Hungry For Power Games: May The Branch Be Ever In Your Face

[@27122712ful]

The comment "offensive and bizarre are in first and second place" is just perfect.

[@roughstartbeats]

laughed too hard lol

[@Mr.Lubbox-Lobsterlegz1]

Lmaoo I'm saying, and then the picture of Trump with his mouth open and Carson with the squinting lol

[@Eseolire]

carson's bizarre adventure

[@Tapster2010]

+economíamatemática its sad is what it is

[@vespathrenzulon5558]

Oh my gosh, the poptart totally got me, I thought that was a calculator haha XD

[@brandonf6174]

Same here heh

[@samusmaster64]

+Vespa Threnzulon but it was all an illuuusion!

[@NightEmbers]

+Vespa Threnzulon i cried haha

[@KingOfMadCows]

Poor Bobby Jindal, his campaign was as ineffective as a knife to the belt buckle.

[@yahmom626]

LMAOOOOO

[@JammastaJ23]

Haha nice

[@PMAZIVISA]

+KingOfMadCows It goes this way!!!It goes that way!!!!

[@PogueMahone1]

+KingOfMadCows What the GOP needs is a knife BELOW the Bible Belt.

[@Paradox-br1dt]

+KingOfMadCows Apparently not, because the "knife to the belt buckle" is in second place, it's quite "effective"

[@smashingpumpkin3]

HAHAHAHA! Jindal got more coverage with this than during the entire duration of his campaign. Nice burns Colbert.

[@ladimirvlenin4255]

Think that branch covered him quite a bit

[@TranWhere]

I keep wanting more people to drop out so Colbert can do more videos like this haha

[@MrBandholm]

+Tran Nguyen Then think when a bunch of them drops out at the same time, because they can't get the vote in the different stats :P

[@returningtheday]

Same here. I love this series!

[@xanderjones2747]

+Tran Nguyen ME TOO!

[@ani703]

+Tran Nguyen Same here. This is the best comedy segment on television.

[@girliboi]

+Tran Nguyen don't worry, they will

[@2011lillian]

I think one of my favorite things about when Stephen talks about the election is the photos he uses for Tump & Carson 😂

[@Whelmed.]

+2011lillian - HAHA. You misspelled his name. It's "Chump". God, read a book.

[@2011lillian]

+Slaystation3 ugh stupid autocorrect haha

[@gublinchscrivener7891]

+Slaystation3 Sure you don't mean "Drumpf"?

[@OwaisSayani]

I love this segment so much hahaha

[@arjunk6]

As soon as Jindal dropped out, all I could think about was 'Hungry for Power games' segment!

[@Saiyanprince1114]

SAME!

[@only20frickinletters]

+Arjun Krishnamurthy I don't hear anything about any of these candidates until they show up on this segment.

[@001SpecialAgent]

+Arjun Krishnamurthy Me too, and this running joke perfectly portrays what the American election is. It's awesome. If you're Canadian or European.

[@eyescandeceive]

+Arjun Krishnamurthy me too! and I was in a remote area with no TV--couldn't wait to get back home and watch my DVR episode of LSSC to see how he did it -- ROFL!

[@eyescandeceive]

+eyescandeceive hmm i didn't know strikeout worked in KZbin posts... same post without two sets of double dashes: I was in a remote area with no TV. Couldn't wait to get back home and watch my DVR episode of LSSC to see how he did it--ROFL!

[@abraxix]

''Offensive and bizarre are in 1st and 2nd place''...i just lost it ...mr .colbert be the man

[@LeesReviews69]

That was epic beyond proportions. Bravo.

[@kevincolwell2115]

this is my favorite segment of any talk show ever

[@Bennirae]

"...doesn't matter, this is a poptart." He was on a roll! :) so many good lines and jokes

[@ahorrell]

"ah ha ha ha, ah ha ha ha..... wordplay." Whoever wrote this segment deserves a raise

[@bezaad]

Because offensive and bizarre are in first and second place. Bravo Colbert!

[@ntucker]

"Doesn't matter, this is a poptart." Oh stephen, you're the best

[@charliebucket53]

Dude Colbert fucking NAILED that impression of the hunger games dude LOL I fucking love Colbert!

[@WendellsCat]

Oh my god, that branch!! LOL...that was so hysterical! When I heard that Jindal had dropped out I knew they'd be doing another Hungry for Power Games segment. Well, actually the first thing I did when I heard Jindal dropped out was say, "He was running?" then after that...

[@kildareire]

This is my favourite segment. Offensive and Bizarre are in 1st and 2nd place. Genius. Only one we're not going to see in the list of the fallen is #Bernie2016

[@blackfeathercrafts]

I love this line of skits from Colbert!!! Epic!!!

[@JordanAthemusiclover]

This is the closest he'll ever get to the executive branch! And I wasn't expecting that at 3:57!

[@osmaer3999]

4:37 LOL

[@Davidlp70]

"Apparently not, offensive and bizarre are in first and second place"I spit out my Fanta on that one.

[@Emerdans]

that was SAVAGE AF hahaha just when I thought this segment couldn't get any better. ..he nearly killed me with this one hahaha the branch tho lmfao

[@samuelweinstein4405]

Not Bobby Jindal! Goodnight, sweet prince.

[@davidslayer]

that goofy branch placement really got me.

[@sparkymv6792]

"Doesn't matter this is a pop tart" LMAO

[@GameFreaks365]

Hungry For Power Games is to the Late Show what Better Know A District was to Colbert Report. Can't wait for the next one!

[@PeregrineX7]

Lol nice pop tart product placement!

[@apatel303]

"That is higher than the age of his next wife" lol

[@edward3s]

Brilliant.

[@Mrchips469]

Doesn't matter this is a Pop-Tart

[@zaiddiaz3811]

"Apparently not...because, offensive and bizzare are in first and second place" Loolzzz well said... :D

[@Eliac13]

LMFAO Who's gonna win the Republican Primary, Offensive or Bizarre?

[@JamesExcell-InterJex]

+Bryant E. Alberto Hopefully Bizarre, but probably Offensive. Hahahah :D

[@TheWildmanden]

+Bryant E. Alberto I'm really not sure who is who...

[@Eliac13]

+TheWildmanden Both Donald Trump (Offensive) and Ben Carson (Bizarre) share a lot of qualities but these words can most likely sum up their personalities.

[@BigFry9591]

Why are we choosing between two? In fact, why are we told that we have a choice, when it only comes down to a select couple in the first place? I vote myself to become president. I will bring every troop home, decrease military funding (since they're only needed for defense for now anyway), and put whatever amount we can get into building up our economy. If the other branches of government deny me doing so, then I'll rally the people and show them that the true power of this country comes from those beneath the government, and not the government itself. Then, once I make America amazing, I will proceed to start a live-streaming channel on twitch, on which I'll play videogames for the enjoyment of the people..... Hopefully, I don't get SWATed.

[@BigFry9591]

***** Yes, but I'll actually try my hardest to help, rather than feel the fear of losing.

[@mariaajoss]

I'm so glad I saw this live , the TV doesn't do him any justice he's so much better & a great person live !

[@dashdageek]

Love this segment! Keep them up

[@cielomcmeekin7296]

Oh I absolutely looooved when he did these skits. He should bring em back

[@TheSherlockedAvatar]

Whats sad is, while i dont know jindals stances, everything he said in this video is true. im not republican so im not defending that but he clearly hates trump and wants a more respectable party. sad really that the only common sense republican so far is gone. this country is idiotic i swear. #feelthebern

[@stval]

Hes kook-job as well

[@TheSherlockedAvatar]

Like I said, I dont know anything about him but at least the 2 things that we saw here is true lol

[@Uryendel]

+TheSherlockedAvatar The only common sense in the republican party? Jindal was the craziest and the more stupid, he even propose to retire the nationality to anchor baby which is ironic because he is an anchor baby.

[@TheSherlockedAvatar]

Again, I didnt know anything about him. I guess I just meant if he was THAT crazy why didnt Stephen make fun of that? I never heard of the guy and the only 2 things Stephen showed of him were sensible things he has said. I mean Im not blaming Stephen for my ignorance, but why didnt he take the opportunity to whack this psycho to the ground if he really is just as bad as the other candidates?

[@Uryendel]

TheSherlockedAvatar Because unlike trump or carson he's not popular, if Colbert start to pick up on every crazy candidate he couldn't have finish that the sun would have explode.

[@JimboShogun0686]

Heard of the Colbert bump? well this is the Colbert Burn! lol

[@Jantango]

this gave me my morning chuckle and brightened the rainy day in Buenos Aires.

[@ducheswannabe]

more like Offensive and Sedated... LOL

[@bethteklu3194]

I lost it at "this is a poptart" lmaoo

[@justmemadison]

This and the bit with the Oreo cookies (his first show) are two of the best bits so far. Colbert and his writers are so good at satire, I wish they would embrace it more on this show.

[@RajasVids]

3:44 the way he says "this" and pauses made me think of "this... is the colbert report". memories...

[@TheKEEEEEeK]

Hey Steve, when are you gonna make fun of Wallstreet Hillary? On second thought, don't, you might lose your gig there.

[@hom3slicez]

+TheKEEEEEeK Who the fuck is Steve?

[@RiverTheOneandOnly]

+Decapitated Angel you don't have to be voting for Sanders to know that fucking bitch is a moron. I'd love for Stephan to do more on her being a fuckwit. if your one of her supporters, Congrats on being a part of one of the worst things to happen to the USA. xD

[@TheKEEEEEeK]

Homeslice640 Steve is Colbert's new character. The establishment pundit.

[@RiverTheOneandOnly]

SkyrimEs5 like I said before dipshit. I'm not voting for fucking Sanders. And did you even read any of the comments in this chain before spouting out that shit? Or do you just read 3 words then spout off on your holier than thou bullshit?

[@arjunk6]

+TheKEEEEEeK Did Hillary drop out of the race? Or else why would she feature in hungry for power games?

[@dressdown00]

Here's to hoping more politicians drop out so we can have more of this segment!

[@jariemonah]

+Politician's Syllogism Eventually, they all will until someone gets the nomination.

[@CJPW]

I need Stanley Tucci on this show to do a version of this haha

[@LEVCO11]

I think he appeared at one point

[@dan7564]

+Cam Ward He appeared on the last one they did.

[@gamophyte]

+Alucard second to last

[@CJPW]

Must not have came up in my sub box :) Thanks guys I'll check it out !!

[@CJPW]

ahhh this makes me sad

[@pedal4ever]

very funny. especially on Jindal, and his vision "we need to stop being the stupid party". Really? No more "offensive and bizarre comments". Apparently not!

[@poetryaddict1]

Now the rest of the republicans need to go

[@killastake]

So you want a 1 party system? Like China?

[@Dudebox64]

+Trabman21 Absolutely! We'd still be a democracy, it's just that now the primaries would consist of the entire election, instead of just being the prelude.

[@Gorionward]

I love this segment

[@photonotavailable4039]

Your time is almost up Carly, Jeb, and Ted.

[@francielenao]

+Photo Not Available Can't wait when colbert does this segment for JEB! and Ted. JEB! one is going to be specially good, considering all the jokes he's made on him already

[@ssss6572]

+Franciele Aguiar I hope Jeb! and Cruz drop out on separate days, I don't think the world could handle Colbert roasting both of them at the same time. He's gonna have some great jokes about Carly as well.

[@bookjunk4873]

Oh, I love these segments.

[@mariokarter13]

He was polling at... emoji? 0.3

[@stiimuli]

+mariokarter13 that's an emoji?? O_o

[@KOSAMAGAMES]

+mariokarter13 what emoji is that?

[@halyomorpha]

Scarred-eye emoji?

[@KOSAMAGAMES]

MarmaladeJacket ^^ LMFAO

[@ewthmatth]

+MarmaladeJacket Looks more like a set of nuts growing sideways out of the other eye socket.... 0.3 ... just sayin

[@LuckyNumberSevens77]

I've gotten to the point where I wonder what he is going to eat next.

[@zombiejon]

omg this was the funniest moment yet on the colbert report. His delivery is perfect!

[@jackstorm777]

Props for the pop-tart and tooth fairy jokes, those caught me off guard

[@simonkempe1212]

man the tooth fairy joke was brutal haha

[@Mysticomega]

LOVE THESE Hungry For Power Games! Keep it up!

[@jincyquones]

Everyone in Louisiana, including conservatives, despise Bobby Jindal. He's spent most of his term as governor "preparing" for his presidential run... going to fundraisers that had nothing to do with Louisiana, kissing the asses of GOP donors who don't even live here, closing state run hospitals that have been open for decades, cutting the education budget despite LA being behind in that area, pandering to Christian bigots despite most Louisiana residents being mostly laissez-faire Catholics... and all the while, he never stood a chance. Apparently, he's the only one that didn't know that because we all certainly did. We are so glad to be getting rid of him for good in January.

[@Reemus4]

I need more "Hungry for power games" THIS IS GENIUS!

[@rickylewandowski1318]

That pop-tart bit was so good I had to re-watch it.

[@Ashley-zc4no]

I stopped watching the daily show, but least we have you Stephen!

[@Misanola]

I wonder why Stephen never shows Bernie inside the blue box to the left with the "frontrunners".

[@CunnininnuC]

+Misanola might be corporate interest? it also might be that the majority of his criticisms are toward the GOP candidates and it's sometimes difficult to tell Hillary apart

[@jakemarsing2615]

+CunnininnuC or, it might be that he's behind by nearly 20 points in every national poll.

[@HitomiNoRyu]

+Misanola Because Donald Trump's head is too big

[@1Ewery1]

+Jake Marsing Lol that's not true. He's shown to beat all of the republican candidates in new polls recently and would win over Trump when Hillary wouldn't in I think three states.

[@yuotueb]

+1Ewery1 Please stop making up facts to suit your own preferences, irrational fans like you make Bernie look bad. He's - unfortunately - 20 points behind no matter what hypothetical 1:1 matchups say. www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2016/president/us/2016_democratic_presidential_nomination-3824.html

[@averyvolk3022]

Lmao! He channeled Caeser Flickerman so perfectly. :D

[@aznshortie99]

I love everything about Stephen Colbert

[@LevvyyEdits]

quite hilarious

[@Tapster2010]

After watching this I actually have some respect for Jindal

[@sebastianfors9800]

This segment was messed up, please apologize.

[@DoodleSix]

+Gary Oldman you can't apologize. for telling the truth.

[@AyoubBerrahel]

+Gary Oldman OMG guys the 0.3% is here

[@WendellsCat]

+Gary Oldman Oh, I didn't recognize you without the branch in front of your face.

[@AyoubBerrahel]

***** I think the branch is still running for president and it's still polling higher than Jindal ever did

[@JimmyKingster]

I haven't even seen any of the Hunger Games movies and yet I still love these segments. Have my babies, Stephen.

[@jakublicko7679]

this is by far the funniest HFPG episode colbert has done :D genius writing here :D

[@janetburke8327]

Stephen Colbert is better than ever!

[@andobando4873]

he dropped out before we could jindal bells

[@ravenblackwell4408]

The tree branch jokes are the BEST i am laughing so fucking hard X,D

[@Blindblondephd]

The daiquiri instead of champagne was a nice touch.

[@KrisLovesMoviess]

When Colbert said "it doesn't matter it's a poptart," I also had a poptart in my mouth and realized from that moment my life was a joke.

[@prabashathilakaratne6293]

#feelthebern

[@everyonesfavoritecritic]

It's kind of insane how spot-on Stephen's impression is.

[@volcomwave]

His Stanley Tucci impersonation is on point!

[@ConnieBTV]

This is the best best segment he does. i can't wait for more to drop out so I can enjoy another installment of "Hungry for Power Games"

[@Zsnakeistaken]

i love this character so much!

[@njmudaliar]

Jindal is a great governor. He advanced school choice in Louisiana, saving thousands of poor & minority children from failing schools. He allowed them to switch to charters & private schools that actually educated. Progressive Democrats & unions howled, but he did right for the kids. Would have been a great President.

[@Tausami]

+Naveen I'm confused. How does expanding private schooling help poor kids? It does the opposite. Even if you make it cheaper to attend private schools, you still do so at the expense of public schools and therefore of the average student

[@mikev7132]

When I google "louisiana education rankings" a very different picture emerges.

[@candidethirtythree4324]

+Naveen Shut up, just because you are his sister does not mean anyone will listen to your lies any more than they listened to his lies.

[@candidethirtythree4324]

+Mike V You are right, it is horrible!!!! Not a week goes by where there is not at least one new scandal in those stupid charter schools that Booby was selling. Our whole extended family is moving to Colorado, kids, grandkids, in-laws... this state has ZERO future for educated people. Almost everyone in one department at LSU has either already moved or are in the process of moving out of this state and the disaster Booby Jingle has made of education.

[@forthesakeofsanityandsuch9331]

Offensive and Bizarre are in first and second place 😆

[@justinlui9356]

Am I the only one who, every time the group photo of the candidates show up, checks to make sure there isn't any duplicates or cameos?

[@voteyourconscience5080]

Please do this for the 2020 election. Please!! It's the only joy in get from this election cycle!

[@alejandrolugo8743]

I can only be happy that we have sooo many Rep candidates. we'll see as many on the dome

[@bigirv2112]

3:56 pure gold!!

[@TheRealBizWiz]

I love the Hungry for Power Games!

[@demi-fiendvideos9207]

I can't wait til the Jeb Bush segment that is inevitable

[@FreedomHero4]

Jeb!*

[@vroxxzz]

It's here now! Haha

[@zetnnik]

Bwaahahaha! Offensive and Bizarre are in 1st and 2nd place!!! That was so dead on! :)

[@gaffsie]

Holy shit, this is brilliant.

[@benleprosy]

Ok, stephen. You're the funniest guy on TV right now.

[@talkingdeads]

i think this was the best of this section until now

[@justusbenning1626]

Hey no one's propably gonna read this, but I just want to thank you for uploading this on KZbin so i can watch it in Germany, it's awesome!

[@francielenao]

+Le CoeurExplosif HI! I'm from Brazil and also thankful the best bits are on youtube :) this video was probably the most "savage" out from this segment, it was nearly impossible that they wouldn't upload it.

[@KyleOnline12]

He does the best Caesar Flickerman impersonation.

[@Zardozintheireyes]

Haha, nice job sneaking in that Harvey Birdman reference :D

[@nikolatasev4948]

Bobby Jindal got things right far too early... so sad.

[@tesla4008]

How did the tree branch enter the picture in the first place?

[@Primalxbeast]

+Tesla Photo bombed by an ent.

[@SolSmoke]

he did the thing!

[@MyLifeJapanTV]

Love this bit. LOVE it!!

[@AsSheLikesIt]

Jokes were sharp today Steven!

[@twentyoneplusvideo0472]

One of the best running skits ever created and this was the funniest of the bunch...I have some terrible news about the tooth fairy......
