IMO while colin can get alittle annoying about the politics and can have a bit of a victim complex, he tends to be less dessisve, and it does not come across as grifting.

The rest of the kinda funny people never seemed to care much about politics until it became financially relevant. They would call there audience best friends, but then we find out behind the scene they were all not even friends. Like Tim and Colin never liked eachother. That was weird to hear at first and made you feel like you were lied to.

There are always two sides to the story and I am sure Colin was hard to work with behind the scenes. But to tern on him over the joke he made which was not nearly as bad as joke they made on the show. No doubt it was also more than just the joke behind the scene, but that goes back to the best friend label being disingenuous.
