stephen colbert did a "skibidi biden" bit, it's even worse than it sounds

Trump is using Hitler's language
So does Biden sometimes and he's actively facilitating a genocide so what's their point
- Both of them struggle putting together sentences in English, and now they're supposedly fluent in German?
  
  All the Germanic languages are just the same language with different accents
  
  Really? I'm going to have to reconsider my positions on them.
  No one who speaks German could be an evil man.
- German?
- Liberals lost the right to fixate on Trump's Hitlerite speech when Biden started talking about the "ancient desire" of "Hamas" to exterminate Jews.

What the fuck. This is one of the worst things I have ever seen.
- Also aren't the skibidi toilets the bad guys WHY IS THIS SO ON THE NOSE
  
  ALSO THIS WOULD BE BIDEN TOILET NOT SKIBIDI BIDEN OH MY GOD THE MORE I THINK ABOUT IT THE WORSE IT GETS
  
  At this point, I'm wondering if the poor editor and voice actor just realized they dug a ditch when it comes to Biden... (how does this pass; usually the MAGA people would put this stuff up)
  Just, wtf....
  
  There's a 0% chance anyone involved with the creation of this skit knows anything about Skibidi Toilet besides have their kid show them the first one
  
  Wait, they are? I thought the camera people were the bad guys lol. Always viewed the skibidi toilets like an insurgency fighting a repressive surveillance state backed by an evil empire. Full disclosure: haven’t watched any vids since last fall so maybe there’s something I missed.

I am brave and I watched it. Ummm. I have seen these skibdi memes. So not only this is unfunny. Its also not remotely trying to do the meme. There's no music.
I guess its supposed to be : oh its a head in a toilet. And also trump. Now laugh. Well its a reference to that one thing. The kids love it. Isn't it funny we are referencing it. Also trump. Whoa how funny is that.
Fuck this. Colbert should be legally denied from doing comedy.
- I feel like i might never think anything is funny again because this video ruined the concept for me
  
  this video ruined the concept for me
  why did china do this 😥

Not ever going to watch this, not even at gunpoint
- It's kinda worth it just to see how incredibly bad it manages to be. It's almost a work of art
  
  a work of tra
  
  Is it as bad as that video from another late night show of the MLK statue dancing because Biden got elected president?

That was the most cursed shit I have ever seen
Poor intern that had to animate that

Welp, the skibidi toilet meme is officially over. It lasted surprisingly a long time.

As a millennial I feel like I have to deeply apologize to the zoomers
Look, I swear he used to be funny. I shit you not, this isn't a
situation where he always sucked, he genuinely used to be pretty funny
Our generation should have taken Stephen Colbert out back and put him out of his misery years ago and I'm really sorry to you that we we didn't
Like this could have maybe worked for his old character if he was intentionally doing a bit about being old and out of touch but this is just sad
- It doesn’t matter that you should have, it matters that you didn’t. Say hi to Robespierre for us.
  
  I understand. All I ask is you make it quick. 🫡

Wow the only thing I've seen that comes remotely close to this is Ajit Pai with the fidget spinners seven years ago.
Pro tip for the libs: do not try to use the latest, hippest memes to paper over a gap in youth support that exists for material reasons.

I had to close it immediately
- yeah im like "why the fuck did i click on that"
  i was too sleepy now i have that echoing in my brain

how to delete someone elses post
- Siri, how to sue someone for making me watch something so bad that it hurt me physically?

It's only 18 seconds, but I couldn't make it to the end
- Same
  This evokes a visceral reaction from me

If you tell yourself Colbert is just doing the liberal counterpart to his Report character it's hilarious. The fact it's actually sincere is incredibly depressing.
These are the people who were supposed to be relying on to stop fascism.

Hide post. HIDE POST. where is the goddamn
- Gonna have to block OP. I'm sorry...
- If I ever create a pull request for Lemmy it will be to add this feature.

I'm gonna brush past everything else cringe in this to focus on one thing:
Not bothering to warp Biden's face in unsettling ways.
Commit to the bit you cowards! Like, if you're gonna do this whole soullessly gesturing at the internet trends of literal children, at least commit to the bit.
- we can't deface our beautiful president! that's against the rules.

Liberals really are unfunny hackfrauds
- Was this even an attempt at humor??
- When chuds make media for themselves it's completely unfunny bigotry but at least they seem to be enjoying it.
  Liberal humor is just doing what you think other people will think is funny even though you highly dislike it and convincing yourself that somehow makes you a better person.

I hate how Colbert introduces this nightmare. And then the video of course references trump.
"trump is using hitler's language"
Like it's a warning? It's not meant to be funny - just another thing for libs to remember shitty talking points that barely held to in 2020.

One can imagine Sisyphus taking up Kurt Cobain's mic....

"This failed to get the youths interested. How about Big Trumpus?"
- Damn, Big Trumpus would unironically make me laugh.
- Ugandan Keir Starmer
  
  We must end school lunches to know de wey

Gamer Protip: playing Tetris after witnessing a traumatic event can mitigate its long term effects

who the fuck sits on the writer team for this idiot? are they all as old and stupid as he is? what the fuck?
can they not hire someone who's under 30 and heavily internetpilled? why?
- Because their target audience is 30 to 45 year old libs.
  They intentionally wrote incredibly tame toothless jokes.
  It's the kids who would stand in a circle and whisper cuss words while giggling but for adults.
  
  yeah, i guess i'm in the target age range and i cant imagine watching it, so whoever does watch it has to be some kind of weirdo :D

I'm just...baffled. Did anyone who made this actually think it was funny? Did people laugh in the writer's room? I can't wrap my head around it. Like, I can at least understand edgelord humor. I, too, was once an edgy 13 year old who scrolled through /b/ and ED, so I get the appeal of "subversive" humor (which I now understand is literally the opposite of subversive, since it just reinforces existing power structures). But even if I try to put myself in the shoes of a #Resistance #MullerTime terminal TDS lib I just can't see what could possibly be funny about this.

Steven Colbert might be the most convincing argument against being yourself. All his output past the Colbert Report has been painful.
- Creating and playing a character is more fun anyway

This makes "Pokemon Go to the polls" look like amateur hour.
If it wasn't Joever before, it is now.
- AHA, the joever pile doesn't stop from getting taller

Like Biden could stay on topic for 18 seconds

stalin shouldn't have stopped at berlin

Who is this for? Skibidi toilet is just gmod YouTube poops for gen alpha, none of which are old enough to vote. Everyone else on the planet looks at skibidi toilet and goes "haha yeah those kids so weird haha"
- I thought Skibidi Toilet was neat

God is dead, and we have killed him

Some of you are alright. Don't go to the Ed Sullivan Theater tomorrow.

How to kill a meme in 18 seconds.

Wendy's commercial ass meme usage.

Skibidi Biden got me feeling like Spy's head in Medic's fridge

i can never watch this video

This video killed Spiderman.

Truly the most wittiest liberal

This is an image that would flash in your eyes during a liberal Ludovico technique

Biden is gonna come out on stage with the broccoli haircut and say "no cap on god" or whatever kids say these days. The bewildered silence will cause him to collapse into a corn singularity.
takes the stage.

Looks like I have something to talk about in group therapy today

If they really cared they would have made it in gmod

Adults my age and older watching that and thinking "I'm politically engaged but also have a quirky sense of humor"
I'm never going to recover from this video
