Here is an episode of the Journalist Stephen Colbert in the
Washington DC Wax Museum. I wanted you guys to see this besides it is
funny I wanted you to see the wax figures of the Presidents we have
posted around the classroom.
I figure this is a good way to start the Chapter on the Presidency!
Comment on the Video Below and Also Read Chapter 8 Section 1 Tonight
President Wax Museum
Stephen Colbert is hysterical. I noticed some of the presidents look just how they looked in photographs and others didn't quite as much. I also thought Stephen's wax person wasn't one of the better ones. I guess its a hit or miss with such a difficult craft, none of them are bad though they all resemble who they're supposed to be. A little weird how he wanted to lick them all though..
ReplyDeleteive never watched his show before but hes pretty funny. the wax figures look so real, especially lincoln and van buren. the guy who was showing him around seemed so uptight, colbert was hilarious i would have loved to show him around a wax museum. it was funny to watch his angry reactions.
ReplyDeleteThe Colbert Report is hilarious, some might consider it offensive, yet at the same time it is educational. In my opinion, the wax figures of the presidents are almost identical to their actual appearance. I found it especially entertaining when Colbert had an obsession with licking the figures, and the guide was incredibly irritated with him. When, Steven receives his wax figure, he immediately licks him because he always wanted to lick himself. He is extremely funny and has a mind of his own...

HAHA this was actually pretty funny. William Henry Harrison actually reminded me of one of the vampires from twilight which was funny because they made a reference to him looking like one. Abraham Lincoln looks so real, compared to the rest of them. And the end was extremely weird when Colbert decided to lick his wax statue...
ReplyDeleteI thought Colbert was very funny in this video. I liked how he was breaking the guy's chops by asking him if he can lick Reagan, and how he kept on making fun of how the statues of the presidents came out. The guy at the museum was actually getting ticked off at Colbert and I thought that was even more hilarious
ReplyDeleteI've only seen Stephen Colbert's show a few times, but in this video he was very witty. I like how he was making fun of the wax figures, especially when he noticed that the guy that was giving him the tour was getting a little annoyed. My favorite part was when he was sitting next to Lincoln's wax figure and he told him he was from the future and that Lincoln should get away from the theater. The fact that the guy that was giving him the tour was annoyed and mad made it all the more funny. I have been to Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum in the city and even in this video, all of the wax figures look exactly like the real people.
ReplyDeleteI had a feeling this video would give me a good laugh because Stephen Colbert is hysterical. When he was making jokes while going through the museum you can tell the tour guy was getting annoyed. Colbert obviously didn't do this to be disrespectful. The wax figures looked so real. This was an interesting way to start off the lesson about the Presidents.
ReplyDeleteAll the statues look realistic. I thought it was funny how Colbert asked what the "S" in Ulysses S. Grant stood for, and then walked away before he got the answer, and how he made a joke about FDR sitting. It was really strange that he is obsessed with licking the presidents.
ReplyDeletei thought that this was really funny and Colbert was really whitty. He was funny when he asked to lick the presidents faces and made a joke about FDR sitting because he was disabled. he didnt do this to be ride or disrespectful. the wax figures looked so real so it was a great way to start learnignabout the presidents.
ReplyDeleteI love the colbert report he's hysterical, this was a great way to start the chapter of presidency.
ReplyDeleteThis video was very funny and ironic how these are representations of political figures and humor is being incorporated with them
DeleteColbert was very funny with the comments he had for each wax figure ! Good way to start the chapter.
ReplyDeleteThis video was pretty funny watching him walk through the museum as he looked at some of the past presidents. The comments he made were hilarious and weird especially his comment on how he always wanted to lick himself. Colbert petting Van Burins beard was hilarious! i believe this was a great way to start the chapter.
ReplyDeleteThe video was very entertaining. The wax sculptures though were pretty amazing though. Every little detail was resembled what they were supposed to. I could see that Colbert was really excited to finally get his own wax sculpture, seems like it tasted pretty good too.
ReplyDeleteThis was so funny to watch, his comments, especially when he said the woman was a man and how he was sitting next to Lincoln saying run while you can at the movie theater setup. It makes it more interesting to learn about the presidents this way.
ReplyDeleteAll of the wax figures looked extremely realistic. I thought the funniest parts was when he said Harriet Tubman was Tiger Woods and when he wanted to know why FDR gets to sit down. Stephen Colbert is the only person to ever make politics funny/interesting.
ReplyDeleteColbert was really funny. I loved how he made fun of all the different wax figures. It was awesome he had the oppertunity to lick his own wax figure. Jeez if I had a wax figure I would do that.
ReplyDeleteI.ve never heard of Stephen Colbert before but the comments he made were really funny. All the presidents looked real, especially Lincoln.
ReplyDeleteStephen Colbert seems to be funny because of his reactions towards the wax sculptures which looked very real. I found it cool how he wanted to lick himself, he seems very down to earth.
ReplyDeleteThe statues in this museum were so realistic it was unbelievable. As the tour guy went through the museum, you can tell he was getting aggravated and annoyed at the fact that Stephen Colbert was making jokes.
ReplyDeleteStephen Colbert is hilarious, I didn't think at first the video would be so funny. The funniest part was the end when he finally licked a statue. All the statues looked realistic.
ReplyDeleteI have never seen Stephen Colbet's show, but he was pretty funny. I think the funniest and weirdest part was when he licked his wax figure. This was funny to watch.
ReplyDeleteI thought that this show was really funny , the statues and everything in the museum were all so life like ! and how we licked his wax figure was kind of weird but really funny haha.
ReplyDeleteColbert was funny as always. I guess taking him into a wax museum was the perfect time to expect crazy reactions. I've been to he wax museum before and the statues are very well done. But Colbert's corny criticisms made them funny. It was very cool seeing him reveal himself! ...he got to taste himself =) lol (weirdo)
ReplyDeleteThis video was so funny! Stephen Colbert was commenting on all the presidents wax figures like when he made fun of Van Buren's hair and asking if he can lick Ronald Reagan. I thought it was so funny when he licked his own wax figure
ReplyDeleteI thought Colbert was very funny in this video. I liked how he was making fun of the guy by asking him if he can lick Reagan, and how he kept on making fun of how the statues of the presidents came out. The guy at the museum was actually getting ticked off at Colbert and I thought that was even more hilarious
ReplyDeleteStephen Colbert was hilarious during this video. All of the wax sculptures looked very real espically Lincoln's. The funniest joke he said throughout the video was when he asked why FDR got to sit down. The person giving the tour was growing more angry at him, which made it even funnier. The ending was great when he finally got the chance to lick himself. Some people might view him as disrespectful but I do not think so.
ReplyDeleteStephen Colbert is always funny, i like how he takes serious news and puts his own twist to it. I do not know why the tour guide was getting mad at Colbert because he should know that Stephen is going to try and make it humorous.
ReplyDeleteThis video was very funny. They all looked very realistic. Some of my favorites were George Washington, FDR, Abraham Lincoln, and Tiger Woods. The wax figures were so precise down to every detail. Even the president's facial hair looked alive.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed this video, it was a good laugh. Wax statues looked so real.
