Double

It's not a double unless it was posted to the front page, allen.

Double, and drab.
posted by lodurr at 12:27 PM on January 29, 2006

Well, drab then.

The next one down the page on the right ("Bush+Cheney: Touching your life") is much, much funnier.

Drab, I'll agree with. Definitely. Has this actually been an FPP, though?
posted by Evstar at 12:30 PM on January 29, 2006

On re-view, I'm glad we agree!

Wow, making fun of his vernacular....how 2002. You can't satirize comedy that already writes itself.

Two thumbs down.

Well, I'd consider a single-link FPP that was already referenced in a thread earlier that week as a double.

That kinda comedy'd not getting tired at all.

You could do that. But you'd be wrong.

Ah, this is my bad. Youtube threw me off and I assumed it was the same guy from the last post, just a different sketch from the same site. On official review, the poster did not make a football move and thus the callout is forfeited. Do I lose a timeout?

That was fucking hilarious.

He's right, the world has changed since September 9/11.

two blown callouts in one day, spaulding. Take some time off.

Meh. This is much funnier.

That was some fine presidating.

Heh, I just saw "Scarface", and am finding the "If Dick Cheney was Scarface" clip a frikin' scream.

The Jesus story made me weep.

"Drab"? Faded and dull in appearance? Or is that a MeFi slang term I'm unfamiliar with?

The video doesn't just make fun of his vernacular, tho it does that in new and hilarious ways. It also contains quite a bit of pointed political satire (e.g., a $400 reconstruction program for New Orleans and "the Gulf... Beach"). And yes, the Jesus story (a mangled version of the popular Footprints) was priceless. I laughed so hard I couldn't breathe.

Earbucket, that link made me bust. Yaza!

I laughed. The fellow had Bush down - with the exception of omitting that disconcerting jaw twitch.

Dick Cheney as Scarface is better

Oh come on now, you've gotta read past the first entry your dictionary gives you. People probably meant that the clip was "a woman prostitute."

As for the clip itself, the language mockery stuff is a bit overdone, but the guy does have the condescending speech style of bush down pretty well and I found that more interesting and amusing.

I would like to join the "I'm too hip to laugh at anything" club. Is there a membership fee?

Yeah, tristero's right; the guy's got Bush's physical mannerisms down pat. Fun to watch, thanks.
