Colbert is f***ing brilliant.

@Fibbar 5 лет назад

I love this info about the rhyme scheme, but Colbert doesn't even touch on the content. In '92 the classic album The Chronic by Dre dropped and it was right in the middle of the Bull's 3peat. Plus the album is Acid Rap and he says "Chance on acid now, crusin' on that LSD" which is means acid but is also a reference to Lake Shore Drive

@drunkenmasterii3250 5 лет назад

Phillip Monk And what's so special about this content? Why would he even talk about that? It add nothing to the subject and it doesn't have any meaning in the context of what he's talking about. It's not particularly clever or special either.

@drunkenmasterii3250 5 лет назад

ohmytin dude I was talking about the content as in the lyrics which OP Phillip said he didn’t talk about in the video like he’s implying that there was something to talk about. The lyrics are not clever not the content of this video, this if fucking clever. Did you not see that my comment was an answer to something?

Damn it, Colbert! Everytime I think: "My love for him could not possibly grow stronger" - he do stuff like this. For the first time in my life, I love a man more the more I learn about him.

@janetownley 5 лет назад

Exactly! He's a charming, genius leprechaun who make my life so much better just by being alive :-)

@Barebittelitt 5 лет назад

I admire his intellect, but I adore his immense empathy and kindness. Watch any interview with him when he's not in "entertainment modus" and the sincerity, insight and kindness radiating from him is so heartwarming. Then interview he did at Christmas 2016 is an example of this: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pf-BpvfTSKQ.html. I think since he experienced so much grief and pain as a child, he is very sensitive to other people's pain. What a lovely man!

@3herenow 5 лет назад

There is an excellent series of books about how Tolkien wrote The Silmarillion and LoTR. It's the History of Middle Earth. Tons of obscure writings and drafts compiled by JRR's son, Christopher. Also there is an amazing podcast by The Tolkien Professor that covers all that material. Everything Colbert said is covered in these podcasts. Did you know that Strider was originally a hobbit with wooden feet named Trotter and that Frodo was to be called Bingo!?

@BenjHouston 5 лет назад
