Is this a dig at Son of Beast?

[jamesdillaman]

Fans of Stephen Colbert, I found this on his official website. I must have missed this show, can someone clear up if this is indeed a dig on Son of Beast, and what Stephen said, if anything about SoB.

What is this?

[FlyingScooter]

LOL, must be a launched verison of it. (loop is higher than the lift hill.)

[Angry_Gumball]

It's a GP-ified coaster where physics doesn't apply and the coaster will get stuck when the power goes out.

[FLIPDUDE]

I seriously doubt that. in case you forgot, the GP is a little coaster-stupid. In cartoons they usually make any coaster with owoden supprots, regardless of does it do loops, corkscrews, whatever. realism is not of the essencehere, and even if it was, some of the track there has steel supports, whereas the real SOB oonly has steel supports on the loop.

[jamesdillaman]

^ I only say that because the structure of SoB was found to be flawed, and that caused the incident that closed it a while back. And it only has one loop. I was just wondering if this was tied in to a story he did on the show, and if so, what was it about?

Over here we call this humour "tongue-in-cheek". And it's quite a good example.

[jamesdillaman]

Yeah, I thought it was pretty funny, but I was wondering if he used it in his show, as I watch usually, but I don't remember this.

Exactly, Stephen Colbert, a well known satirist/journalist/voice actor as Harvey Birdman on the [adult swim] show that has a show on Comedy Central.

 

Don't take everything he says seriously, although, bears are still America's greatest threat ahead of Lutherans...

This was used on an episode of the show. They do a segment called "Stephen Colbert's Balls FOR KIDS!". Basically, they intermix kids asking questions with "experts" answering them, usually with frank and horrifying responses. They've done them on hunting, plastic surgery, the last one was where this came from: carnivals.

 

At the end of the segment, Stephen told kids to log onto the site to download fun activities related to the carnival segment. Thus where that came from.

^ Thank you, Wes. That's what I was wondering. Everyone else seemed to think I was asking who Stephen Colbert was for some reason. Still, It's a funny image.

It wasn't for SOB as far as I thought, BUT the show did make fun of the Top Scan in NY that tossed a rider last year

[Reon]

Actually, I watched that segment. It was on carnies, so not any park/accident in general.

Here's the segment if anyone wants to see it:
