can anyone explain Countdown's CGI intro? i mean, it's really short, but it's an animation that looks like a matrix-like all-seeing-eye tower looming over a scorched wasteland. i've always wondered what it's supposed to symbolize.

it's as creative as it is fake. as in very. it's not fake because of the grandiosity, just because of the acting. also, how can you prank the same person over and over and they not get wise? it's fake!

oh man-- the music, the utterly horrified dog, the absurdly flying alligator, the man running, the shortness of the video--this is almost as funny pound for pound as the dramatic chipmunk.

BoingBoing has been posting coverage of this for awhile... wonder why it isn't circulating in major news circuits?

where's the molar of this story?

colbert is genius. of course it helps to have another comic timing genius cameo in your skit.

my roomba died after about a year. i will buy another at some point.

I'm baffled why he's so awkward on Price is Right. t
This is a great clip--I bet he didn't get much sleep that night! I agree that he seemed nervous during his set. He was talking so fast!

UPS broke two guitars of mine... damage that couldn't have been caused by simply dropping them. Both had major fractures... they looked like they'd been run over.

uhhh.. good thing someone came out with a safety harness 25 seconds before they splashed on through the wave.

one of my favorite daft punk songs ever--he should have reverb'd that theremin tho
