- Cowboy Bebop at His Computer: Comparing John Kasich's Cabinet to the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, if they were all the White Ranger. They made a big deal about him having a Long Lost Sibling on an Indian reservation and guess what color he was wearing at the time. Also, for having Green and White in the same picture.
- Dyeing for Your Art: See Important Haircut in the main section.
- Fake Nationality:
- Occasional guest star Esteban Colberto, host of the (fake) Mexican sister show Colberto Reporto Gigante, also played by Colbert.
- French-Canadian affiliate Stephan Colbert.
- No Export for You: Several (but not all) countries outside the US can't watch the videos on the site. Many fans aren't happy.
- One of Us: Even before his and Jon's Star Trek trivia war at the Reality to Restore Sanity and/or Fear, Jon played a clip of Stephen reciting Aragorn's entire geneaology.
- Asked James Franco, in a Tolkien fan Nerd-Off, why Galadriel came to Middle-Earth. And Colbert corrected Franco with stats straight out of The Silmarillion. Badass in the annals of nerddom.
- He also plays both Assassin's Creed and Dark Souls, along with other games (besides Dungeons & Dragons, obviously).
- Real Life Relative: Stephen's children occasionally show up. One of Stephen's brothers, a lawyer, has appeared at least twice, the last time at the start of the Vancouver Olympics series to tell him he can't legally use the word "Olympics". Or "Vancouver".
- Screwed by the Network: The UK airing. On the FX channel. Meaning the network in question was FOX.
- Written in Infirmity: When Stephen broke his wrist, he milked it for humorous effect by pretending to become addicted to his painkillers and delirious from overdosing, and made sure to call attention to this "Wristrong" (Wrist Strong) bracelet at every opportunity.
