The Daily Show was off Monday night for no reason, so last night, when Jon Stewart launched into the show’s lead story about the big pirate crisis that began last week, we could all be forgiven for thinking “Shit, Jon, everyone’s already made all the jokes about this! Stop!” But once again TDS used their ever-growing timeliness handicap to their advantage with a two-part, hilarious pirate package that literally had something for everyone, including Muppet scat and a high-tech computer simulation of the rescue:

I think my favorite part of this entire thing was “Of course…people did die. But they were pirates!” (By the way, there are currently 161,000 Google entries for “muppet scat.”)

Surprisingly, there are no Google entries for “muppet femskins.”
i think the flag billowing in the breeze was my personal favorite.
This should be a lesson to the entire internet that just because you didn’t pounce on something the first nanosecond the news broke, that doesn’t mean your response to it is unfunny or unworthy of being expressed. I hate that.
Great, now I have that song in my head!
I love that muppet clip though, in fact someone showed it to me on their ipod last week. Very weird coincedence.
My Little Pony, where will your next adventure be?
The best rock n roll of 2009!
I love this so much. Ah…
FUCKIN AWESOME. HOW CAN YOU NOT BE PROUD TO LIVE IN THE US OF FUCKIN A MY FRIENDS! LEAVE IT TO THE NAVY SEALS TO BRING THE TORRENT OF PAIN DOWN ONTO SOME PIRATE PUSSY AND SAVE THE DAY.
I’m sure some of you liberal types are all boo hoo over this, but seriously america fuck yeah ya’ll. This is the best thing I’ve seen all goddamned day. I fucking hated those pirates, and I’m glad to see are military force can still bring some swift hurtin’ under the current administration.
