I get “error reading module” whatever that means. Video no play.
The US auto industry is gone, but every car in America turns out to be…a Decepticon!
Jon Stewart’s evisceration of CNBC last night was pretty good too.
Do you mean the music critic?
“How do you feel about the band Ogre Milk?”
“I love Ogre Milk.”
“I just made that up.”
He just seemed terrifically nervous, as I would be sitting across the table from Colbert.
All the good scenes are on the Colbert Report website, in case anyone else has problems with the OP’s link.
After I watched both shows, I commented to my friend that Colbert is a hell of a lot funnier than Stewart, but Stewart knows how to freakin’ drive a point home.
Jack Jacobs, Medal of Honor winner, retired colonel, scholar at the CFR:
“Stephen, under no circumstances will we be firing nuclear weapons at decepticons!”
That was hysterical.
Appeasement is the only solution. 
“Well, I think we should leave that on the table.”
I admit Colbert has me very concerned now. Koala Pox? Does that mean all the cuddly little fellows die? Or is it a deadly-to-humans thing?
'Cuz hell with my fellow man, but if a koala dies, it’s on!
Watched it just now. That’s definitely the funniest thing I’ve seen on Colbert in a few months, maybe since the conventions. I love it when he goes that far out with the batshit crazy ideas. I’d be happy to watch the Doom Bunker several times a week, although all that dry ice would cost a LOT of soybeans.
That was the best performance I’ve seen out of Jon Stewart even longer. He’s fun when he screws up and laughs, but when he’s mad, he’s better, and he just destroyed Santelli and CNBC. That’s Stewart and The Daily Show at their best.
I think the col. was playing a straight man and had lilkely been asked to. His reasonable responses made Colbert look even crazier. Especially since he was cherry picking bits of the col’s response to hear what he wanted.
That just about killed me when I heard it.
I’m reasonably sure Carl wasn’t on speed. I could ask him (he’s sort of a friend), but it seems like it would be kind of a rude question.
He actually managed to get a lot of information about his book into the conversation which often isn’t true of Colbert’s guests.
That segment was hysterically funny. One of my favorite moments was after Colbert described the most terrifying scenario–Obama’s policies working and vindicating faith in the government–and he turns to Stephen Moore and says “This is gun-in-the-mouth time for you, isn’t it?”
It’s not entirely clear, but it’s implied that all koalas will die. The pox isn’t contagious to humans (presumably), BUT it is to livestock–and herein lies the problem: all of our livestock will die from koalapox, forcing us to subsist on soybeans… which will also be our currency.
A man who’s learnt from his predecessors. I like that in a military man.
No, Colbert briefs his guests before they come on, there’s a video of Senator Kerry backstage and Colbert bluntly asked him “you’re familiar with what we do here, right?” And basically told him he could play it straight or “join the life.” It’s pretty much impossible to NOT know you’re going to, in some way, be involved in satire.
At least we still have pandas, RIGHT?! We have to save something cute, after all. But soybean currency should be good for me. Central Indiana is the new El Dorado!
Thank you for alerting me to this, I wasn’t aware it existed. Here’s the video in question. It sounds like he says “join the lie” which is even funnier. Also, “I’m an idiot to let them film this.” 
TDS’s skewering of CNBC was pretty popular on reddit. I watched that and I thought that was hilarious. In the comments section, I only saw one person mentioned Colbert’s Doom Bunker. The Doom Bunker was even funnier than Stewart. Stewart brings his A Game and Colbert one ups him and brings his A+ Game. I haven’t really watched either in a while, but that was one very solidly funny hour of TV.
