* [[Nightmare Fuel]]: [http://www.colbertnation.com/the-colbert-report-videos/343093/august-02-2010/sport-report---london-olympics---illegal-bullfighting Invoked by Colbert when the London 2012 Olympics mascots were revealed.]
{{quote| '''Colbert:''' Truly they embody the Olympic dream. Because technically, a nightmare is a type of dream.}}
* [[And the Fandom Rejoiced|And The Bronies Rejoiced]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8WrKIvSEWI "I wanna give a big shout out here, out there,] [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|to all my bronies who may be watching."]]
** [[And the Fandom Rejoiced]]: The Better Know A District series is [[The Bus Came Back|coming back]] with Nancy Pelosi agreeing that, since Stephan threw his might behind the "Disclose Act", will encourage the Democratic Congresspeople to come on his show for the interviews.
* [[Award Snub]]: Stephen is fond of complaining about perceived snubs for awards, including some that ''his show doesn't even qualify for.''
Line 15:
** ''I'm right behind you now, Charlene''
* [[Drinking Game]]: ''Inverted''. The "official" Colbert Report drinking game is to take a drink every time Stephen criticizes America. "That's right; he doesn't. Stay sober and vigilant!"
* [[Dude, Not Funny]]: This was the room's reaction to his act at the 2006 White House Correspondents' Dinner. The general public [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|felt otherwise]].
* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]: Stephen's lawyer and father of [[Harry Potter]], Trevor Potter, who, from the moment of establishing Stephen's PAC (and later, ''Super''PAC) may just be the first [[Real Life]] [[Amoral Attorney|lawyer to have fans]].
* [[Fan Community Nicknames]]: The Colbert Nation, "And who are the Heroes? The people who watch this show."
Line 30:
* [[Ho Yay]]:
** Upon NOT having his show called out for intolerance by GLAAD's television report, he concluded that one of his staff members had to be gay... and by process of elimination he determined that he himself ''apparently'' was. Surprisingly, he didn't put up much of a fight to this revelation...
** [http://www.colbertnation.com/the-colbert-report-videos/343140/august-05-2010/how-to-ruin-same-sex-marriages And then in a later episode that week], he delved into a quite detailed fantasy about how to eliminate gay marriage- encouraging his straight male viewers to go to gay bars and become friends with gay men, living in a cottage in California and opening up a dog grooming parlor, and ending up with him getting engaged to an apparently [[The Daily Show|Jewish man named Jonathan]], before then leaving him at the altar with the words "NO WAY, I'M NOT GAY!" [[My God, What Have I Done?|He then proceeded to cry about it.]]
** [http://www.colbertnation.com/the-colbert-report-videos/308752/may-05-2010/alpha-dog-of-the-week---george-rekers Not to mention the muscular shirtless cameraman] hired from RentBoy.com. He didn't say you could stop dancing!
** The March Fourth, 2011 episode had an appearance by Jimmy Fallon as a promotion for his and Stephen's flavours of ice cream, Late Night Snack and Americone Dream. After they sang a song about friendship based on ice cream metaphors, it got...[[Intercourse With You|unsubtle]].
Line 38:
* [[Large Ham]]: [[Jeff Goldblum]]. This is becoming something of a [[Running Gag]]. And Colbert himself at many points can turn into one of these. He starts every episode trying to get in as many dramatic poses as possible.
* [[Magnificent Bastard]]: Stephen is this comedy-wise (one-liners, quick comebacks), leading to some... interesting [[Wild Mass Guessing]].
* [[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
* [[Memetic Badass]]: Stephen Colbert isn't afraid of the truth. The truth is afraid of Stephen Colbert... [[Critical Research Failure|and rightfully so]].
* [[Memetic Sex God]]: He recieved [http://www.colbertnation.com/the-colbert-report-videos/363110/october-25-2010/who-s-honoring-me-now----colbert-nation-five-years-of-excellence-award an award for] 5 Years of [[Incredibly Lame Pun|Sexcellence]] from his many [[Fan Girls]].
* [[Misaimed Fandom]]: [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
* [[Narm]]: Quite intentional.
* [[Painful Rhyme]]
