Some excellent guy has written a script that parses the Daily Show archive on the Comedy Central site and “renders it in a faster-loading multipage format, providing links to open each clip, without ads, in the user’s choice of external, resizable media player window.” There are more than 600 clips in the archive.
It filled me with glee to discover that one of my all-time favorite Daily Show clips is in there: a segment from eight or ten months ago where Stephen Colbert started laughing so hard that the show ground to a halt for several seconds—the only time I’ve ever seen that happen (and thanks to TiVo, I’ve only missed a handful of Daily Shows in the last four or five years). Colbert was reporting from “London” about the widespread rumors that Prince Charles may have had sexual experiences with men when he was younger.
[Update, July 2009: I’ve now embedded this clip from Hulu instead.]

Eno’s Sydney Opera House projections.
Van Halen’s underwhelming original logo.
Billy Bob Thornton’s really high.
