This clip from Colbert is hysterical. With all the bad news lately, [this](http://www.colbertnation.com/the-colbert-report-videos/422221/december-13-2012/uncensored---breaking-abbey) will brighten your day, but only if you are familiar with both shows.

Warning: Some rough language, so if you’re at work. . .

I like this [Thanksgiving Breaking Bread](http://www.tvshark.com/read/?art=arc10010) parody more.

At first I thought it was fake actors, then just scenes pulled from the show, but I do believe they actually did the whole thing genuinely, which makes it even better. Good find 😃
