All I can say is bugbears. And LOL! I give this 5/5 but I strongly urge anyone who hasn't at least seen one Colbert Report to not vote since it is a crossover.

LMAO! Damn. 5/5.

 

Despite my enthusiasm for Colbert I didn't find this funny at all. It just struck me as an idiotic attempt to portray his charisma in written word, failing dismally. It seems like it came from a genuinely good idea but it seems like it was 'it sounded better in my head' jokes that end up just annoying people.

1/5 but that may be a personal bias. 3/5 for the idea.

 

The author's clearly a big fan of the Colbert Report. And this definitely had some hilarious moments, but I think if you don't know the show or watch it, then this may come off as just plain stupid.

I thought the over-dramatic responses from the students (fainting left right, falling down, shivering in fear) were pointless and detracting from the odd ficlet.

But lordy, did she nail the feel of Stephen Colbert and the Colbert Report. Today's Word, Tip of the Hat, Wag of the Finger, the Threat-down all of the lines I could easily imagine Colbert delivering.

"Ever take money from Igor Karkaroff?" <=- this did make me laugh out loud.

If you're not a fan of Stephen Colbert, this will seem stupid as hell. But some things work better than you'd think. LIke Professor Colbert DADA instructor.

4/5 for making me laugh. But I doubt I'll ever want to re-read it.

 

Yeah, rofl, this was on DLP a few months ago and got slammed 5/5 from me, just for this:

With a first paragraph that awesome, I can hardly contain my glee. Welcome to the Colbert Report, motherfuckers

 

Had Me ROLLING!!!


6/5


AWESOME!! There were legimately 5 or 6 laugh out loud moments for me in there. THe Threat down!

The one thing I wanted Stephen to say when he gave Hermione points was, "Whatever House that is, I don't See Houses, I see people."

 

And here I thought he was supposed to be more right-wing; all Mudbloods and murdering and all that. Isn't that the Wizarding Conservative way?

Come on, Colbert a wizard? Wouldn't that be against God? After all, the only people with magical powers are God, the Pope, and President Bush. And where's the nod to Ontario League Hockey?

And for that, I laughed. Nyah hah hah.

We'll be right back.

5 / 5.

 

Colbert's character is more of an Authoritarian demagogue who is unconcerned with the truth and loathes the elites.

He wouldn't like the purebloods because they are "Elitists".

 

Contrary to most of the other DLP'ers, I hate Colbert. I think he's given far too much credit for what he does. Sure some of it may be funny (I'll admit his speech at that Whitehouse Correspondant Dinner was EXCELLENT), but something about him just makes me want to drop an elephant on his head. This fic was PURE Colbert, and I'll have to give it an honest rating.

2/5

 

This fic has its moments, just like the real Colbert. 4/5.

 

Although, as a fan of the show, I found the fic very amusing, I am afraid this fanfic was placed on the "Do not Repost" list - unless an admin decides to reverse that ruling for this fic.... (Eh? A possibility?) But just in case, I'll throw out a:

4/5

-J

 

fucking helarious man. 5/5.
Great find.

 

Gotta love that Colbert exuberance, would have been funny to keep him an adamant lover of america though, throw in some cracks against the country he was teaching in.

 

Just for Yarrgh!'s quote I give it a 4/5! Now I'm going to go read the whole thing because that one snippet had me laughing my ass off.

I for one love the Colbert Report, but I think even if I didn't know the show I'd find that funny.

 

Failingly Dismal. While I may be a fan of Colbert, this fails. -5/5 for ruining what little of Colbert I like.

 

wow, i found it amazing that someone would of thought that up, though it did have a moment or two of hilarity, it lacked all that the real colbert gives us /5 (not the missing numeral, it was so abysmal, i cant even rate it).

 

Be real, giving this anything lower then 2/5 at the very least is just being a dick. There are Harry/Ginny fics in the trash bin with a higher rating then that. Put this in the library.
