Bin Laden Videos Prove Osama’s Still Alive … In Our Funny Bones!

by Ken Layne  


Is Osama bin Laden really dead? Not if the ability to make America laff is any indication! Perhaps the hated terrorist will always be alive in the part of our heart that makes us chuckle. This video is sung in Arabic or something. Swedish?

Is anybody funnier than teevee’s Gallagher?

The guy who posted the following gem explains his confusion:

funny video someone gave me….enjoy….cant tell if its osama or jesus…..o well

Oh well, indeed! Middle Easterners like Jesus and Osama, how can you tell them apart? Like this: Jesus was killed by the Romans, not Barack Obama … as far as we know.

Bunnycrack69 should get all the Oscars next year.

DaRooster May 10, 2011 at 12:51 am

That Gallagher is something… else.

Salam Bombay May 10, 2011 at 2:23 am

Here's the interview Marc Maron did with Gallagher for his podcast. Maron got so much under his skin that Gallagher walked out in a huff in the end. Apparently, he couldn't take Maron's pointed questions about his racist, homophobic trash.

Gallagher has been completely insane for years playing small clubs and regaling people with insane racist and misogynistic rants before the obligatory melon smashing.

Gopherit May 10, 2011 at 1:25 am

the only melons smashed were a white trash mama laughing herself to a coronary. fucking idiot.

trampndirtdown May 10, 2011 at 12:59 am

Thanks for the effort Ken but I can't/won't watch Gallagher, was it offal?

DerrickWildcat May 10, 2011 at 1:00 am

This looks like it will be a good movie.

nounverb911 May 10, 2011 at 1:03 am

Better than "Atlas Shrugged"?

SayItWithWookies May 10, 2011 at 1:20 am

Adderal 451.

nounverb911 May 10, 2011 at 1:06 am

Don't believe the Afterdeathers, Osama sleeps with the fishes. Has a fish wrapped in Osama's turban shown up yet?

iburl May 10, 2011 at 1:07 am

Vonkette mit dem Deutsch Krieg Hymnen?

Gopherit May 10, 2011 at 1:26 am

war on the hymen? we can all get behind that.

ShaveTheWhales May 10, 2011 at 2:09 am

Fick die Krieg

How dare you bunnycrack69! Jesus isn't some dirty Middle Eastern foreigner with radical religious beliefs and long scraggly beard. How dare you be so un-American? You should go back to 69ing your Bunny's crack, pervert! >:(

SayItWithWookies May 10, 2011 at 1:13 am

Oh great — the Michael Jackson postmortem tributes are going to look like sheer genius compared to to America's soi-disant comedians' triumphalist bits about Osama. But I guess I should've seen this coming — after feeling so good about capping bin Laden's ass, deep in my liberal soul I knew there would be some negative backlash. And now the nation's Larry the Cable Guy wannabes take on the vanquishing of evil. Oi veh.

Fortunately disco Jesus being mistaken for bin Laden is unintentionally hilarious — so, like the rules for leap year, there are exceptions within exceptions. I will cling to such hope for the next few weeks, for there will be nothing else.

BerkeleyBear May 10, 2011 at 9:17 am

Just wait until Toby Keith releases an update to his "we'll stick a boot up yer ass, it's the American way" song. Then at least the mouthbreathers will have a single anthem and stop trying to come up with something on their own.

SorosBot May 10, 2011 at 9:44 am

But it's going to take a while, because they have to find a way to celebrate bin Laden's death that ignores that the black President got him.

bumfug May 10, 2011 at 1:14 am

That was either Jesus or Mick Foley.

horsedreamer_1 May 10, 2011 at 8:19 am

Was the video set to a Tori Amos song? If yes, then Mick Foley.

smokefilledroommate May 10, 2011 at 1:17 am

Thank god for shit that's < 1 min long.

Gopherit May 10, 2011 at 1:28 am

we can all get behind that. i am still bitter about having to translate german i have half forgotten while i am drunk. riley wouldn't do this to us.

MrFizzy May 10, 2011 at 8:45 am

Even that's a net loss of 55 seconds. That first vid looks like something a first-grader put together. Maybe OBL just isn't funny.

Gopherit May 10, 2011 at 1:21 am

Fuck, ken. it is like you know my drunken schedule…….post this kind of shit when i am at my most vulnerable and trying to make it fit all of my college German.

memzilla May 10, 2011 at 1:22 am

So which is more dead, Osama or Gallagher's career?

bumfug May 10, 2011 at 1:36 am

Even the crabs wouldn't eat Gallagher's career.

smokefilledroommate May 10, 2011 at 1:38 am

His own crabs?

Gopherit May 10, 2011 at 1:57 am

maybe carrot tops

DaRooster May 10, 2011 at 9:46 am

Of course… they're on steroids.

DownFist Troll May 10, 2011 at 2:59 am

Both of them, Katie.

fartknocker May 10, 2011 at 1:23 am

I really hope with 70 something virgins the dude can do better than that. They may be virgins but I believe they have style versus the soul of old man Bin Laden who works to please the ladies. Many of those virgins were friends on the Lardasshians Facebook pages. They know style, fashion and love American petro dollars. And those Armenian asses – I bet they are as soft as fluffy kittens and taste like Smores.

FakaktaSouth May 10, 2011 at 1:26 am

The (I'm saying) Jesus gets hit by a bus one looks more Easter-y to me – sort of He is Risen-ish and then, haha no. Gallagher makes me sad – maybe this is the brother he keeps suing. I remember thinking he was so clever when he did that English spelling is arbitrarily hard routine – I was maybe 10 and there was a lot of stand up on the new HBO/Showtime channels back then so I have a lot of weird comedian crushes – I mean, I never wanted to fuck Gallagher, but Howie Mandell with a fro wore me out. What?

Crank_Tango May 10, 2011 at 4:57 am

ur howie's latex glove

DahBoner May 10, 2011 at 10:18 am

72 virgins are overrated.

After about the 10th virgin, the confused, befuddled look on their faces gets old…

fuflans May 10, 2011 at 1:28 am

i'm sorry what? arnie and marie have split and taylor has left 'gossip girls' and i'm pretty sure whitney houston is in rehab again.

who is this 'osama' character?

Gopherit May 10, 2011 at 1:40 am

Marie did what any Shiver would do. no chance of being president, no chance of cheap whores liking his lack of pecs…..fuck the bitch.

SayItWithWookies May 10, 2011 at 2:28 am

What?! Oh, there goes Arnold's family values cred right out the door.

flamingpdog May 10, 2011 at 4:21 am

Osama and his wives have split. Also.

RadioGroundZero May 10, 2011 at 1:35 am

The language, of course, is euro-trash.

Sassomatic May 10, 2011 at 1:41 am

David Vitter is harrier than I expected.

Bonzos_Bed_Time May 10, 2011 at 1:42 am

And this is how you honor Riley's last day?

memzilla May 10, 2011 at 1:49 am

Ed McMahon: Osama, Gallagher's career, and one third of America's houses.

Carnac: And the question is, name three things that are under water.

emmelemm May 10, 2011 at 2:03 am

Awesome.

donner_froh May 10, 2011 at 1:52 am

Loved the nukes in the first one. When in doubt blow something up.

pinkocommi May 10, 2011 at 1:57 am

My comedic Osama video has him running in slow motion across a field of flowers into the arms of his gay lover George W. Bush who is also dressed in a diaper.

Pop, pop, splash.

Disco Jee-bus will haunt my dreams tonight. Thanks Ken.

Bowmanave May 10, 2011 at 3:44 am

Is this another conspiracy theory thread? I suspect that if the whole thing was fabricated we would have heard from Bin Laden by now in much the same way we did with Elvis.

Mort_Sinclair May 10, 2011 at 6:40 am

The decomposing mouse in my basement is funnier that Gallagher.

charlesdegoal May 10, 2011 at 7:48 am

Kinda hopeless to make fun of things that are trying to make fun of something that's not really humorous. The Jesus/Gloria Gaynor is funny in its own right and has nothing to do with OBL. Try again.

BaldarTFlagass May 10, 2011 at 8:06 am

I wonder if Abba will be doing a summer reunion/comeback tour in support of this new release.

BaldarTFlagass May 10, 2011 at 8:09 am

Also, I liked Cake's version of that "I Will Survive" tune better.

neiltheblaze May 10, 2011 at 8:16 am

You know – I don't think I've ever seen a single Gallagher routine all the way through – so I figure, why mess with a good thing?

horsedreamer_1 May 10, 2011 at 8:23 am

That Jesus survival video just has me thinking back to third year at college, reading theSpark website*, & following the staff on the on-site web-cams. Namely, the staffer who went by "Jesus" — & never broke character. Oh, those kooky Harvard math majors/indie-rockers!**

*Learned of it, oddly enough, from TIME, where the front-of-book news-briefs included a mention of the "Stinky Meat Project".

**Seriously: the au courant indie-rock outfit Bishop Allen is composed of Spark veterans.

BZ1 May 10, 2011 at 8:24 am

Doesn't Gallagher say "Obama bin Laden" at the beginning of the cartoon funfest?

El Pinche May 10, 2011 at 8:47 am

Yes.

DemmeFatale May 10, 2011 at 2:46 pm

I think (hope) he's trying to say O-bomb-a, as in "O say can you see."
(But he IS a major asshole, so…)

FannyBurney May 10, 2011 at 8:30 am

Come on, will there be anything funnier than Bristol Palin's new reality show? The one where she moves to California to share an apartment with two guys and work for a charity?

MrFizzy May 10, 2011 at 8:43 am

This is so lame 'W' could've cooked it up.

4TheTurnstiles May 10, 2011 at 8:58 am

America needs a war on poverty. Cept for the bombs and whatnot, that Lyndon Johnson and his portentous grundle may have been onto something.

DashboardBuddha May 10, 2011 at 8:59 am

I thought Gallagher was dead

AJW@[redacted] May 10, 2011 at 10:12 am

Well, he's dead to me, at least.

Frost/Nixon/Robocop May 10, 2011 at 9:04 am

Still waiting for the teabaggers to photoshop the video of Bin Laden watching TV to include him watching Rachel Maddow. Do we have to do all your work for you? Don't you have anything resembling a sense of humor?

BaldarTFlagass May 10, 2011 at 9:11 am

OT, but now that Riley has left to spend more time with his family, who's going to provide us with our Morning in America? I'm on pins and needles and bated breath here…

DashboardBuddha May 10, 2011 at 9:12 am

The fact that he still has a career is proof that humor is dead in this country.

horsedreamer_1 May 10, 2011 at 9:18 am

In Soviet Russia, death humours you.

Ruhe May 10, 2011 at 9:15 am

At my daughter's eleventh birthday party this weekend one of her friends offered up this joke:
All the bars are serving a new drink called the Bin Laden. It's two shots and a splash of water.

I offer that bon mot to you my fellow Wonketteers so that you may use it in the appropriate situations and thereby "blend in".

EatsBabyDingos May 10, 2011 at 9:33 am

Shots of tekillya, right?

MarionNYNY May 10, 2011 at 9:29 am

If this is what it took to get Abba back together, then it was all worth it.

mrblifil May 10, 2011 at 9:32 am

My favorite part of the Wonkettz tributes to video content are that I don't have to watch a single second of any one of them. And for that I thank our troops.

Ken Layne May 10, 2011 at 1:22 pm

I guess you've learned the hard way that there's nothing but pain if you click the play button ….

EatsBabyDingos May 10, 2011 at 9:32 am

When asked, Alvin Green still had no comment.

crybabyboehner May 10, 2011 at 11:05 am

That Gallagher sure does know how to tickle the old funnybone.

Worthly[♬♪♬♪♫♪♬]Skum May 10, 2011 at 12:16 pm

I liked the brief cameo of Donald Trump's phallus at 0:30 in the 1st vid.

Buckminster May 10, 2011 at 1:02 pm

I'm so ashamed to have laughed at bunnycrack's effort.
