Stephen Colbert accepting his award / AP, ReutersPOLITICAL satirist Stephen Colbert has accepted the Webby Award’s Person Of The Year gong with a traditional five-word acceptance speech of: “Me, me, me, me, me.”
The Webby Award presentations are currently underway at a ceremony in New York where amateur YouTube celebrities rub shoulders with famous musicians and media personalities to collect the internet’s top honours.
Each year Webby Award winners are limited to giving an acceptance speech of just five words, leading to some memorable quotes and cringe-worthy jokes.
. . .
But perhaps the best taunt of the night was left to the staff of The New York Times website, who used their speech to thank former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer.
“Eliot Spitzer we thank you,” was the team’s speech.
. . .
Way to celebrate yourself (and sing yourself), Stephen!

Hahaha the “Has anyone seen my pants?” speech is awesome. Of course, as is “Me, me, me, me, me!”.
