Oh man, I wish I had been able to tape this. Stephen Colbert was on right-wing francophobe self-evangelising hubris-meister Bill O’Reilly’s show on Fox News about ten minutes ago. It was gold, pure comedy gold! Colbert to O’Reilly on the Fox host’s ‘liberal’ critics:

“You know what I hate about people who criticise you? They criticise what you say, but they never give you credit for how loud you say it… …or how long you say it.”

If anyone spots it on YouTube or the likes, drop me a line. It should appear in this search at some point, providing somebody captures it.

UPDATE 21st January 2007:

Oh Yes. Here it is. Enjoy.

Quote also updated from the video – I misheard slightly the first time.

Who ever said chat shows were judgemental?

For those who aren’t aware, Trisha Goddard (on the right) is the self-appointed saviour of humanity, casting aspersions on all and sundry who venture into her daytime TV fiefdom.

More TV In Japan madness. What does one pizza slice say to the other pizza slice? Why…

“Sun, hi! Pi pi pi pi pizza recun do, to to to to toppingts-zu”.

…of course!

There seems to be some romantic dialogue going on here between the boy pizza slice and the girl pizza slice. If anyone can explain this, please let me know, for pizza’s sake…

Animated Pizza Toppings Dance. Crust Goes Crazy.:

This is how you personify the feeling of those that are asked to take part in pizza. Through animation. Dancing, singing animation. And a twisty, yeasty ending. On TV. In Japan.

Thanks to TViJ reader Hamed for the tip!

More TV In Japan.

I’m not sure what to say about this clip, other than that I created a new ‘odd’ blog category especially for it.

Watch it. Please.

:S

Dramatic Scene Between Doctor And Patient (Attached To A Vending Machine):

This is how you up the tension. By focusing on life’s little dramas. Involving naked patients. Attached to vending machines. On TV. In Japan.

I had a pretty tough day today for various reasons, and when I came home, Gavin Purcell’s TV In Japan cheered me up.

OK, it’s not up there with Takeshi’s Castle or Pythagoras Switch, but there are several reasons why this short clip is so awesome:

• A guy puts candles out with a frickin’ Lambrini cork from fifteen feet away.
• Being Japanese TV, there are pop-up arrows, fluorescent captions and action replays galore
• Apparently Japanese women are desperately impressed by men with uncorking abilities like this guy, judging by the ‘ooohs’ on the soundtrack. Tommy – take note.
• Yes, the Freudian angle was too obvious to miss.
• There’s a polarised shot of a woman’s face just before he does his thing, just to raise the tension.
• The voice-over guy is just so darned impressed, bless him.

Guy Puts Out Candles With Campagne Cork:

This is how you impress the ladies at a party. With your cork skillz. And yes I spelled that with a ‘z’. On TV. In Japan.
