“Do you know why I pulled you over? Cause I have forgotten.”

I have been fortunate to live and work in about 20 different countries, and bar none, the largest rat I have ever seen was in the South Bronx of NYC. That dang rat was so big, it didn't need to run. When it waddled across the floor, the floor-boards were creaking. If Chicago got a rat that tops that one, then good luck to them.

I wish they would leave the graphics up longer so we can appreciate the great work the team has done. The plywood rat surfing one was hillarious 😂

"I'm gunna sit on that patch of grass over there and think about ducks" LOL!

I'm a jeweler and I am still freaked out by your diamond facet pavilion bit. Brilliant.

Ah yes, the ol duct tape a kazoo to the raccoon trick, that never disappoints. 😂❤

Cops should be allowed to smoke in their free time, better than drinking every night

[titaniumteddybear]

I feel like cops taking the edge off with weed is a much better idea than what they're currently using: alcohol and fentanyl.

That "cops smoking pot" story reminded me of the time, about 40 years ago when I was working in a small town in New Mexico when I was ripped off by a couple of high school students of nothing much, just a $100 guitar effects pedal (I, the cops, and eventually the judge knew just who the perps were). When I reported the theft, about 8 hours later a uniformed policeman and a detective showed up at my house to "investigate." The detective was OBVIOUSLY stoned (red eyes that wouldnt focus, wandering questions that made no sense, repeating the same information over & over again, and of course, pot smell 🪴). The young rookie officer was obviously embarrassed by the whole situation and apologized to me as he left, following the detective out the door.
Long story longer, I never did get the pedal back, the boys never got in any trouble, but I did spend a night in jail later that year for running a stop sign on MY BICYCLE.😮
Life in small town America, folks ...

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm with Berlusconi on this one. I don't get the whole "collect art just because it's expensive" thing. If he chose art that he actually liked (they did say it was "poor quality, " but that may have been his taste), good for him.

The writers are killing it! This whole segment had me laugh wheezing, I legit need my inhaler 😂 Thank God for Colbert. Actually, I could probably thank God myself if I don't get my Albuterol immediately ❤

That rat-surfing image deserved more time on screen.

[eyxpgey]

watching the difference between what Stephen says in the intro, and what closed captioning says, is rather hilarious.
also kind of said that our deaf friends can't enjoy the genius humor of it.

[mdudegamer]

That was one of the best Meanwhile intros in a while. Kudos to whoever came up with that one.

[nannerz]

I cannot believe that Chicago is the rattiest city I lived there for 5 years and saw maybe two rats total I went to New York for 3 days and I saw at least 60.

[elaexplorer]

Was this clip cut short? Stephen was still talking when it ended.

[toddmercure]

Meat slurry distribution system equals soylent green?

[tipsybass]

solid freaking gold!! I needed these laughs, as I am becoming homeless tomorrow... got a tent tho. The thing that got me the most, was the Jersey City officer... so, if you figure out what I was pulling you over for, I will be sitting on that hill over there, thinking about ducks. I love you. OMGAH. Also, is it just me, or are the monologues before he says the first meanwhile, getting far more intricate?

[titaniumteddybear]

I really don't see how a pool noodle or a stuffed giraffe are considered "weird" luggage. I assume they were gifts. How else is someone supposed to transport them when flying?

Shout out to Dubuque, IA. We do in fact have a Best Western. Haha
