You're On My List

If you’re not a regular watcher of The Colbert Report on Comedy Central, first of all, you’re missing some of the best and most cutting comedy around today, and secondly, the following may not make much sense to you.

And, thirdly, You’re On Notice!

Occasionally on the show, Stephen will bring out his big board(s) listing those who have offended him:

“On Notice” and “Dead to Me”, originally phrases Colbert used as a warning or condemnation for something he disagreed with, were later made into giant-sized lists that contain a comically bizarre assortment of people and things that are supposedly displeasing to Colbert. When the “On Notice” list is full, Colbert is forced to either remove an item or move one to the “Dead to Me” list to make space. The “Dead to Me” list is shorter and is reserved for the most hated nemeses of Colbert. There are a few random and unexplained entries, such as “Owls”, to again demonstrate the absurdity of Colbert’s fixations.

Now, you can make your own custom “On Notice Board”. And, of course, I have:

On Notice

I look forward to a custom “Dead To Me” board generator. I’m going to need some extra slots on that one.

Note: List updated due to recent comments:

On Notice, Rev. 1.1

Really, it’s me, John. I can’t help it. I’m just a major league fan of the Colbert Report.

Pirate talk AND the letter Q?

Could one of you guys who still lives in Atlanta drop by and check on Reid?

Well, I was trying to stay non-political, and admittedly, by slot number seven I was grasping a bit. At that moment, one of those damn commercials came on where all the jobseeker can say is “Arrrr” ... because he’s a pirate.

The joke about pirate talk has jumped the shark when it is featured in a commercial. On Notice.

And then I decided to go all Sesame Street and pick a letter. Q came to mind because is is such an imitator, just a wimpy variant on O. And that whole thing of (almost) always having to have a “u” with it. Geez, wanna blanky, too?

And you people whining about “where is the real Reid” ... you’re damn near going on the The List as well.

I must chime in, as a fellow Colbert enthusiast. Keep up the good work; nice blog!

Which is closer than any of us care to get to Floyd Landis’ Testicles.

That’s it, Fleshy! You’re On Notice.

Yep, right next to Floyd’s Boisterous Boys, too.

In fact, all you “Where’s Reid” whiners have been put On Notice.

In addition, I decided that having both “Recto-Cranial Inversion” and “Poopy Head” on the list was redundant, as the latter results from the former.

So I added Presidents Who Blog.
