[benalovesyou]

@K1NGSHK08  I'm a girl, thats my nickname u idiot

[darklifeproduction]

seriosly thought they were spelling everything backwords on purpose.....then i noticed the nbc logo back words (stupid canadian)

[DarthMikael69]

@darklifeproduction ?no snoitatonna evah ouy oD

[DJDialloRiddle]

haha - Folgers!

[farfuckinout]

It starts off like a Folgers commercial

[ZippOnFire]

3:28... haha, u fail

[Anathemal]

Anyone see that random blue box @ 3:07 ish. Also the best and most tolerable version of this.

[LaXaGaMEr]

@Anathemal Annotation showing how Stephen threw his mic up in the air, showing pure awesomeness.

[DarthMikael69]

@LaXaGaMEr That's right

[tasteslikebutta4]

He's as good as miss rebecca black!

[TheThogwar]

@tasteslikebutta4 Don't insult Colbert like that!

[GunghoGunChannel]

100x better than rebecca black cause colbert can sing

[EpicWinMan88]

Did you hear? Rebecca Black made a parody of this.

[X7mani]

AFRO MAN ... I SAW THIS GUY IN karima covers "Super Bass"

[ItzClobert]

About a dozen girls that are hott as hell? I think so.

[missesmetcalfe]

notice that guy thinking there's going to be another "yeah!" and jumps! :P at 3:28 soo funny!!

[metamonkeymachine]

everybody show them tiitys! cmon cmon now everybody now! everbody show them tittys now!

[gnewjetski]

Its even better when u hold ur laptop up to a mirror

[sammyjammywammy]

restart button -------> 0:00

[sammyjammywammy]

2:36 is the best bit

[reptaiden]

do i like this video?..... does rebecca black cut herself whenever she gets a bad comment till eventually her mom wanted to stop spending all of her money on her trips to the hospital so she removed comments from her video.

[pirucreek]

This song is so good I think it is sick anyone would either dislike Rebeccas or this.

[khalelthelegend]

@pirucreek rebecca black is an idiot 

[themusicmenTV]

Better than the original

[TheRockWings]

This is what we raise money for... HELL YEAH!

[jamaicashelly]

love it 

[ePiCMickster69]

at first i was like oh ha thats funny its jimmy fallon ( whos like my favrioute comedian ) is doing a gag of that shitty song friday, 1 minute later oh my god its stephan colbert, i watched his show once or twice, wow this is entertaining and funny, who will come out next i hope its... oh fuck its taylor hicks, CHANGE THE FUCKING CHANNEL NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[abcd1234781]

anythings better when stephen colbert does it

[kennychezgrl]

who's taylor hicks

oh

[bpbatch]

@kennychezgrl Who are YOU?

[GTA9876543210]

rebecca´s version is better...

not

[gogomushroom]

3:27 guy in white jacket thinks theres another YEAH

[jonathantu]

Colbert is the consummate entertainer, and the world's greatest troll.

[ChaosTsu]

Even Jimmy Fallon's parody of Rebecca Black's horrible singing is STILL better than the actual song. This version is great.

[fishcakefartopolis]

wow ive seen the parodies Katy perrie version and this its looks like almost everyone just hates rebecca black because the vids with her have 15000000 views and 95 percent of them mate it

[100chumbawumba]

This is so much better than Rebecca Black's version

[macrafthaha]

at 1:55 you can see the passcode lock on the door hahaha!

[Stradivarius8457]

Stephen Colbert is the king of everything. FACT

[MrWade2029]

thank you stephen colbert, you just changed my life. I

[MegaAstroFan18]

Fuck Black, I want Colbert and Fallon! These guys make the song enjoyable, I actually like it when these guys sing it.

[kanyeshallwin555]

black thought the super lyricist...

singing the rap part to Friday...

WHAT. THE. FUCK.

[jayzz54]

becca black has nothing on this guy

[whatnowsnoop]

Better than rebecas video.

[thesecitywalls3]

haha nice vid!

[1997mjmj]

pause the vid and click 5 or 8 lol

[Crown098]

The only reason this song started to sound good is cuz they started singing it

[CrazyMunky84]

Stephen Colbert was good but the Roots really demonstrated how fantastic and how versatile they were with this. They literally made a garbage song into a good performance.

[masterofaeons]

@CrazyMunky84 Literally? Shirley Manson didn't write Friday!

[CrazyMunky84]

@masterofaeons No not literally. Not a song by Garbage. A garbage song.

[TheSeditionary]

0:16

replay

[nessnake123]

Rebecca  became into a social phenomena

[GeneralKrunch]

112 people prefer the original

[greenorangeviolet]

What can Colbert not do!?! Love this!

[MegaAstroFan18]

@greenorangeviolet Stop Jon Stewart from cutting his wrist on a broken margarita glass.

[manfreako]

YADIRF lol

[Tutone66]

It would be better if Colbert could carry a note. The rapper and Falon can at least sing.  sorry but this makes Rebecca;s version look pretty good.

[74broadstreetbullies]

@Tutone66 what are you smoking ? and can you share ?

[thelonelyslayer]

remind me again how Taylor Hicks won American Idol?

[TikiKitteh]

I guess we should thank Rebecca Black. After all, this epic video wouldn't exist without that song.

[MegaAstroFan18]

@TikiKitteh If her and that ARK dude hadn't made the garbage, Colbert wouldn't have been able to pull it out of the trash and polish it into something decent.

[eymoose]

3:26 epic white guy fail

[xxfaultxx]

@eymoose What are u talking about? Watched it like 5 times, cant find any fail

[eymoose]

@xxfaultxx the guy in the white. you gotta wait a few seconds for this fail to blossom.

[iDance52]

...i enjoy this way too muchh

[ItalianScire]

It's sad that Colbert can actually sing this song a lot better than that one girl!

[happysquidboy]

epic

[lbmorgan]

WHAT???? No token black guy? That just ruined it for me ..

[DanceFromJP]

Everybody is russian.

[lux88aeterna]

i dont know how they got through this without dying of laugher!!

[derek94gt]

Epic

[sriteisrite]

Taylor Hicks LUOS LORTAP!

[prinny081]

i bet rebecca black wasnt even invited to this

[Angels941]

Epic video!!!

[DaBigChalk1991]

i love the way they know about 90% of the words and you can hear them mumble through some of it

[chiefsrulebr1]

It's Friday! Friday!

[CrazyMike8711]

Its YADIRF!



[WormYourHonor64]

@CrazyMike8711 ?YADIRF s'tI

[psx2514]

Why is everything mirrored?

[MentosMan727]

@psx2514 lol... I am sure you're trolling, but in case you missed the explanation in the video, people do that to avoid youtube automatically banning copyrighted content.

[FDAdenied]

Now this is television, reality TV needs to die. I haven't been this entertained by a television program since I was little :3 Love Stephen Colbert

[chekathuemail]

good job!:3

[t4medic]

this song promotes terrorism

[ZeroXLR8]

[deidara19973]

[smellylaundry]

[blurryeyedvisionary]

sounded like johnny cash in the very beggining, beast

[Caleb1497]

That's some good shit

[Scathe8000]

Black Thought is the absolute best replacement for that random black dude rapping

[TwoJeremys]

I want Colbert to come to my birthday party and sing this song

[Backgammon2]

i got goosebumbs from his voice and i am a man, damn sound great crazy

[MrOppsmybad]

3:28 the guy in white. LMAOO!!! hes the only guy saying YEA! at that part 

[laskmj24]

i love it i love it i love it

[Mauni94]

Awsome :DDDD

[RileyTime5]

So so awesome

[MentosMan727]

darthmikael69, the internet thanks you for illegally uploading this. Seriously, you made the net ten times cooler. Liked and favorited!

[jimbobanalbeats]

Epic! 

[23GrandMasterK]

It's actually a great song when Rebecca's not singing it.

[abcd1234781]

anything with stephen colbert is plain better

[Tresel43]

our 11126 likes is better than your 111 dislikes

[pichopm]

beettteeerrr hahaahaha



[danmanwick]

LOL @ the guy in the white swearter at 3:29 who thought the crows was gonna go YAH but they didn't

[phdbound10]

Stephen C. and Jimmy F. are jammin!

[marcohockeydude]

is it just me or does taylor hicks looks like an overweight version of george clooney

[AvirtualSwitzerland]

@marcohockeydude ....That's what I was thinking.....He's so fat, he can't get off the ground using no hands....what a trainwreck...

[Illyclone]

@AvirtualSwitzerland hey hes cool and not a train wreck he did an excellent job.

[zman962005]

This version is freakin awesome!!

[DthepopeP]

notice how when jimmy autotuned his voice he sounded just like any mordern pop star hmmmmm........

[Origin1993]

I love how that white guy in the jersey autotuned himself lmao

[LeonSakau]

I came.

[darthteej1]

Rebecca Black should be damn glad she's inspired legitimate musicians, people are executing their greatest talents in order to cover up for her shit.

[stsars13]

Black should be ashamed of herself for taking this beautiful song and turning it into a monster!

[lighhtningking]

YADIRF



[greenorangeviolet]

So. Freaking. Brilliant.

[pr3dator217]

mp3 plz

[spedracer12345]

I love how the only white musician in the roots is the bassist. Irony?

[ladysoul214]

this video really rocks.. rebecca's video really sucks.. :))))))))))



[usernamistaken]

lol at the tags

[pwnmaster77]

This is much better, i would actually WANT this stuck in my head. It probably will be stuck in my head tomorrow during summer PE, also im downloading the mp3 XD

[NotArmando]

SWAAAG! :)

[w10438]

Not even the Colbert Bump can help Rebecca Black

[skateklassik96]

The whole video gets good at 3:08 :))

[LostJedi26]

Haha. They sound like they're having so much fun.

Dumb lyrics, but I like the music, and especially what they did with this one when it picked up.

Nice job.

[Maciceight]

AHAMAY Drums Are The Best!!!

[chomsky88]

Even though they may be the worst lyrics of all time, the melody itself is kind of catchy. If I were Rebecca I'd be pretty proud to have my song covered by both Colbert and Glee. Not bad for a 13 year old.

[Codyman609]

Stephan Colbert can make this song a single on the radio.

[DarknessIsTheTruth]

Rebecca Black disliked this 108 times.

[razorlikeblue]

I am going to watch this every Friday.

[1997mjmj]

look its not that i like the original friday infact i hate it but that doesnt mean we should say bad things about her shes just a kid and we all make mistakes ... i mean come on people if this happened to you wouldnt you be upset that everybody is saying bad things about you ... who knows maybe her next song will be good or at least better than this one lol my point is dont screw with someones life if you dont want the same to happen to you .

[NaveNinja]

@1997mjmj Hey, wow, you've got a really good point! But maybe you should take it to a place where people give a shit.

[DarknessIsTheTruth]

@NaveNinja No need to be a dick, man. I agree with him.

[VeryDryBones]

@NaveNinja  people like you are really what make the internet fun

[NaveNinja]

@VeryDryBones "People like me" try.

[ILoveYouAishwaryaRai]

@1997mjmj

Yourreee aree rightt <33333 ^^

[1997mjmj]

@ILoveYouAishwaryaRai  THANKS

[xbritbrutalx]

This is more important than the paper I'm supposed to be writing. Stephen Colbert is so damn awesome. Jimmy Fallon is boss as hell, too.

[KrazySteelersFan]

wow, until i saw the disclaimer i thought they purposely put all the words backwards. i think it wouldve been funnier if that was what they originally did.

[cursitkkk]

gota love the albino wookie

[otisismydog19]

rebbeca black does a worse cover of this than metallica did of turn the page

[MrJGassy1]

Damn, Rebecca Black should Just go in her nutshell she calls her House after hearing This Guy ruined her, HES NOT EVEN A SINGER!!!, Although nor Is She lol

[lyvynthedream]

Colbert and Falon should go on dancing with the stars!!! Their dance moves really make this hilarious.

[kirstyasher2]

i bloody love this video

[PvtGermanWagz]

Rebecca Black did a terrible cover of this song.......

[littlbro0120]

okay I'm sure I'm not the only person who noticed this..

about a third of those dancers had mad camel toe...

[104Cheeto]

107 people are rebecca black fans :P

[Stradivarius8457]

@104Cheeto

LOL HOLY FUCKING SHIT HILARIOUS

[EpicWinMan88]

When Stephen Colbert sung this, you could actually listen to this without loosing your hearing

[svus]

@EpicWinMan88 lose != loose

[jackskellington562]

@svus Loose?

[DharoksPimp]

If only Rebecca and her friends looked,danced, and had a presense like the dancers in this video, I woulda masturbated to her video instead.

[Djangolulu]

why is it mirrored?

[sabinamahmoood]

I love the auto-tune on Jimmy's voice. Hahaha, so funny.

[MayMayKona]

Stephen Colbert actually made this song listenable! :D

[layla9615]

This song is so bad, I think I am the only person who picked up that they jacked up the lyrics lmfao

[TheHostageproduction]

i heard some girl named rebecca black did a crappy cover of this song

[purplypassion]

MANNN< his voiceis GREATTT

[YukiSohma1990]

I heard Rebecca Black made a parody of this song

[Godsmack2444]

@YukiSohma1990 She made a parody of a parody?

[MentosMan727]

@Godsmack2444 Naw, it's just what all the dumbass kids on every black related video say to try to get top comment.

[Godsmack2444]

@MentosMan727 Ah, thought as much xD.

[thewhitestassasin]

sounds country

[thehelloamnd]

I really hope these people dont think she actually covered this song.
