It's the planned spontaneity that makes the "Anyway." slide work. His setup and delivery of this line is so enthusiastic, natural, sincere that it couldn't be planned... yet there's the slide. Cute theatrical technique.
Here's an idea: treat the slides like a ventriloquist's dummy, so that they counter your argument, mock you, undermine you. You could have a conversation. You'd need theatrical skills to pull this off.
Please reply to this comment if you try this out!

- 12ren 18y agothanks, but Hulu says "not available in your country" :( oddly enough, the colbert report's own site is happy to share it worldwide: http://www.colbertnation.com/the-colbert-report-videos/211989/december-02-2008/the-word---a-man-named-plaxico http://www.colbertnation.com/the-colbert-report-videos/21198... It's a similar idea, but the charm of it really coming from the speaker (as in a ventriloquist's dummy) is missing.
