fuck yeah stephen colbert
“ But don’t be afraid to be a fool. Remember, you cannot be both young and wise. Young people who pretend to be wise to the ways of the world are mostly just cynics. Cynicism masquerades as wisdom, but it is the farthest thing from it. Because cynics don’t learn anything. Because cynicism is a self-imposed blindness, a rejection of the world because we are afraid it will hurt us or disappoint us. Cynics always say no. But saying yes begins things. Saying yes is how things grow. Saying yes leads to knowledge. Yes is for young people. So for as long as you have the strength to, say yes.

Stephen Colbert and Steve Carell sing The Star-Spangled Banner
“We fight over who gets to hump who.”
Gotta love Colbert’s mastery of the single eyebrow lift.
So what’s up with Stephen Colbert’s ear anyway?
Note: this was drawn shortly after he received his Iraq haircut.
“ Not to get too deep here, but the most valuable thing I can think of is to be grateful for suffering. That is a sublime feeling, and completely inexplicable and illogical, but no one doesn’t suffer. So the degree to which you can be aware of your own humanity is the degree to which you can accept, with open eyes, your suffering. To be grateful for your suffering is to be grateful for your humanity, because what else are you going to do — say, “No, thanks”? It’s there. “Smile and accept,” said Mother Teresa. And she was talking to people who had it rough. That’s not how you make jokes, though.

Jon: Stephen! Woah! Boom! Stephen!
Stephen: No, Jon. Not tonight. I have a headache.
Jon: What the hell, man? We do this, like, twice a week! Just come on, just a quicke. Come on.
Stephen: What can I say, Jon? I’m not in the mood!
Jon: Look, I’m… I’m sorry, baby. Is there something I’m doing. Is there something bothering you?
Stephen: No! No…
Jon: Then let’s do this! Come, on. Let’s do this!
Stephen: You want to do the toss even though you know I don’t want to do it?!… You are disgusting! I am going to sleep!
Jon: Oh, great! That’s just great! You know what? You go ahead and sleep and I’ll just- like I always do - just go to the back and do the toss myself!… I’m not sure what we’re talking about anymore
