Richmond Tea Party Produces ‘fun Parody with a political spin’

by Jim Newell  

Do you want to watch this video? “Charlie the Zebracorn finds himself stuck floating on a ship with two donkeycorns (the President and Congress). He soon finds out things are not going well on ‘Good Ship America’ under the direction of the ship captains. Enjoy this fun Parody with a political spin sponsored by the Richmond Tea Party and produced by KlineFilms. Script by Chuck Hansen and Dan and Aaron Kline.” Isn’t “donkeycorn” just what Chuck Grassley names his biggest dumps? [Not Larry Sabato]

Stop it.

Tommmcatt March 26, 2010 at 2:59 pm

Ooh, I only made it to 0:007 on that one. That has got to be some kind of early quit record.

geminisunmars March 26, 2010 at 2:59 pm

Too subtle

ManchuCandidate March 26, 2010 at 2:59 pm

All that horn fighting seems Top Gun-esque homoerotic to me. Looks like the writers got some serious need for schlong on the mind.

Cocaine is a hell of a drug.

davitydave March 26, 2010 at 3:00 pm

Apparently, I’m too stupid to understand the subtlety of this video.

joezoo March 26, 2010 at 3:00 pm

This is the greatest thing ever made, for ever and ever, amen.

forgracie March 26, 2010 at 3:01 pm

We re-drew our districts… Texas anyone? And why the hell was Charlie (‘Murikin Patriot?) asleep?

ForTheTurnstiles March 26, 2010 at 3:03 pm

both teams played hard! goodnight and god bless!

Extemporanus March 26, 2010 at 3:03 pm

And here be the original “Charlie the Unicorn” episode that doth spawned yon wee masterpiece.

queeraselvis v 2.0 March 26, 2010 at 3:03 pm

Meh. Weak plot, cardboard characterization, bad editing, and lousy cinematography. Two thumbs way down.

gurukalehuru March 26, 2010 at 3:04 pm

Right wingers should not do drugs. Right wingers should not attempt humor. Right wingers should most definitely not do drugs and attempt humor.

Buzz Feedback March 26, 2010 at 3:04 pm

Donkey or not, shouldn’t the President have been the African zebra? They’re losing their edge.

Botswana Meat Commission FC March 26, 2010 at 3:05 pm

The parody film by KlanFilms does not feature a Zebracorn. That would be race mixing.

Katydid March 26, 2010 at 3:05 pm

Quit at :12; it’s too retarded and annoying to watch. And I once made it through an entire Laura Ingraham clip.

ElitistMarxist March 26, 2010 at 3:05 pm

This is a completely accurate representation of what teabaggers apparently hear when Obama, Pelosi, and any news outlet that’s not Fox. Guess what sheeple, not only is the ACA actually a violent, aggressive unthinking beast, but the dems have stolen your beloved rapture from you!!! Even the brown donkey-unicorn! Bwahahahha!!!!

emberglance March 26, 2010 at 3:05 pm

Actually, this raft lost in a nameless ocean is quite an apt metaphor for the absurdity of the human condition. And isn’t life really just a YouTube video that none of us watches past 0:09?

Extemporanus March 26, 2010 at 3:06 pm

[re=541775]geminisunmars[/re]: I thought the fact that they chose not to make President Obama the “Zebracorn” showed amazing restraint.

GOPCrusher March 26, 2010 at 3:06 pm

Brought to you by the Kinder and Gentler TeaBagger Party. Just say no to domestic terrorism!

Shaggypixel March 26, 2010 at 3:06 pm

A zebra? Does that mean that the tea-party is finally entering the postracial age? HIP HIP HURRAY!

Smoke Filled Roommate March 26, 2010 at 3:06 pm

I can’t stop cringing.

Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire March 26, 2010 at 3:07 pm

Glad to see Uwe Boll found work.

mumblyjoe March 26, 2010 at 3:07 pm

I feel dumber for having even found out that this exists.

Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire March 26, 2010 at 3:08 pm

Teabaggers are funny. Cartoons are funny. Talking animals are funny. Yet no Teabagger talking animal cartoons are funny.

SayItWithWookies March 26, 2010 at 3:08 pm

I need to get into animation — if people who can’t add, subtract or interpret the news can do it, then it’s too damn easy to keep ignoring.

Native of SL UT March 26, 2010 at 3:08 pm

The voice acting was awesome, except that because the President and Congress sounded just like Mr Bill, I thought they were going to get smashed flat at the end. Instead they flew away with no worries cause they had their pensions, which I presume must have been in Euro or Yen or something since the rest of the country sank and was eaten by sharks. Sorry if I ruined the ending for some of you.

GOPCrusher March 26, 2010 at 3:09 pm

“Glad to see Uwe Boll found work.”

I couldn’t make it past the 25 second mark. Did I miss the gratuitous violence and bloodshed?

Extemporanus March 26, 2010 at 3:09 pm

[re=541794]Buzz Feedback[/re]: [re=541801]Extemporanus[/re]: As am I, apparently.

1healthymofo March 26, 2010 at 3:10 pm

Kinda wish I was a zebra/unicorn right now, this makes me embarrased for mankind.

JMP March 26, 2010 at 3:10 pm

“Do you want to watch this video?” No; and you can’t make me. What is this supposed to be a parody of, anyway?

Shaggypixel March 26, 2010 at 3:10 pm

The periodic table is crying for the misappropriation of helium.

Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire March 26, 2010 at 3:10 pm

[re=541811]GOPCrusher[/re]: If you couldn’t make it past the 25 second mark, then you know it’s a Uwe Boll joint.

Cogito Ergo Bibo March 26, 2010 at 3:10 pm

My cat will never forgive me for clicking on that. For that matter, I may never forgive myself. Most. Annoying. Noise. EVER.

HipHopOpotamus March 26, 2010 at 3:11 pm

Generally, log rafts don’t sink from holes…

FMA March 26, 2010 at 3:13 pm

I knew I shouldn’t have had those hash brownies for lunch.

gurukalehuru March 26, 2010 at 3:15 pm

Joe the Plumber is played out. Now they’ve got Charlie the Zebra.

Aflac Shrugged March 26, 2010 at 3:15 pm

Charlie, it was so much nicer when you were almost completely white. Yes, Charlie, it was! But now, you have all those stripes criss-crossing your body! Yes, Charlie, and they’re taking follicles away from hardworking white hairs! Isn’t that unfair to all those hardworking white hairs, Charlie? Now set yourself on fire, Charlie!

Hold on, my buzz is wearing off. Gimme a minute to load the pipe again.

weejee March 26, 2010 at 3:15 pm

Zebra = ref = “REF GET OFF YOUR KNEES REF YOU’RE BLOWING THE GAME!!!”

Liquid March 26, 2010 at 3:17 pm

[re=541774]Tommmcatt[/re]: Let me guess, the second chorus of ‘Charleeee’? I had to stop after the first to giggle like mad, but for some reason then turned it back on… Go figure!

Also, who knew that making photo and video-making software easy enough an idiot could use it meant that *that’s exactly who might start using it?!?*

user-of-owls March 26, 2010 at 3:18 pm

Where’s the ox? Where’s the rat? Where’s the demon sheep?

Ensemble cast, sheeple, en-fucking-semble cast!1

Smoke Filled Roommate March 26, 2010 at 3:18 pm

[re=541801]Extemporanus[/re]: The initial concept included an ‘Al Jolsoncorn’ (Mammycorn) but they scrapped the idea–too antiquated a reference.

Noonan March 26, 2010 at 3:19 pm

Does anyone know where the King Roy the Rat went? It’s been scrubbed from Youtube and I can’t find a good copy?

As in, this made me think of it.

sezme March 26, 2010 at 3:32 pm

Trenchant!

Extemporanus March 26, 2010 at 3:33 pm

[re=541837]Smoke Filled Roommate[/re]: Antiquated though it may be, the beloved minstrel tune “Jimmy Crack Corn” would’ve worked on multiple levels.

EdFlinstone March 26, 2010 at 3:35 pm

Teabaggers, your just making it too easy for us anymore. One factual correction, the states make congressional districts not the prez or congress, but dont let facts get in the way of your fairy tale.

maven March 26, 2010 at 3:36 pm

My favorite part is when the “health control” shark bites the zebra’s leg off.
Meth is a terrible thing.

fromhils March 26, 2010 at 3:41 pm

Is it just me or did they make congress and the president sound like Michael Jackson?

Dashboard_Buddha March 26, 2010 at 3:42 pm

I hate to admit that I found that funny but horribly it’s horribly wrong. I mean, republicans don’t suck off lobbyists?

proudgrampa March 26, 2010 at 3:43 pm

AAARGHHH! Shiver me timbers!

Jesus H. Christ. Was that for real?

Aurelio March 26, 2010 at 3:44 pm

Why do donkeys and zebras talk in high pitched voices? Mr. Ed, of the same genus, had a voice like Tom Brokaw.

Accordion-o-rama March 26, 2010 at 3:49 pm

Boy, James Cameron’s work had really lost its pizzazz since he lost out at the Oscars.

slappypaddy March 26, 2010 at 3:53 pm

29 seconds and that’s all i could hang. do i get a medal? and what is it with wingnuts and the whole phallic symbol thing? have they no analytic mirrors? i could sell them some at a good price; never mind their heads exploding when they look in them, that’s the point. so it’ll have to be cash up front.

and that’s a joke, in case the internet sales police think i’m trying to scam some bucks. i ain’t no investment banker. don’t send me nothin’ but thoughts of love and squalor, thank you.

Mr Blifil March 26, 2010 at 4:03 pm

Wait, they needed an animal to represent Obama and assigned the half-white, half-black Halfrican Zebra to something else?

mercure March 26, 2010 at 4:03 pm

…not if you paid me all the Ameros in the world.

Sharkey March 26, 2010 at 4:05 pm

I… I am a seagull now?

Dumptruck March 26, 2010 at 4:13 pm

You know, I think the Zebracorn and the Donkeycorns are metaphors for something, but what could it be? Oh, I know! Brown people and immigrants, right?

Lazy Media March 26, 2010 at 4:14 pm

Jeez, if they’re gonna parody an Internet Unicorn video, they oughta use the good one.

lexington March 26, 2010 at 4:14 pm

So, the Public loses its kidneys then, huh?

I’m not going to even try to watch this.

Lets Go Vertigo March 26, 2010 at 4:20 pm

Oh, it was weak. I was never interested…although the part of the doctor was played with gusto and verve, and the girl had a delightful cameo role. A puckish satire of contemporary mores. A droll spoof aimed more at the heart than the head.

Extemporanus March 26, 2010 at 4:25 pm

[re=541977]Lazy Media[/re]: Planet Unicorn, HEYYY!

simonlcupcake March 26, 2010 at 4:58 pm

I made it to :37. And that is 37 seconds of my life that I will never get back.

predilectrix March 26, 2010 at 5:02 pm

1:47, wimps. Who can beat me? Henghhh? (Make that a falsetto “Henghhh?”)

Dashboard_Buddha March 26, 2010 at 5:24 pm

[re=542075]predilectrix[/re]: pft…slacker. I watched the whole thing.

OzoneTom March 26, 2010 at 5:33 pm

Those Demoncrap unicorns look like the one in Louis Malle’s “Black Moon”.

Pandy March 26, 2010 at 5:47 pm

Oh, the pretty ponies…fly away, fly away.

King of the Dipshits March 26, 2010 at 6:17 pm

[re=541801]Extemporanus[/re]: Yeah, I guess but they still made him the brown donkey.

yrustoopid? March 26, 2010 at 7:38 pm

Zebracorn (to President and Congress): Wait, don’t leave me!!

So…the Teabaggers want Obama, Pelosi, Reid, et all to stay in office? Am I interpreting this correctly?

MidlothianMILF March 26, 2010 at 9:30 pm

KlineFilms makes me think of the swiftboat ads. Is there a connection?

And yes – if Obama, Pelosi, Reid, et al stay in office then the Teabaggers can keep doing this instead of going to work at government offices or going to their free Medicare visits.

bolton' March 26, 2010 at 11:15 pm

I couldn’t watch it, but why are the unicorns standing on pretzel rods?

PunkyBruiser March 26, 2010 at 11:58 pm

If you didn’t watch it till the end.. you may have missed the very best part. In the Zebra’s final moments, Napoleon Dynamite possesses his body just long enough for him to exclaim, “You freakin’ wrecked my country!!” Amazeballs!

Jim89048 March 27, 2010 at 1:25 am

In what respect, Charlie?

DC Hates Me March 27, 2010 at 4:38 am

I’m thinking this is pretty good. Wait .. what’s the opposite of good?

Potater March 27, 2010 at 4:48 am

It’s not an allegory if you slap labels on the metaphors. Just sayin’.

libwakman March 27, 2010 at 10:58 am

Trigger just called me on his droolphone and said that video is retarded.
