Notorious US broadcaster Alex Jones has been tirelessly mocked across the Internet for his various conspiracy theories, unhindered rants, and loud persona.

Notably, Stephen Colbert has begun poking fun at Jones thanks to the InfoWars owner’s ongoing custody battle with ex-wife.

During last night’s show, Colbert showed a clip from Jones’s latest hour-long video in which the controversial right-winger claims he slept with over 150 women and had fights with full grown men, all before turning 16.

“Yep, fight and have sex, that’s what men do,” Colbert said. “One thing we evidently don’t do is take our mood stabilisers.”

Colbert then talked about Jones’s ongoing war with Chobani; the American yoghurt company has filed a lawsuit against Jones after he claimed they were spreading ‘crime and tuberculosis’.

After running down exactly what’s happening — playing a clip of Jones calling on listeners to get ready to fight Chobani — Colbert brought back his right-wing personality, Tuck Buckford, who hosts the fake show Brain Fight.

Spoofing the yoghurt controversy, Colbert began talking about only being able to trust ‘one in five dentists’ before explaining how ‘old Tuck is a man’s, man’s man.’

“When I was 13, I’d already had kissing time with 22,000 ladies,” he joked. “That’s with tongue. And I made love to a woman of every height. Not metric, because that’s how you get a venereal disease. Stick to the imperial scale.” Watch below.

Colbert recently revived his most famous right-wing persona, Stephen Colbert of The Colbert Report, to mock Bill O’Reilly.
