Slog - Comments on Best Joke on The Colbert Report Last Night http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/07/best_joke_on_the_colbert_report_last_nig Stephen Colbert, regarding butter brickle: "I assume that’s some sort of English treat made from candied lamb cartilage." Doesn't look as funny on a computer screen in the cold light of morning, but it made Colbert to crack up and break character. Enjoy:...

What makes it even better is the fact that Stewart loses it too, and Colbert even looks like he's tearing up from laughing so hard.

"Sleep lightly."

Then there's the classic Ben Franklin interview, something along the lines of:

Franklin: "No, I died of pleurisy..."
Colbert (writing): "Pleurisy? I'll put that down as... French... syphillis..."


Yes, the Prince Charles banana sketch was one of the best moments I can recall.
