Our dorky siblings at the Indecision 2008 blog found this hilarious parody of the Will.I.Am Obama ad/video. For me, this hits my top two rules of comedy, 1) a nice, fuzzy Will.I.Am hat is always hilarious, and 2) the sign language for "we are f@cked" is always hilarious.
In case you missed it, here's former President Bill Clinton on last night's Daily Show, warning Jon Stewart that -- in the event of a Hillary presidency -- he might be moved to slit his throat. Apparently, he has a lot more in common with right-wing pundits than anyone thought.
Update: This new video is the exclusive, uncut version of the interview with six extra minutes that never made it to the air.
Before tallying everything up, we would have sworn that the winner would have been a "pole polishing" joke of some sort, but perhaps another day. This one just made us laugh the most, and we didn't want to risk offending Mitt Romney's Mormon god by being untrue to ourselves.
"...except that. Don't ask me that." Submitted by Beth.
Runners Up:
Mitt Romney demonstrates that, contrary to the familiar joke, it only takes one Mormon to screw in a light bulb. (Greg W)
"I love America! If America had a shaft, I'd do this to it!" (apugmire)
"...with one shot the bunny was down! But it jumped up and turned on me! I grabbed it by the throat with my good hand...!" (Dave V)
"Once you've selected a dye that best matches your natural hair color, you shake the bottle like this and simply lather it in like shampoo." (Erik)
"Okay, for the last time: You don't bury the survivors. Does anyone have a question about politics?" (Kevin C)
This week, we had so many good questions for Mitt Romney, that we decided to highlight a few of our favorites.
Again, very very difficult choosing process. But thank you all so much for contributing. You can see all the captions here. And here's a gallery of previous caption challenge winners.
Oh, and expect a big CC InDecider announcement after the holiday weekend. Have fun searching for your Memorial Eggs.
From the writers of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart...
Senators from both parties have joined together on a sweeping immigration bill that offers something for both sides. For the right, tougher border security. For the left, legal status for most of the nation's 12 million illegal immigrants. And healthy, guilt-free lawns for everyone!
This an odd confluence of interests, reflected in the bill's title: the "Welcome to America, Let Me Show You Where We Keep the Cleaning Supplies" act of 2007.
The bill would create two new types of visas for foreigners hoping to work in America: the "Y" visa would allow new immigrants to serve as a guest worker for two years, while the "Z" visa, for illegal immigrants already in the country, would allow them to work on a probationary basis for four years, with the hope of eventually gaining citizenship. There's also the American airlines "advantage" visa, which would grant immigrants 100 frequent flier miles for every mile walked across the Arizona desert.
The bill doesn't make getting citizenship easy: even immigrants who get one of the "Z" visas would have to wait up to eight years to become permanent lawful residents, and even then, would have to pay $5,000 and make a "touch back" trip to their home country. And roll a pair of sevens. And name every #1 single Elvis ever had.
In case that's still not enough, immigrants would also be ranked on a "point" system to determine their desirability. One proposal awards eight points for science, technology and health care workers, and fifteen points for training in fields that are expected to experience the fastest growth. Among those in-demand jobs: illegal immigrant point counter.
Despite the bipartisan support, the bill has also received vocal opposition from both sides. Still, President Bush views this bill positively, telling reporters, "As I reflect upon this important accomplishment, it reminds me of how much the Americans appreciate the fact that we can work together - when we work together we see positive things." He continued, "Like, f'rinstance, I see me actually being able to accomplish something before I leave office. Tried war, tried Social Security. Now I wanna be the immigration president. After that, I got nothing."
