[NEWS} steven colbert fired

[SeventhSandwich]

he didn't get "triggered"

least I think he didn't

I mean he's had public media tantrums over negative portrayals in the past. But it's only 'triggered' when a liberal gets pissed.

this is like the oldest Annoying Orange joke around next to "small loan of a million dollars"

he didn't get "triggered"

least I think he didn't

He literally called his boys at the FCC to take Colbert off the air because he made a joke about him being gay with Putin

I don't know how you look at that and say "well he isn't really that thinskinned"

Except we don't know if he "literally called his boys at the FCC", because that's part of the Snopes article that was debated/false

this
we don't know why the FCC is investigating anything
there's nothing to investigate, so i don't know why they're doing it in the first place, he just made generic "funny" Annoying Orange insults for like 10 minutes but whatever

He didn't. I don't even remember him making any comments about the joke. I've only seen Annoying Orange supporters getting up in arms about it to "give the other side a taste of their medicine", which, eh, whatever, who cares. It's a dumb joke. No one cares.

You remove Colbert and they will replace him with another mouthbreathing handicap.

all the furor I've seen online has actually been lefties calling it "homophobic"

which I don't even know how you get past the anti-Annoying Orange message as a leftie and come to that conclusion

Except the_donald which made a concerted effort to label the joke as homophobic.

Well the joke was that Annoying Orange sucks Putin's richard, and that's funny because sucking richard is humiliating. It's homophobic.

I don't like Annoying Orange and I think the joke wasn't right. Colbert already has a history of being a stuffty transphobe though so it didn't really change my thoughts about him.

It sort of is, but that subreddit has no right trying to call anything homophobic.

It's not objectively anything. That's only your interpretation.

[IkeTheGeneric]

Also can we just appreciate just how blatantly bullstuff and silly this topic was? Like just straight up "Steven Colbert was fired" and if you google it, it shows that he definitely wasn't fired.

Lord Tony in perfect form hehe

If the joke is about Annoying Orange being subservient to Putin, then it still seems forgeted up to me. It's par for the course though, lots of liberal comedians think it's okay to body-shame Annoying Orange (i think his stuffty hairstyle/spray tan is fair game though) too. I'd like to hear an interpretation of it that doesn't at least have forgeted up undertones though

This pun sucks

Tony is the next Sam Hyde
