Colbert caps BP spill coverage with a game-related gag
- July 28, 2010 09:29 AM PT
During the opening monologue on The Colbert Report last night, political comedian Stephen Colbert offered his own guess on the mysterious Samaritan who played an instrumental role in helping plug the BP oil leak. Here's a clue -- he's a video game character.
There have been a few gags regarding the oil spill relating to this mystery character, but Colbert's gag (20 seconds in, for the impatient) is as succinct, straightforward, and silly as possible. Check it out below, or click on the source link at the bottom of the page if you want to see it in widescreen.

You know, I used to think The Daily Show was better than Colbert Report but lately, I think it might be the other way around. Who else but Colbert would call Mario out on his anti-turtle ways?

I think for over a year The Colbert Report has been better than the Daily Show. Colbert's interviews with politicians in his "better know a ...." series are always hilarious. Stewart is getting a bit better recently though. For a while he became waaaay too one dimensional and crusade-like.
