Yes sanity. Truckers are all nazis and Russia is attacking the world. If that's your sanity please stop getting ur news from comedians . That's dangerous.
@@dozzer009 why do you think their showing lord of the rings battles while talking about Ukraine? Russia hav consistently said theres no attack yet the media insists its imminent. The Ukrainian president expressed on international TV that "the UK's and USAs hysteria of imminent war is not helping" . Nobody wants war except the media and half of America. Putin is laughing at you and how hysterical you get over nothing. I have no dog in this fight but its harlious listening to some things u say.
@@vikmanphotography7984 Which I believe was the original design for the American flag. Which also made our national anthem much shorter. "Oh say can you AAAAAAAAAAAH!"
There is also a great deal of wacky stuff that really shouldn't be true but are. There is a town in Colorado that celebrates an annual festival in honor of Mike the Headless Chicken, which is a chicken that survived 18 months after being decapitated. Many farmers have since tried to decapitate their chickens in similar ways to have their own headless chicken pet, but Mike is the only zombie chicken I know of. Of course, the farmers made sure to exploit every dollar out of their accidental golden-egg-laying-goose they could, and made thousands of dollars (and remember this was 1945, so that was a lot more back then) every month.
@@lucasharvey8990 I’m genuinely grateful to now know about this fantastic bit of glorious American history, which would fit in perfectly as a Meanwhile story circa 1945!

Mr. Colbert is like a fine wine: He gets better with age! Thank you very much for the hilarious Eminem/Giuliano video. You show them, Eminem and take a knee for me too.
Meanwhile..... is hilarious!!! 😆 I don't know about you but I look forward to Late Night Shows every week night I truly miss it on the weekends, I laugh sooo hard, love it!!
3:14 Dog walker here 👋 The bags are occasionally hard to open Patrick, but put your fingers in/near/on *YOUR DOGS MOUTH* for moisture assistance in opening the poop bag. (That is, if you haven’t opened them prior to the commencement of the walk) Not your mouth Patrick ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 😆
Vancouver is also mild enough for some species of palm trees. People have been growing them there for a long time. There's a bunch of them along English Bay on Sunset Beach among other places.
I used to wonder why comedians on TV put so many brand names in their jokes. Then, just now, it hit me: Product placement. So, this "Meanwhile" is brought to you by Panera, White Castle and Wendy's. Possibly also the Idaho Potato Commission.
As someone who lives in Vancouver, I didn't get why the plam tree remark was so funny 🤔. We obviously do not have anywhere near the number of palm trees on as CA, FL, HI etc, but we've had palm trees for many, many, many years. No, we don't "grow" them, but they can be purchased and planted, and they thrive. 🤷🏼♀️
I don't know every time he mentions it it makes me want to try it. Unfortunately there is no White Castle in Europe as far as I know. And Neuschwanstein Castle doesn't serve burgers. :-(
French Fry scented perfume? Ugh. I live in the French Fry capitol of the world (seriously) and once every 2 weeks the McCain Foods factory pumps out all of their french fry oil for disposal and the entire town smells like McDonalds Fries for like 2 days straight. It sucks. I HATE that smell so much
How dare you shame White Castle! We can't all afford a personal chef, Stephen.... Hop down off your high horse... Because he's got the munchies and you know what he craves!
The bone collector bit is actually a little concerning, given that medical skeletons, up until pretty recently, could come from unwilling donors in poor countries who couldn't afford funerals and so were illegally de-fleshed, sold and shipped as "donated" study skeletons. Antique skeletons are even worse as they often came from slaves, grave robbery or outright murder. Really, given where the technology for medical imaging and reproduction at currently at, the trade in human body parts should be banned outside of medical institutions.
Jon is such a joyful ray of sunshine, love him!

it's triggering tho because i want the segment to be longer and he doesn't actually START it until around 2:18 XD
I keep saying that I think they keep trying to like get more ridiculous to try and trip him up
Thank you for the
"Kaleidoscope of words".
I will remember this for the rest of my life.

They quickly got old for me, but I'm glad people enjoy them anyway.

The Brooklyn apartment size is true!!!! Great joke
Aweful way to judge a joke
Oh absolutely
One learns so much about North American culture from a "meanwhile" intro.
America's favorite pass times are undeniably self immolation and doing doughnuts in the parking lots of abandoned fabric stores

This has to be one of my all time favourite meanwhile intros ever
The meantime intros are a wonderful verbal smorgasbord. How you keep a straight face, Stephen, is a miracle.
Well done, as usual ❤️
Meh, I skip the intro.
@@robertberahovich6747 you are obviously not a true fan because the intro’s are funny as hell and extremely well written
He rehearses them. They're ridiculous, funny and weird.
@@lisbethbird8268 Creative, yes. Funny, no.
I just love how he runs thru those wordy intros and never misses a word.
Betcha they are not all done in one take.
He practices those daily, and he's good at reading the teleprompter
The writers are sadists! I'm sure they love throwing in as many tongue twisters and difficult words that they can come up with.
Hello beautiful how are you doing today ?
Colbert's writing team deserve an Emmy... even just for the Meanwhile intros!

Orange tub of lard would love that perfume 🤣🤣🤣
“Most of the bones”
The man has killed before.
No living being talks about it, and any being who talked about it is no longer living.
Sounds like there might be a Bone Club out there. If you talk about Bone Club, you lose your bones.
It sounds like a set up for an episode of Bones.
Best way to hide things is is plain sight.
Jon Baptiste is joy incarnate!
“Batiste”.
@@dr.OgataSerizawa oops, thanks!
Of all the specific details included in the intro, somehow the boarded up JoAnn Fabrics is the funniest! ROFL.
Diggin Jon's outfit. Throwing me back to Travolta.
As bad things go, I'm glad he accidentally ingested dog poop, and didn't get it straight from the source.
Hello beautiful how are you doing today ?
Every single meanwhile intro has him waking up suddenly in the second half of the intro. 😂
I double tap my phone on the right side (to skip forward) until I see the *MEANWHILE* icon on my screen
As someone who actually used to work the fryer at a Wendy's... eh, yeah, that's about right. 😆
Lol or McDonald’s or Denny’s or friendlys or anywhere with a fryer. Burger King however, completely distinct smells there.
As someone who has actually eaten at a White Castle... eh, yeah, that's about right. 😁
But did you learn how to make 'Hot Drinks'? Polystyrene cups of coffee belching smoke like the forges of Isengard?

Good idea! I usually spit a tiny bit on my fingers in those instances; your method is much less coarse.
Meanwhile is the best segment on TV!!

While Vancouver, B.C. is the warmest city in Canada today we aren't expected to get above 9 C (48 F) so NYC will probably be warmer!
Vancouver is also mild enough for some species of palm trees. People have been growing them there for a long time. There's a bunch of them along English Bay on Sunset Beach among other places.
The meanwhile intros are like poetry to my ears.
Skip to @2:27 to avoid the BS...
Horatio, I knew him well.
Chuck...well, he asked too many questions.
The content of Meanwhile is always interesting. Also, I like the fact that you can take in the intro or skip it.
I always skip it
Start time 2:25
@@donnahannabanana thank you! I used to be that guy who posted the timestamp under each meanwhile video, until I gave up!
I skip it too. I'd rather that time be used for more stories.
I always skip both the meandering intro and the inane banter with John. Sad to always skip literally half the video, but I appreciate that we can.
Panera can put diamond rings in bread but Kinder eggs are still illegal. Ain't that America 😅
…….so says John Mellencamp.
For you and me, baby!
Hahaha we've had palm trees forever here in Vancouver 🤣
I'm just here for Patrick Wilson.
As someone who works in a kitchen, I could see the French fry perfume being valuable to all the cat burglars, because dogs love the way I smell.

The lead up to Meanwhile is increasingly better
Also, if that's a real photo of Patrick Wilson...when did he move to Easter Island?
Good use of the word "demented". Don't see that too often.

Patrick Wilson: Seen here smiling while his eyes are saying "did I just say that out loud?" 02:47 👀
I collected human bones as a kid. No skulls, but i had a knee cap at one point
French fry scented perfume!!!! Ha ha ha
Meanwhile, you are the best 😘
I believe that scent is called Potat’eau. Or maybe it’s Eau de Potate.
The plus side of being poor with a small home is that you cant fit many skeletons in the closet - guilt free living 👍
Plus, some came with the place. It helped drive down the price. . . .

Add Patrick Wilson to a small list of fecal pioneers. Just him and Devine.

Mr. Colbert. I respectfully request that you make a super cut of your meanwhile intros.
WHO IS THIS WRITER? It's sheer poetry.
Colorful content in opening left me holding my nose and saying, “hue, hue, hue…..”

1:10 it’s so warm in Vancouver they can start growing their weed outdoors.
Yes, people have grown palm tree's in Vancouver!
Love the show and wish you’d shorten the “MEANWHILE” intro.
The meanwhile intro is entering into historical hilarity...
Just a thought: would've it be cool to have Jon Baptisma be a guest host once in a while? I think he'd be awesome!
Fries perfume, i'd pay good money for that!
I use to own a bakery and can't count the number of people who said you smell like donuts 😂
Oh, the dig on my beloved White Castle. Ouch.
At one time I thought the "Meanwhile" intros would get repetitive...
