Colbert Takes Glenn Beck's End Times Scenarios To The 'Doom Bunker' (VIDEO)

If the Daily Show wasn't locking down their Peabody Award for the year last night, surely someone out there is getting ready to honor Stephen Colbert for his pants-wettingly hysterical parody of the Glenn Beck Show, which aired a half-hour later. From Beck's new perch at Fox News, he's been allowed to air some pretty INSANE things. Honestly, it's a great gig if you can get it, and my hat's off to Beck for really doubling down on the lunatic content. Life's short! Go hard and go crazy and go ahead with strange crackpotty segments like the "GLENN BECK WAR ROOM" where you "game out" a bunch of doomy scenarios with the Wall Street Journal's Stephen Moore and the spooky Gerald Celente of the Trends Research Institute.

If anything, Colbert demonstrated that Beck has only begun to maximize the potential of these periodic ruminations of the apocalypse. Joined by Moore and Colonel Jack Jacobs, Colbert laid out the Next Level of Fear. Soybean currency! Koalapox! Werewolf Congresses! A Kansas-Mexico Axis! DECEPTICONS WILDING OUT IN THE STREET. And fog, FOG, FOG!!

Swear to you, I had to watch this twice to experience all of the truthiness.

Is there a technical word for ?

When did this start? When Bernard Shaw asked Dukakis, in his debate with Bush I, what would you do if your wife was raped and murdered? Or with Reagab's popular fairy tale about the Cadillaac driving "welfare queen"?

That is what Beck is doing, inventing ludicrous futures, absurd, improbable futures

This was masterful by Colbert, Swiftian, especially at the end asking what if it works, what if "socialism" works (like it did in Europe for 50, 60 years)?

[kdlaiusa]

People like Beck, Hannity and Limbaugh should be exposed and ridiculed everyday. They do nothing but to destroy this country.

[mizerello]

This was one of the funniest Reports ever. I did have to change my panties after this one and watching the WSJ hack try to participate in a joke on him was even funnier.

[MadeleineA]

Steven Moore is one of the greatest minds around? Okaaaay.

[ModerateMouse]

Beck's guest predicted we would be overrun by "ignorant, functionally illiterate wacked out hillbillies with nothing to lose?"

When are people going to stop making fun of the Palins.

[widdles]

I saw both Beck's piece and Colbert's. The entire time I was watching Colbert's piece, I was laughing hysterically. Man he nailed it completely! And I loved the reactions from both of the guests. Priceless!!

[NotYourGirlfriend]

"Ignorant, illiterate, wacked-out hillbillies with nothing to lose, terrifying! On the other hand.. more viewers for Faux News".

Bwahahahahhaha.. My side still hurts from laughing so hard.

[Right-turn]

Dow 12,000 in 2012..........Now that is funny!

[AndThenOneDay]

Must be hard to have no toe-hold anywhere in popular culture. Except goober music and Nascar.

[HoneyRyder]

LMAO

[slahiri]

I wonder if the people of Kolkata aka Calcutta realise they are a group of whacked out, illiterate hilly billies who populate the doom city of the future?
Calcutta native growing soybeans in the US.

[MajorKong]

"War room"? Why the heck does EVERYTHING have to be some kind of a war/military metaphor with these people?

[PoliSciJunkie]

Because they have diminutive sexual organs to match their diminutive social maturity . Why else does Rush Limbaugh smoke such large cigars and get divorced that many times?

[Bramble8]

Amazing!

[rikkirighteous]

I hope Colbert gets around to mocking those crazy Global Warmists and all their End Times scenarios.

That'd be a hoot! We're down to minutes, I hear. Ha ha ha!

[shanghaislim]

Yeah......­..........­......ok..­..........­..........­.........s­ure.......­..........­..........­..........­..........­........yo­u probably believe Darwin was some cook high on goof balls?

[cinesimon]

Gosh darn science, huh - CRAAAYYYYZZZZZYYYY!

[valkyrie607]

Yeah, cuz it was sooo funny when Glenn Beck cited all those peer-reviewed scientific studies to back up his crazy wacked-out scenarios...

[slarabee]

What can one say about a man like Glenn Beck? ChickenHawk.

[rejoiceinit]

Did you hear that d. ick Stephen Moore say that losing New York would be a bonus? Unbelievable.

[cloudminder]

"losing NY would be a plus" that's what he said

and yes it made my skin crawl

[IsaacKuo]

I watched with a total lack of mirth and an abundance of extreme displeasure.

Everyone knows that the cars are the good AUTOBOTS, not the evil DECEPTICONS.

As such, having the country overrun by giant transforming Cameros would be a GOOD thing, not a BAD thing.

I have taken the liberty of redubbing your segment...

[PW1206]

So, are you saying that Starscream is really an F-22, and the USS Ronald Reagan may well be a floating Devestator?

Hold me...
