* [[Mr. Fanservice]]: Have you seen the movie ''[[Playing by Heart]]''?
** Also [http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/wed-january-26-2011/state-of-the-union-2011---correspondent-rebuttal here,] when Larry Wilmore reminds modern viewers what Jon looked like back in 1999. Rowr.
* [[Ms. Fanservice]]: While there's little doubt that [[Attack of the Show|Olivia Munn]] would be this whether or not that was the plan, a veritable tempest in a teapot arose when a feminist ([[Your Mileage May Vary|possibly or possibly not]] of the [[Straw Feminist|silly variety]]) accused the ''TDS'' staff of sexism, saying they only hired her to try out for her sexiness. While most agreed that Munn's first two segments [[So Okay It's Average|left something to be desired]], her third segment (a field assignment in Arizona) was [[Growing the Beard|enough of an improvement]] that
** It's worth noting that this is the exact same complaint that gave her something of a [[Broken Base]] among ''[[Attack of the Show]]'' fans, which still lingers after several years of her hosting.
* [[Muppet|Muppets]]: A [[Running Gag]] that when former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney or former GOP Chairman [[Awesome McCoolname|Michael Steele]] are mentioned, a clip of a similar-looking Muppet (Guy Smiley and the hapless restaurant patron, respectively) will be shown.
** The

{{quote|'''"Real" Michael Steele:''' Take a hike, Dick van Dyke.
'''Puppet Steele:''' ...I can take that he's better looking than me, but rhyming's ''my'' thing, Gordon Sumner - also known as Sting!
** Or when he was trying to pronounce the name of the island "Mah Na Mah Na"...
*** Don't forget Gitmo! Never thought that Elmo's cousin (or whatever) was a member of Al-Qaeda, but it's a small world, I suppose.

{{quote|'''Jon''': Isn't that the whole thing, if you lick a frog you get crazy thoughts?
'''Kermit''': If you lick a frog, you're crazy before you started!
'''Jon''': I can't believe it, the frog's running circles around me!
*** And [http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/tue-july-13-1999/miss-piggy Miss Piggy.]

* [[N-Word Privileges]]: Invoked [http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/tue-august-24-2010/the-hurt-talker here] when John Oliver and Wyatt Cenac try to debate which racial insults are worse; John can't bring himself to use the N word.
** Also see [http://www.milkandcookies.com/link/59858/detail/ this clip
** Frequently invoked with the topic of Rick Perry's family's former name for their ranch. Every time after Jon tries to say it, a clip would play of Herman Cain helping a reporter by saying it instead.
* [[New Media Are Evil]]: Spoofed in [http://www.thedailyshow.com/video/index.jhtml?videoId=128895&title=Bloggers this sketch
** Usually spoofed in some way in Demetri Martin's Trendspotting segments.
* [[News Parody]]
* [[Nice Guy]]: Among other things, Jon Stewart has been an active proponent for granting medical aid to the dying rescue workers and volunteers from the 9/11 terrorism
* [["Not Making This Up" Disclaimer]]: "-- and this is true --" Jon has to do this with disturbing frequency.
* [[No True Scotsman]]: [http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/mon-may-17-2010/on-topic--in-the-news---the-real-america Points out the tendency fairly often] [[In-Universe]].
* [[Not So Different]]: His claims to this effect - which he insists are weaker than they've been taken - have provoked a ''lot'' of backlash from the left, especially following the Rally to Restore Sanity, which he [http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/mon-november-8-2010/msnbc-suspends-keith-olbermann mocked] with his "[[Blame Game|The Rally to Determine Precisely the Percentage of Blame to be Doled Out to the Left and the Right for Our Problems]] [[A Lighter Shade of Grey|Because We Know the Only Thing That Matters Is That the Other Guys Are Worse Than We Are]] [[The Colbert Report|and/or Fear]]
* [[Not Worth Killing|Not Worth Mocking]]: Stewart grabs a pair of glasses similar to those worn by [[Glenn Beck]]. It comes off as a setup of another thorough, annihilating parody of Beck's rhetoric... until he throws the glasses down and says he's just not worth it anymore.
