Scoop! ‘The Colbert Report’ writers release “Videologblog: Writers Strike”
By
We’ve been tipped off by Peter G. and Frank L. to a new strike vid (and that looks suspiciously like another ‘Peter G.‘ in the video, itself):
How much of a kick am I getting out of the tags on these? Uh, “hunglikebluewhale” . . . ?

The crazy love goes to the writers and our oh-so-anonymous tipsters. :)
A “non-endangered birthday tiger”? Hee!

Another great clip-thanks writers! (Is it wrong that whenever I see that Peter G, I start to crave a Toaster© sandwich?)

You know, it was bad enough when I took my kid to NYC and he met Peter G. and told everyone that he met him for weeks. It’s bad enough I have a nine year old that does “Top of the Hat, Wag of the Finger” our pets, and has a “Monkey on the Lam” signed photo up on his bedroom wall.
I now have a nine year old that’s also running through the house yelling “Residuals??! Residuals?!!”. THANKS, PETER!
As if my 9 year old wasn’t weird enough, he’s now trying to explain to his friends why they should support the Writer’s Strike.
I swear, they’re gonna run us out of town.
Stay strong, guys. :)

Seriously, I want a jet pack download…
Someone get on that.
Oh yeah, the writers need jet packs too. Make a note, AMTP. JET PACKS. I want to see flying writers. Let’s go.

Funny stuff…and damn close to the producers’ actual ‘logic’ (Hey!….they’re only Generally ‘Accepted’ Accounting Principles…not laws!!!!……so if we say the costs haven’t been recovered yet, they haven’t been recovered….yet…)
….*big sigh*….fasten your seatbelts, ladies and gentlemen, I think it’s gonna be a long, bumpy ride….*sad face*…..

@looped linear
I think you may be right, unfortunately. I hate to say it, but I’m thinking January, maybe February they’ll start talking again. *sigh* Let’s hope I’m dead wrong.

Wow. This along with the video from the TDS writers really stays in line with each group’s respective brand of humor while attacking the issue at hand: the strike.
The TDS writers deconstruct the false reality that the AMPTP creates to break through the absurdity.
The TCR writers illustrate the false reality that the AMPTP creates to show the absurdity.
God I miss them…

My dad worked at a Pizza Hut when his company went on strike in between the picket lines. So I know how bad this is hurting the Blue Collar Underbelly who are foundation makers the machine.
Remember never be to proud to flip a Burger, Deliver Newspapers or Shine a Pair of Shoes to feed yourelf & your family when crazy sh*t like this happens.
BLESSINGS TO YOU ALL!!!
*HUGS*

Are my ears deceiving me or is the dog’s name “Mogul”??? Too funny. I agree with MrTigger. They kept “Stephen’s” take on the issue perfectly. I can hear him on the “endangered birthday tiger” line.

How dare you make a network executive cry! Non-endangered birthday tigers? You might as well ask them to eat out of the garbage!
You unionized writers make me sick! Eating your exotic, what do you call them, homburgars? Riding around in your massive soobway trains? What, caviar and Rolls-Royces not good enough for you? Your decadent lifestyles are simply disgusting.

@mrtigger001, I’d been trying to articulate similar thoughts about the two youtube videos, and then came here and you expressed it so perfectly!
