SECRET TEEVEE PERSONALITIES

Hey Maybe This Guy Can Save The Economy Too!

No real reason for this, but someone sent us a screen shot of this ad for some fellow called the Ass Man and we thought it was comical. Is there anyone in the world who would trust this man’s advice, or take a single word of his seriously? Pronouns, prepositions, it doesn’t matter, they are all lies. We have never seen this channel, the Fox Business one, but can only *imagine* what a Fox version of CNBC would be like. If anyone else sees ads of financial teevee anchors making hilarious claims about populism, please pass them along!

    I like the douche-y smirk. He looks like Bush, except dumber.

  2. That pencil necked geek is going to fight for me. I bet he doesn’t even have a shotgun under his bed a night. I’m no fighter, but he’d be down screaming within seconds. But, he is an ass man so maybe its his ploy to get taken down

  3. What’s up with those random numbers above his head. Let’s guess what they mean.

    $40.99? Cost of Assman’s shoes?

  4. chascates says at 6:14 pm, March 23rd, 2009

    So, no one else is keeping score on the bailouts? I’ve had enough people fighting for ME by the way.

  5. font9a says at 6:16 pm, March 23rd, 2009

    Check out the pentagram graphic replacement for an apostrophe in the headline. Maybe something he’s a satanist or pagan or something.

    Does his producer chase the cars of people who disagree with him? It could be a problem since it seems that nobody agrees about the economy and the streets are very busy, with Hopey still being so popular and all.

  7. ManchuCandidate says at 6:17 pm, March 23rd, 2009

    What’s his tally board titled?

    Shocker vs Taints?

    @ Joey Ratz: another picture with its own alt text.

    Sometimes it is easy to picture the guys who got the crap beaten out of them every day of grammar school. I’d imagine Mr. Ass Man, along with all the other ass-hats on Fox fit into that catagory (especially the blond guy in the morning).

  9. Bruno: What bothers me more is those larger numbers with three digits after the decimal point. We don’t take kindly to tenths of a cent round these parts.

  10. V572625694 says at 6:19 pm, March 23rd, 2009

    Everyone knows proctologists are the life of the party.

  11. Texan Bulldoggette says at 6:21 pm, March 23rd, 2009

    Hmmm…Ass Man on Fox. Should fit right in with all the ass holes, asses & dumb asses.

  12. Red Zeppelin says at 6:21 pm, March 23rd, 2009

    I thought Sen. Craig was the Assman?

  13. Advocatus_Diaboli says at 6:22 pm, March 23rd, 2009

    Fox + News + Business = FAIL

  14. you cannot be serious says at 6:25 pm, March 23rd, 2009

    C’mon people - it’s pronounced Aahzmahn. As in, “say Aah so I can put this in your mouth.”

  15. Why would anyone take financial advice from a proctologist?

  16. shortsshortsshorts says at 6:26 pm, March 23rd, 2009

    I don’t like his name. LETS SET HIM ON FIRE.

  17. ShamWow says at 6:27 pm, March 23rd, 2009

    Check out the douchey Faux Business Happy Hour. Assman and some inexplicable long-haired hippie are the hosts. The horror.

  18. BillyClubb says at 6:28 pm, March 23rd, 2009

    Fox, the network that just keeps on giving. Where would we get our laffs if it were not for this Ass Man and others like him?

  19. LittlePig says at 6:28 pm, March 23rd, 2009

    Hmmm…this business channel smells like ass.

  20. Hooray For Anything says at 6:28 pm, March 23rd, 2009

    Texan Bulldoggette: Along with Steve Doucey, Fox is finally making explicit what was once implicit. I’m sure the next big Fox hire will be Robert Retardo.

  21. ShamWow says at 6:29 pm, March 23rd, 2009

    Why is Fox stealing the graphics and fonts from Cash 4 Gold ads?

  22. d4g33z says at 6:32 pm, March 23rd, 2009

    Who’s ‘youi?’

  23. Colander says at 6:33 pm, March 23rd, 2009

    I thought this was a Master P album for a second.

  24. sevenrepeat says at 6:36 pm, March 23rd, 2009

    he needs to sASShay away.

  25. comradepaulson says at 6:36 pm, March 23rd, 2009

    Texan Bulldoggette: And asshats. And ass-wipes. And ass-monkeys. And ass-tards.

  26. sanantonerose says at 6:37 pm, March 23rd, 2009

    shortsshortsshorts: Haha. Yeah!

  27. One Yield Regular says at 6:38 pm, March 23rd, 2009

    Yeah, it’s amazing. No one else is even paying ATTENTION to the bailouts, let alone keeping score. I sure haven’t heard anything about them recently. Thank FOX for this guy. Alertness like this may never come again in our lifetimes.

  28. Did they just rebrand that Colmes guy?

  29. americanscandoanything says at 6:39 pm, March 23rd, 2009

    this is the clown responsible for those endless fairandbalanced “special reports” about the UN oil for food supposed scandal…..taking the seinfeldian concept of a “show about nothing” to new heights

  30. They couldn’t get Bill Titman?

  31. Advocatus_Diaboli says at 6:43 pm, March 23rd, 2009

    If their financial channel plays as loose and free with the facts as their nooze channel, all of our 401(k) plans are looking at 35% year over year growth; just like we were making progress in Iraq all those years.

  32. LittlePig says at 6:43 pm, March 23rd, 2009

    Crab1: Because these financial CEOs have their heads up their asses?

  33. Colander says at 6:46 pm, March 23rd, 2009

    bago: They were gonna go with Robbie Childpred, until one of the interns started laughing.

  34. Godot: You’re right, I had given Fox the benefit of the doubt (stupid mistake I know), that those were commas. Maybe though that’s not tenths of a cent but stinky eurotrash that uses dots where Jeebus intended commas to be

  35. Monsieur Grumpe says at 6:46 pm, March 23rd, 2009

    shortsshortsshorts:
    And then we can put him out with a fire axe. Some fun!

  36. LittlePig says at 6:49 pm, March 23rd, 2009

    “Assman, Titman and Childpred, Attys at Law: Hey, we’ve seen worse”

  37. TheGlow says at 7:00 pm, March 23rd, 2009

    Be warned, Obama. The Asman cometh.

  38. problemwithcaring says at 7:33 pm, March 23rd, 2009

    americanscandoanything: Remember Kramer’s license plates?

  39. LittlePig: Hey, they can partner with Dewey, Cheetum, and Howe on the class-action.

  40. Buttery1000 says at 8:25 pm, March 23rd, 2009

    When the Assman says he’s fighting for me, that’s when I start to worry.

  41. font9a says at 8:26 pm, March 23rd, 2009

    Ass Man and Butt Hair? Seriously, you can’t make this shit up.

  42. prophet1195 says at 9:03 pm, March 23rd, 2009

    First “Ass Man on the Moon”, 1969.

  43. OzoneTom says at 9:27 pm, March 23rd, 2009

    font9a: Making the Rethuglikken upside-down star more commonplace so that it will seem acceptable and harmless while their cloven hooves come down on us.

  44. WadISay says at 10:15 pm, March 23rd, 2009

    Is Assman his name or his title?

  45. HipHopOpotamus says at 10:31 pm, March 23rd, 2009

    Aslan?11?!!

    JEBUS HAZ COME 2 SEYVE UZ ALL!

  46. bookish_lesbian says at 11:50 pm, March 23rd, 2009

    assMan + Gingrich chuckle that they both AGREE WITH KRUGMAN tonight!

  47. jumpthesnark says at 2:44 am, March 24th, 2009

    I swear when I glanced at that graphic I thought the line on the bottom was “FISTING FOR YOU!”

  48. Canuckledragger says at 4:06 am, March 24th, 2009

    America’s Nightly Scoreboard?

    This guy’s the only Assman that’s never scored any.

  49. arewethereyet says at 6:50 am, March 24th, 2009

    Bailouts!! What bailouts? Am i missing something?

  50. Anita Cocktail says at 8:32 am, March 24th, 2009

    Ass Man? I thought Seinfeld was supposed to imitate life, not the other way around.

  51. Jenni B. says at 8:54 am, March 24th, 2009

    I caught a little bit of the first day of Fox Business, a year or so ago. I remember this from their morning show:

    Tom Sullivan: Have we compared you to the Coca-Cola sign out there? Is that Coca-Cola red?
    Cheryl Casone: It’s my Nancy Reagan red. Actually, I was told it’s my Nancy Reagan red.

    That was all I needed to hear.

  52. Mr Blifil says at 9:53 am, March 24th, 2009

    He’s fighting for ME! With TELEPROMPTRZ!!!11!

  53. The “you” is underlined in case you may be confused about who this “guy” was fighting for. The star in the place of an apostrophe makes him super U.S.A.!

  54. Motorist: Hey the Ass Man’s in town!!!
    Kramer You got that right buddy!!!!

  55. Outraged says at 11:26 am, March 24th, 2009

    Am I the only one who sees this natural connection: When are they going to team up David ASSman with Brenda BUTTner??? “ASSman & BUTTner”!!! It’s got HIT written all over it!!!

  56. liquiddaddy says at 11:43 am, March 24th, 2009

    I personally only invest with my broker, Rod Johnson. He keeps on top of things for me. He gives me tips I need.

  57. ThePerfesser says at 3:18 pm, March 24th, 2009

    Most FOX and Republican assmen are pitchers. The others, better known as cockmen or b-boys, are catchers.
