Read that, and then scroll up to the top! Stephen Colbert has openly challenged the Decemberists to a green screen video battle (in which respective fans mix their two green screen videos for dominance). The winner: uncertain. Personally, I find this one of the most awesome things ever. I totally think QC should make a comment about this, but I digress. So, who would win? Colin Meloy and co., or Stephen Colbert?

After laughing myself silly with glee for several minutes...
Colbert has some of the most creative yet monstrously violent fans on Earth (myself included). I hope Colin and Co. are ready to have the most brutal parts of "The Mariner's Revenge Song" reenacted on their spines.
...mulch. hee hee.

um.. from my understanding... they're not really challenging eachother, Colbert is challenging people to put him into the Decemberists dealio.. so...yeah :]. anywho if they were to actually challenge one another, it's obvious that they would both just explode into tiny fragments and unite into one giant awesome-ness called "Decolberterists"? ?-end-

I cannot wait to see the outcome to this.

It will be great either way!

"Why can't they just be like every other indie rock band and rip off The Pixies?"

BURN!

Because the name of the band is not The Pixies, it's just Pixies.

/nitpicking

ALoveSupreme · « **Reply #7 on:** 01 Dec 2006, 21:22 »

but it probably wouldn't have made much sense when he actually said it on the show if he had just said 'Pixies' (as opposed to it being written in the article where capitolization is a bit of an aid... I would defend Stephen Colbert to the death).

ScrambledGregs · « **Reply #8 on:** 01 Dec 2006, 22:15 »

Yeah, I know, I say the Pixies all the time, and I find myself typing The Pixies all the time, too. I was just nitpicking and being a cock.

Literally.

Apple Muffin: Uh, in the past, as far as I know, coloured text has been reserved only for mods/admins.

(and not to be a jerk but what on earth does that last post have to do with the topic of this thread? Please ask yourself before you post, "Will anybody want to read this/is this relevant?" And please don't think I'm being hostile, we like having you around, just please be more careful next time)

Mark7 · « **Reply #12 on:** 04 Dec 2006, 00:09 »

Isn't Stephen Colbert the Daily Show guy?

greenMonkey · « **Reply #13 on:** 04 Dec 2006, 06:22 »

Honestly I think Colbert and The Decemberists would just end up killing each other. They are pretty evenly matched.

On one hand you've got Colbert' super witty commentary, and on the other you've got The Decemberists' "trademark brand of hyper-literate prog rock".

I don't know guys, I just don't know.

:] ? ? well, if you would please look at the fourth post on this thread you will see why I posted what I did, no it has nothing to do with the topic "muh bad" I was simply replying to a post, that's all. And where did it say that coloured font is reserved, haha jeez, it's just a forum

-end-

OH WAIT!! so this can be relevant, again, no one is going to win because it's NOT a competition. if you read the dealio then you'll see that if anyone were to "win" the only possible person would be Colbert because he's the only one actually being entered

Kicker of Elves · « **Reply #15 on:** 04 Dec 2006, 07:37 »

Colbert is just so much more cartoonishly vicious, though.

Patrick · « **Reply #16 on:** 04 Dec 2006, 18:37 »

Again, Apple Muffin, I'm not trying to be mean here. I'm trying to not get you in trouble/yelled at by people less understanding. Observe:

GENERAL POSTING GUIDELINES: Whenever I post on a forum, be it this one or others, I ask myself "Is this post something someone else would want to read?" Remember, we're here to interact with and entertain each other, not to hear ourselves talk.

P.S. Stephen Colbert's totally going to kick their ass.

Apple Muffin · « **Reply #17 on:** 04 Dec 2006, 20:29 »

ok KimJongSick guy, I don't think you're being mean :]

It say's to "interact with" others... um that's what I was doing haha replying to what some one had said... so I think that's interacting :].. "weee I win"

I myself love Colbert more than I love my selfworth so there (relevant I guess)

Patrick · « **Reply #18 on:** 06 Dec 2006, 16:00 »

...but you were replying to yourself?

But anyway, the way I see it, even if Colbert's green-screen thing is poorly produced (which I have no doubt it will be), it's going to bring many lulz.

Apple Muffin · « **Reply #19 on:** 07 Dec 2006, 04:34 »

haha no
the fourth post, not the third

and yes I agree with you Colbert is already funny, add some crappy green screen fx and BAM instant laffs

Patrick · « **Reply #20 on:** 15 Dec 2006, 09:56 »

Even if he completely fails and does an absolutely horrible job, it's still going to be hell-larious.

beat mouse · « **Reply #21 on:** 15 Dec 2006, 20:43 »

i can think of no situation in which colbert doing a terrible green screen would be anything short of intentional.

Bearer · « **Reply #22 on:** 18 Dec 2006, 09:52 »

Sorry to grave dig this old topic, but I just saw a commercial on comedy central for the Colbert report episode about this guitar battle between him and the Decemberists. 11:30 on the 20th. This is going to be amazing, I'm definitely going to record this!

THESE FORUMS NOW CLOSED (read only)

Poll
