  daily show drinking game
(This is stolen shamelessly from the Fabulous Girl, who stole it from Wonkette...)

Take a drink every time Jon:

Says "Ehhhh… Not so much."
Says "Awk-ward."
Says "Nicely done."
Does his "Heh-heh-heh" Bush impression.
Shouts "Damn you!" at ceiling camera.
Says "You just blew my mind."
Makes an out-of-nowhere Jewish reference.
Says in a Foghorn Leghorne voice, "I said good DAY, suh"
Does some exaggerated chin stroking.
Does some exaggerated circular nipple stroking.
Pretends to mop his brow with his tie.
Imitates a comedian who 96% of Comedy Central’s audience has never actually seen, whether it’s his B-minus Jerry Lewis, his C-minus Woody Allen or his D-plus Johnny Carson.
Mentions his kids in an interview with someone who also has kids.

I would add to this a few other beloved but still somewhat annoying standard tried and oh-so-true Jon moves:

* The deer-in-the-headlights move when he's just watched a trailer of his guest du jour's latest movie, often accompanied by the crawling-out-from-behind-the-desk move, which while well-worn never fails to amuse.

* The ever-so-popular eye-rubbing "Whaaaa???" move, which is, seriously Jon, starting to get kinda lame.

But, still--you have to love the man, which means also loving his increasingly-predictable arsenal of physical comedy. What's not to love?
