Stephen Colbert took over as host, executive producer and writer of THE LATE SHOW on Sept. 8, 2015. - Zábava
Fun fact, there’s a Kum n Go in my town, and they painted the windows outside to say “Kum inside” and it was, I shit you not, painted to look like the letters were DRIPPING a white substance.
Somehow I don't think that was part of the original commissioned sign.... 🤔
And I'm thinking "Ah, so they got busy with the vanilla donut frosting, apparently." 😂
The name Kym & Go sounds like a massage parlor franchise.
Teenage employee me would do that as a prank. Boss won't notice until there's a grievance filed by a customer.
Gross, but kinda funny
I'll miss being welcomed to Boston with "USE YAH BLINKAS". And my personal NJ fave: "CONSTRUCTION AHEAD. PREPARE TO BE ANNOYED"
"Lights on, wipes on"
And the classic "click it or ticket"
Guess there were to many a
"Ahh zombies!!!" signs 😢
Then Illinois and NJ should be sister states, bc Chicago is freakin' year-round construction. You absolutely have to plan where and when you have to use the bathroom if you're from out of state. Learned my lesson about that back in 2011 when I was headed to the Joliet Harrah's to meet up with a friend for a concert that was happening the next evening. How tf my friend deals with it is beyond me. 😅
@@a.katherinesuetterlin3028 The real reason people move to Floriduh: they never fix the roads.
No! Kum and Go can't be dropped! It's our only source of entertainment in Missouri! Telling travelers they need to make a left at the Kum and Go is too fun.
👋😃 Hiii, my fellow Missourian!! Best place on Earth! Best weather, no earthquakes! Missouri pride! I agree they shouldn't change the name Kum & Go😅
Well hey, you can always travel a bit westward and shop at the Loaf and Jug! (real name, I promise!)
😂😂@@RyoHazuki224 Omg! Too funny! 😂😂😂
Clearly, fellow Missourian, you haven't heard of Uranus Fudge Factory in Saint Robert, Missouri. No, I'm not joking. Their newsletter is full of poop related puns. While I'm not usually a fan of bathroom humor, I look forward to getting it every year.
Since I was a kid I always referred to it as the Ejaculate and Evacuate...
If highway signs have to be removed to avoid distracting drivers, does that also mean that billboards have to go?
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
As someone who used to work in the digital billboard industry, nothing would make me happier. My brain is permanently stuck looking for defects to report to our repair contractors
No, because billboards are different. You know that you can ignore billboards when you're driving. Actual highway signage is supposed to convey important information, so everybody should be reading them. Because everybody should be reading them, they should be as simple and clear as possible.
@@beeble2003 Sounds like someone has a vested interest in maintaining that roadside trash.
@@ichijofestival2576 Are you suggesting that I have that vested interest. Absolutely not: I'm a university lecturer.
If the Feds are worried about distractions on the highways, guess we gotta ban huge billboards, too.
No everybody knows the goverments work is too make it easier for inssurances to extort custumers.
No, billboards are a different situation. Everybody knows that billboards are just advertising, and you don't need to read them. Actual highway signs are supposed to convey important information, so it's important to read them. Because everybody should be reading and understanding them, they should be as quick and easy to read as possible.
Lmfao flashing electronic bilboards are a thing and smart car manufactureres are working on ads for in the vehicle lmfao youre just wrong on a fundamental level @beeble2003
@@ConstantChaos1 OK, so ban flashing electronic billboards, too. I stand by my claim that highway signs should be simple and clear: why is that "wrong on a fundamental level".
@@beeble2003 It's not. He just thought "wrong on a fundamental level" sounded more cool than "I disagree", followed by his explanation of why.
I don't see what's more simple, direct and brief than "buckle up, windshields hurt".
Not a doctor but maybe just "Buckle up" is more simple, direct, and brief?
Some people, when told to "Buckle up", "cover up", or any order from an authority, ask "Why?". If they don't get a satisfying answer to their "why", they won't do it.
fair 'nuff. Humour is funny too
As a Midwesterner who lives in a city with Kum & Go convenience stores, we also call them Ejaculate & Evacuate
Stephen's segment is usually great, but this one is absolute gold. I cracked up more than usual, and the pacing with rising and falling emotion vs humor was top notch. It felt like the peeps callbacks almost wrote themselves. Bravo!
Thanks for all the shout-outs Steve. ❤️ -Brenda
“Rub one out n bounce” made me chuckle 😆
Yeah but “pump & dump” was right there
Chuckle? Dude I cried
😂This is the “dirtiest” Meanwhile….and I love it😂
From another English-speaking country - it always horrifies that the adjective Americans favour for sex is "dirty."
Do you think maybe your puritan forefathers succeeded in polluting your thoughts?
its also the peep-iest Meanwhile
I’m so glad all of the references to “Peeps” were given. I can never understand why people look forward to eating them, and could never figure out what they were made of. Now I know. Thank you Late Show writers!
Damn, without "Kum & Go" where will I get my 1.75 liter handle of Blue Ox vodka every night!?!?! Oh well, eventually we will all shuffle off this mortal coil and go to the great gas station in the sky where it all "Came & Went."
He said they're just changing the name not going out of business.
@@annahappen7036 Good, will they still sell Blue Ox vodka!?!?
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 your comment made me spit out my water!
you can get vodka at a convenience store? great state!
I wonder if the workers were trained to say goodby with "Kum again"?
Or, "Thanks for kumming, now go."
Okay, but I'm going to need like 20 minutes.
Did you know wealthy people dont kum? They arrive.
This really is Peak Stephen, the guy's on fire, I think he and the whole writers' room got Very Motivated by not winning any Emmies... 😂
They say you learn more from a loss than from a win...
One after another! 😂 He crushed it this segment.
@@ichijofestival2576 I will be looking for those!
Midwesterner, the Kum & Go name being a giant joke is literally the only reason anyone ever had to go to a Kum & Go. It's loss is a sad day. Rub one out for a fallen comrade.
Speaking of midwestern gas stations, where my Casey's breakfast pizza lovers at? That's the taste of home right there. I work with West Coasters and when I told them about it they reacted with disgust, and it was just cuz they'd never had it. Real green eggs and ham situation.
“rub one out for a fallen comrade” lmfaooo.. best string of words i’ve seen all week
@@Phantom9252 also, love casey’s breakfast pizza
Kum and Go. Kame and Went
For me, it's the only quality Midwestern chain other than Maverick that reaches Colorado
That single entendre was hilarious 🤣🤣
I'm a huge fan of Stephen but I miss him doing edgier comedy. This whole segment was so funny
I live in Missoula, Montana. When I came back to America in 2006, my brother was giving me a drive around showing off the city. Sure as hell, we drove past the "Kum & Go" and of course, I start laughing at it. Tim said :"When it first turned up some people were pissed about it, but now its just kind of a local joke. Not every city in America has one."
As a proud Midwesterner, during the Kum & Go segment, I was hoping for the "Ejaculate & Evacuate" joke.
Skeet & Yeet more likely
I always called it "squirt and scram."
Y’all are amateurs. In the 80s we called it rape & run.
Jizz N Whizz
The best part of my mid west road trips were the clever traffic signs and stopping at the Kum & Go. Why do they always have to take the fun out of it?
Because, "We at the federal government have no sense of humor that we're aware of."
Religion.
It's either that or, well you know, having to do actual governing work like establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, or promote the general welfare.
Because it's not fun for everyone if they don't get the inside joke, pun, or colloquialism and are distracted trying to figure out what the government was trying to convey.
I never got the reference to that. I always thought it was American slang spelling like nite and lite for night and light, respectively. I know the cum spelling means "with" as in magna cum laude (University degree).
Just the openings of this segment deserves an Emmy
czcams.com/video/VSfdzVhhcWo/video.html
they really aren't that good, they are just a random collection of words
czcams.com/video/VSfdzVhhcWo/video.html
4:53 I love that kum & Go just got an automatic laugh from the audience just for the name.
5:31 "Rub one out and Bounce", the unofficial tagline of the New York subway.
When I first moved to Little Rock, it didn't take long to see our first "Kum & Go" and yeah, how can anyone not get a chuckle the first time seeing it.
Peeps used to be only yellow and flavored like stale cardboard as the Lord intended.
As opposed to fresh cardboard?
@@scottgillespie8011 Dude, that is way too spicy.
. . . stale cardboard and sawdust.
Hey you're talking about my house 🏠
Your "lord" is fictional though.
In college we referred to the local Kum N Go as the Ejaculate and Evacuate 😂 gonna miss that place
Haha! Love the clarinet getting its Meanwhile spotlight 🎵
I had to back it up to hear it again. LOL Did he really just (kinda) say Buffet Crampon?? Niiiice.
I imagine that few people pay attention to the entire rant. The beginning does in fact connect to the end-it is a beautiful thing to admire.🤗🤗🤗
I skip past it.
@@laurendoe168 me too
I always listen to the whole script. It's a thing of beauty
Just picture yourself flying with air Asia. Suddenly, you see a snake sneaking out of the overhead compartment towards you with bared fangs! But just as you see your life flash before your eyes and accept your fate, the snake is snatched out of the air by the stewardess who expertly puts it back in it's cage and, with a friendly smile, asks you if you would like some tea.
Time's have changed
We got a free upgrade for snakes on a plane
Screw em I don't care
Grab the cheap champagne we're going down in flames, oh!
Why yes, Brenda, I would. That would be lovely.
And maybe some fresh pants...
I have flown some smaller asian airlines and that wouldnt surprise me in the least - Brenda doesnt just tell you your seat cushion can be used as a floatation device.
NGL, I didn't expect the Sam Jackson quote bait-and-switch.
Well played, Stephen. Well played. 👏
Agreed, I was expecting "What is with these mother fucking snakes on this mother fucking plane?" 😂😂
I enjoyed thinking it was still a quote about snakes.
They don’t show ads for free lol
@@theseinstrumentals Unless it's funny.
European here, can someone help with the switch-a-rue thing?
this was simple but one of the best. Well done writers
This has always been hilarious to me. Billboards are literally trying to distract you from driving, but it's ok if they're trying make money, apparently? 🤷🏼♂
Ya know, Steven ought to publish books of nothing but collections of his introes to "Meanwhile". I don't know what you would call them as an art form, but IMO they definitely are one.
I mean, yes, but only if he credits the actual writers of the jokes. Because he doesn't write those intros.
@@RabblesTheBinx Agreed, but they're under contract such that their "work products" (at least those specifically for the show and its related endeavors, are the legal property of Colbert's production company. But in Europe there is such a notion as "moral rights" such that even though all commercial value is properly with Colbert, they have a right (sometimes I have to bow in respect to those Europeans) to be acknowledged for what they've written.
It's just decency.
No. I skip these intros every time. They've become indulgent and trees do not need to die for this.
@@terrencezellers9105 I'm not saying that he should be crediting each one individually for every joke, but listing the Late Show writers as the authors is, as you said, just common decency.
@@jaymorf7374 the over-the-top indulgence in florid word play is exactly what the ""meanwhile-intro" art form is all about. Sad that you don't see it. While it's not an uncommon way to make fun of some topic or writings about it, the ability to remain (fairly) consistent and keep cranking them out is why I think it worth the effort. I'd spring some bucks for such a book.
You don't have to agree on the merits of this "art" and more pointedly you don't have to buy the book if it were to happen. I simply voiced the (as far as I've seen never else raised, but of course I can't know all of who's said what when) idea that such a collection would be worthwhile, at least to those of us who find value in amusing wordplay.
I'm so sad about come and go. Every time I go by one, when I'm on vacation because they're not in my area, I buy a ton of their lighters as really horrible souvenir gifts for friends. It always gets a laugh.
Freaking hilarious!!!! One of the best meanwhile segments
Now this is some extra high-quality Meanwhile
I remember that chain of convenience stores, we called it “Came and Went” 😁
Colbert is genius.
You’ll never take away our Minnesota’s Pump and Munch!😂😂😂
It’s like the definition of a panda: eats shoots and leaves.
I grew up in northeast Iowa, and in HS my friends and I came up with many alternatives for Kum and Go: Spunk ‘N Split, Jizz & Jet, and my favorite, Ejaculate and Evacuate. Kum & Go is an institution and should stay present with name in tact!
Is it me, or did someone let Colbert off the leash? He was great with the innuendos... but I'm getting a sharper edge. LOVIN IT
I'm surprised I'd never heard of Kum & Go before this. I wonder if one has ever been in the same shopping center as a Piggly Wiggly. That would be some fun signage!
Kum & Goo is the newest Peeps flavor.
Q Mango
That's hilarious ... and slightly disgusting too. 😅
Rub one out and bounce had being dying 😂😂😂
As one of my Iowa City friends used to say "They have gas at the Sperm and Split." hahahaha...
The clarient reference caught me by surprise at the beginning. Primarily because the references to the parts caught my ears, and then he said 'Buffett' instead of 'Buffet', which is pronounced just like the serve-yourself type of dining. Still laughed.
Meanwhile before bed
A beautiful show, team. Stephen, masterfully done. ❤
Was fully expecting "We'll be right back with Common Go."
I'm going to miss Kum-&-Go as a former midwesterner!
I've lived in Thailand. There are freaking snakes everywhere there. In vehicles, in trees, in the rivers....not surprised they upped their game and hopped a plane.🐍
Please pay your writers much much more !
No more fun signs? The federal government has terrible priorities...
Must be Conservative Mr. JOHNSON
Well. So long as I can still Jack in the Box, I'm good!
Fun fact: here in Japan, there is actually a donut chain called "Jack in the Donuts."
I love living in a place where English is considered exotic, so it gets put on absolutely everything, even when its meaning is not fully understood (or at least, when you HOPE its meaning is not fully understood!). ;)
@@Wyrdwad Jack in the Donuts have the best glazed donuts in the business.
🤣🤣🤣
If not, there's always road trips to CA for an "In-and-Out" burger. 😅😂 Talk about a burger with...ahem...Mayo on it. 🤣🤣🤣
I want to know what they are glazed with.@@AwesomeFish12
Meanwhile. I m lovin it
OMG, I'm dying! 🤣 Best Meanwhile ever!
I needed this! Thank you Stephen and your writers, thank you! 😂😂😂❤❤❤ BTW, I love peeps!
Classic Meanwhile! Also yes can’t believe Kum & Go is changing their name. Shocker.
A true laugh out loud Meanwhile.
I love Kum & Go!
Say it ain't so!
They're only changing their name, not shutting shop tho.
It's just not the same... though.
@@redliondeaddeer
Dam it America why are you talking about easter already!
Costco had Christmas things for sale before Halloween 😂
And my Costco isn't even in the US (I'm in Sweden)
One Word - Commercialism 💰
Easter is the next money grab
They shot all the Bunnies?
Canada is just as bad, went to Shoppers Drug Mart the other day and they had Easter candy out! Sigh!
Kum and Go is now known as Kame and Went
Shuffle & Split was right there!
I you ever make it to parts of Southern Colorado we have a Loaf- n-Jug. My dad tells me that our neighbor during the 1960s started it as a more local oriented convenience store competing with 7-11. They specialized in bread and milk, which probably irked the bakeries and dairies who did delivery. One trip and you probably could do groceries some less busy night. He did well, then sold it. Now you can't get either bread or milk there heading home late, because they don't keep those stocked as much as all kinds of other stuff marked up twice as high as a grocery, but open all night.
Thanks. We'll keep this in mind.
Top tier Meanwhile intro!
That has to be my favorite MEANWHILE!! The Kum & Go was priceless!
Signs are distracting but billboards aren't?
Damn good point!
Exactly!
Billboards aren't distracting because you know there's nothing important on them, so you don't have to read them. Highway signs are supposed to contain important information, so everybody should be reading them. Because everybody should be reading them, they should be as clear and simple as possible.
Best Meanwhile in ages.
Makes me almost wish I hadn't skipped the intro.
BRILLIANT...JUST...BRILLIANT !
Stephen Colbert you are a Comedic Genius!!!
"We'll be right back with Common... go"
"Mystery meat" looks like chicken 😂😂
I think it's the source of the meat that's mysterious. You are now required to reply, "The source looks like a chicken."
@@beeble2003 The source looks like chicken 😂
Alas, sweet Kum&Go. You never let me finish. I'll miss your magnificent word-play. 😢
Love a compilation of a Meanwhile to view.
It doesn't matter what color or flavor Peeps are
They are all fun to microwave and watch them swell!😅
This was fantastic 😂🤍🙌
One of the most entertaining MEANWHILE skits. Thank you!!
Feds really said no humor allowed on the highway... what a bunch of killjoys.
Can’t say enough about how much I appreciate you going after peeps, easily the worst Easter candy for decades.
Hilarious kum&go bug fart segment 😂
Gas station down the street from us is literally called “Pump n’ Munch”.
I always called Kum & Go the "Squirt & Scram"
Hi Steven
New regulations on electronic freeway signs kills the spirit of the L.A. Story movie. (It’s the first movie where after seeing the movie, the trailer playing in the foyer showed scenes I did not see, and I thought what the eff.)
"Rub One Out & Bounce"... I almost pooped my pants 🤣
Colbert's on fire tonight!
Bleat the shrieking jingle!
Kum & Go sounds like a one-night stand 😂😂
Has the writing really gone up in quality on this show recently or is it just easier to make me laugh nowadays? I normally get a few good smiles out of talk shows but I’ve been getting a solid belly laugh out of every recent clip from this one in particular
its quality stuff....surreal even
I feel like they have been getting gradually better for a few years now. I think it started with Stephen's slow descent into insanity during lockdown.
When travelling across the US on a long journey, I had to stop for gas. Kum and Go? LoL. Good upbeat laugh on the journey. Lets not lose "Fudge from Uranus!". Great fudge and sense of humor marketing.
Colorado native. Love going to kum and go's. Going to miss that name. Also in colorado we had some pretty funny highway signs in reference to driving high or drunk. You're not a bee - don't drive buzzed. some of them were pretty good haha.
1:35 Meanwhile starts.
First?
Yep
This one was a classic joke! 👍
Come and Go!!
Best Meanwhile intro in a while! 😂
I could watch a full hour of Meanwhile.
The BEST "Meanwhile" yet!
Best Meanwhile in a while! And that's saying a lot 😂
✨maybe a bug farted on her face✨ 😂😂😂 omg I laughed so hard!
"Dead possum shin bone" 😂😂😂
I feel the energy on this one. Holy FIRE!
