Line 30:
** Republican politician Andre Bauer compared poor people to animals which is an analogy backfire on its own, but [http://www.colbertnation.com/the-colbert-report-videos/262595/january-26-2010/andre-bauer-is-not-against-animals Stephen of course made it even more of a backfire by following the analogy to its logical conclusion.]
** "I'm as straight as the Mississippi!"
* [[Anal Probing]]: A segment about an "Alien Hunter,", Derrel Simms, sees Mr. Simms recount a story about him being probed by aliens in his youth. After describing the alien probe [[Freud Was Right|in very phallic terms]], Colbert interrupts him in a voice over just before Simms was about to say where the probe was "jammed very painfully,", exclaiming, "Okay, that's enough; I think we ''all'' know where the probe goes."

* [[Background Halo]]: doneDone deliberately; when the camera is facing Colbert's desk straight-on, stars circle his head.
* [[The Backwards R]]: "Cold War Update", done in faux Cyrillic.
* [[Bait and Switch Comment]]:
