      I contest this. I give you exhibit A: Gogglebox (google it if you don’t know what this is). Giles and Mary. (Google them if you don’t know who they are). There’s a table. It’s shaped like a cat. They’re examining it. Giles says ‘No genitalia.’ Mary replies ‘oh Giles, why would it have. That would be surplus to requirements on a wooden cat.’ That, my friend... is the most British thing anyone has ever said.

    I was really hoping they would bring up the fact that he played Clive Durham in Maurice which has a slightly similar plot but that's kind of a unknown gem if you will. It still looks really great though! Still a nice guy. He's like every polite quintessential British cliche but it's adorable somehow

    • @rumblefish9
      @rumblefish9 3 роки тому +1

      I fell in love with him in Maurice. Hugh really gave Clive's character a lot of depth because he's not very likeable in the book. Undoubtedly his best work. I think Clive would be a lot like Thorpe in his older years (except the murdering bit). Still hiding his true self and still dreaming of that "external Cambridge" with Maurice beckoning to him.

    I'm really grateful he didn't take the Donald Trump bait... When Stephen showed that picture, I was like "Oh man, do you have to drag Trump into *everything* ?" You have Hugh Grant on there, an English actor, who's about as far removed from having anything to do with Trump as you can be, you could just for once not mention him...

      Unfortunately, no one in the world is far removed from the “drunkin escapades” of Trump as the potus. I travel a fair amount and people all over are completely disgusted with what America has brought onto itself. And people are very worried. If Americans traveled more it might help them understand more about the serious fascist issues we face under this administration, and the sharp edge of a knife we now dance upon to avoid having a totalitarian government. It would also help if Americans would get educated on the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights, and read a lot more diverse information and books about history - the idea is not to repeat the mistakes of the past --- but here we are dancing on the sharp edge of that knife once again. I truly hope that our Democratic Consitutional Republic survives Trump. I wish Trump worshippers would come down off their Trump Drunk and dry out.

    • @krystofdayne
      @krystofdayne 6 років тому +17

      A) I don't know if I have given anyone the idea that I support Trump but of course I don't. Would I even be watching Colbert if I was? Well maybe, just to go trolling in the comment section, but no, I don't. I hate him just as much. And B) I'm not American either and yeah you're right, here in Europe, of course people realize not only the idiotism but also the real danger of Trump-style politics. You already seem them spreading in Italy, in the UK and even in Germany with the AfD.
      My main point was, that as good as Trump is as joke-fodder, and as much as I realize we can't let the normalization of Trump happen (to quote Oliver), it is refreshing to see Colbert or other comedians talk about something else for a change and when he throws in Trump just for the sake of throwing in Trump even though it had nothing to do with the conversation... it's just tiring and frustrating and obviously just audience-pandering from Colbert.
