's Dinner (2006) p1

[baconlatte]

Colbert is my hero. Balls of steel.

[aliasmask]

Wow, that's a tough room. Colbert is a brave guy.

[TheloniousCrunk95]

usually hate comments bitching about dislikes but i mean really?

[9loriaDoria]

still a thing of infinite beauty, thank you petec and Stephen C

[daredude123]

Morpheus!

[1023JPG]

i would love to see someone do this to obama

[RedekerEleven]

@1023JPG He did, actually. I believe. Colbert did this for Obama, too.

[HugoBossUnzipped]

gw knows he's going to get spanked before Stephen even gets to the mic.

[koolkat4U]

Errr...yeah...Is this American humour?

[Bloodyidit]

@koolkat4U

Political American humor.

you need to actually be in the country and live in it for several years to get every facet of these jokes.

in other words, we hated George W. Bush Jr.

[Christhefireshark]

@koolkat4U Americans have *humor.* From what I know, the two are quite different.

[klimeh]

@koolkat4U

Most everyone in America dislikes Bush W for his gaffes and overall stupidity for killing our family members over wars based on lies to get revenge for Saddam making an attempt on his dad Bush Sr. Hate our politicians, not the people or COMEDIANS. =)

[vg5157]

@koolkat4U and an ass hole too !!

[LifePsyop]

Stephen is a professional actor.

[jordanlynn32184]

Stephen is brilliant

[HowlingWolf518]

It's official - Stephen Tyrone Colbert has balls the size of Epcot Center.

[vg5157]

@HowlingWolf518 NOT ,is protected by the constitution ,he doesn't have those balls to that in Cuba ,only in America

[GoodWithComputer]

It was this moment in time when he was crowned, "King Master Troll, Sir Steven Colbert."

[D1LatedPupils]

the SUV joke might have got one of the worst reactions ever.

[survivurman]

Wow he has balls

[Bloodyidit]

@survivurman

as a political comedian, he has to have massive brass balls to do this job.

[HiddenFacedMatt]

"Reality has a well-known liberal bias..." - Stephen Colbert

This needs to be said more often.

[Simbelmyne13]

This man has cojones of galactic proportions. He made everyone in the room look like a total tool.

[cell151]

If someone did something like this to Obama, he would be branded a "racist" and lose his job.

[jattstud]

@cell151

That is because Obama is not a dumb fuck or a lying manipulative piece of shit like Dubya

[cell151]

@jattstud The intelligence of your post speaks for itself.

[joeypopcornpie]

Stephen Colbert - Speech at the White House Correspondent's Dinner in 2006.

[robertwarrior]

honestly im suprised his steel balls dnt clink together when he walks up to the podium

[robertwarrior]

This guys has f@ckn balls man

[DeirdreMac12345]

this man is the man of dreams

[Br0sInArms]

I've just found a new-found respect for Stephen Colbert

[weaseldragon]

It's not very funny because Colbert didn't intend it to be funny. He was deadly serious, pretending to be funny.

[luckycharmn]

you cant spell the continental united states of america land of the free and home of the brave without COLBERT

[rustybuckingham]

I read an article that came out this month in the New York Times that praised Stephen Colbert on pretty much everything EXCEPT this correspondent's dinner speech which they claim is "not funny" and "lame". In my opinion this is one of the high points of his career. The only reason the nytimes didn't like it was because he criticizes the media (including the nytimes) for accepting the spoonfed BS Bush's administration gave them instead of finding the truth to keep the public informed

[BrokenBook]

White House Roast

[JorgeL721]

I'm sure Colbert was uncomfortable giving this speech, given he is a comedian not a politician.

[stfuplzzzz]

They are all looking at him like: Wow he is telling the truth, he is far more radical then we are!

[PaleLittleGirl1]

you know that guy who hired him got fired

[fogo5643]

6:20-6:22 *hehehehe* SHIET! im on camera

[margiepie13]

"reality has a well known liberal bias" best. quote. ever.

[heckalboelli]

woah that was caustic

[docsein1]

6:48

The "glass is half empty / half full" joke was the best. I laughed so hard I almost choked.

You can almost see how red Bush's face was in that.

[drinsanity13]

Balls of steel. Stephen Colbert, you are the fucking man.

[sandmansam2]

At 1:33 Bush shits himself

[phriendlybear]

@sandmansam2 at 1:33 i was like "oh shiiit. i feel quite sorry for this guy about now."

[fosponomot]

a ruthless excoriation of everyone in the room. pure hydrochloric acid. the discomfort is palpable. wonderful.

[Briconartist111]

lol the reason it didn't go over well is because republicans are stiff-shirted and humorless people.

[pokedar]

@xmarkedspot

Actually yes I don't think anywhere I the world prior to 1780's was there free speech against government officials in this way. And I still think in a lot of countries there is ok free speech and I like to see to go to Iran or north Korea and speak out against the government.

[XmarkedSpot]

@49fortyniners

Let your keyboard get checked, i think your caps lock may be broken.

[TheJaredtheJaredlong]

This is possibly the finest representation of the freedom of speech.

[shuri]

I SEE HIM TROLLING~

HE'S HATING~

[theolivetree95]

hahaha I love when he cracks the joke about Cheney shooting him, you look at Bush and he's just cracking up!

[ptrain191]

@49fortyniners Dude, chill the fuck out

[MrTuber6969]

LMAO `tonite no one is safe`cut to george bush`s face looking like awr shit. 1:33

[Metamorphosis33]

@49fortyniners NAME ONE D-BAG??

[chupacabras0905]

@49fortyniners You like men in your butt

[superclaydude]

@chupacabras0905 girls--some of them--like it. your argument is invalid.

[chupacabras0905]

@superclaydude I never said they didnt? soooo okay...my hair is bird, your arguement is invalid

[pokedar]

this is why america is so amazing in most countries a normal person would get taken out back and killed for taking back to the government

[XmarkedSpot]

@pokedar

This is something probably only an u.s. citizen could say and really mean it...

I mean come on, what are you thinking? That the freedom of speech is an invention of the u.s. constitution? That everywhere else only dictators and corrupt regiemes are in charge?

The saddest thing is that the u.s. is turning out to be a police state with a global imperialistic agenda, while the majority of it's citizens applauds as they are about to abolish they ideals and with it themselves, too.

[ilikewebm]

i never saw so an funny american speech, nice ...

[racecarpatrick]

he ate his balls at 6:55 and still made a come back

[blackjackking51]

I can only dream of the glory this man has achieved.

[DCTriv]

Tough crowd.

[MissAngieTeacher]

"I believe in America - I believe it exists" Yeeahh! Thank God for Colbert's sense of humor. Sheer brilliance. Colbert's the best. COLBERT IS A STUD!

[Mortheline]

1:28 Stephen Colbert and a look of pure joy and glee.

[RIBASAROUS]

@civecimu nope. Louis CK is hilarious, but he won't reach this level of intelligent satire. It won't be nearly as subtle, but I bet its better than Seth Meyers.

[civecimu]

soo is Louis C.K. gonna top this?

[king24448]

6:18  morpheus?

[lianabak]

Everyone's too scared to really laugh

[Monerasauce]

Almost as good as being invited to a hotdog lunch :P

[davd1986]

"Important to set up your jokes properly sir." LOL. Definitely making fun of Bush's jokes, or attempts at making jokes!!

[Rasmussen710]

Please let this man - Mr. Colbert - host the Oscars next year!!!

[CrogBear]

"No fact news. Fox News, I want a copyright on that term."

[CenkIsAdorable]

wtf is Morpheus doing there?

[69bobbington69]

sooo... did they think he was an actual conservative or something?

[MrFlannelMouth]

@69bobbington69 Nope. It's the same reason you see politicians on British panelshows like Have I Got News for You. They're trying to show they've got a sense of humour, and are people 'like us'.

[69bobbington69]

@MrFlannelMouth Heh, kinda hard to buy that line when politicians act like such, well, politicians.

[12etcetera]

Boom, roasted!

[ninjaturtletyke55555]

there are no nerve endings in our brain thats why open brain surgery is possible

[ThePoliticsJunkie]

what a bunch of stiffs.

[braswellwin]

this us hilarious.

[94sleeptalker]

6:19 

[iamthe1337est]

This is legendary.

[thesparkman97]

HAHA I hit the play button on my mac and itunes opened and started playing hell's bell's by ac/dc (the beginning is gongs for whoever doesnt know) RIGHT when he introduced ambassador jo-en jong

[spawn399]

Colbert openly bashes everyone in the crowd.

Everyone in the crowd uncomfortably laughs.

[bricbob1986]

this is the most amazing thing i have ever seen, stephen has balls that would fill any pair of slacks, and can shoot his knowledge on anyones face that he wants.

[MakedaAylen]

'I call it the No-Fact Zone. Fox News - I want copyright on that term'. Brilliant!!!

[goblinob]

the "backwash" joke was gold.

[Metamorphosis33]

NO ONE has ever had the balls to do this before or since this...one of my favorite moments of my generation...I thought it was beautiful

[cultureisyouros]

@Metamorphosis33 Norm MacDonald did it!

[Metamorphosis33]

@cultureisyouros where is the video?

[oneirishpoet]

@Metamorphosis33 Amen, for me it was THE highlight of the entire 8 fucking long years of fascism/ criminality of the Cheney/Bush regime...Colbert has HUGE cajones for sticking it in the face of all these media whore douchebags who NEVER called the asshole Bush out for his bullshit

[stopdropandroll]

@Metamorphosis33 joe wong?

[AlexTheSarcasticOne]

at 2:21 he almost forgot his middle initial

[Raspberry1616]

"The last third is usually backwash." xDDDD

[BeatriceBlake]

I like that line when Stephen tells the Chinese ambassador:

"Your great country makes our Happy Meals possible."

So true.

[dieslowlgs]

bush no understand

[Kraluth]

Lawrence Fishburne at 6:20 is like "HAHA! Oh, crap, the camera's on me. *serious face

[Dethelem]

this guy has huge balls.

[ThanatorRider]

Any resemblance between Stephen and persons in this room is completely intentional.

[TinnersMcTin]

No one laughed at the SUV joke.......hmmmm...........bre­ak out the big jokes

[sammylife12]

successful troller

[naryanr]

Ooooh maaan, Bush knows he is IN for it SO bad...

[eleanorbrownn]

brilliant.

[chickenpun]

This reaffirmed my belief that Stephen Colbert is the best person ever.

[DeadIslandTrailers]

to the faggot who uploaded this; fuck u for not raising the volume

[Pirat1190]

Did anybody else notice how awful everyone in the crowd's teeth were? Seriously, it's called orthodontics!  Laurence Fishburn, you have the money, I know you do!

[alternitivepat]

I feel a little bad for everyone there, they just don't know how to respond

funny as hell though

[bloody31234]

He mastered the way of the trollshido....

I am unworthy, I am filth *falls on his knees*

[RHargrave83]

Not to be negative here but seriously I didn't even crack a smile.

[1985MANAmericana]

@RHargrave83 No one is saying you have to crack a smile. Good satire isn't necessarily laugh-out-loud funny.

[Alexrodriguezist]

Hahaha! Ooh my God...I couldn't stop laughing.

[sooperfuntyme]

Hhahahaha, wow. Hes got some serious balls.

[siebenny]

win



[butteryfistful]

Colbert is simply amazing. Trolling not only the president but the entire right-wing.

[IcyScythe]

it makes it funnier that most of the audience is too scared or too offended to laugh at all the jokes

[1bamboozle]

Reaction from Bush when he hears "tonight, no one is safe" at 1:34 "oh shit..."

[mikeylikesit2675]

@1bamboozle your right!! i never saw that before!! that was sofa king awesome!!!!!

[bricbob1986]

@1bamboozle you can actually see him think "gulp"

[theUKatheist]

@1bamboozle he was probably thinking "AAHHH TERRORIST..DERP"

[nohaylamujer]

some folks were NOT amused...

[TheDrDilligaff]

You literally see the "Oh fuck what is he going to do" face on dubya at 1:34.

[TheCutie314]

I fucking love people.

[iFearN0thing]

Turn the fucken volume up on your video!



[2mmbroz]

Funny! please see my Stand up on my YouTube channel (Michael Zhang, 12 years old stand up comedian at Hollywood improv) Thanks!

[loopofpoop]

wow... just... wow...  I clap for joy for this man. And now I shall start watching the Colbert Report.

[wildarmschild]

Stephen Colbert for president.

[ducttapechik]

That is...amazing. Wow, to say the least. :D "Reality has a well-known liberal bias"...priceless.

[194jms]

DEFINITELY fast forward to 1:49.

[iHateThisShirt]

1:49 saves you time

[crop594]

wow man I love this. So great considering this was all in mocking to Republicans haha so great

[jacksonvile12345678]

Put that cracker on blast.

[MinisterAilingTongue]

@jacksonvile12345678 Writing that makes you either a severely limited retardate or just about the most gifted nigger breathing. I'm kidding--sort of. The contempt is real. Just a reminder about how stupid racial epithets read. Frankly, I have no idea who you are and have no desire to change that. Suck it, nigga. No conquering race required a REASON to defile and enslave the vanquished. They sometimes made up mystical reasons to suit themselves. Only the Europeans had proper reasons. So, FUCK OFF

[jacksonvile12345678]

@MinisterAilingTongue You have proven your ignorance and incompetence to the highest degree. Now go have your Fauther/Brother give you a hug and thank your Sister/Mother for your edumacation, because you have obviously worked rather hard to attain your Ph.D in internet douchebaggery. Congratulations, you sir are a fucking moron.

[tanman567]

i heard STEPHEN COLBERT questioned somebody so he lift him a BITTERSWEET SYMPHONY wink wink wink

[Heitrich]

bush looks so nervouse

[trana500]

Colbert trolling the president=EPIC WIN!!!!11!!!!1

[sethy888]

what makes this even better is the irony caused by the opening speech of the guy introducing Colbert....truly "fearless"

[whatthefuck386]

what happened to that video of him on helium?

[SeasonVelvet]

I could watch this an infinite amount of times.

[merelymyopinion1]

omg this is hillarious...he blasts Bush SO HARD. WOW. He's got so much courage...thank you Stephen Colbert!!

[anonymous8231508]

Demand results. Demand answers. It's your right.

[laz0r4321]

@anonymous8231508 faggot

[Jbob9954]

@XxissendaixX does your mom know youre on her computer?

[laz0r4321]

@XxissendaixX faggot

[laz0r4321]

@WhenAnonsOp faggot

[jetmusic879]

Ive watched this so many times because his huge balls amaze me every time.

[OHughTheManatee]

This belongs in the Library of Congress. File it under "S" for "Smackdown!"

[cangriman0101]

1:35 "Oh shit what have I gotten myself into?"

[paintedwarriors]

[samanthaonder]

@UTubeCommentsAreLOL its because hes last name is pronounced with a silent t at the end of colbert so his show drops the t too

[lilwill32995]

Why is no one laughing?
