The other night we were doing what we usually do at night: insult people different from us. Of course we bust out the bigotry while watching Colbert Report, when we witnessed one of the few things you don't usually see on TV: huffing nitrous.  Stephen busted out a can of whip cream and huffed it on national TV. Longing for a banana split trip ourselves, we scoured the fridge for a can. We can only imagine this is what it felt like for Colbert:

But because we're responsible here at Boosh, we figured we should let you in on the truth behind  "whippit".  Turns out taking a couple hits off the old Redi-Whip can actually mess you up hardcore. Headaches, nausea, loss of conciousness and vomiting - Wikipedia.

Not only does it mess you up, but it's illegal. We scoured the net and found some State Laws regarding Nitrous. Lucky for our favorite Comedy Central felon, New York is totally cool with those looking to get freaky with the whippy. But in 15 other states that take the laughing gas in a can very seriously, charges can range from misdemeanors to class 5 felonies.  Some states have laws banning the sale of whip cream cans to minors.

The more you know.

Thanks to Andrew for the trippy clip.
