Thanks for your suggestions, America! We mostly agreed with your favorites, although a few “dark horses” made the final list because why not. Also, these are only teevee clips, not random D.I.Y. YouTubes of, what, Lego Sarah Palin in steampunk goggles fighting Darth Vader (Ron Paul) the fire-breathing dog with a sack of dildos & unicorn blood. (Someone please make that.) And so above — as a bonus! — we’ve posted the ABSOLUTE best self-made YouTube of 2008, in which the Paultards chase down Sean Hannity on a cold New Hampshire night. Hannity finally escapes into the hotel; the Paultards immediately grow silent until one lone hero yells, “You suck, Sean.” Man, New Hampshire was so much fun, everyone there and not one with a clue…

10. On Election Day, celebrated Fox News retard Steve Doocy sees some random black dude in a beret walking into a polling location somewhere and claims he is “Barack Obama.” A black woman is somewhere in the room too, and guess who Steve Doocy thinks she is?

9. HEHNGNN?

8. The fairest letterputtertogetherer in the shining glen of silks & forestry that we humans call the Wall Street Journal, la regina de psychomajestical perambulatory paragraph smatterings, l’America’s secular Hera transmitted live from thine bucolic chateau in a sterling silver pod that graces Jupiter’s moons with her veritable orbit, MS. PEGGINGTON NOONINGTONSHIRE… uhh goes off the air and starts cursing like a mick.

7. Mitt Romney actually was Ronald Reagan when Ronald Reagan was president, because of magic. Ronald Reagan. Just saying. (Reagan.)

6. In Sarah Palin’s first teevee interview with Charles Gibson, she says retarded stuff.

5. APPEASIN’ HITLER IS WHAT OBAMA’S DOING THERE, CHRIS MATTHEW, APPEASIN. HITLER. OBAMA APPEASED HITLER APPEASE.

4. Amazing Fox News clown “Griff Jenkins” discovers some hippies protesting the DEMOCRATS, of all things, who have never ever supported a war! As they freely assemble and speak freely, Griff pretends that they are hurting him and barks at them, “WHY DO YOU HATE FREEDOM?”

3. That first dodge is the best thing Bush has ever done as president. What’s even better is that dumb grin he puts on almost immediately after.

2. Hannity to Colmes: “Let’s see how YOU act after YOU get beaten for five and a half years.”

1. Even by the standards of our politics, this is the most embarrassing thing we’ve ever seen — for Sarah Palin, for us, for our Country. We mean that. And all it took was KATIE COURIC applying the pressure.

Liz getting dog-mauled at the convention is a classic, tho.

Kev-O-Tron December 30, 2008 at 2:57 pm

The Bachmann rant didn’t make the list? I’m investigating our editors as we speak. This smacks of anti-American views.

actor212 December 30, 2008 at 3:01 pm

Tina Fey didn’t make the cut? The SNL Obama/Clinton debate “Can I get you some water, Senator Obama?” didn’t make the cut?

This was rigged, RIGGED I tells ya!

El Bombastico December 30, 2008 at 3:02 pm

Top 10? We could put together a Top 147.

Anita Cocktail December 30, 2008 at 3:04 pm

I think you made a spelling mistake. Isn’t that guy in Number 10 named “Steve Douchey”?

Come here a minute December 30, 2008 at 3:06 pm

Cool! They got Oprah voting on the FOXnews!

getoffmylawn December 30, 2008 at 3:09 pm

What, no clip of Foghorn Leghorn Thompson gagging his way through his cameo at the RNC convention?
You are guilty of discriminatory actions against elderly throat-clearers. And where’s the Barney-cam video where he bursts into the Lincoln bedroom only to see……..

Kev-O-Tron December 30, 2008 at 3:13 pm

That top video is the Paultard equivalent of Girls Gone Wild. Seriously, I think they masturbate to shit like that.

HuskyMescan December 30, 2008 at 3:14 pm

Yes!

HuskyMescan December 30, 2008 at 3:18 pm

Ronald Reagan would not approve of this list.

It’s a clear winner:

“Explain to me why that enhances your foreign policy credentials”
“Well, it certainly does, because our next-door neighbors are foreign countries, there in the state that I’m the executive of.”

ManchuCandidate December 30, 2008 at 3:23 pm

I was hoping for Hannity vs The Paultards where they chased his ass all over New Hampshire.

finallyhappy December 30, 2008 at 3:23 pm

I don’t watch Fox news- so based on the clip from the convention- the woman who introduced the piece looks like a hooker – but when she talks- not as bright and the guy – Griff(what kind of name is that?) seems to have a speech defect(also he is an idiot)

shortsshortsshorts December 30, 2008 at 3:28 pm

You know… I e-mailed VIOLENTLY and REPEATEDLY to get the Peggy Noonington video on here, but in retrospect the “APPEASER” video is probably the funniest and most embarassing moment of 2008.
The end.

Min December 30, 2008 at 3:29 pm

Sean Hannity is a dick. And a willfully obtuse dick, at that.

KTHXBAI December 30, 2008 at 3:31 pm

Wait what about the clip of John McCain he hates all of western Pennsylvania?

“Senator Obama’s supporters have said some pretty mean things about Western Pennsylvania and I couldn’t agree with them more…I couldn’t agree less I agree with you more Heeeeennnnnnggh I was a POW Bill Ayers Acorn. The end.”

crikey_booya December 30, 2008 at 3:35 pm

WTF? No turkeyslaughtergate?

Bruno December 30, 2008 at 3:35 pm

[re=206918]shortsshortsshorts[/re]: It totally amazes me that someone can go on shouting about nothing for 7 whole minutes. I guess that’s why I don’t watch Fox or listen to talk radio.

OffTheRecord December 30, 2008 at 3:38 pm

Appeasing Hitler is my personal favorite.

This was truly the sickest/most awesome year ever.

unprotoize December 30, 2008 at 3:41 pm

I can’t watch #6 again. Not now. Too soon.

Bruno December 30, 2008 at 3:42 pm

Did anyone get disqualified for not typing the Meth-induced subject line in their email?

sarcasticusername December 30, 2008 at 3:43 pm

the thing i find most shocking is the fact that the reagan question was actually a legitimate question at a presidential debate. though honestly, i probably shouldn’t be surprised by that at all.

shortsshortsshorts December 30, 2008 at 3:46 pm

[re=206927]Bruno[/re]: But talk radio is fun! Especially with a bottle of scotch.
True Story: I once broke someone’s radio when they were listening to Hannity. Luckily it was a relative.

unprotoize December 30, 2008 at 3:48 pm

Agh #1! I think I just went #2 on myself.

SayItWithWookies December 30, 2008 at 3:49 pm

How can the glass ceiling have been cracked when Nancy Pfotenhauer has said dumbass crap all year and didn’t make the top ten?

Chief Grinning Eagle December 30, 2008 at 3:50 pm

Chamberlain did five slam dunks in 35. Then he tried again and did seven in 36 seconds. He came out again and did eight in thrity seven; and he did 10 in row in 38. In 39 he made an even dozen and hung from the backboard for another second before taking his bows. That’s what Wilt Chamberlain did and he’s been doin’ it ever since. I didn’t know Wilt was a Neville Brother though. That’s funky!

What Wilt Chamberlain did wrong with eunichs is still a matter of great importance to me and he should never have had that meeting with Hinckley. What would Reagan say?

“Only one thing can get these hands clean, mister: Lava!”

Vote Ron Paul. 50 percent sales tax. Hooray!!! No new Texas!

Crazybroad December 30, 2008 at 3:51 pm

[re=206926]crikey_booya[/re]: This election was clearly fixed.

SayItWithWookies December 30, 2008 at 3:57 pm

Peggy “cursing like a mick” — sweet. It’s like watching Henry James eat barbecued ribs.

jagorev December 30, 2008 at 4:01 pm

Hooray, my pick for #1 agreed with the consensus! I’m part of the hive mind!

Please please please post Mittens oh-so-appropriately singing “Who Let The Dogs Out?”. In fact, post only Mittens, pretty much always, forever, again, please, thank you.

Fivetree December 30, 2008 at 4:39 pm

Some of these are REALLY hard to watch. What I wouldn’t mind, however, is seeing Sean Hannity beaten for 5 1/2 years. With Sarah Palin and Mittens tied to his scrotum.

Fivetree December 30, 2008 at 5:05 pm

You could, in fact, have a top ten that is ALL Sarah Palin. She was truly the gift that kept on giving all through the election. Someone mentioned Turkey Slaughtergate – there’s also 1. What newspapers do you read? 2. Sarah Palin: flautist 3. Stop heckling me, you traitors (dear, they were just trying to get you to speak louder) 4. Let’s hear it for the REAL America 5. What does a Vice President even do? 6. As Vice President I am going to “run the Senate” 7. Joe Biden is SO old. There in addition to the two you posted and Slaughtergate that makes ten. I am so sure there are other worthy contenders.

bitchincamaro December 30, 2008 at 5:09 pm

The highlight in the “Griff Jenkins” clip (#4) is the Geico caveman at 2:00. He looks pissed, as usual.

skroocap December 30, 2008 at 5:25 pm

WHAT DO YOU MEAN “BLANK SLATE”???

pepe December 30, 2008 at 5:30 pm

No Bachman??????????

pepe December 30, 2008 at 5:32 pm

Also, no turkey-slaughter? Bachmann and Turkey slaughter have to be on there.

mush December 30, 2008 at 6:24 pm

Thanks for the reminder that Sarah Palin is AN IDIOT.

Packherd December 30, 2008 at 7:32 pm

In that last one, Katie’s not grillin’ Sarah, she’s trying to help her: “Trade delegations, Sarah! Trade delegations! That is the only correct answer to this question. ‘PUTIN’ IS NOT THE RIGHT ANSWER!”

Alas, Sarah’s still a bit wet behind the ears. She’ll get the hang of it by 2012…

freeatlast December 30, 2008 at 7:38 pm

Sarah/Katy interviews never get old. Does anyone else see the similarity between that interview and Ben Stiller’s hilarious attempt at trying to bullshit Robert De Niro into believing that he milked a cat from Meet the Parents? Completely absurd, but they just can’t keep digging that hole. Good for us…

Mr Blifil December 30, 2008 at 9:21 pm

I told you assholes: “Nailin’ Palin.” What is the fucking point of surveying the user base if you’re just going to go ahead and do the things you like anyway?

I want my fucking money back…

TGY December 30, 2008 at 9:34 pm

Oh God, you’re right. That last is the most embarrassing clip ever.

S.Luggo December 30, 2008 at 11:10 pm

Eliminating my post to links to Bush YouTube dance fever, thanks, Jim.
I did my time in your rodeo.

sanantonerose December 31, 2008 at 4:22 am

Griff Jenkins, man. All the way.

assistant/atlas December 31, 2008 at 5:26 am

Holy Jeebus.

I just watched your number 1 Wonkette–Sarah Palin & Katie Couric.

After imagining them as a hot lesbian duo, I decided to watch the video. It is…indescribablable. Seriously, I think even if John McCain had talked to her more than a couple times before the pick, he would’ve been able to figure out that she’s almost functionally retarded.

Also, in videos…I DEMAND OBAMA GIRL SHAKING THOSE TITTIES FOR DEMOCRACY!

Also…maybe she can be in a further listicle about top web videos of 2008, at least, pretty please?

Also…I was without Wonkette for a week and I missed it…dreadfully.

Bruno December 31, 2008 at 8:53 am

[re=207359]assistant/atlas[/re]: It always amazed me that anyone could support SnowBilly after watching that – I thought all her supporters do is watch teevee?

Then again, a lot of things amaze me about america – it is exceptionally good at producing people who think people like SnowBilly are exceptional
