WTF?

It’s A Political Comedy Video With All Of Your Favorite People!

We have no idea who the people behind “Funny or Die” are… but apparently they are very well connected in Hollywood and Washington? This thing has its moments, such as Mike Gravel quietly reading the Pentagon Papers and Madame Peggington Noonanshire simply showing her Shining face. [via Fishbowl DC]

    I am not a fan of this facial hair trend.

    the prop 8 musical is better. this is kinda cringe-worthy. So self-conscious.

  7. twowheeljunkie says at 3:50 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    Was that Obama girl?

  8. slithytoves says at 3:53 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    I’m way too lazy to watch this. What’s it say?

    WIN for Common and zoom shot of Dean on the one-brass hit.

  10. CuntryFirst says at 3:55 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    Deepthroat: Exactly. It’s certainly more “die” than “funny.”

  11. Mmmmm…Sarah Silverman.

    I don’t recognize any of those people when they are out of their element - i.e. my television. Except Joe. I would know that Easter Island-sized head anywhere.

    There are videos of kids stacking dice — that is piling dice on top of one another — that can be found on YouTube and are more interesting than this video.

    I also recommend my college film-making project: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aSExBIHszCE

    Must be a slow day at Wonkette headquarters.

    This really needs a pop-up video version, because cable TV’s constant explanations of who people are and why they are important superimposed over their faces has withered my brain to the point where I can no longer identify basic people based solely on their appearance

    Also, “the people behind FunnyorDie” would most prominently be a Mister Will Fucking Ferrell, but it’s really just a video-posting site that’s a breeding ground for all kinds of comedy groups, these are just a couple of independent guys I’d never heard of with insane amounts of access

    I always forget that Washington celebrities are so boring and ugly compared to the Hollywood ones.

    Also, I cannot fathom how someone can get that close to Tucker Carlson and not donkeypunch him.

    Hmm, think it might have been better if they’d bitch-slapped Peggy, but….

  17. Heywood Floyd says at 4:00 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    And Ron Paul get shut out again. Despicable.

  18. cracksammich says at 4:03 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    Will Ferrell’s production company, Gary Sanchez Productions, runs the site.

  19. TaxWallStreet says at 4:05 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    assistant/atlas–

    Who says they didn’t?

  21. loudmouthredhead says at 4:06 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    Who did they have to blow to get to Howard Dean? What was Wes Clark burning? Why, for the love of all that’s holy, was Jack Black nekkid?!
    At first I was yawning at a 70s-themed montage, but bravo fellas. I’m kinda jealous.

  22. Origami: I have thought exactly the same about the Pegstress’es appearances in the last few days. Does she have a little Hope in her, or is she getting laid?

  23. bitchincamaro says at 4:10 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    “Funny Or Die” in regards to Larry King? The choice is obvious.

  24. El Pinche says at 4:14 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    Where’s Dan Quayle and/or Perry Ferrell? What kind of bullshit is this?

  25. sailingthestyx says at 4:27 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    twowheeljunkie: heidi fleiss…l. a. madame…kicked tom sizemore’s ass

  26. The Neoskeptic says at 4:36 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    tl;dw

  27. Deepthroat says at 4:52 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    as far as shamless cameos go, i much prefer the Bree Sharp classic, “David Duchovny, why won’t you love me.” But maybe that’s just because i’m a huge X-Files dork?

    twowheeljunkie: you know, a few months ago i realized i worked for a creep who hired obama girl to do some modeling, like back in 2003. ugh.

  29. american mutt says at 5:06 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    Soledad O’Brien = hottie boom boddie

  30. loudmouthredhead says at 5:08 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    Is it weird that I recognized more of the politicians than the tv/music celebrities? Am I officially a political nerd now?

  31. I vote die
    because Newt!is the erectile dysfunction of intergoogle humor..a bad case of cancer seems a lot more funny

  32. OReillysVibrator says at 6:21 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    Ehh, no comedy behind it, just the viral equivalent of name-dropping in the guise of high-fives.

  33. I am surprised Wonkettes don’t know Funny or Die - check out Pearl the Landlord video on that site.
    I bow to the Wonkette.

  34. As for shameless name and face dropping, I only recognized about a quarter of those people. I am so plugged in!

  35. Well, *I* thought it was funny. Hm.

  36. it was very funny.
