    And the world fell to its knees.

  2. tonashideska says at 2:09 am, October 7th, 2008

    If the Vietcong had used this tape to torture Mccain, he would have given up even more war intel.

  3. shortsshortsshorts says at 2:11 am, October 7th, 2008

    That was a violation of Walnuts and his recently obtained principles.

  4. Smoke Filled Roommate says at 2:15 am, October 7th, 2008

    Agreed. I couldn’t get through two minutes.. I wish the Kobos was Amy Sedaris.

  5. UglyLoser says at 2:25 am, October 7th, 2008

    Like most sequels, it’s bloated and completely misses the point of the original.

  6. Poliscide says at 2:30 am, October 7th, 2008

    “Keep your bars up, America! In a McCain administration, you’ll never have to ‘roam’ for freedom again”. Sounds dumb, but at least it avoids talking about the economy.

  7. lessreal says at 2:37 am, October 7th, 2008

    This must be what it’s like when you “spice up” your debate drinking games with ayahuasca… A vision quest of dumbness.

  8. Anonymous Office Zombie says at 2:41 am, October 7th, 2008

    I don’t care what people think, I thought it was epic. And an accurate, as far as his supporters and their views and all of their collective (ir)rationals. The crowd shots and slogans were the best.

    “What about you sir, why are you voting for John McCain?

    “I believe in God, don’t I?”

    This really is a pretty pathetic video. When I come to Wonkette I’m looking for wit, not this drivel.

    I come to wonkette for references to BrakeNutz. http://www.brakenutz.com/

    I’m not that crazy about derivative products ideas. Sure, Truck Nutz are a classic, and Walnutz! was clever, but now we get BrakeNutz. The big markets should be Golfbag Nutz, and especially Mortarboard Nutz, for graduates. If you can’t sell Mortarboard Nutz to grads at U. Texas and U. Oklahoma, you can’t sell meth in Wasilla.

  13. themightysea says at 3:45 am, October 7th, 2008

    Now I have a strange craving for GrapeNutz.

  14. S.Luggo says at 4:27 am, October 7th, 2008

    The video is no longer available for viewing. I therefore the lack courage which America needs in the face of the wrenching, neocon-caused poverty of the 21st century.

    I’m singing in the rain,
    Just singing in the rain,
    What a glorious feeling,
    Kill me.

  15. S.Luggo says at 4:38 am, October 7th, 2008

    villageatrois: You silly-silly-billy gloomy, gloomy Gus. Why, there will always be a happy little bluebird singing in the sky.
    Just take your out Glock and shoot it. Makes for damn good eatin’.

  16. S.Luggo says at 4:59 am, October 7th, 2008

    Lead singer Julia Kobos was recently graduated from: tiny-yelping-baby murdering, neo-Marxist, piss-urine-yellow-on-our-noble-flag Bennington College. She gained a major in organic oat sprout cultivation and a minor in Che Guevara.

    S.Luggo: why are you talking to yourself?

    Just take your out Glock and shoot it. Makes for damn good eatin’.
    I bet you’ve never shot a gun.

  18. villageatrois says at 5:30 am, October 7th, 2008

    Walnutz is saved! His running mate is Governator up in the Clown-dyke. And she’s all pretty lookin and such as. And you can evaluate her state of arousal through her parka and winter sweater.

  19. East of Sweden says at 5:33 am, October 7th, 2008

    I think the book version is still better.

  20. Serolf Divad says at 5:36 am, October 7th, 2008

    I wanted to like it….

    The “I believe in God don’t I” guy was pretty good, however.

  21. Darehead says at 6:23 am, October 7th, 2008

    I say it’s a phony. There was no “I’m Walnuts and I approved this message.”

    Still, I liked the ride up the wargasm chart.

  22. 2druk2phluq says at 6:43 am, October 7th, 2008

    I stumbled into this before 6:00 a.m. I opened the video straight from the news reader thinking, “Oh, cool, a Wonkette recommended visual.” Well, you know what I saw.
    Does it ever fucking end?
    Worst McCain impression imaginable.
    Jesus, am I liveblogging this video?

    Coffee, need coffee.
    I’ll get you for this, Wonkette.

  23. wheelie says at 6:43 am, October 7th, 2008

    Did you hear the one about Jerome Corsi going to Kenya, and the authorities there detaining him? No? It’s true!

    See this BBC story.

  24. Darehead says at 7:10 am, October 7th, 2008

    wheelie: Haha! Can’t wait to see Wonkette’s graphic on that one!

  25. Darehead says at 7:17 am, October 7th, 2008

    2druk2phluq: “Worst McCain impression imaginable.”

    Has anyone ever seen a McCain impersonation at all, let alone a good one? Where are you, Dana Carvey….?

  26. ExecutorElassus says at 7:24 am, October 7th, 2008

    What was with the big talking-purple-boot dream sequence? I kept hoping it was going to turn into some sort of hideous orgy, like Topless Robot always does. Alas! This just ended up being some over-produced derivative of the gloriously avant-garde original.

    C’mon Sal! Challenge us! I need something appalling to roll around in, like that dog does whenever he finds something foul and rotten.

  27. Anita Cocktail says at 7:27 am, October 7th, 2008

    Sucks. Ass.

  28. Delicious says at 7:35 am, October 7th, 2008

    so, um, yeah.

    Hey, I just found this book: Spanish for Law Enforcement Professionals.

    Translate this:

  29. gurukalehuru says at 7:40 am, October 7th, 2008

    I watched about 30 seconds. Really, that was unbelievably, incredibly lame. Where were the Oompa-loompas and Harvey-sized bunny rabbits?

  30. cheeto_jeebus says at 7:47 am, October 7th, 2008

    me cry tears of blood.

  31. I miss the Raining McCain Girls.

  32. HollowBrain says at 8:26 am, October 7th, 2008

    Nut hard enough.

  33. Street Organizer says at 8:35 am, October 7th, 2008

    That shit had me cracking up.

  34. Doctor Klaproth says at 9:16 am, October 7th, 2008

    “If God tortures you, well by golly, torture the body politic of America”?

    Where are the Academy Award nominations?

  36. Hairy Reed says at 9:24 am, October 7th, 2008

    Dear God that was long.

  37. A 10-minute Internet video is like a 5-hour movie; it just doesn’t work. Then again, it did inspire this comment: “This really is a pretty pathetic video. When I come to Wonkette I’m looking for wit, not this drivel.”

  38. Rusty Shackleford says at 9:43 am, October 7th, 2008

    ExecutorElassus: Seriously, it was like a lame ripoff of Aqua Teen Hunger Force, but without the funny.

  39. sanantonerose says at 9:43 am, October 7th, 2008

    I believe in God, don’t I?

    Yep. That was the best part.

  40. Smoke Filled Roommate: Yes, yes, I couldn’t get through that. That’s 10 sec of my life I’d like back.

    Also, can we persuade WALNUTS! to go to India so he can become BOLLYNUTS! Or something.

  41. I waited two years for this?

    This will make you all feel better.

    Here are the funniest videos I’ve found about this election:

  42. I liked how the bad green screen effects made portions of Walnuts’ head disappear.

  43. lumpenprole says at 10:36 am, October 7th, 2008

    I liked the whole thing. Rising up the wargasm chart was pretty hilarious.

  44. Gopherit v2.0 says at 10:39 am, October 7th, 2008

    Brevity is the sould of wit, Ms Kobos. You knew that once.

  45. Gopherit v2.0 says at 10:41 am, October 7th, 2008

    Gopherit v2.0: Dammit. Soul.

  46. President Beeblebrox says at 11:13 am, October 7th, 2008

    heyzeus: On a truck with Washington plates, no less. Well, venture outside Seattle and it’s a whole different ball o’ wax.

    And, zomgz, WTF will I do if my TruckNutz are chipped or scratched?

    “The Bumpernuts truck nuts were more expenisve [sic] because they were made of aluminum. Also, they would have been painted on the outside, which I thought would lead to possible chipping or scratching.”

  47. Basil Morningwood says at 11:21 am, October 7th, 2008

    The scale of things that suck now goes like this. Dust Buster —–> Vacum Cleaner ——> Divine Brown ——-> Black Holes ——> Walnuts 2

  48. As a prof of mine once wrote on one of my papers, “Conciseness is a virtue that ought to be more widely appreciated.”

    The genius of the original is that it was quick, to the point, and yet somewhat absurd. This was just… too long. Of course it’s a bad John McCain impression, that’s not the point! Except, the longer it is, the more you notice it’s a pretty bad John McCain impression.

  49. CaptainMorgan says at 12:09 pm, October 7th, 2008

    It’s time to send this maverick to the glue factory!

  50. natteringnaybob says at 12:09 pm, October 7th, 2008

    lame

  51. UglyLoser says at 12:14 pm, October 7th, 2008

    I never understand why these amateur sketch videos are so long. The average sketch on SNL/Kids in the Hall/Mr. Show/whatever is five minutes. The Digital Shorts on SNL are often no longer than three minutes. But these guys who crack their friends up and took a couple classes at Second City always think they’re hilarious enough to sustain seven to ten.

    “I believe in God, don’t I?” was the best part. It should have started off with three one-liners from the crowd, then cut to Walnuts. In fact, they should reopen the Final Cut Pro project and cut this shit down to half its length.

  52. WAIT JUST A DAMN SECOND.

    For two years I’ve been operating under the assumption that Walnuts was being played by an awkward adolescent boy with a possible pituitary condition.

    YOU ARE TELLING ME THAT IT’S BEEN A GIRL THIS WHOLE TIME? I’m speechless.

  53. Anita Cocktail says at 3:37 pm, October 7th, 2008

    bethby: I agree. If by “funny” you mean “really stoopid.”

  54. druranium says at 4:43 pm, October 7th, 2008

    I thought it was funny. You are all a bunch of arugalitists.
