It wouldn’t be a casual Friday without a TV Funhouse. “Divertor” is one of the best Robert Smigel cartoons, in my opinion:

The Ambiguously Gay Duo is a funnier bit, but Smigel really has that whole craptacular 1970s Hanna-Barbera animation style down cold, from the use of the same repeated shots, to the Ted Knight-sound-alike narrator.

is this bait for an “i question the timing” comment?

i hate the “the man manipulates the proles with pulp and fear” meme. i’m humorless. shoot me.

I have to say that I’m still a fan of The Ambiguously Gay Duo.

I didn’t say thee best. Of course TAGD is the best.

Can’t believe they didn’t parody that horrible Greta Van Susteren.

Her show is the most exploitive, gawdawful piece of “journalism” I’ve ever seen.

I like the X-Presidents, personally. When they added Bill Clinton they kinda had no where left to go. With Clinton “outfit” consisting of face-shaped mask on his crotch (and subsequent humping of, well, everything). That and George H. W. Bush always shown “romancing” Ma Bush, well, I don’t think anything can top that.

This is just Liberal-think-as-comedy. Sadly a lot of Lefties really believe something like this happens all the time, only from the Right to the Left, of course. There are never conspiracies coming from the Left against the Right, oh no.

One thing’s for sure, Divertor is going to have his hands full in the ’08 election.

Uh, I don’t get it.

As I’ve said before, Greta van Gossipcolumn’s “journalistic” ability falls somewhere between the Weekly World News and The National Enquirer.

Humor imitates life, or is it life imitating humor?
