NOTABLE MOMENTS

  • Gotta mention the Daily Show throw – the Say Anything reference and Conceptual Comedy was quite amusing
  • My Scrapbook of Cherished Childhood Memories, by Stephen Colbert
  • Where is the common experience? Where’s the beef?
  • Filliam H. Muffman reference!!
  • Why can’t awesome music be what a music executive says it is?
  • OK Go site link with video featured on the show
  • Why would they buy your cow when they get your milk for free?
  • No one shoots Kennedy anymore
  • Oh the Chocolate Factory, Oh the chocolate pudding, Oh the chocolate corpses
  • He’s watching so many shows about Nazis that he is thinking about invading Poland
  • Happy cable? She’s dead!
  • Half mast? I’m insulted!
  • You just blamed America first!
  • Stephen by the Fireplace: (p.s. I can’t stop staring at his ankles. Those socks are distracting. They’re just so … silky shiny(“silky” is a bit fangirly, don’t you think?)!)
  • I will be the melting pot of our Crumbelievables
  • Nora Ephron reference! (If you haven’t seen the “Bewitched” commentary, go rent it today and you’ll see why this was so funny.)

Fangirl Suit Report: Gray pinstripe suit, Pale gray shirt with french cuffs and cufflinks, Solid navy blue tie, and apparently gray socks.

    I think that America should unite around the Mojito commercial.

    And socks.

  2. I was watching Jeopardy with my mom today (the joys of television before the advent of school) and the "Head on – apply direclty to the forehead" commercial came on. Both of us scrambled for the mute button, while cussing our ill-luck, before eventually just shutting off the tv. But man, that comercial is just so damn annoyng! I defintely cheered when Stephen called it out (unoffically as it may have been), but the sound of that woman's shrill voice is still ringing in my head — augh
