Eh. Not that good, but good enough for a slow news period.

Let’s hope they spoke too soon re: Castro.

that was very very funny

Starblazer on December 12, 2006 at 11:04 PM

Good stuff!

Allah, Sure it ain’t academy award material, but it is pretty cute (which is all you can expect from them).

Nothing to be cheery about the year.

I like them, generally, and try to find the humor. Unfortunately, I can’t laugh at the state of our world and its leadership. The cheeryness in the video is almost creepy.

Best part was “Zarquawi bit the dust”.

Here’s hoping for a soon to be Cuba Libre!

Entelechy on December 12, 2006 at 11:30 PM

The look on the faces of the audience at the end really sums up my feelings about the year. Shock and horror!

Here’s hoping for a soon to be Cuba Libre!

Entelechy on December 12, 2006 at 11:30 PM

Indeed, and that Castro’s brother WON’T be their next dictator. *sigh* One can dream, can’t he?

Out of the mouths of babes…

CyberCipher on December 12, 2006 at 11:54 PM

Yes, you can, thedecider! The brother is an old fa-t too, fortunately.

I’ve always wished for a free Cuba in my lifetime. It’s becoming a reality now. The island deserves to join its vicinity.

Entelechy on December 12, 2006 at 11:55 PM

… more truth in that Jibjab clip than what I’ve seen out of the MSM all year.

CyberCipher on December 12, 2006 at 11:55 PM

Muckin’ fediocre.

Absolutely.. I just caught the premier on Leno, and it is weak… and it’s moderately annoying that they used Delay and Abramoff by name and said something (while showing it) about a freezer full of cash… but as we know that was DEMOCRAT William Jefferson. Sure you see him in the freezer for a fraction of a second if you’re looking for him, but do you think even 10% of people watching it got the reference or had a clue who that was?

I’d much rather check out John Kerry’s Middle East comedy tour in which he aims to stop by Iraq where he claims troops actually laughed at his “botched joke”, and then tell any of them who didn’t enjoy it, that it was their fault and the fault of the White House that they are too stupid to understand what he really meant.

It should have been…

Paris Hilton swore of sex.
Dum dum dum dum dum dum.
Dum dum dum dum dum duuuum.
Dum dum dum dum dum.

Paris Hilton took up sex.
Dum dum dum dum dum dum.
Dum dum dum dum dum duuuum.
Dum dum dum dum dum.

That was pretty cute and funny, in a “God help us all” sort of way.

tikvah on December 13, 2006 at 2:01 AM

It’s a whole lot better than that Bush & Republican-bashing Comedy Central program with Lewis Black (who usually cracks me up)

JetBoy on December 13, 2006 at 5:25 AM

Well, not funny…but I have a great fauxtograph of Nancy Pelosi linked from my site. That might make you laugh.

seejanemom on December 13, 2006 at 8:05 AM

Darn, the boss is in the office this morning so I can’t watch it yet. They’re usually pretty good. SeeJaneMom, that link scared the bejeezus out me.

Looks like a case of extreme makeover gone REALLY bad.

CyberCipher on December 13, 2006 at 10:10 AM

What player does this video use? I didn’t even see it in Opera.

CorinthianJest on December 13, 2006 at 10:46 AM

…and a Senater IM’d me for a picture of my a$$….

..that will be fun explaining that to my 12 year old, let’s hope he doesn’t catch the new JibJab this time around.

It’s a form of Flash Player 9.

Freelancer on December 13, 2006 at 12:11 PM

If you’re going to attempt some humor, at least be accurate with your insults. Delay freezer full of cash? No, it was William Jefferson, democrat Louisiana with the cold-cash…who was just re-elected…imagine that, dems re-electing a corrupt candidate……

God forbid they are knowledgeable about current events.

Nonfactor on December 13, 2006 at 2:58 PM

ZZZZZZZZZZZZ…

My apologies to the parents out there, but my spine screams when I hear children singing highpitched and off key. (And no, I DON’T have any…so don’t even bother to ask.)

JibJab parodies have rarely made me laugh. I mean, Paul Shanklin ALWAYS does a better job. Which is why RUSH’s got him.

Nonfactor on December 13, 2006 at 2:58 PM

My 12 year old doesn’t need the details of sex scandals, I’m sure he’ll get along just fine without it.

jjjen on December 13, 2006 at 7:59 PM

Aside from the screwy DeLay/Jefferson thing, they also did their best to make Israel and Hizb’allah look equivalent.

Just Like Every Other Leftist Entertainment Craphead.

Man, when did comedy stop being funny? It was funny when I was a kid.

Part of it is, the whole “children speaking on adult subjects” thing was funny for about five seconds, I think it was 1935, maybe 1936.

Since then, it’s been overused every time it’s been used, from Python’s “Meaning of Life” to this crap.

I’m sure he will too, and I didn’t want to imply that I was telling you how to raise your kid. But just reading your comments makes me wonder how clueless parents are. Twelve-year olds aren’t as naive as parents would like to believe; he probably masturbates, he most likely hears curse words and says them occasionally at school (if he goes to school), and he’s probably lusted after older women. Not something a parent wants to hear, but it’s most likely true if you haven’t raised the kid in a bubble.
