I’ve been a fan of Zefrank for a good while now, but never linked to it. I noticed the Colbert Report ripped him off the other day stealing his donut eating joke. DUMB. Anyways, if you’re not familiar with Zefrank, you should be!
the show with zefrank

I’d rather watch that than anything on the dumb tv.

I’d just like to say thanks for posting that. I love this guy now, keep making awsome comics.

Is it just me or is Colbert not funny?

If the donut joke where actually y’know not so obvious i’d think he stole it, but come on, how hard do you think it was for either of them to think it up. I just think this a great minds thinking alike thing.

Nah, they stole it. The writers for those late night shows scour the net each morning looking for things in the news to mock, and Zefrank did that very joke THAT morning. So, beyond being a coincidence, the timing is suspicious in nature. I don’t doubt many people are ripping of Ze every day.

Thanks for the link, DJ. It was promptly bookmarked, and I checked all of August. It’s pretty cool.

YES, NO TWO PEOPLE CAN THINK OF THE SAME JOKE. EVER.
Come on, Zefrank and Colbert are two clever people who reported on the same news piece, isn’t there a good chance that they’ll do something similar? Especially when they hear that there’s a mathematical proof that a doughnut can’t be a sphere? It’s a pretty obvious joke, Colbert did it better, and now Zefrank and his fans are all butthurt about it. That’s all.

Ok fine.. there is indeed a chance they thought of the same joke—- but there’s also the chance that hack ass joke writers ripped it thinking no one would notice.
Right? I mean, don’t discount that. What? I mean is it coincidence EVERY TIME? Keep your mind open to the possibility that people are fuckholes.

DJ, there’s also the same chance that you’d sprout tits from your forehead and lay gold bricks from your ass every time you thought of pelicans wearing sunglasses.
The joke was OBVIOUSLY ripped off by Colbert’s retarded writers because it’s easier to steal someone else’s work and get paid for it than it is to think up original material.
Martin is OBVIOUSLY full of shit and Colbert appreciates your idiocy. Idiots keep him on the air.

actually what keeps him on the air is that his show is fucking funny, and most of the time original. Hopefully one idiot writer won’t change that.

The joke just isn’t that far a reach. I mean, if you hear that there’s a mathematical proof that a doughnut can’t be turned into a sphere without tearing it, what are the odds that two funny men would think of the same thing? They’re high. I bet 10,000 other people who don’t have a show thought of the same thing independantly.
If it was a different joke, or a series of them it would be hugely suspicous, and I would probably be calling shenanigans too. But it’s an obvious joke. Probably the most obvious joke you could make about the entire Field’s Medal fiasco (aside from rabits having holes, maybe).
We might hear a rebuttal from Colbert tomorrow, the way this is getting press. I look forward to some laughs. Also, Internet Tough Guy Eddie needs to chill out and STFU.

It’s not November, Martina.

..What’s the big deal? It’s a doughnut joke!
I mean sure, his joke was used on TV. Sure, it was most likely stolen by one of that TV dude’s lackeys, but so?
He’s probably feeling proud, if he knows about it, I’m sure he’d feel some pride in the fact that someone thought his work good enough to be ripped off and broadcasted to a wider audience.
Sheesh. and I’ve never heard the joke or seen that comedian’s TV Show..
Love this comic though. Awesome stuff.
