I just spit burrito all over my desk.

Don Juanquete August 4, 2009 at 4:47 pm

They’re not worthy.

ManchuCandidate August 4, 2009 at 4:48 pm

Dana Millbank, the MSM’s equivalent of the Jedi Kid.

JadedDIssonance August 4, 2009 at 4:49 pm

Reminds me of an Awl/Wonkett vid…SEE WHAT YOU STARTED LAYNE???

orange August 4, 2009 at 4:52 pm

Well done. I like the poop throwing.

smartypants August 4, 2009 at 4:53 pm

The decline of western civilization continues. Now that’s funny!

wheelie August 4, 2009 at 4:54 pm

Videos trying to be funny about unfunny videos trying to be funny are usually unfunny, but this one was not.

Tra August 4, 2009 at 4:55 pm

BWAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA!

It’s hilarious. But will it … will it make the nightmares stop? Every time I close my eyes, I see Dana Milibank trying to be funny.

Larry Fine August 4, 2009 at 4:57 pm

Its the Chris Kattan and Andy Richter Show.

Noonan August 4, 2009 at 4:57 pm

I chortled.

V572625694 August 4, 2009 at 5:03 pm

Come on, [re=378240]smartypants[/re], WaPo is not the same thing as western civilization. You’ve got it mixed up with Fox News, and they’re doing just fine!

donner_froh August 4, 2009 at 5:04 pm

[re=378247]Noonan[/re]: with glee?

Absolute win re: Hillary/bitch.

hockeymom August 4, 2009 at 5:09 pm

Wait, Dana Milbank has trench mouth?

DoctorCulturae August 4, 2009 at 5:10 pm

Sweet and trenchant.

smartypants August 4, 2009 at 5:12 pm

[re=378255]V572625694[/re]: Jeebus will take The Chosen Network and leave us behind with nothing but the interweb funnies. Okay, I’m trying to think of a downside.

Sick Puppy August 4, 2009 at 5:15 pm

Meh.

doxastic August 4, 2009 at 5:15 pm

I would like so much for “Post’d” to memeify itself.

JadedDIssonance August 4, 2009 at 5:20 pm

[re=378256]donner_froh[/re]: with a highball.

Monsieur Grumpe August 4, 2009 at 5:31 pm

It made me thirsty for a beer. Then again, most things do.

ZombieRichardFeynman August 4, 2009 at 5:34 pm

OK, I guess I’m officially old. I couldn’t make it through that, um, political commentary? comedy?, drunken frat boy proof of what alcohol does, whatever that was. Jim, please feel free not to go there anymore.

queeraselvis v 2.0 August 4, 2009 at 5:38 pm

Trenchant. Indeed.

Try to keep up!

Alex Trebeks Girl August 4, 2009 at 5:42 pm

Dana Milbank is going to poop himself angry and then utter angry words on a CNN panel.

whiskey tango foxtrot August 4, 2009 at 5:49 pm

[re=378295]Alex Trebeks Girl[/re]: I so look forward to that.

thefrontpage August 4, 2009 at 5:49 pm

But what type of whiskey would Sarah Palin be?

Wild Turkey?

Carrie_Okie August 4, 2009 at 5:55 pm

I’m on my third beer and that still was not funny. I mean I gave the Post $40,000 for a Salon, so they pretty much come by my office and lick wherever I point. And yet…dissatisfied, I am.

SmutBoffin August 4, 2009 at 5:59 pm

I am going to report these two to the Supreme Metal Council for their flagrant violations re:the use of ‘metal hands’.

SmutBoffin August 4, 2009 at 6:02 pm

[re=378306]SmutBoffin[/re]: HaHa. That’s in reference to this, of course, so that I don’t sound schizophrenic ‘n’ stuff.

wheelie August 4, 2009 at 6:02 pm

[re=378263]saggyboobedhag[/re]: I agree. The Hillary/bitch bit was one of the funniest things I’ve seen all week. Ok, it’s only Tuesday, but still. I hope they keep it up.

President Beeblebrox August 4, 2009 at 6:03 pm

Question: do either of these guys have a corresponding big thick hospital Birthing file?

If not, then they are MASSIVE FRAUDS and should be LOCKED UP AS TRAITORS.

american mutt August 4, 2009 at 6:08 pm

wait, that’s not the real noonan is it?

V572625694 August 4, 2009 at 6:11 pm

Where’s the birth certificate, Jim? You promised!

Posts about videos about videos trying to be funny about unfunny videos trying to be funny which are usually unfunny, and are usually unfunny, are usually unfunny, but I liked yours.

Rev. Peter Lemonjello August 4, 2009 at 6:30 pm

So THAT’S what happens when they give HuffPo commenters a vlog.

orange August 4, 2009 at 6:39 pm

[re=378320]V572625694[/re]: Iz waiting too.

Humpback August 4, 2009 at 6:40 pm

Which one was Millbank?

StoneAge August 4, 2009 at 6:48 pm

Hope you’re happy. The original vid “has been removed by the user.”

Heywood Floyd August 4, 2009 at 7:23 pm

Ha! It’s funny cuz it’s so Monday-thru-Friday awful.

Actually it’s just motherfucking awful.

coastingdownhill August 4, 2009 at 7:24 pm

[re=378285]ZombieRichardFeynman[/re]: Hey, I’m not only officially old, I am old! And Mikey liked it.
The PSA is a funny and talented group. And any parody of those yahoos on WaPo’s Bonehead Theatre is definitely worth a few kroners.

Alex Trebeks Girl August 4, 2009 at 7:51 pm

The night of the election, MSNBC or was it CNN had Dana Milbank on live blogging the election results AND doing what? DRINKING BEER. He probably feels like this beer drinking was all his idea. Damn it the old media is getting so exploited. Dana Milbank pore pore you :(

DustBowlBlues August 4, 2009 at 8:59 pm

I think Andy Cobb is a very funny man. And in that video, he (from the neck of) kind of reminds of Timothy Hutton on Leverage, which make Andy C for a few minutes hot.

I pronounce it a win. It’s such broad parody, whoever, it could be form an old Saunders/French skit. You, the women who became Ab Fab and the Vicar of Dilbey, respectively.

hobospacejunkie August 4, 2009 at 11:59 pm

[re=378301]Carrie_Okie[/re]: so they pretty much come by my office and lick wherever I point

Thank you for that wonderful and amusing imagery.

gurukalehuru August 5, 2009 at 12:08 am

Poe’s Law. Somebody, somewhere, heard that Hillary Clinton line and said “Y’know. It’s funny cuz it’s true.”

showmeonthedoll August 5, 2009 at 1:48 am

“That was so insightful and trenchant I think beer shot out my nose.”

The Clinton bit was sidesplitting. I’m not sure why. Perhaps that it takes real comedic talent to make something so hilarious out of something that was originally so totally devoid of humor. Although I think it was because of the poo throwing.

From Wa-Po. No, we’re not terribly ashamed of what we’ve become, why?

Lionel Hutz Esq. August 5, 2009 at 4:18 am

Spoof of Dana Milbank, or every NRO The Corner editorial meeting ever?

ElRat August 5, 2009 at 7:46 am

Hilarious! It made me snort and snot.
