This is from Tuesday, but it’s too funny to ignore: The Colbert Report made a web-only video using the famous clip of Stephen Colbert falling and breaking his wrist, with the members of Green Day playing him off keyboard cat-style:

The Colbert Report Mon – Thurs 11:30pm / 10:30c
Exclusive – Play Him Off, Keyboard Cat

Trying to think of how I would describe that video to the people of even March, 2009 is making my brain hurt. Somebody needs to slow the internet down. (Via CC Insider.)

  1. Nice try Green Day, I’m still not buying your shitty music.

  2. Green Day….I’m not supposed to like you….this complicates things……ugh.

  3. internet.. you have outdone yourself today.. kudos!

    (and yes.. green day.. i have far more important things to do with my time than develop an appreciation for you.. please stop..)

  4. Between this and the Walmart boycott, we have to like Green Day again? This feeling is so ’94.

    Also, welcome back Lindsay!

  5. Nope not falling for it Green Day. Now wipe off the eyeliner, you are adults.

    • if glenn beck ever crawled out of his doom tank long enough to write a song, that’d be it – but without the *wink wink*.

  9. did anyone find a canadian link? canadian comedy network is all fluff. pass jon dore, pass.

  10. I hate that Green Day is (are?) likable as actual people, because it makes it that much more sad that there music is sucking so bad lately :/

    Also, Stephen Colbert’s little composition is totally the best.

  11. the big question here is: how does the singer-guy look so young? the other two senior citizens do look like senior citizens (to be fair, they look more like iguanas, but whatevs), but this guy looks just the same than when they started, back then in the mid 60s. is it the hair? the guyliner? the angry teenager souls he eats for breakfast? i look older and i must be like half his age! (i’m 65 BTW)

  12. I like Green Day.
