    All I’m reading here is some people weren’t capable of getting the joke. That’s on them. Those of us that can grasp humor had no problems. And with The Colbert Report if you didn’t get the joke you probably were the joke.

    Comedy should never be dumbed down for the people that can’t understand it.

      To be fair, I don’t think satire in any way is bad, or that it should be dumbed down - but there are often legitimate issues with the way it’s seen to the point of it becoming a meme.

        That’s on the person that isn’t capable of nuance, like @db2 said. There really isn’t much else to say. If someone can’t understand a joke its thier own fault. Boohoo.
