We here at CNH are gearing up for All Hallow’s Eve, digging through the archives to bring you some scary goodness. Let’s start with two awesome clips from The Daily Show, and then onto the Report’s greatest Halloween moments.
Stephen and Jon challenge the notion of “vigilance” in the brand new “War on Terror” at Halloween-time!
Quotable about hyper-vigilance and the W.O.T. : “Think of it as total awareness of your surroundings, a zen-like state of complete consciousness, whereby one is fully and instinctively attuned to everything in the universe in a mystical unity of spirit and matter.”
Cute part: When Jon takes off Stephen’s gas mask because you can’t hear him.
Epic Halloween Even Stephven that you’ve watched 1,047 times already (but another time doesn’t hurt)Onto the Report…
A nascent Report clip comparing Ramadan vs. Halloween, from TCR’s very first Halloween episode:
Lamenting the pumpkin shortage:
“She’s clearly in the first stage of Pumpkin Grief: denial, then comes anger, bargaining, depression, and finally, pie.”
“House of Horrors”: Stephen fears the implausible idea of a then-potential Speaker Nancy Pelosi
Get ready for “San Francisco Values!” (Whatever that means….moral degradation by Rice-A-Roni?)
Also, I always love(d) Bobby’s (Eric Drysdale’s) quiet attempts to rationalize with “Stephen.” Too bad Stephen ate his ghost ribs. He will be missed.
“Hallo-Weening”
“I believe that costumes are just lies that you wear.”
Bemoaning the potential dangers of the H1N1 virus in Threatdown – Halloween EditionStephen Requests the Nation to Wear Costumes to the “Rally to Restore Sanity And/Or Fear”…And also exhorts you to protect yourselves from vampire Muslims with bacon turtlenecks (available soon at a J. Crew near you):
Stephen Preps Colbert Nation to scare Jon Stewart at the Rally with a spooky song…
How do you celebrate Halloween? What’s your favorite Report or Stephen-related Halloween moment?
