I find it completely unrealistic that Stephen managed to buy the invisible statue. John Oliver would have outbid them tenfold to get it first.
Please, John Oliver wouldn’t pay money for anything his audience couldn’t see.
this is one of the best meanwhiles in a meanwhile

Meanwhile...
Probably because John Batiste isn't eating half the episode adding nothing to it
@@JoeLaFon3 “Ohh…goodness…I mean…” - “Jon Batiste, everybody…”
Looks like 2 girls 1 cup
demanding visibility for an invisible sculpture is the peak of our civilisation
What about that time PETA may or may not have rescued Schrodinger's cat?
...a peak that points directly in a downward spiral. So goes the 21st century.
"Marks being marks"- Donald trump.
Next week in The Onion: WE GIVE UP The Onion has ceased operation, as we cannot find news stories with headlines outrageous enough to be clearly understood as parody. We had a good run. Good luck to us all.
Do these people not have an audience to give them an actual opinion? Idk how they manage to actual follow through with ideas like selling an invisible sculpture lmao. Its a joke kids come up with to get out of their art class. Maybe the artist bought his own work to get attention who knows ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ It's invisible after all so no one can really say what happened.
They didn't even realize the sculpture was stolen days before. The " art thieves" just walked right out the front door with it, like NOTHING happened.
That’s how big brains steal shit. Hiding in plain sight is the best stealth.
It would be funny to actually try and pretend you are stealing it if someone "put in on display" in an art gallery
@@over-cn7qw that's when you pull out your invisible badge and say, " move along,nothing to see here"

"He's on fire!" Jon Batiste, playing Zelda songs and making NBA Jam references. He's my hero.
Absolutely!
Was waiting for *"BOOM SHAKA LAKA"*
And he's so graceful. He's like a gazelle or something, when he was mimicking the shot after that he's so smooth and his body just has a way of moving that would look so odd and out of place on someone like myself but it looks so natural and effortless on him. Idk, he definitely has a way of taking up space but doing it in such a breezy way that you feel just...idk, chill. lol. I really like his vibe is what I'm going on about 😆
It's actually the song from NBA Jam
@@elzeromando Oh man, thank you so much for pointing that out. I didn't even realize, but you're right! You have made my day even more complete.
Those bowling balls were the victims of the Bowling Green Massacre of 2017.

The punch line would have hit harder if it were the ghost of Donnie from the big lebowski.
Thank you for that gem, oh wow.
I still half expect him to say quarantine while..
I liked it better...🎯
I miss it. That was one of my favorite parts of lockdown 😥😔
@@Zaddy-Lu Ohhhh yes, especially when he was being rude or naughty or just fake angry. It's hilarious 🤣
quarantinwhile does roll off the tongue easier
oh don't move on too fast ;)
British composer Mike Batt made a piece called One Minute Of Silence that didn't have a single note. It was total silence. He was sued of plagiarism by John Cage's estate, because JC had a piece called 4.33, that was four minutes and 33 seconds of silence. Batt ended up settling it with an undisclosed six-figure sum. Which is absolutely ridiculous because Cage himself stole it from French composer Alphonse Allais.
I always love how he always takes care of his "invisible" props, even with the "$18k" statue XD
The High Art world is just so transparent nowadays.
I saw that sculpture. I think I knocked it over.
clearly you don't get it.
I have an idea for a sculpture. I call it a Lunaglyph, like a geoglyph but on the moon. We send solar-powered excavation vehicles and automatons to the moon where they will shape a significant portion of the lunar surface into an enormous peace symbol that would be visible to everyone on Earth. But no one can make money off of it so it will simply never happen.
Dunno.. Anyone should be able to see through this scam...n'est ce pas?
High Art is often nothing to look at. (just gonna say it, so happy to see all these puns)
That invisible sculpture is best enjoyed while listening to John Cage's 4'33" in the background.
Once saw an orchestra perform that piece. Still blew my mind
I've seen both those sculptures and they're nothing alike.
That collective groan the audience made when they heard of the mac-n-cheese ice-cream. We feel it too.
Those "high tech" jackets are what every construction worker here in Japan wears every summer. They cost about $60. We've had them for several years now.
Stephen compared it to a PC cooler so maybe there are fins or heat pipes to draw heat away from the body quicker? Just a guess. Either way it's not a breakthrough- just something topical.
I could use one in a hot climate. You have to choose between sweat and sunburn every summer.
What. 😱
how effective are they? From what it sounds like, a little cooler wouldn't make much difference in 30 degree heat to me.
@@renhoek3851 On your neck? A lot of coolers focus on your neck as your vulnerable spot for being cooled down. I imagine that's also true in winter losing warmth there so you wear a scarf. Blood vessels close to the surface, perhaps. Google?
The one guy in the audience just shouting "DON'T DO IT" is a big mood.
Can't believe I missed that the first few times I watched this…
@@AwkwrdPrtMskrt "First few times" Don't worry. I watch that part over and over as well. His eyes are the perfect example of regret.
I really enjoyed this video, but in the last two minutes I couldn't see Stephen. Next time I hope he remembers to reposition the invisible sculpture out of the way.
👏👏👏👏🤣🤣🤣🤣
I know. Just because it's invisible doesn't mean you can see through it.
@@ericminch I think we ALL can see through it, except for whoever gave the "artist" $18,000. 😆
Thanks for following me
Plot twist... and take note that I’m the first to ever make this joke in the history of the internet... It was an invisible sculpture of John Cena
No, Stephen, an invisible sculpture sounds like something John Oliver would buy and I'd wager it wouldn't even be the weirdest thing he's ever bought. I'm sure HBO has a special budget for that alone.
He has a Warren G Harding wax sculpture that he used in a trailer for a fake biopic
@@Krishy-dz4ov Stephen can only dream of having a sewage dump named after him just because he made a donation with HBO's money!
@@LifenaDay525 He's helped a lot of food banks during the pandemic. We love him for the way he spends HBO's money!
Stephen can see a person wearing the One Ring. Stephen works for Sauron confirmed.
@cak01vej I support the Bombadil theory.
@cak01vej I came here to say this, but knew in my heart it had already been said.
Thanks for this. I didn't get the Frodo reference.
You'll have to put the wetted Olympian in a big plastic bag with dried rice.
That’s crazy! Dried rice just produces dust particles which clog up every crevice of the Olympian. You need actual desiccant packs (never forget to shove a couple in their mouths for added dryness.)
@@MyMarsham clogged up Olympian 😳 not a good sight 😅
Good thing the Olympics are in Japan this year then.
4:31 For the original invisible sculpture, I bid 32,000 invisible dollars.
I see your offer and I raise my bid is $40,000!
You can ALL have one! Just make sure your money is REAL!
@@cc1k435 it is real invisible money!
This joke is nothing, if not funny.
Here's my bid , , $
Love the, "DON'T DO IT." guy in the background.
Re: the invisible sculpture that sold for $18,000 ... I'd be very interested in seeing the person who REALLY paid $18,000 for an invisible sculpture.
It's just a tax right off for rich people. They don't actually care about the "art" and the invisible sculpture and the banana taped to the wall were both pieces meant to expose that to the general public.
Plot thickens the purchaser is invisible, oh by the way used invisible cash

"God is dead." "And we killed him... with Mac 'n Cheese ice cream."
A sentence that can only exists in America
I thought we beat him over the head with an invisible sculpture.
@@SirVic42 I was thinking roughly along the same lines...
I sincerely wanted Stephen to give us an honest opinion of the ice cream!

Are the ice cream manufacturers going for that coveted "pregnancy cravings" market?

Cheese ice cream has existed for literally decades in the Philippines where most people are lactose-intolerant. If they can do it, so can you!
@@AngryKittens Tasting History has a recipe from 1789: kzhead.info/sun/dbZwlt2viF-siH0/bejne.html
@@seileach67 That's parmesan and never really took off. The Filipino version is cheddar, which is closer to mac n' cheese, and is considered one of the most basic and familiar flavors of the American-era native "sorbetes". With other similarly exotic basic flavors being ube, mango, coconut, and pandan.

Stephen buying an expensive invisible statue is the peak of his long-time act playing with invisible props
Now I'm waiting for John Oliver to unveil his latest art purchase with business daddy's money!
He should get an up-to-date valuation on those invisible props, if only for insurance purposes. Accidents can happen: _Late Show Backstage Pass: The Invisible Props Department • Apr 14, 2018_
Last I heard the Invisible Props department is still in covid jail. Ever tried verifying that every invisible prop has been disinfected?
it would have been funny if he drop the invisible art piece on the ground and production add a breaking sound effect xD
Stephen Colbert is 2nd to none. He is hilarious.
That ice cream is about to be Stephen's #2
Building on an ancient bowler-ial ground is how you get bowl-tergeists.

Americone Dream is one of my favorite flavors from Ben & Jerry's!
How would you describe the flavour to a non American?
@@janemorriss4548, have you ever had/heard of drumstick ice cream cone? It’s similar to that. Waffle cone with chunks of chocolate and caramel mixed into vanilla ice cream. One of the small differences, I’d say is there aren’t chopped peanuts mixed in and usually it’s one flavour. 😊
It's so good - I was a half-baked loyalist for AGES but my roommate made me try it and it's my go-to now.
@@tanadarko6991 Same here!
It has a little bit of everything in it^^
Jon Batiste he's on FIREEEEE
Such crap stuff. Nobody likes it. It’s just pandering bs.
@@nbddhjjnodnfbjdbehe7006 what do you mean
@@kalvindotcom they mean they're mad they don't have a boyfriend or girlfriend and they need to take their frustration out on something
That spells "fiery". Adding more than one E to the end of a word cancels out the silent E. You're supposed to spell it with several I's instead. What you wrote is pronounced "fieryyyyyyyy."
5:00 Sculptor B has a serious Brother Theodore vibe coming off him.
that emergency dump joke got me LMFAO
"It's happening." That Mac&Cheese ice cream slogan could mean anything. From earthquakes, to volcanos, to Cthulhu summoning, to having your shoelaces tied together!
It was killing me trying to figure out why I remembered the song Jon was playing until I realized that he was saying “He’s on fire” because it’s the theme from NBA Jam.
Hello Andy hope you are doing okay over there?
I made a 15 minutes song with no music, and no lyrics - it’s literally the sound of silence - going for $50k
Simon and Garfunkel already did that.
Look up famous composer John Cage's 4'33".
sell the NFT & make millions
Wow, what a scam, I made a similar song and I only charged USD 35K.
I love John Batiste's exploration into various style of headwear. His indigo "Fez?" yesterday was spectacular!
This will go down as one of the all-time classic meanwhile segments!
Now that’s the real “massive dumps”. They had to flush 10 to 15 times to get it to the ocean.
Turd Reich's greatest quote.
Emergency dump callback was hilarious!
Hello Maurice hope you are doing okay over there?
I also bought my own invisible sculpture!
😶
Yours must be fake because l have one as well
I'm too poor to buy one, so I made mine, myself
@@RabblesTheBinx ok now you guys are just tryna lower the price of my original art
Colberts invisible prop work is always top notch.
"The same way we keep computers cool" So do I need to rub some thermal paste on my neck?
Colbert should sell his invisible props!
Invisible Sculpture 🤣🤣🤣. Crazy world!
God Bless You Jon! I also want to know how that Ice Cream tasted?🤔
Me too. It's bothering me a bit that he didn't give his reaction. I wonder how bad it is.
Agree lol
That reminds me of that fairy tale of Hans Christian Andersen, about a king fooled by two tailors. Any similarities with reality are purely coincidental.
In Japan, you can get squid-flavored ice cream or something less exotic like purple sweet potato ice cream.
The writers who write the openers to "Meanwhile" deserve a round of applause because these intros always crack me up!
I absolutely love Jon Baptiste spirit!!!!!
Stephen Colbert thank you for getting us to covid thank you personally from me you kept me laughing during the bad. The same yeah I lost my mom you and your wife a wonderful together and yes you still have the tightest band on TV you probably won't read this comment but if you do God bless you man
The emperor's new sculpture :-D
THAT OPENING SOUNDS A LOT LIKE THE BEGINNING OF NBA JAMS ON SNES!!!! :D haha! taking me back!
Every episode should start like this - So upbeat and lively
Just once, I'd like him to say "Folks, I spend a lot of time." and just pause there
Invisible art: when your good at money laundering
just hearing the introduction to meanwhile makes it all worth Mr. S.C , thank you for another great funny one !!
Well one person would be ok with the sewage spill...Frank Drebin! I love it!!
I guess two artists wrote the Emperor's new clothes story and thought, "you know what? People are so crazy nowadays, that may actually work"
here is an idea for the geniuses who came up with the cooling jackets: how about not wearing a jacket?
Hint like thousands of years old, clothes can protect you from heat, why you never see an Bedouin running around the desert 🏜 in spandex only 😉
You better patent " _not_ wearing a jacket" fast so you can profit. Maybe talk to the artist who did the invisible sculpture...
There's a fly in your face🤨
@@ragglock yes, thats why Bedouins in extreme sun wear thin clothes to protect them from the hard sun. not a freaking denim jacket in Tokyo that blows cold air onto your neck ... but you even said it yourself: clothes *can* protect you from heat. it all depends what kind of heat. extreme sun in a dry environment? yes, thin clothes are great and will help you. just heat and humidity: nah, wearing a thick jacket makes it way worse... wearing a white denim jacket that cools your neck in that situation... is just stupid.
@@ragglock There's a difference--humidity. Bedouins in the desert are merely shielding their body from the sun's heat. People in humid countries have to contend with the heat and the sweat not evaporating and thus cooling you off because of the humidity. So his statement about not wearing a jacket makes sense. Source: Someone who lives in a humid country.
Batiste playing some NBA Jam music? HE’S ON FIRE!
HAHA it was NBA JAMS!!!! Jon: "he's on fire!!!" :D
That one artist says he wants "visibility"? I thought he would demand for transparency.
Well, he didn't run for the dressing room after the first spoonful... Guess I lost that bet.
Stephen's a professional, he wouldn't do that till the camera went to commercial.
I was expecting him to instantly spit it out, but it looked like he was going for another spoonful at the end?
What an entrance, Jon! Amazed!
That callback to the mac and cheese ice cream sent me!!
C'mon, now! The band is a PARTAY in 2021, y'all!!! 🚀🌈
"Kraft", the worlds largest producer of non-nutritious and super processed..........."food"?
Stephen is really on his game tonight. I haven't laughed so hard in months.
Soon as I saw that term "emergency dump", I knew he was gonna do a call-back to that ice cream...😂
Well, I mean, first, I _refuse_ to believe that no one has suggested that particular flavor _before._ But second, it sounds _terrible_ and that's _probably_ why it hasn't caught _on._
I'm looking forward to chopped liver flavor.
Follow up flavor: mashed potato ice cream! Basically, it's frozen mashed potatoes...😐
Cheese and other savory ice creams have been around for a while. I would try it, but in small amounts.
These live audiences don't appreciate Meanwhile like they should.

How long does it take before the ads for the Mac & Cheese Ice-cream to say: "As shown on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert" ?? That one scoop is worth millions in free advertising.
It also depends if he really liked it.
I mean, I wouldn't say this was GOOD publicity
How many that didn't know of it before Stephen's bit, how many of those will buy one just to check how bad it is and finally how many of those may buy more because they either liked it and/or to show their social circle how good/bad it is? Even a bad reaction has it's value.
Remember, Stephen, Hungry Man is owned by Swanson; Bucker Tarlson makes money off disappointing frozen dinners.
