Line 40:
* [[Marty Stu]]: Tek Jansen, hero of Colbert's [[Space Opera]] novel, which is presented on the show in the form of animated shorts, and has inspired a [[Spin-Off]] [[Graphic Novel]].
* [[Memetic Badass]]: Stephen Colbert isn't afraid of the truth. The truth is afraid of Stephen Colbert... [[Critical Research Failure|and rightfully so]].
* [[Memetic Mutation]]: Any mention of the word "bias" on [[Reddit]] is likely to attract people to quote Colbert "reality has a literal bias", even if it's about clearly biased things like an AI chat bot that was trained to answer on a certain way by creators that certainly had a bias. It basically turned to into a mantra to claim right-wingers are all dumb and/or evil.
* [[Memetic Sex God]]: He
* [[Misaimed Fandom]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20100612083107/http://hij.sagepub.com/cgi/content/abstract/14/2/212 Sadly, there exist people who somehow take Colbert at face value.]
** There are many neocons who take everything Colbert says in-character at face value. And even after they're told that he's just [[Alter Ego Acting]], [[Too Dumb to Live|they refuse to believe it]].
* [[Moral Event Horizon]]: Parodied. In order to be named Keith Olbermann's "Worst Person In The World" Colbert promises to slap a baby. [[Complete Monster|With a puppy]]. The actual slapping is conspicuously covered up by a "[[Relax-O-Vision|Technical Difficulties]]" screen...
Line 52 ⟶ 53:
* [[Tear Jerker]]: Stephen's [http://www.colbertnation.com/the-colbert-report-videos/399182/october-06-2011/tribute-to-steve-jobs email] to Steve Jobs is a rare moment of somberness.
* [[True Art]]: When [[Steve Martin]], an art collector himself, visited to promote his newest novel about the art world, Colbert devoted the whole episode to art. Later, Colbert wanted Steve to buy the recursive portrait that hangs over the fake fireplace and enlisted the help of [[wikipedia:Frank Stella|Frank Stella]], who declared the picture "Art", [[wikipedia:Shepard Fairey|Shepard "Obey Giant" Fairey]] who embellished the painting with stencils, and [[wikipedia:Andres Serrano|Andres]] "Piss Christ" Serrano who further enhanced it (with a marker, get your minds out of the gutter). Steve eventually bought the arted-up "painting" for $20, and Colbert put a hi-res original online so other artists can enhance it; the first person to do so was [[wikipedia:William Wegman (photographer)|William Wegman]], who (naturally) added one of his dogs.
