Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

You cannot shame the shameless.

Being the leader of the world means to be the leader of peace.

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the GOP

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

I did not have this on my fuck 2022 bingo card.

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

Why did Dr. Oz lose? well, according to the exit polls, it’s because Fetterman won.

I’m pretty sure there’s only one Jack Smith.

“Squeaker” McCarthy

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

All your base are belong to Tunch.

If you’re pissed about Biden’s speech, he was talking about you.

The revolution will be supervised.

The republican caucus is already covering themselves with something, and it’s not glory.

John Fetterman: Too Manly for Pennsylvania.  Paid for by the Oz for Senator campaign.

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

    Am I the only one who thinks Jib Jab lacks the in-depth understanding of modern politics necessary to make, um….humor?

    I’ve never found their work funny or even insightful in the least.

    Shoot me but I like Obama running around on a unicorn. Seems oddly appropriate (and I say that as one of his fans).

    Insightful? It’s a fucking simple parody.

    The first two posters need to get the fuck off the rag and realize its not meant to be a fucking indepth look at all that is wrong in the world, its a balanced fucking joke.

    Oh it’s fine if you don’t find it funny. But it’s still a fucking parody even if some joke they made causes you to remember you have a stick up your ass.

    And as for expecting “in-depth” and “insightful” in a two minute flash video… Ok…

    its a balanced fucking joke.

    A joke should be at least funny.

    The only people who find JibJab funny are journalists, because it represents their basic understanding of politics.

    As for funny, this is about as funny as you can get and still straddle that imaginary bi-partisan line …

    I can’t stand JibJab. They media herd has “decided” that it’s just oh so witty, and now we are subjected to this bipartisan inanity every election season. CNN gushed over this piece of crap for 5 minutes this morning.

    I actually thought it was pretty funny. And It also presents animated truth that the new talking point “no on is allowed to make fun of Obama” is untrue.

    Talking about change while bounding around a meadow on a unicorn in the hoity toighty voice, HILARIOUS.

    Oh yeah, fuck you to anyone who disagrees with me and thinks this shit is cute. That would be grounds for a divorce in my book. There’s some crap I just won’t put up with, and laughing along with all the idiots at JibJab definitely qualifies!

    Not one of their better efforts. The music is much weaker than their usual, for a start.

    And they don’t even seem to be trying to be funny. I don’t mean “they’re so lame ha ha its like they’re not even trying.” I mean, literally, they’re not trying to be funny.

    They’re aiming instead for that cheap chuckle of recognition, the kind of thing a down-on-his-luck comic goes for when he’s got a gig at a company party: “He was outta there faster than…(looks down at his index card)…Frank from accounting that time Susan came looking for the quarterly expense summary.” Oh, that rolls ’em in the aisles.

    I like Jib-Jab. Their bit with the rapping founders was brilliant, Big Box-Mart was excellent, and their Bush-Kerry piece in ’04 was really strong. This one is weaksauce.

    Brilliantly funny. Jib Jab, how I’d missed you!

    And as for the posters I see here belly-achin’ and hatin’ on this obvious parody of media campaign coverage and the whole political P.R. industry, you all are starting to make me think there’s a point to the claim that a whole lot liberals have completely lost their sense of humor (was Re: New York Post). Grow a pair and learn how to laugh at yourselves.

    As always, some times people speak of what they do not understand (I have done that, so I understand). These jerk-off’s first famous “Parody” had Kerry in woman’s sexy lingerie wearing garters, with a collar, on all fours, and had a lease being held by Europeans who were whipping him – that is not parody but a total rightwing blow job and if you think otherwise after learning these facts, you must practice that form of sex.

    I liked a lot of the previous ones. This wasn’t that funny as the one other ones. I even thought the Kerry in teh lingerie was funny. I guess I wasn’t as partisan back then since I wasn’t particularly impressed with Kerry so making fun of him was fine with me.

    I giggled, but apparently, that means I get fucked up the ass by Europeans while wearing a negligee. Fuck this shit. I’m logging into Second Life where I can get assfucked by a neko from New Jersey.

    Hey, I didn’t mean that or that is NOT what I was trying to say about you – what I meant to say was what they did to Kerry was terrible (esp. compared to bushwhack) and if you did see it and thought it was fair and funny and still think they are not right wing nutcases than you like that type of thing as comedy! NOT that you get… well, damn, can’t I insult someone without insulting them? … I mean I didn’t mean that. Sorry; I fucked up.

    Fuck every single one of you fuckers.

    Now that that is out of the way, I thought it was funny and the Hillary/Bill/Monica/cigar/frying pan moment was priceless. As an Obama supporter, I got a kick out of seeing the MUP with Obama flying through the sky. I really thought the ‘Bambi’ like scenery was a nice touch…lol!

    The shots at McCain were good too, but I really liked the GB/Cheney opening lines. I think they took shots at just about everyone in it, and they all were pretty funny to see put to music.

    Hey, I like fart jokes so this was a no brainer for me. ;)

    It’s not so much that JibJab takes shots at both sides, it’s that they do so ENTIRELY within established right-wing frames. “McCain wants to seriously fight terrorists and Obama has good rhetoric but nothing else, so who knows who’s right?” is not a balanced viewpoint, and nothing will make it one.

    Same as their bit on Ben Stein’s dickheaded documentary, which asked the question: “Since scientists hate God and won’t look at any of the evidence for intelligent design, are they right to stifle anyone who questions their doctrine? Who knows? Maybe both sides have a point!”

    Seriously, I know this weak-ass framing shit is good enough to fool TV talking heads, but do any actual grownups fall for it?

    July 18, 2008 at 1:00 am

    I don’t see it that way. To me, McCain is presented as a war-mongering nutcase with PTSD from his time in Nam!
