Air America Host Sues Stephen Colbert

[MrSantiagodunbar]

not to through internet offence but i highly dout that cobert has time to watch your lame show....cobert would run fukkin circles around u in any discusiion period.

[animekitten1988]

I'm not sure weather to take this seriously or not.

[antoang15]

all you libs are a bunch of morrons and drones.

[rdicko86]

if he did steal it, at least he did it some justice!!

[BlueJellyzhn]

you are so so so lame..

[stpeppers]

haha are you serious ?

[Dakarn]

Stephen's was funnier.  You're a douche.

[wmg111]

2007: You should feel honored and be proud.

You're on your way.

Three years later....

TYT is still relevant and so is Colbert.

Well done to both I say..

[TrutherD1]

Stephen Colbert talks about the secretive Bilderberg group on the air! This man has balls of steel. watch?v=WyhCtbAuHbk

[10kzebra]

Kind of petty.

[JM111787]

LOL that ending made me laugh out loud. but what is not funny are the comments on here from people who don't relalize that Cenk is joking. I capital "L" Love the Colbert Report but you other outraged fans are at a 10 when you need to be at a 2. Calm down, Cenk is joking chill out.

[greatamerican1776]

i wounder if this homos co workers at target know he is the keith olberdouche of youtube?

[fantamas07]

I've tried to listen to this show, but couln't stand it, it's boring as shit. Get off the air dude.

[fantamas07]

I've tried to listen to this show, but couln't stand it, it's boring as shit. Get off the air dude.

[OpposableTongues]

I'm sorry, was what you said a joke, Mr. Turk?

[eidius1989]

no one wants to see you just show the damn video

[feedyourmind420]

holy crap you guys need to chill the fuck out, Cenk (the host) is kidding, hes a big stewart colbert fan, hes juss fucking around

[manuellevinsholden]

colbert is funnier

[CyberVigilant3]

This internet TV guy is a pathetic little douche bag without 1/1000 of a percent of Colbert's talent and humor.  fuck off dude no one watches your dumbass show.

[margiee96]

steven did it betterrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

but the guy was jokingg

dont freak outtt ((:

[DarkPractitioner]

Commentators are idiots like always in here, no one seems to understand sarcasm.

[roriek01]

get a life dude. jokes get stolen and filtered by people all the time.

[teddybearninja]

The premise of the jokes are the same. Fact of the matter is, though, that Colbert's had better delivery. Being mad about a stolen joke is one thing, but if it's better than the old one... THIS much better... then I wouldn't have bothered embarrassing myself by pointing it out.

[MICHAELMEMISBACL]

Who has watched enough Star Trek TNG and not heard this word spoken from "Klingon" lips: HONOR?

[xSoulslayerx]

hahahahahahaha way to go all "American" and sue for nothing. Stealing a joke? Only you could have thought of that? What about the millions of people that watch Star Trek??? You really think you're the only person who thought that? Not only is that arrogant but it is outright idiotic. It's not really stealing when the first time wasn't funny at all.

[bbenny1990]

But when colbert says it its actually funny

[crazenate]

You idiots obviously can't see that he's joking

[mint83]

*sigh* With all of the important things to cover out there, you're butt-hurt that Colbert may have 'stolen' 1 joke which you put forward?

Please, grow up. This sounds like something you would hear a teenager whining about in the hallways of a high school. You should be above this.

[mikamai]

I'm pretty sure he was kidding. It's called sarcasm.

I think he was just psyched that Colbert noticed the same joke as he did.

[NOmeansnoFAN]

they do sound like klingons, a deranged monkey can see that, like on sept 7th one did!

[LedChilli]

This guy should find a new job... Who watches his show... Wow

[phoisgreat]

Everyone who thinks this is serious should smash their face against a wall.

Everyone who took that last suggestion seriously should now seriously do it.

[420y2k]

your a fag colberts the shit and your a greasy packi

[technolust14]

Hm. There was a difference between the two jokes. Colberts was funny.

[DarkSage44]

Either he stole your joke, or he came up with it himself and didnt notice you used it because your a terrible low budget internet show that no one ever cares to look at. Im guessing the latter.

[Dane42o]

@DarkSage44 You seemed to care enough to not only look at it, but comment on it. :)

[MopacMurtaza]

@DarkSage44

HAhHA, Relax they were just kidding.

[life78257]

I rolled O.J. style way before this twat. I'm sueing

[SirCaptainJoey2112]

I don't see how this was a stolen joke, a joke is funny you Mr. Turk or whatever your name is, not big or important enough to learn never mind remember. Colbert was funny thus making it sound and LOOK more like a joke.

[SpisadKoTunga]

Wasnt that hard to come up with that joke, lol.

Damn turks! :P

[LazyRWT]

is he joking about sueing or is he just an old smelly douchebag?

[lowfatfishsticks]

hes joking.. obviously. if you watch the program.

[NOmeansnoFAN]

both

[milnerla]

this guy is a douche bag

[tanzo1]

There's a reason this guy is on the internet... he's an idiot.

[wssher]

Colbert's awesome Cenk sucks balls...

[Yukonpiggy]

everybody calm down..... its just a joke.

[mikehuizar15]

his shit kicked your shit's ass! your not funny...

[Dani2274]

I doubt he "stole" it, it probably just so happened that you both thought of the same thing when you saw the footage...it wasn't that great of a joke anyway...not to mention his delivery was much better regardless of who the joke "belongs" to...I don't even watch Star Treck, and I'm not comedian and I could have come up with that...get over yourself dude...

[mrbriscoe2001]

Not yet at the Carlos Mencia level..

[NewAgeEagles]

O GOD..... he stole your joke, so what, have you come down to being so much like a 4th grade tattle tale, who gives a shit.

its called maturity, try it

[LeeCalif]

Chill bill !

[Silentsam7532]

Colbert is the best thing to ever come out of the USA.

[darrentoth]

anyone that thinks Cenk is actually suing Colbert doesn't follow the show. Sorry to break the mood and all, but, this misunderstanding is both funny and sad...its what is happening to the American Dialogue and why comedians are so damn rich these days..

[crusader8463]

It was an obvious joke that anyone could have thought up. The peps at CS are well known nerds so I'm sure there was at least one trekki amongst them who saw this and came up with the same thing. As soon as i saw the clip of them talking i thought of star trek.

[MashCarl]

That is dumb. Who cares were the joke came from, Colbert did a much better job telling it.

[Cryptlord91]

i wanan anal rape the turk

[ValeraPenguin]

omg......this isn't funny....

[costanza187]

I guess this show is their only alternative to suicide. I wish they would choose the latter.

[sternumagnum]

I wonder if people without a sense of humor should be allowed to comment on humorous videoclips. There should be a filter...

[interronaldo09]

possession is 9/10 of the law and colbert owned the shit out of that joke.... all about delivery, loser

[iamthejen]

Hey turk, are you just hurt because Colbert is more popular and MUCH funnier than you are?

[southphillyjim]

he gave your valuable joke a well needed upgrade

[EnergizerBunny804]

I can't belive this vid has such a low rating, calm da fuck down people, and take a joke

[TheDiMono]

The satire, I can taste it.

[GlenAPacey]

I m so sick of looking for quality video and finding cruddy young turks. Idiots.

[chriskun86]

He's joking you dimwitted fools! God people can be so dense sometimes.

[topgun1988]

Host = MASSIVE DOUCHEBAG

fat guy with attitude so pathetic, why not care about your self rather then your extremely shit material,

your a joke.

[bukon90]

it was a joke everyone so lets bring it down from 10 to a 2.

[snarnold1]

@bukon90

ahhaha classic!!!!!!!!

and true!!!

[TMDLex]

news flash. no one cares

[mmajunkie77]

Glad these fuck-tards went out of business...

[GovernmentSham912]

i wonder if obama would bailout Air America

[rickthaluddite]

Air America might have shut down, but the young turks are still alive and well.

[zerobeat18]

The funniest part is the semi-literate comments here, from folks who apparently don't know it's a joke. Bravo, Mr. Uygur.

[yourdukes]

ur a fucking liar u suck dick steven colbert owns u and ur mom

[Weaknamed]

Turkeys turkeys taste great.

[defargo]

get a life faggot

[sbroggie]

Ha Ha! Too bad Air America died yesterday. Adios!

[nickmiller31]

This guy sucks.

[amog45780]

To bad everyone loves Colbert u dumbass.

[bohdifrompointbreak]

LOL Bankrupt

[TheInterminable1]

You think you where the only ones to tie the repetition of "honor" to clingnons?

Startrek was huge during Colberts time, im sure he was a big fan.

[skysteiner]

god this guy is annoying and obnoxious

[abartolini1]

65 million is how much this douchebag spends on roids every year. anger problem anyone? go spend more time in the gym fag your shows garbage

[stevecarelllover]

You should be glad that more than two people who listen to Air America heard 'your' joke. Imitation is the best flatter or something like that, right? COLBERT OWNS YOU!!!!

[undeadspeed]

Trash!

[DeamonCohln]

You don't own Star Trek jokes cunt.

[sgibbs1989]

this dude was totally joking, and you guys fell for it!!

[GimmeMyGibson]

hm... turns out it wasn't funny... what are the odds?

[CultMovieFreak]

Too bad everyone loves Stephen and no one gives a shit about you

[gigantipithicus1]

im sorry i even clicked on this link....GOD i hate these amature fuckoos!!! Colbert......with HONOR!

[RTKaczor]

Colbert is the best...don't even try. this versioln of a joke, sucked. Colbert owns it

[MuscleBound46]

Isn't Colbert great!!!

Oh I'm sorry who did this shmuck say he was again?

Case closed.

[gabestinks]

Honestly dude you need to let it go. 1- hes acctualy funny. 2- the guys got a huge fanbase and people are gonna hate you for this. I dont know who you are and I dont intend to watch your bullshit show ever again. COLBERT FOR PRES IN 2012!!!!!

[ConnickProductions]

@gabestinks hell yeah, plus they were just pointing out that the guy said honor on the colbert report it had little to do with the fact that he was a clingon, and stephen colbert used the clip to say giulliani looked like a clingon

[arethereanymorenames]

HE WAS JOKING YOU IDIOT

[TJmck1217]

I usally give TYT massive props for their vids, but these are different jokes. Yeah the theme to theme is the klingons, but Stephen actually executed a joke. You made a mere statement, stating that they sounded like klingons.

Colbert - 1

TYT- Zero

[QualityXmediaDotCom]

this massive @sshat dares to compare himself to Colbert? ....

[dtaylo56]

For one the jokes aren't even that similar, they both have references to clingons, although through different methods. I'm pretty sure any argument you could make wouldn't hold up in court seeing as Colbert never even mentions clingons. One thing you could take from Colbert is Tact.

I think this guy just wants the Colbert bump

[respectablegentleman]

are you going to sue George Lopez because he stole your skin tone?

[TA14um]

Alright bud, whoever the fuck you are. first of all, you aren't even remotely funny. secondly, there is little to no evidence he "stole" a joke from you. if you go down that road, where does it end? can a 21st century band be sued for being inspired by the rolling stones? no. get a real fucking job and stop embarrassing yourself.

[MagicSeal]

vv this.

[forcedentry20]

...He used a picture of a Klingon. Did you invent Klingons? No? Oh okay. Then he didn't steal shit from you. You're not funny enough in the first place to compare yourself to Stephen Colbert.

[GutsTaijo]

Stephen Colbert is still funnier than you.

[goodfella161]

what a silly man. you arent a speck on colbert.

[evilestmonkeey]

might be a joke but not apparent at all thats the same fake outrage shown in all his material went to his page and thats all thats posted if this 2 min bit of childishness was a joke it was waaaaay off the mark leave it to these tools to mock the concept of honor to make a pathetic attemp at a joke Go back to staring at your cohosts tits

[mcgradam]

How can't you tell that he isn't being serious!?!? Its a joke!

[divinity6]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAH wooooooow man you are a dumb human being. i am pretty sure steven colbert hasnt even heard of you... he probably thought of the same joke since he did use it in a totally different way. they were saying "honor" alot so its not very hard to come up with joking abt it by refering to cleons. You sir are going to waste ur time. ahahahahah if you do sue colbert you are gonna lose 100%

[groundsman]

holy crap you people don't get that this is a joke!!! hahaha

[TheStoicAgnostic]

yeah that OJ style comment was pretty lame

that did look stolen though

Colbert has better delivery

that's what matters

[jwabsolution]

up against the wall

i roll oj style

what a douche

1 - if you want to seem hood take off your suit fag

2 - colbert likely knows more about me than he does you. and I dont post videos of myself acting like an idiot on youtube

[Xiphias52]

Hey, at 1.23, I recognise that sound clip - it's the leader of the Germanic tribes presenting a severed head at the beginning of the film 'Gladiator'. It's not Klingon. Did you Young Turks check you had the copyright to that before you put it online? Otherwise, you suing Colbert will pale into insignificance compared to the almighty lawsuit brought against you by Ridley Scott...

Also, not very funny.

[elysium735]

You just pwned by being a bigger nerd than everyone. Well done.

[Xiphias52]

Yeah. Well, I was studying Ancient History at the time the movie came out, so I paid fairly close attention to it. Still, nice to know my nerdishness, and the study of a subject everyone told me was useless in the real world, has finally paid dividends. Score!

[elysium735]

Well if you're looking to make money, Ancient History sucks (unless you're Nicolas Cage). If you like being well-educated, it's not so bad.

[LeninReturns]

Hey. Young Turks. You are an idiot.

[marsqueezy]

This guy is wack, NOT funny at all. Colbert is THE BEST!

[WonModeerf]

Stephen Colbert is much funnier than you, and it's extremely likely he does not even know you but has seen star trek or whatever the hell that show is.

[Tales23]

Like he would watch your stupid ass show.

[Tarin597]

DUDE! i think colbert wouldnt have time to watch this lameass show...just saying

[bob80108]

He's joking...probably to start a fake feud with Colbert for publicity

[mabak247]

damn his guy is a moron...wtf? ur shit aint even funny.... idt u copyrighted the damn joke. ur joke is retarded and mokes no sense... colbert is hilarious. ur just dumb as fuck

[Messenger33]

The difference is Colbert's joke was actually funny.

[tgdj21]

wow, i hope this is a joke on your part, because your looking like the lamest person on youtube

[urboboy]

The fact that Colbert's show is funny is proof that their writers never watch your show. Keep wishing....dream a little dream...lala!

[hollywood1199]

LOL, gangsta pat

[DawnLaurene]

The thing about great humor is that there is always an element of truth, and obviously you think that you're the only human who happened to see that clip and liken it to the Klingon's. Colbert obviously has the staff and the resources to get it to a broader audience. Jealous much. You are ridiculas in your rant, and wasting air space. Please, quit breathing.

[Dizzleskateyo]

Ok he stole a joke....WHO GIVES A FLYING FUCK!!! dude get over it!. Yours wasn't funny, so he took your joke and made it funny!

[Vertigo027]

This is retarded. Who the hell are you? Colbert > this crap anyday

[AddictoEnvy]

seeing this guy act like a dumbass was almost as entertaining as colbert's show

[goonerLIFE1]

wow. i actually like TYT , but ... r u serious?

colbert > TYT , ANYDAY

[scarrygarcia92]

That was not the same joke at all. It had one linking factor, that's it. Don't flatter yourself by thinking Steven Colbert would watch your show just to take your jokes.

[Kylestyle05]

it was a joke. let me guess you're a conservative?

[JustinViBritannia]

I would take it as a compliment that Colbert liked your material lol

[djbtak]

OK, your jokes are similar, but I bet if we looked, we could find at least one more person who wrote a joke that's close to your's and Colbert's.

But I'm with TheToughBrets (jokes name by the way), the jokes may be based on the same humorous concept and idea, but Stephen version is funny, while your joke seems forced and it isn't really funny.

I'd watch your back for the wrath of Kahn and the wrath of Colbert. Then again, if you weren't so small time, he might've responded to your accusation.

[timpipe]

Agreed, as if there was no other Star Trek fan in the world who would make the same connection a couple of days apart. Syncronicity, my friend, is amplified in out modern world.

[TheToughBrets]

I wouldn't call it "stealing" as much as "re-purposing." He took a comment made by this unfunny clod who lacks even the remotest vestige of charisma and made it worth listening to. Whether this guy is joking is irrelevant as all it adds up to is some no-name loser riding the coattails of one of the more clever guys in entertainment right now.

[djbtak]

jokes name.

[chuckinator0]

I laughed at Colbert's segment but not this guy's

[discworld]

This might be something Cenk regrets he ever recorded.

[Socco87]

this guy serious? lol

[2009sammyj]

ahah stephen didnt steal it, he jus made it alot better

[XxSoldierSidexX]

This dude sucks. Colbert wins, hands down.

[nhllover885]

I know he's joking, because he probably knows Stephen Colbert doesn't watch an internet news show...

[cottoncandy8763]

i think stephen just made this joke more funny

[schang39]

Colbert is a funny mofo. Wait, who is "Theyoungturks" again. Luis Who?

[FengxianLeTerrible]

tyt are good people, know them good sir

[CrystalSoulslayer]

If Stephen really did steal your joke, which he didn't, then you should be honored that someone from the Report actually bothered to come watch your piddly-ass little production. You think because you have a YouTube channel and some of Jon Stewart's leftovers stop by to watch you fumble your way through painfully awkward jokes, that makes you funny? You aren't funny. You're the worst part about your program. You're suffering from Unwarranted Self-Importance, and need to shut your fucking face.

[FengxianLeTerrible]

silence you heathen

[CrystalSoulslayer]

Brilliant retort.

[FengxianLeTerrible]

indeed, and thanks for the -1

[CrystalSoulslayer]

You're welcome. Since you were kind enough to give me one, I thought I'd return the gesture.

[FengxianLeTerrible]

sadly, that wasnt me, i dont + or - comments

[CrystalSoulslayer]

Oh. My bad, my retribution was misplaced. Sadly, there's nothing I can do, as YouTube won't let me cancel my thumbs down.

[AdamCT3]

I love the Young Turks show. So I was surprised to see this. All this time I thought Cenk (whatever his name is) was a reasonable laid back guy. Turns out he's an immature little boy who thinks he's the only Star Trek fan in the whole wide world. At least Colbert made a funny joke about the same observation you and all other Star Trek fans made. Back the fuck off Cenk.

[ThePsychoguy]

I think Cenk is being sarcastic in his suing Colbert.

[MisterFezMartin]

You may have done the joke first, but Colbert did it better.

Do you honestly think that Stephen Colbert or any of his writers actually watch crappy Youtube videos to come up with their jokes? Isn't it possible that they just happened to make the same obvious observation that the Republicans were harping on about honor like Klingon's? You must have some sort of ego to make claims like that.

Also, terrible job reading the teleprompter at the begining.

[ReynoldsPool1]

To whoever is in this video: Go suck on the cock you came from.

[jerryhello100]

I doubt that it was stolen. Colbert did it a lot funnier though.

[WarriorFetus]

I'm kinda disappointed in the young turks with this video.

[calebam]

He didnt steal it. He turned it into a joke. And look at you thinking that people watch your internet thing, bless!

[bethgeal1982]

Its important to note, Colbert's joke was funny and actually made me laugh unlike yours.

[Schuler25]

It's actually a very easy joke to come up with, especially with the movie that recently came out. I suggest you remove this video to salvage whatever reputation you might have left. On second thought, you could choose to keep it up for the lulz. The lulz are what's really important after all.

[dravarian26]

You can't go against Colbert without being prosecuted by million in Colbert Nation. Besides you think stephen or his writers have even heard of this shitty show.

[SuperObama2012]

if you listen sir..you will hear the sound of nobody caring..you can not steal a joke, freedom of speech and all that, jesus

[FinalHeresy]

maybe it was just a coincidence? like that's never happened before in the history of time. Stephen didn't even steal a  joke he just happened to make a reference to star trek just like this Air America douchebag did.

[QuarkToo]

I know who Colbert is but I don't care who that air america loser is. Amy Goodwin I LIKE.

[Nemostor]

sssshhhhh...did you hear that?.....its the sound of....nobody caring

[vandal919]

i actually hate this guy, whether he's serious or not, i have yet to see a video of him in which he doesn't come across as an absolute, total, utter douchebag.

[TomAndJanieBrode]

Welcome to obscurity......oh.....mother fucker!

[caboosefanatic]

ya... he sure stole that joke, cause like, no one could think up of that after watching A DIFFERENT POLITICIAN.

[kivo2003]

Get over yourself, anchor.

[Kan2209]

hehe Good one :)
