It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

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?

[–] [email protected] 33 points 4 months ago (1 children)

All the Germanic languages are just the same language with different accents

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....

[–] [email protected] 25 points 4 months ago

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

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.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I feel like i might never think anything is funny again because this video ruined the concept for me

That was the most cursed shit I have ever seen

Poor intern that had to animate that

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

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

[–] [email protected] 51 points 4 months ago (1 children)

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 smurf-cursed 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.

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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 42 points 4 months ago (1 children)

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.

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.

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?

[–] [email protected] 33 points 4 months ago (1 children)

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.

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.

This makes "Pokemon Go to the polls" look like amateur hour.

Steven Colbert might be the most convincing argument against being yourself. All his output past the Colbert Report has been painful.
