Teabagger Final Fantasy? The “Once More, With Feeling” episode of John Adams nobody noticed at the time, due to not watching it? We have no idea, but if Naked Scott Brown is not tarred and feathered and videotaped being dropped into the snow by noon today, REVOLUTION, babies. [YouTube via Metafilter via Satan]
Whatever This Is, America Must Be Bombed For It

2:26! Nevah forget!
I did NOT see that one coming!
Frightening concept, but good production values. Good use of things that rotate clockwise. But you should never, EVER, play a violin on top of a mountain. It makes the bears angry.
That scene with (Jefferson) stroking the feather would have gotten me really hot if the character was really Liz Phair. Mmmmm…Liz Phair and feathers.
Hole-Lee-Shit!
Why does zombie Ben Franklin have a penis jumping out of his beer?
So this means that we can all wish that the anti-HCR Teabaggers contract a bunch of 1776-y type ailments like poxy, grippe, croup, smallpox, consumption, catarrh, and scarlet fever? Cause, you know, it’s about the freedom.
Ichh..that English dude at the beginning, licking his lips and eating grapes just screams “Glenn Beck”.
Panic in the Lee Greenwood household ensues.
[re=513388]Flanders[/re]: Yes, the video needs more Demon Sheep.
Also this…why is King George always portrayed as a gay fop when most of those fuckers wore long hair or wigs?
The Ghost of Cyprus Attucks might take issue with this as he was the first guy to eat a bullet for the “cause” since he wasn’t old and fat and or especially white (red/black, if I recall.)
If the baggers figure out which party represents the rich aristocrats crapping on them its all over.
I have a theory. It could be retards.
Once again, I feel happy about being unable to access Youtube at work.
I always knew Ben Franklin could shred!
TGCF *
It was bad enough before the violin solo, – I had to stop.
* too gay, couldn’t finish
Tenacious D sure looks great in a powdered wig. Also, was that a glass of tobacco?
[re=513388]Flanders[/re]: [re=513398]memzilla[/re]: Agreed, but 0:46 is pretty darned frightening, though.
[re=513402]ManchuCandidate[/re]: Chrispus, sirrah! You are revealed as a Royalist enemy of Liberty!
Oh yes, they have active fantasy lives, these baggers.
This maybe one of these moments where it is soooo good that you don’t know where to go from here.
Thanks , now I sit in a puddle of my own Liberty. Now excuse me ,I need to wash up.
I always liked Ben Franklin, until he did those two albums with Damn Yankees. I mean, seriously, there had to have been something in an almanack somewhere that would’ve told him no band with the singers from Styx and Night Ranger could rock.
Fucking LARPers.
[re=513413]Advocatus_Diaboli[/re]: I only made it about 20 seconds. When the guy opened his (creepy) mouth and started singing, I had to stop.
[re=513408]prizepig[/re]: They’ve got – the cumstains – out!
I will cede to the makers of the video the bad teeth on King George, but I think he would have been manicured within an inch of his life…
Biggest shocker…..not a single woman in the video.
[re=513416]Prommie[/re]: Not to be all retarded about spelling, but it is Crispus.
Actually, Ben Franklin was a wanker on the guitar. Everybody knows Jefferson was the brains behind the outfit, but then he got hooked up with Sally Hemmings and the band just fell apart.
It’s too late to plottle sply?
personally, i applaud the fetishization of our founding fathers. of course, i’ve “spilled my seed” on the south lawn of monticello, so, it’s kinda my thing.
sexy dead patriots aside, could the teabaggers be any more misguided about these revolution allegories, or what? also, too.
[re=513434]FMA[/re]: Frankling got all the ass, though. Fucking guitarists.
[re=513434]FMA[/re]: oh no you did NOT just yoko ono sally hemmings.
These stupid fucks make me lose my snark. Didn’t you have to be a property owner/have wealth to vote? From what I’ve seen of today’s baggers, they would be left out of the process.
Who’s apologizing for what? Too late for Obama to apologize for being of mixed race and therefore all black? Let’s affirm the obvious one more time: if John Kerry, Al Gore or even Hillary is president there is no Tea Party.
What the fuck are unalienable rights?
I liked Walt Disney’s “Ben and Me” better.
I don’t understand. Is this some kind of souped-up history class final project or some teabagger thing or what?
I watched this without sound so I have no idea what that was about, except it reminded me of how I felt watching Paranormal Activity.
Is the fellow with the flintlock wearing a “jerkin”? Could the minuteman jerkin become the trucknutz of teaparty culture?
Isn’t it disrespectful to diss the Founding Fathers? How do they justify making Samuel Adams look like a drunkard and Ben Franklin look insane?
Wave your hands in the air like you just don’t care?
[re=513441]pondscum[/re]: Also the Tancredo literacy test would weed out most of them.
[re=513397]Buzz Feedback[/re]: Hahahahah, gold star for you, sir.
I’d rather watch 1776 the musical than 1776 the concert movie.
Violin solo!!!
And yes, this sucks ass compared to Schoolhouse Rock.
[re=513441]pondscum[/re]: Hey, doublewides are property, kind of.
I do have to give them credit – at least they didn’t fax this one backwards.
[re=513447]Ruhe[/re]: ‘Minuteman jerkin’ is still illegal in most of the colonies, especially the southern ones.
And let me just say, if your wife tells everybody you’re a “minuteman”, it’s not a good thing.
The Floundering Fathers make me nostalgic for Paul Revere and the Raiders, almost; I can take either for about 20 seconds. At least the Raiders didn’t seem to take themselves seriously. Would have been better directed by Dweezil Zappa or Mr. Jiggs.
[re=513455]Ken Layne[/re]: Thx boss.
Williamsburg Syndrome?
So all that stuff with the kite and the key was just so Ol’ Ben could invent the Telecaster? Who knew?
Other than that historical insight, the whole project is kinda like Elisabeth Hasselbeck: some relatively attractive visuals, but I never want to hear any of it again.
All this time I thought David St. Hubbins was British.
[re=513453]Ducksworthy[/re]: That idea is looking more interesting… problem is the answers would have to correspond to the Texas Board of Education’s textbooks…
Wow, it looks like this was produced by a publishing house trying to interest people in poli sci/government textbooks. So, in their attempt to stimulate young minds, they inadvertently diddled the collective prostates of the teabaggers.

I’m speechless.
Where’s High-Caliber at?
In revolutionary times, mules were considered “property” just as real estate and slaves were, and only property owners could vote. So if a man owned a mule, he could vote. If he lost the mule, he lost his right to vote. So, Franklin wondered, does the right to vote reside in the mule or the man?
Then he banged his maid a few times and went to bed.
Question for the Tancredo literacy test: Which famous president said “Its just a goddamn piece of paper.”?
Who knew that in addition to his many other well-known achievements, Franklin also pioneered the two-hand tapping technique-200 years before Eddie Van Halen!
[re=513446]slithytoves[/re]: Bored out of your mind?
This is pro-teabaggers? I saw it a couple days ago and laughed my ass off. I thought this was just for history nerds to whack off to. *fap fap fap*
Clue #1 that you’re talking with a Tea Partier: They quote extensively from the Declaration of Independence, not realizing the document does not have the force of law in the US. Clue #2: When informed of that breach of intelligence, their stammered reply is “Well, it should be.”
It’s a spoof of Timbaland’s Video Apologize. Didn’t seem particularly Tea-Bagger oriented except that they love to jerk off to American revolution porn.

[re=513449]mamandesfilles[/re]: Well, a true patriot can tell it’s Samuel Adams because he looks just like he does in the beer commercials.
[re=513405]Ducksworthy[/re]: These folks don’t “find out”; they BELIEVE – a lot less bother.
[re=513494]noodleman[/re]: Well, these people also think that the Bible has the force of law in the United States; in both history and science they are very skilled at ignoring reality and just seeing whatever they want to see.
Wow. Paul Revere and the Raiders are really starting to suck, now that the Bicentennial is over.
[re=513408]prizepig[/re]: [re=513427]JMP[/re]: It’s still funny, sweetie.
“I am Ben Franklin, master of SEX and VOODOO!”
[re=513478]Gopherit[/re]: Ahaaha. I can’t wait for Tea Partiers to find an episode of Sesame Street that’s sponsored by the letter T and think it’s about them.
Where is Grace Slick?
That was 1776 kinds of awesome!
It’s too early in the morning to watch patriot porn, or whatever the fuck this is. So it must have been even worse to be posting it at 6:30 A.M.
[re=513399]Dashboard_Buddha[/re]: Don’t knock it. Gays get very few badass roles in movies these days. During 300, I was cheering Xerxes and the Persians.
[re=513496]Balls![/re]: Well that clears things up, apart from child molester Ben Franklin of course
Maybe we should tell them the French won the war of Independence for us.
I saw this video a few years ago, but about 2 minutes into it the guys start having sex with each other. I took it back to the video store and they exchanged it for a Thai shemale video for me. Much less kinky.
[re=513408]prizepig[/re]:
I have a theory. It could be retards.
Your theory has a lot to be said for it. Retards in lace and leather.
[re=513456]hoosiermama[/re]: Ooh!! I’ve been holding on to this link since November. Enjoy!
Cool Cool Considerate Men
Needs moar cowbell.
[re=513391]Dashboard_Buddha[/re]: Honest question: which thread / post did I miss the boat on for the Liz Phair meme? Because I want in (oh, and I mean *in*)
It’s like the spirit of Randall Thompson’s “The Testament of Freedom” with none of the talent and a lot more gayness! Which, given the number of times I’ve seen men’s choruses do “Testament”, is really saying something.
[re=513633]Mad Brahms[/re]: Look at the top of the screen – the thumbnail of her wearing nothing but a flag is still there as of right now.
Goddamnit. I made the mistake this morning of watching this video all the way through to its painful end.
Now I’ve got this fecking song stuck in my head.
“stew late to spola lyes… doo doo doo doo” Argh!
[re=513627]CaiteeCruelle[/re]: I don’t know what is more hideous, your link or the original video.
[re=513627]CaiteeCruelle[/re]: though I think “Too Late to Apologize: A Declaration” has to be worse, as it takes it self far more seriously
[re=513655]JMP[/re]: Aha! I just cried the tears of an eagle for the sheer beauty of this great land.
[re=513731]eyegoneblack[/re]: You know, I bet these are “English-only” motherfuckers, too, which is sort of ironic considering they can barely produce the necessary sounds.
Good to see what Creed is up to these days. Of course, they are utterly blocked from my Pandora stream, for ever.
Blecchh! Blecchh, blecchh, and ugh.
[re=513413]Advocatus_Diaboli[/re]: Its a FIDDLE, you elitist!
This seems to have been scripted by a homeschoolee (or is it homescholee?)who wasn’t paying attention when mom taught him the American Creation Myth, we all learned in grade school.
Is that John Adam’s manboobs at 2:43?
Teabaggers sure love themselves some creepy man mouths.
And what kind of person gets in and un confused with respect to alienability?
“Buh”
“Uhl”
“Bull”
“Shuh”
“It”
“Shit”
[re=513973]momus[/re]: It’s homescholer, remember?
http://wonkette.com/413608/whatever-you-are-thinking-right-now-it-counts-as-making-fun-of-trig
[re=514026]JMP[/re]: I think the parent that subjects their children to homeschooling, is the homescho(o)ler, the victims of this fraud are the home scho(o)l(l)ees.
But Gopherit nailed it. The teabaggers think this is about them because everyone is running around in britches and powdered wigs, but its an example of progressive, transformational education from the “Poli Silo” (Soomo’s term, not mine). Teabaggers are retards, they think everything is about them.
