* ''[[The Colbert Report]]'' has a number of [[Running Gag|Running Gags]], from the host's fear of bears to his Mexican counterpart Esteban Colberto to his insistence that he "doesn't see race" (cannot tell which race a person is) to his frequent question of interview subjects, "George W. Bush: great President or ''the greatest'' President?" |

** One recent gag stemmed from an offhand comment Colbert made while listing off John McCain's campaign stops, insisting that the Canton he was visiting was in Ohio, not "the crappy Canton" in Georgia. When Canton, Georgia reacted with outrage, Colbert apologized a few shows later, insisting he had confused it with Canton, Kansas, which is a "shithole". He apologized for that one before showing an elaborate music video insulting Canton, South Dakota. When a real newspaper article showed that many residents of the latest Canton more or less agreed with Colbert's sentiments, he apologized for "taking the piss out of a town with no piss to take out" and went on to equate Canton, Texas with being sodomized by a monkey. The gag came full circle when [[Barack Obama]] held one of the last campaign speeches in Canton, Ohio, upon which Colbert was naturally forced to find that one shitty. |
