Matt Damon: The Most Self-Deprecating Star In Hollywood Mayoral Endorsement
At first glance this seems less funny and less self-deprecating than the rest, but bear with us. The less self-deprecating isn't terribly surprising, given that Damon's very serious about his politics (check out his takedown of Sarah Palin for proof), and the less funny part is at least partly down to the fact that Mayor Bloomberg is not one of history's greatest actors, but what makes this clip worthwhile is Damon's facial expression at the end as he rather stiffly delivers his endorsement, looking like a primary school actor trying desperately to remember his lines while staring fixedly at his mum.

Matt's face when he realises Guillermo is with Kemmel's show is brilliant - you can see it in his reluctant grin that he's thinking, 'oh no, he didn't just do that to me!' You can see he's walking away thinking 'the swine!' I absolutely love it.
As for Team America - I actually sometimes get frustrated by the constant quoting of that because, his ability for self deprecation aside, I genuinely rate Matt Damon as an actor, and I can't say ghim in that respect without yecting with 'Maaatt Daaamon', it can get so tedious if you're trying to enjoy a serious conversation about him.
