Something I don't like about Colbert is that his humour is so loud, in your face and vulgar. And by vulgar, I don't mean necessarily sexual, but low brow or crude and obvious with simple punch lines. The general lack of finesse just makes it all seem so forced I think.
I prefer Stewart, too, but Colbert is just imitating the stereotype of a right-winger. That's his shtick. Maher can be funny, don't get me wrong, but he's incredibly arrogant and self-centered.
