Visuals: The Comedy Central logo is seen with glass flying by on a black background. Suddenly, the logo zooms out, with more glass coming through it. Then a black tilted square zooms out with the text "HOME ENTERTAINMENT" forming on it. Some of the glass tiles tilt.

Variant: A DVD variant exists with different animation. On a black background, the screen zooms out to reveal a black circle. Then, multiple Comedy Central logos circling around the ring zoom out. Then another black circle with more Comedy Central logos zoom out. Some more logos and later many circles zoom out until one last logo is seen. Multiple shots of it later appear with the logo in different directions. After that, a closeup of it is take as "DVD" slides in.
