* [[Corpsing]]: Jon tends to giggle a lot while trying to report. One of the greatest examples is when he and Stephen completely lose it while reporting the [http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/mon-november-10-2003/prince-charles-scandal Prince Charles Scandal.] He does it often during the tosses to the Colbert Report as well, or whenever one of his correspondents says something he wasn't expecting. Jon rarely tries to keep a straight face during his reporting, however.
* [[Couch Gag]]:
Line 192 ⟶ 193:
* [[General Ripper]]: Puppet Senator John McCain against illegal immigrants.
* [[Giver of Lame Names]]: Jon will sometimes do this to his segment titles as a [[Running Gag]], going through several increasingly horrific versions before settling on the final one.
* [[The Glasses Come Off]]: In this [http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/thu-january-21-2010/special-comment---keith-olbermann-s-name-calling segment] he takes off and puts on various pairs of glasses while making his dramatic speech.▼
* [[A Glass in the Hand]]: Parodied in [http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/wed-february-11-2009/clusterf--k-to-the-poor-house---wall-street-bailout this clip] as Jon handles a series of bad news about the Wall Street bailout by breaking a champagne glass, then the accompanying bottle, and finally his "comically convenient fish tank." (He's done similar gags with Spit Takes, as mentioned below, and one time with a Jenga game.)
** A [[Call Back]] was made to that clip in [http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/thu-december-1-2011/america-s-next-tarp-model this clip] on TARP, where Jon reacts to the financial loopholes involving the bailout by first snapping a pencil, crushing a piece of coal so hard it becomes diamond, before doing the same to [[Crosses the Line Twice|a cute (live) kitten.]] {{spoiler|Not really.}}

* [[Kung Fu Jesus]]: [http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/tue-may-11-2010/god-smacked Weight class 155-170 lbs!] Extreme Ministries ftw!
* [[The Last of These Is Not Like the Others]]: In October 7, 2008, while analyzing the "stupid" vote, John Oliver broke it down into twelve sections: paste eaters, numbskulls, nitwits, fucktards, people whose hands get stuck in pickle jars when they eat pickles, people who lose arguments to babies, douchenozzles, tiger petters, people who jump up and down on frozen lakes, shaved gorillas who've somehow managed to acquire a driver's license, the voluntarily lobotomized, and [[Take That|Cubs fans]].▼
** In their commentaries on the television news media, they'll often show the news media's hive-mind collective latches onto a particular key-word or -phrase and repeats it incessantly by means of a montage. They'll show sometimes upward of a dozen clips of different news anchors, reporters, and pundits repeating the same catch-phrase about an item, then end it with one of the talking heads (usually a Fox News pundit) saying something ... really bizarre, though still on-topic.▼

*** During a weeklong hiatus in March 2011 Japan got hit by the earthquake and the tsunami, Middle Eastern leaders opened fire on their own people, [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|Knut the polar bear died]] and the US militarily enforced the no fly zone in Libya.
