Another Herman Cain Smoking Ad?

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in 2012 Election, Cain, Comedy, Republicans, Video

Well, no, but a pretty funny parody of the weird one he put out early in the week. So why did Mark Block do it in the first place? Again…weird. This isn’t the type of attention these guys want, especially when you’re talking about the socially conservative crowd. It’s not like those folks are pro-smoking. [...]

VIDEO: News Outlet Sensationalizes Jon Stewart Interview About Media Sensationalism

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in Comedy, Media

Apparently the irony was lost on the Mail Online editors when choosing the hook for this story: It was pitched as a classic grudge match between the left and right of network television. And when Daily Show host Jon Stewart entered the ‘lions den’ of Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace, the results did not [...]

VIDEO: Obama And Meyers Kill At White House Correspondence Dinner

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in Barack, Comedy, Democrats, Media, Obama, Republicans, Video

I wouldn’t want to be Donald Trump today. Ouch. Obama’s part opened with the theme song “I Am A Real American,” and it just got worse for Trump from there. Trump jokes are at 9:45 in, but you’ll probably want to watch the whole thing. And then SNL’s Seth Meyers weighed in. His Trump jokes [...]

San Francisco Values – Hamburger Edition

By mw | Related entries in Bad Decisions, California, Civil Liberties, Comedy, Crazy, Left, Liberalism

My hometown supervisors again set up The City for national ridicule and general hilarity, this time with the ban on Mcdonald’s Happy Meal toys. I guess it is a good thing that in these trying times we can offer ourselves up to the rest of the nation as civic clowns to help lighten the national mood.

I fully understand that – in the most progressive major city with the most progressive governing body in the country – it is impossible for them to resist the temptation to occasionally succumb to their core belief that no one is capable of making decisions for themselves or their family without their benevolent dictates guiding forcing us in the right direction. But… when even the Daily Show is pointing and laughing – you’d think our Supes might get a clue.

The 12 Days Of Xmas

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in Comedy, Holiday, Video

And now…David Donar’s version of The 12 Days of Christmas…as featured on CNN. In David’s own words… This is an animated video I did as part of CNN’s 12 days of Christmas. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did making it. For some reason, animation and holidays go together pretty naturally. Maybe [...]

Sarah Palin’s Alaska – Land of BIG Spirits

By donar | Related entries in Alaska, Comedy, Palin, Television, Video

Sarah Palin’s new reality show claims to show her in a “natural” setting. I bet there are more interesting perspectives on this natural state.

President Obama on the Daily Show

By mw | Related entries in Barack, Comedy, Media, Obama

Barack Obama sat down for an interview on The Daily Show. I thought it was more enlightening than most “real news” interviews I’ve seen and an entertaining give and take. As is often the case these days, the harshest post-mortem criticism of the presidential performance seemed to come from the left.

“Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear” gets Taiwan animation treatment

By mw | Related entries in Comedy, Media, News, Obama

As these have become a cultural phenomena, I think we need a new word for stories that get the Taiwan animation treatment. How about “twam” – as in “Jon Stewart gets twammed.” Other suggestions welcomed.

Taiwanese animation, Christine O’Donnell, U.S. media, and an old joke.

By mw | Related entries in 2010 Election, Comedy, Congress, Delaware, Media, Senate

We know why NMA selected her for this treatment. It is because watching our media, NMA determined she must be a big story. The real question – Why is she such a big story here? Why is she getting so much new and old media attention that she pops up on the NMA meme radarscope?

Obama Makes Birther Crack At White House Correspondence Dinner

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in Barack, Comedy, Obama, Video

The titular joke comes in the first couple minutes…so you don’t have to watch the whole thing, but I’d suggest you do because it’s pretty damn funny. He also makes fun of Biden’s BFD comment, Eric Massa, the Jonas Brothers, Scott Brown, Michael Steele, Charlie Crist, John McCain, the new Arizona immigration law, his Nobel [...]
