And how do we know, for sure, that this video is satirical in nature? Maybe that “Funny or Die” website just spent all weekend searching the YouTubes for the most insane example of current Birther pop art. Hell, it’s how we find the comedy! [Funny or Die]

You’re supposed to call him Barry Cetera. Not that funny if you don’t get the details right.
“Illagitamint” is far too close to the actual spelling to have sprung from your typical, World Net Daily-educated birther. That and the ‘Monsters of Rock’ typeface.
All they needed to add is “…and the Preznut is a Nigra too!” and it would have been a perfect 67-second summary of all that is wingnutty about birfers.
The real wingnuts are funnier. That bitch from You Tube in Deleware, that’s the best comedy ever. Suffer, bitch, suffer. Your cuntry belongs to the libs, mexicans and negros.
Poe’s Law applies.

Nice try though.
That was more DIE than FUNNY.

[re=376821]The Cold Sea[/re]: I am ALL FOUR OF THOSE!
Wait, i mean 3.
[re=376821]The Cold Sea[/re]: Yes. You can tell it’s a parody because it lacks that hysterical sincere loyalty to a completely insane idea.
The only real question is: what will last longer? The birther movement or our ability to make fun of them?
And don’t 4get, fellow Wonkers, tomorrow is Barry’s Birtherday!!
I think that’s Lou Dobbs with a wig on.
[re=376822]Don Juanquete[/re]: POE’S LAW ONLY APPLIES TO NATURAL BORN CITIZENS!!! OBAMA WAS BORN IN A TEST TUBE AND INCUBATED IN A KENYAN GOVERNMENT SUBSIDIZED DUNE BUGGY!!!
GRAAR!!!
[re=376837]facehead[/re]: Once football season starts up and it gets cold outside, the teabaggers will disappear back into their themed rec-rooms to drink watery diarrhetic beer, bitch about Terrell Owens (the other black guy who was probably actually from Kenya), and complain that global warming is a conspiracy because it snowed in December. Our mockery will continue long into 2010, however, because NEVER 4GET!!!!
Production values in PSA’s are always so terrible
TPM does report that WND (the most trusted name in nutz) has voiced concerns that Obama may be the Antichrist. This is the kind of analysis you don’t get just anywhere.
If it’s “Funny or Die,” and (at least in New Hampshire) “Live Free or Die,” then is living free funny? Or is everything just death?
That’s a parody? We need a time-out for these fucktards.
The birthers are all excited, because of some Kenyan birth certificate for Obama.
Huffpo has a humorously quick debunking of it:

Brilliant. Vomitus Thespianus.
OOO, even Karl Rove thinks it is a forgery, which means it isn’t.
More importantly, Rove uses TWITTER!!

A: No, one cannot parody wingnut teabag birthers because reality is far more hilarious than any parody. But thanks for playing Funny or Die.
I think I just witnessed the death of satire as we used to know it (the funny kind).
So has anyone done the “Hello, I am Mister ex finance minister of a small African country, and I introduce myself to tell you that I have been bequeathed a birth certificate that I need you to help me cash..”
Got to have been done already.
Certainly, everyone agrees with the spirit of the video, just maybe could have spent a few more minutes on the execution…
This wasn’t THAT funny, but it’s a step in the right direction. Keep confronting them with this stuff and they might actually stop talking.
There’s a thing I’ve observed about these birther type people, and that is that their social development seems to have halted in the sixth grade. They don’t understand a rational argument from you and they pock their replies with declaratives like:
“So just shut up!”
“Enough!”
“This is irrefutable.”
“Case closed. PERIOD.”
“Everyone agrees…”
…combine that with the tendency to resort to personal insults, and it’s clear how they do arguments: by bullying. Remember in middle school how winning clout in the group was not formed by concilliatory, respectful statements or making sense? No, it was made by having the louder, more declarative or funnier insults.
This kind of stuff actually delves into the middle school level and taunts the birthers in a non-intellectual way (they won’t understand most textual criticism on Wonkette.” They see that you are enjoying yourselves belittling them – remember when you discovered at that argument at the bus stop that saying “this is you!” [make pig face] was your saving grace in any argument? They have no CHOICE but to cede to your pack-leader-style superior middle school rhetorical tactics.
[re=376872]facehead[/re]: Rove FOLLOWS us on Twitter, he probably knows all our first names and ssn’s and stuff…
[re=376872]facehead[/re]: Sorry, Linkee
[re=376805]kth[/re]: Soetera. Not that funny if you don’t get the details right.
[re=376852]Noodle Salad[/re]: I’m all for mocking birthers, but you leave football out of this.
When Dick Cheney occasionally sleeps, and then dreams, this is the dream he has.
[re=376886]Godot[/re]: Yeah. And American Football, too. Even though the overlap with birfers in the US American south is probably near 100%.
I’m just glad Gary Burghoff is still getting work.
[re=376885]Prommie[/re]: Actually it’s Soetero or Soetoro if you want to nitpick. I just thought it would be funny if Obama’s “real” name were the same as the lead singer for Chicago (obviously unfunny if an explanation is required, frown).
That HUUUUSSEEEEEIIIN!!!! scream struck the proper tone and felt pretty authentic. Listen again.
[re=376848]facehead[/re]: Wasn’t that a Who song? “Mother was an incubator/Father was the contents/Of a test-tube in an icebox/In the Factory of Birth…”
WAIT THAT’S IT, JOHN ENTWISTLE PROPHESIED THE BURTH OF NOOOBAMAS!!!
Okay, maybe not so funny, but I still wish science would hurry up with being able to put moving images on fabric, because I’d like to wear that video on a t-shirt (or full-body armor) for my upcoming obligatory trip to the rural South.
The best thing ever for the birthers would be if Michelle were to give birth to Barack’s American baby in the Lincoln Bedroom! I’d pay for a commerative copy of that birth certificate. I bet the money made from souvenier copies would help pay for health care for all
Americans – even the crazy-ass, nutball birther freaks.
[re=376895]hobospacejunkie[/re]: I’m thinking 100% cross with NASCAR fans.
Is that John Hodgman?
In other news, the Editorial Board of the Albuquerque Journal went birther over the weekend. Now what am I supposed to do? Print out the entirety of USA Today at work? Download the NYT crossword puzzle?
his screaming tantrums were very, very good…that is the essence
So TMZ finally located the lovechild of Randy Newman and Charles Nelson Rielly. Good work!
I say out pat response to birthers whenever he hear them shouting should be to shout back
‘WHAT’S THE FREQUENCY, KENNETH? WHAT’S THE FREQUENCY, KENNETH?’
either that or carry tin foil hats at all times to put on our heads when they speak.
The voice is exactly what I hear when I read rants from birthers. The high pitched mewling on Barack HUSSEIN Obama is perfect.
But yeah, nothing is funnier than the actual birthers.
HOORAY for the interwebs!! My dream has come true!!! I wished for a somewhat believable Kenyan-style Birther Certificate on Wonkette just days ago, and like magic one has appeared:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/08/03/kenyan-birth-certificate_n_249850.html
Certified by Oily Taint, no less!!!
Again, HOORAY!!!
Loved the damask-tablecloth-around-the-neck look.
Double trucknuts steeped teabagging for these fuck-tards.
I think that is fucking hilarious, and I don’t care who knows it.
HUUUUUUUUUSSEEEEEEEEEEIIIN!!!1
