    I wasn't expecting that. I mean the humor seemed like it was thrown in out of obligation.

    Yeah, that felt more like a real spiritual crisis to me to.

    Speaking of crises, what happened to the new Tak Jensen?

    Bobby scared the animators away.

    Alternative response: Stephen's cannibalism scared the animators away.

    Yeah, I was struck by that too. I think Stephen's persona has been breaking down a lot lately-- by the end of that I think he was talking to the audience as himself.

    Only thing I don't like about the show right now is Tek Jansen-- seriously, I don't get it.

    I've said it before and I'll say it again - Jon and Larry have no synergy. It was an awkward sketch that could have been so much funnier if the two jived better.

    So it was YOU!

    Honestly, so far I preferred season 1 of Tek Jansen. Of course, we only saw two episodes. Twice each.

    While I generally don't think it's that funny, the episode where he has to land his ship has probably made me laugh more than anything else in the show's entire run.

    Okay, so looking at The Colbert Nation, it says the new Tek Jansen premieres on January 5th, 2009.

    I'm also not that big a fan of Tek Jansen. Some of the stuff kind of falls flat when it's not Stephen dramatically reading it from a book. The "clearly you've had hundreds of girlfriends" line seems like it should be a funny line, but I never really find it or its variations that funny. Other one-liners like "Solar Plexsus," "Apollo Creed!" and "Pa Rum Pum" don't really hit with me either.

    I just think it's weird that they hired some studio to produce it and the animation is still worse than some of the stuff shat out of Newgrounds.

    Maybe in the older ones, but when they beefed up the art it just looks wrong.

    I always thought the Tek Jansen cartoons' animation was similar to those TV Funhouse toons they showed (still show?) on SNL. I mean for a while I thought Tek Jansen was done by the same people.

    I'm on Hulu so I haven't seen that yet, but Colbert's character has been breaking down frequently since the beginning, especially in The Word. But I am biased I think because I've always hated the humor of The Word. It's just not funny, and it makes me cringe.

    Yeah, Tek Janson really isn't that good, although the landing episode on Monday was good.

    They were being dicks before, but I haven't checked up with them lately.

    And I suppose I could proxy through to it or the official site (for the Daily Show, at least), but it's more effort than I'm usually willing to put into a 15-20 minute video clip making fun of US and world politics.
