Back in 2004, Stephen Colbert didn’t host “The Colbert Report,” although he was an accomplished correspondent on “The Daily Show” and had quite an illustrious career in television comedy (to see Colbert’s credits click here). This clip is from a strikingly straight appearance on “Law & Order: Criminal Intent.” It’s bizarre to see Colbert playing a role other than Stephen Colbert (a backward glimpse perhaps at how strong the fake newsman/pundit character actually is) in this particularly Norman Bates-esque role. We’re waiting for a wink and a studio audience; we receive neither.

This video was made by the Graffiti Research Lab, a group that, according to their website are “Dedicated to outfitting graffiti artists with open source technologies for urban communication.” Hmm. So here’s their point about advertising being the real graffiti.

Jack Bauer doesn’t screw around — ever. Here he is — all-biz, per usual — going up against the Aqua Teen Hunger Force. He can’t explain it to you now, it’s too complicated, but he’ll explain later — presumably when he’s done torturing the meatball (aka “Meatwad”). (Created by National Lampoon.)

Here’s a viral mashup video that has somehow passed us by on its rise. This is not quite how we remembered Nancy’s war on drugs, but it’s much funnier than those recollections. There are some particularly startling revelations around 5:15. And, maybe this video finally provides an explanation for this.

Here’s a sketch from the Norwegian Broadcasting television channel program “Cystein og meg.” While the production value may leave a little to be desired, the premise is pretty good. We’d like a sequel where the befuddled reader winds up calling a Dell 1-800 number in El Salvador for a refresher course.

We love baseball spring training. It’s bright and sunny in Florida and Arizona, and the games played now promise the official games of spring and summer are right around the corner. Here is one of our favorite baseball moments of yesteryear, the 1983 George Brett pine tar incident, on demand thanks to YouTube. Cue to around 3:20 if you want to zip ahead to moment of impact. Three weeks until the regular season haul gets underway!
