As you're well aware, today is Valentine's Day, the annual holiday commemorating the events of February 14, 1978, when St. Valentine chased all of the snakes back into Ireland. And I don't know about you, but I simply can't think of a better way to say "I Choo Choo Choose You!" than by presenting you with this fragrant bouquet of fresh-cut Daily Show clips. What'd you get me?

More below.

The Daily Show airs Monday through Thursday at 11/10c.

Rue Brutalia kills it with their latest video, chronicling douchebag history with the origin of the fist bump. [Cracked]

Speaking of killing it, Broad City recruits Amy Poehler, Kristen Schaal and a bunch of other NY comics for their new video. Stop killing it everyone! My videos of silly impressions and cats farting won't get me an agent with all this competition! [Broad City]

Louis CK outlines his pitch for directing a movie, "Eight million bucks. It'll take about six months to finish it. But you don't get to know anything about it.." [Esquire]

The trailer for Conan O'Brien Can't Stop is out online, and it looks great. Apparently, it's pretty honest and doesn't pull any punches about his feelings after the late night mess. [AV Club]

Marc Maron interviewed Garry Shandling on the latest WTF! Listen to it, nerds! [WTF with Marc Maron]

I usually don't like dealing in celebrity gossip, but in this interview with the three Hangover stars, Zach Galifinakis reveals he and January Jones were rude to each other once. But the WHOLE interview is funny and interesting, so read it! [Shortlist]

Speaking of The Hangover guys, Ed Helms, Bradley Cooper, Zach Galifianakis and Ken Jeong were asked to interview themselves and it quickly devolved into chaos. Pretty fun chaos. [Moviefone]

As you've no doubt heard, The Rapture is tomorrow, which means in a few hours, this blog will be unmanned. All that will be left where I'm sitting is my laptop, a Snuggie and some flip-flops. But before I go, I thought I'd mark the occasion by putting together this collection of apocalyptic Daily Show and Colbert Report clips, so the less fortunate among you will have something fun to watch during the Tribulation.

Over the weekend's Ed Helms-hosted episode of SNL featured the revival of The Ambiguously Gay Duo, which, as you know, features the voices of Stephen Colbert and Steve Carell. But this particular installment of the series took things to a whole other level, casting Jimmy Fallon and Jon Hamm as live-action versions of Ace and Gary and Ed, Stephen and Steve as the villains. I'm going to go ahead hold my breath until this becomes a feature film. A blogger's life is in your hands, Hollywood!

The Colbert Report airs Monday through Thursday at 11:30/10:30c.

We all love Lizzy Caplan, Joe Lo Truglio, Ed Helms, Rob Riggle, Kyle Gass, marijuana (just kidding!) and improv (really just kidding!), right? Then clearly we will all love High Road, a film about stoners doing stoner things. It's written (we assume loosely, given the improv) and directed by UCB founder Matt Walsh.

Also, if you are a fan of cute 19-year-old boys, you maybe would enjoy the appearance of one Dylan O'Brien. There's nothing wrong with adding sexy baby man-candy to hilarity, right? Other comedy directors, please note: put this kid in everything you do from now on. Sure, he was born in the '90s, but that just means we have many more years to enjoy his hotness… um, and the trailer? Yeah, here it is. (NSFW)

Rachel Dratch is writing a book about "what happens after her time on the show is over — when the only acting roles she gets offered are obese lesbian secretaries…" [Splitsider]

Ed Helms on how the career lines between film and TV have changed, "The value from a career standpoint of television vs. movies has, I think, over the last 10 years, become harder to distinguish." [AV Club]

The New York Times has a great piece on The Book of Mormon. I like this Trey Parker quote: "We wanted to make this not just cynical and Mormon bashing, but hopeful and happy, because to me that’s what musicals are about." [NY Times]

MTV President Van Toffler says the new Beavis and Butthead will expand to making fun of more than just music videos, "This time around, they'll watch Jersey Shore, UFC matches and user-generated videos from YouTube, in addition to music videos." [Rolling Stone]

Joe DeRosa directed this music video for Tom McCaffrey's new song Hack Killers, featuring Ted Alexandro and Aisha Tyler. The song is about killing hack comics, which is something I don't actually support, but I secretly kind of do. [Atom.com]

Let's try to get through this without judgment: Lindsay Lohan's "friend" calls Late Show with David Letterman to get her to do a bit on the show. Lindsay denies any of her "friends" did this. Turns out that "friend" was her father. [TMZ]

Laura Prepon, from That 70's Show, will play a young Chelsea Handler in the NBC pilot based on Are You There, Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea. [Punchline]

Dan Harmon answers questions from Reddit, "The writers want the same thing from the show [Community] that you want, for the same amount of time.  I don’t expect it to cure cancer or feed Africa but I want it to live and breathe a full life." [Dan Harmon]

Speaking of Hari, here is Hari speaking, "I started seeing the power of standup as a way to express frustration and create a unique experience for myself and the audience that was not only funny, but potentially powerful…" [Rooftop Comedy]

Here's a list of the most 10 most controversial comics of all time. For some reason, they left out Cockballs McYellingtaint. Glaring omission! [Pop Crunch]

What will the future of The Huffington Post look like now that AOL has purchased the site? A lot like the past. [Funny or Die]

Of all the seven deadly sins, sloth is the only one that is named after an animal. And it's a good thing, because I think a three-toed lust would probably be pretty terrifying. Anyway, I was going to come up with some better jokes than that, but in the spirit of this video, I took a nap instead.

The Daily Show airs Monday through Thursday at 11/10c.

Which is your favorite of the seven deadly sins? Personally, I can never decide if I like sneezy or bashful better. But if you like gluttony, then this is the Daily Show mashup for you. Best of all, when you're done watching, you can batter it, deep-fry it, top it with sausage gravy and devour it whole.
