The Stephen Colbert

Just like shotgun in a car only it is the middle seat in the middle row in an SUV, the middle seat in the back row in a two row car, and in a two seat car it is the trunk.

"I call shotgun." " Oh yeah well I call The Stephen Colbert.

Stephen Colbert Syndrome

The process of transitioning from a satiric depiction of a thing to the very thing you once parodied. Named after Stephen Colbert, who originally played the character right wing ideologue named "Stephen Colbert", who told yo what to think. Over time, he has become the Blue State equivalent of his earlier "Stephen Colbert" character. He has come full circle.

You know how originally she mocked bad weepy singer-songwriters? Now she takes herself seriously and has misses her own joke. Stephen Colbert Syndrome!

Pulling a Stephen Colbert

When you get something named after you.

Originates from the fact that Stephen Colbert is the "undisputed king of getting things named after"* him. He has a sea turtle, a Ben & Jerry's ice cream, a bald eagle, a trapdoor spider, and many other things named after him.

*Quote by Stephen Colbert

"Whoa, that building is named after you? Talk about pulling a Stephen Colbert."
