Better know a reddit logo (AKA, the Colbert Bump)

You may have heard that Stephen Colbert gave reddit a shoutout last week during his segment introducing Movits! (who rock, btw) a Swedish swing-hip-hop-jazz band he discovered on our site.

Needless to say (and as I'm sure my neighbors can attest) we got a little excited. And yes, though it wasn't a direct Colbert Bump - more of a Colbert Nudge - we did see a nice little spike the following day. Movits! is no doubt feeling Äppelknyckarjazz-tastic after the exposure; we'll be running some complimentary ads on reddit for their new album because they rock (röck?) so much.

Luckily, Stephen Jr. saved the day


If this were Mortal Kombat, Colbert would have just scored a fatality (or maybe animality?)
