You know, you might want to look into this sir but I think maybe Rush Limbaugh was the 20th highjacker but he was just so strung out on Oxycontin he missed his flight.

LOL

Sean Hannity....Sean Hannity said he was going to get waterboarded for charity for our armed forces. He hasn't done it yet I see. You know talking about he can take a waterboarding...I could break Sean Hannity just by giving him a middle seat in coach.

Nice :)

Oh, geez, now we'll get to hear from the teabaggers nonstop about this one, I'm sure.

 
robmilmel [TotalFark] 2009-05-10 12:01:36 AM  
I tell my kids, I say look if two cars pull up and one has a stranger and the other car has Dick Cheney...you get in the car with the stranger.

RIMSHOT!

This wasn't funny. Colbert was funny. This is low-hanging fruit.

I actually like Wanda, but this just came off as bitter and did not contain a lick of nuance or intelligence.

This will be fodder for the right for a long time.

For some odd reason I have always been sexually attracted to that woman.

This just made me want to jump her bones even more.

 
BlackCat23 [TotalFark] 2009-05-10 12:14:10 AM  
Having watched most of the showing, i have to say, it was a complete trollfest.


/the teleprompter thing? comedy gold

bulldg4life [TotalFark] 2009-05-10 12:17:07 AM  
Obama with the teleprompter was funny shiat. And the "some of you covered me, all of you voted for me...apologies to the Fox table"....outstanding.

Enh. Not bad. Certainly not up to Colbert's high standard though.

Oh man, that is beyond hilarious. I mean, yeah, low hanging fruit, but goddamn is that funny.

 
bulldg4life [TotalFark] 2009-05-10 12:23:18 AM  
Dude, who ever wrote Obama's jokes lit it up.

They should green the two parts of his speech instead of this Wanda Sykes thing.

Action Replay Nick: This will be fodder for the right for a long time.

Well, to be fair, anything that happened was going to be twisted and distorted in an effort to smear Obama, no matter how mild it was.

I've never really found Wanda Sykes to be all that funny, but I did laugh a few times during it - mainly at the moments that will be called extremely inappropriate in the days to come. Overall, I found Obama funnier though. The line about Boehner being a person of color was great.

 
TempeSun [TotalFark] 2009-05-10 12:24:33 AM  
I just watched the whole thing, not just this tiny clip. Hilarious. Christ, she is funny!

Part 1
Part 2

Up until YouTube pulls them

 
Mentat [TotalFark] 2009-05-10 12:26:44 AM  
One thing I've come to appreciate about Obama's humor is the timing. He'll ignore a particular piece of whargarbl for weeks and then out of the blue, WHAM, knocks it out of the park.

I'm hoping they're waiting for someone to come along with a single video. And when/if it comes, and goes green, i hope it's on the main page.

epic whargarbl ENGAGE!

During my second hundred days, we will design/build/open a library dedicated to my first hundred days.

 
Obnox [recently expired TotalFark] 2009-05-10 12:32:47 AM  
That was painfully unfunny, but I give Wanda credit for rubbing Obama's nose in the shiat: he doesn't have the stomach to prosecute the Cheney admin. All he can do is smile politely. No stones at all.

Meh, nothing made my jaw drop like watching Bush "search" for WMDs. I honestly have never seen anything that stupid and callous in my life.

HAHA!!! We went to war for no reason HAHAHAHA

F*ck the right, they earned everything they get.

 
Sybilll [TotalFark] 2009-05-10 12:35:15 AM  
I've always loved these WHCD events, even when *my* guy was being lauded. But, death wishes, and personal attacks is now funny? Don't you guys know you won? FFS. Obama was funny, even though he threw (absent) Hillary under the bus, but, for real, I thought the guest of honor (BHO) got roasted, not FoxNews anchors and conservative mouthpieces.

 
DrBenway [TotalFark] 2009-05-10 12:46:46 AM  
Well, all I can say is that it's about time some of these new right-wing buttholes got ripped. Though they'll probably only see it as some form of validation in their deluded little minds.

Much funnier. "I will learn to go off the prompter and Joe will learn to stay on the prompter." LOL.

Perhaps Republicans should grow a little higher, then.

 
CanisNoir [TotalFark] 2009-05-10 01:29:50 AM  
Meh, it was okay, got pretty partisan near the end but I haven't watched any others so I don't know if that's the norm.

Obama had some good ones, I especially liked the "And on the Seventy Third Day, I'll Rest" line.
Wanda calling Michelle crazy, "You don't pat the Queen on the back like she's sliding into home plate".

All in all, big whoop; it's not like it's a surprise that it turned into a Bash Republican's act; though in truth I think Obama would have done better for himself by not insulting the previous administration, it diminished him.

 
heinekenftw 2009-05-10 01:30:03 AM  
Dick Cheney...he's a scary man..scares me to death. I tell my kids, I say look if two cars pull up and one has a stranger and the other car has Dick Cheney...you get in the car with the stranger.

Good advice.

I will monitor accordingly.

As someone constantly accused of being that Fark Independent you're so happy to pin on me, I can honestly tell you, that not only are you wrong, but you're a prejudicial ijit.

Wanda Sykes? You guys get more pathetic each day. If she's your acme of sharp, political humor then you have some serious credibility issues. Then again, she is the right color and the comedy pickings are slim.

 
James F. Campbell 2009-05-10 01:40:10 AM  
Nothing will ever surpass Bush making fun of the fact that he started a war for no reason: "Where's the WMDs? Not under here... not over here, either!"

 
James F. Campbell 2009-05-10 01:40:52 AM  
Shut up, CanisNoir, you turkey.

Sykes and Colbert were both great. I just wish that Craig Ferguson, who performed last year, got more recognition; he was very good.

Buy some Astroglide. You took up the reins of a Fark Independent quite admirably without even being called on it.

Yep, anyone black is there by color and color alone. And you think we are in trouble? Pathetic.

Whatever for? I'm not "Butthurt" by any stretch, in fact I laughed quite a few times. It just gets irritating when someone tosses out two stupid Meme's, neither of which really hold any relevance any longer. It's just intellectual laziness at it's core.

It's even more humorous when something like that is espoused by the side that's supposedly all about "Intellectualism" and such. So, Butthurt about the Dinner and the partisan jokes, not so much.

HAH!

Not Colbert, but nothing will ever live up to Colbert. That was one for the ages.

I am still surprised the Secret Service did not whack Colbert, just out of principal. His day in the sun made me proud to be an American.

To be fair, Colbert is a force of comedic nature. That's a farking high bar to meet :)

I just came in here to say I am a liberal and I dislike Wanda Sykes passionately. Her comedy is bad and she should feel bad.

That is all.

I think she was funny early on and became less funny later.
