Joe The Plumber Wants To Find Out Who Likes Him

We went to Joe the Plumber’s DTV homeland security education site to see if Ad #2 had surface yet, and no luck. But here’s a comical form, of sorts, where we are asked whether we “like” this man that the company is paying to endorse their products. In other words, they’re trying to figure out if people are signing up for e-mail updates to learn about their fake plastic space gizmo, or if people just want to be alerted for their next mocking blog post.

    I like Joe. Black with one sugar. Sam, on the other hand…

  2. Has SNL done a Joe-the-Plumber (that’s Jose-el-Plumbero) mockumentary yet?

  3. ManchuCandidate says at 3:36 pm, December 1st, 2008

    I never thought I would see the day that I would miss Paris Hilton.

  4. shortsshortsshorts says at 3:37 pm, December 1st, 2008

    There’s gotta be a way to get rid of this guy. I mean c’mon. This is insanity at this point. Please do something to make him go away, Wonkette. ANYTHING.

  5. WalnutsThePlumber says at 3:38 pm, December 1st, 2008

    Check here if you need your toilet snaked!

  6. Uncle Al says at 3:38 pm, December 1st, 2008

    Is there a place where I can check to say I want JoeSam to eat shit and die?

  7. This dude lacks the quiet dignity of a John Wayne Bobbit.

  8. WagTehGod says at 3:45 pm, December 1st, 2008

    If they were asking if we wanted to get notified when Joe gets a real job or when Joe has beaten this celebrity thing like a dead horse, let me know and I’ll be the first to register.

  9. wheres the check here if you want to see joe go down in flames box?

  10. obfuscator says at 3:50 pm, December 1st, 2008

    nurple: Or the steadfast integrity of a Carrot Top.

  11. sevenrepeat says at 3:50 pm, December 1st, 2008

    I’m just guessing by everyone’s responses that I am the only one who signed up to be notified.

  12. TGY: Joe’s life IS a mockumentary. That’s why we love him. I really wish this whole campign season had been a Robert Altman film (RIP) because it would have been more hilarious than MASH or Nashville, and we wouldn’t have to endure the post traumatic stress.

  13. Serolf Divad says at 3:57 pm, December 1st, 2008

    Check out he website folks, the next video in the series, with the skinny blond girl, looks very much like it’s going to be our long awaited Joe Wurzlebacher porn debut. Stay tuned.

    Joe: Hi, I’m Joe the plumber. I understand you need some help making the analog to digital conversion?
    Blond Girl: Ooooh, I’ve never done analog.
    Joe: Here, let me plug you in.
    Blond girl: Yes, plug me in now!

    Boom, chicka, chicka, chicka.

  14. Sara in the West says at 3:58 pm, December 1st, 2008

    nurple: Or the sparkling wit of the “Obama is an Arab” lady.

  15. Jukesgrrl says at 4:00 pm, December 1st, 2008

    Joe, if you make a commercial where you’re wearing a chafiyeh and speaking Arabic, let me know. Otherwise, I’ll pass.

  16. The Church of Realism says at 4:00 pm, December 1st, 2008

    What the hell does a clown-shoed, serial ass rapist like JoeSamBillyBob, who isn’t even a legit plumber, know about the digital TV transition? Am I living in the fucking Twilight Zone?

  17. I think that the Plumbers Union has some ‘guys’ that are gonna pay Joe a ‘visit’ and ‘explain’ that they don’t like unlicensed guys claiming to be plumbers.

  18. thedownlows says at 4:00 pm, December 1st, 2008

    actual text of note i passed my third grade crush:

    Lix: Would you like to be my girlfriend?

    yes
    no

    circle one.

    she was charmed. i think we smooched under the slide.

  19. Why it’s my former master Old Wurzlebacher, alive again! My goodness, Spirit!! It’s Wurzlebacher, in the flesh, bless his heart! And there’s Dick!…..Poor Dick. Dear, dear.

  20. kimbongil says at 4:03 pm, December 1st, 2008

    Sara in the West: She was my favorite character of the entire election cycle

  21. problemwithcaring says at 4:05 pm, December 1st, 2008

    shortsshortsshorts: This is an ironic blog. They’re working on eradicating him from the public sphere by posting about every shallow act he does for publicity.

  22. 4tehlulz says at 4:05 pm, December 1st, 2008

    So what happens when you sign up without checking that you like him? Does he send you even more e-mails begging you to be his friend?

  23. Serolf Divad: “Mein dispatcher says there’s something wrong with deine kable?”

  24. So what’s the CEO’s email address, anyway.

  25. blinky_twinkie says at 4:29 pm, December 1st, 2008

    Maus: The “Contact Us” page on the Velocity.com web site has an e-mail fill-in form that you fill out and then click to send them (in other words, they aren’t releasing e-mail addresses, more’s the pity). I guess they’ve had some trouble with Mr. The Plumber and his Snaky Snaky Minions before because the form says that they collect IP addresses and host names from commenters and will only respond to Murkins needing help with their cable conversion.

    shortsshortsshorts: Don’t worry, he’ll probably start working at Wal-Mart soon and be trampled to death by a bunch of ugly bitterz hoping to get their grubby hands on some retarded product, like a battery-powered flowbee with a glow-in-the-dark confederate flag on the side.

  27. p-Sludge ofTheElves says at 4:35 pm, December 1st, 2008

    joel on mst3k was listing all of the thing americans could be proud of. or something. then he said something like “… and then there is the time we as a nation said ‘no.’ to Yahoo Serious.”

  28. sarcasticusername says at 4:37 pm, December 1st, 2008

    where’s the “check here if you hate joe’s guts” button?

  29. Bypartizoa says at 4:38 pm, December 1st, 2008

    Joe The Socialist is forcing us to move to DTV. Is it just me, or does he resemble Lenin?

  30. Only in Amerika.

  31. Blue Jefferson Clinton the Cat says at 4:50 pm, December 1st, 2008

    Whoever dreamed up using this unsufferable douche as a spokesman should find his ass on the unemployment line soon enough. That said I would pay to see Joe the plumber fight Michael Lohan in “celebrity” boxing!

  32. rocktonsammy says at 5:03 pm, December 1st, 2008

    Wonkette made Joe a celebrity.

    DAMN YOU WONKETTE!!!

    OH, tee vee has Sarah on in Georgia, I love distractions.

  33. I’m not getting DTV. I will scrub off a 12 x18” section of my bedrooom wall and stare real hard at it while listening to my neighbors arguing. It will be a compelling soap opera and I will probably get an Peabody.

  34. So, how many people have been banned for life from Joe the Blog?

    It’s really the same as an armed madhouse over there. All people do is try to accuse one another of being fakers or hackers. They have their own group of finks to rat people out and tell you they are watching you to see if you are for real…

    Hey, it kind of reminds me of W’s government.

  35. Tony AZ82 says at 8:38 pm, December 1st, 2008

    This is way beyond 15 minutes…

  36. Freelance Minion says at 10:34 pm, December 1st, 2008

    Hey, hey, HEY!! I have one of those digital TeeVee converters seeing as how I can’t afford the thousand a month for cable or thousand dubloons of a new plasma warp reactor thing screen.

    AND I WATCH THE NUMB3RS!! There, I said it. I’m home on a Friday night and no less heterosexual for thinking that this Rob Morrow is a good-looking guy. Sometimes I watch it on my DeeVeeDee. Oh and there’s that hot but smart Indian chic, too.

    Now be nice or I’ll go back to watching the free porn on the Liberator Sex Furniture Tubesite.

  37. TexasCowGirl says at 1:05 am, December 2nd, 2008

    If Joe the Plumer and Sarah Palin don’t go away soon I’m going to have to start feeling the same way about them that I feel about TomKat and Brangelina. I used to enjoy making fun of them but now I want them dead. And that really is a terrible way to feel about anyone regardless of their obnoxious and shamless mediawhoring.

  38. Schadenfried says at 9:44 am, December 2nd, 2008

    TexasCowGirl: I just wish the Plumber/Palin sex tape would come out already.

  39. strudelganger says at 11:33 am, December 2nd, 2008

    Schadenfried: You shore got a little tiny piece of pipe there, dontcha? Gosh darnit!
