Video: The sadly obligatory “Gina Gershon as Sarah Palin” parody clip
posted at 3:37 pm on September 11, 2008 by Allahpundit
Hey, remember when Gershon could act? (Me neither.) Simply awful, but I offer it to you anyway for two reasons. One: It comes from Will Ferrell’s outfit, Funny or Die, and as such stands as a shining example of how narrow the gap is these days between the pros and the better YouTube amateurs. Two: I’m going stir crazy waiting for the Charlie Gibson interview and need to get my Palin fix any way I can. If there’s a gaffe, on which subject is it most likely to come? I’ve got bad, bad vibes about Gibby tossing her a curveball on power vacuums in North Korea if Kim keels over. Take China for a thousand, Sarah!
Anyone have any Vicodin?

At least it’s not a pellet gun!

Die Gina Gershon.
(Funny or Die)
carbon_footprint on September 11, 2008 at 3:39 PM
They apparently chose the “Die” option here.
Citizen Duck on September 11, 2008 at 3:40 PM
B lister begging for attention.
roninacreage on September 11, 2008 at 3:41 PM
Piss poor way to hold a shotgun. You need to have the buttstock right up against the shoulder.
rbj on September 11, 2008 at 3:42 PM
Gov. Sarah Palin is better looking and has a better sense of humor.
AubieJon on September 11, 2008 at 3:43 PM
Allah, if I can figure out a way to bottle Palin, will you take it every 4 hours and keep the pessimism at DEFCON 4?
TheHat on September 11, 2008 at 3:43 PM
Must not understand it, since I am too busy bitterly clinging to a real sense of humor.
coyoterex on September 11, 2008 at 3:43 PM
Funny or Die? How about “Bored to Death”?
jgapinoy on September 11, 2008 at 3:43 PM
Completely lame. But that Vlog clip was funny in that part where she says McCain called and said, “My friend…” I did laugh there. Rest is tedious though, ‘cept for the accent.
Spirit of 1776 on September 11, 2008 at 3:43 PM
That was far from funny. Pretty supid actually and I used to think Gina Gershon was hot. Then her nose started to get to me.
Geronimo on September 11, 2008 at 3:43 PM
in all fairness she is pretty funny in her recurring role as an orthodox jew slut in curb your enthusiasm
treyevans on September 11, 2008 at 3:43 PM
Allah….I got odds that she makes no mistakes/errors of consequence. I got odds that says they attempt to point out some tiny error (smaller than any Obama has ever made) and make it bigger then it is thus helping the McCain/Palin ticket even more.
azcop on September 11, 2008 at 3:43 PM
It’s not even worth it to see Gina in a bikini.
I’ve had more entertaining root canals.
yo on September 11, 2008 at 3:43 PM
That woman is gonna hurt her boobages handling a weapon like that like that.
GulfCoastBamaFan on September 11, 2008 at 3:44 PM
Quite true, only problem is we are talking Gershon here. If she were to hold in the shoulder pocket, it would dislocate her bones.
TheHat on September 11, 2008 at 3:44 PM
Apparently this is supposed to make me like Palin less?
Jim Treacher on September 11, 2008 at 3:45 PM
Meh…needs more cowbell
F15Mech on September 11, 2008 at 3:45 PM
Speaking of teeth, Gina is an actor, can she not afford a freakin dentist?
TheHat on September 11, 2008 at 3:45 PM
Dreadful. The pimple on the back of my neck has got more character.
Dr.Cwac.Cwac on September 11, 2008 at 3:46 PM
Dude…you really need to relaaaxxx..she’s gonna do just fine.
and if she blows it …. I’ll just slit my wrists, no biggie.
ChrisM on September 11, 2008 at 3:46 PM
The other one is funnier. The Palin Tape.
roninacreage on September 11, 2008 at 3:47 PM
Didn’t bump my poll.
Chuck Schick on September 11, 2008 at 3:47 PM
Agreed…I’d watch if she were naked though.
Wyznowski on September 11, 2008 at 3:47 PM
There isn’t going to be a gaffe, Allah! This will raise your Pessimeter (TM) to the unprecedented level 10.
jimmy the notable on September 11, 2008 at 3:47 PM
B-List?? She doesn’t even show up on her own grocery list.
CurtZHP on September 11, 2008 at 3:48 PM
Stupid.
“Funny or Die”? More like “Slavering Entertainment Hyenas for Obama”.
jaime on September 11, 2008 at 3:48 PM
The lengths some Hollywood types will go to take their clothes off…sheesh!
TheBigOldDog on September 11, 2008 at 3:48 PM
Speaking of The One’s college education…..
Why won’t he release his records from Columbia or Harvard? Why isn’t he speaking about the one leadership position he had, editor of the Harvard Law Review?
Jack Cashill has some intriguing reasons.
Dr.Cwac.Cwac on September 11, 2008 at 3:48 PM
Lame.
Dave Rywall on September 11, 2008 at 3:48 PM
Sarah will kill in the interview.
If Gibson throws her a curve ball, she will handle it beautifully.
Wait and see.
carbon_footprint on September 11, 2008 at 3:49 PM
It was worth the boredom to see Gershon in a bikini.
toliver on September 11, 2008 at 3:49 PM
I’m getting the sense that Will Ferrell’s career has peaked. Lame politics combined with a dose of ‘not funny’ as in ‘dull’.
Peaked.
Django on September 11, 2008 at 3:50 PM
Well that was pressing question answered. Sarah Palin is far and away more attractive then Gina Gershon. The alcohol and cocaine abuse has really aged Gershon.
Jdripper on September 11, 2008 at 3:50 PM
Yawn.
D0WNT0WN on September 11, 2008 at 3:50 PM
C’mon, it was chuckle worthy at a few moments!
Besides, Gina is still pretty damn hawt IMO. So is Sara of course! Oh, McCain is old. Obama is awesome and Biden is…. well, he’s Biden.
Yakko77 on September 11, 2008 at 3:50 PM
Fact Check: Obama went to two colleges for his degree. He transferred to Columbia from Occidental.
El_Terrible on September 11, 2008 at 3:51 PM
Gina, this is known as the “butt” of the rifle. It goes right against your nose, like this. There, that’s it. Now pull the trigger.
Akzed on September 11, 2008 at 3:51 PM
While I never remember a time when Gina Gershon could act, I can remember a time when she was hot.
Do like that end line though: “If she shoots you in the face, it’s because she was aiming for it.”
Call me crazy, but that’s the type of woman I want sitting across the table from Hackmydinnerjacket and Tsar Vladmir…with John Bolton backing her up with “The Stare”.
Can you imagine that? Both of them simultaneously adjusting their glasses and clearing their throats?
“Ahkmed! The Leader needs fresh pants! NOW! And bring a mop!”
SuperCool on September 11, 2008 at 3:51 PM
I love the P.S. thing.
TheSitRep on September 11, 2008 at 3:52 PM
That was her? She’s pretty good in that, but its probably more credit to the writers than her.
El_Terrible on September 11, 2008 at 3:53 PM
Somebody thought that was funny?
Why?
The only mild snort came in response to the catch-line at the end, “If she shoots you in the face, it means she was aiming for it.”
philwynk on September 11, 2008 at 3:53 PM
Petards in action.
kirkill on September 11, 2008 at 3:53 PM
Also, the line at the end, “If she shoot you in the face, it’s because he was aiming for it” was pretty funny.
Yakko77 on September 11, 2008 at 3:54 PM
Call me bad, but I think that line has potential somewhere down the line.
el hombre on September 11, 2008 at 3:54 PM
Wow. I say she didn’t even try. Not even witty.
geckomon on September 11, 2008 at 3:54 PM
Will Ferrel ? one trick pony.. I don’t get it.
redrock on September 11, 2008 at 3:54 PM
Now, that was funny.
philwynk on September 11, 2008 at 3:54 PM
You have to admit, it has a great closing quote:
“Sarah Palin- if she shoots you in the face, its because she was aiming for it.”
lionheart on September 11, 2008 at 3:54 PM
Now, THAT was funny!!!!
LOL!!!!
Yakko77 on September 11, 2008 at 3:55 PM
She’s been romantically linked with Bill Clinton and never graduated from college. Any other questions?
uncalheels on September 11, 2008 at 3:55 PM
This is par for the course on Funny or Die, though. They’re all tedious.
amkun on September 11, 2008 at 3:56 PM
Allah,
Yes, I have a bunch of vicadin. But, I aint selling it, unless you are willing to pay heavy.
I also have a bunch of xannax.
I aint never sold nor shared but there is always a first.
Roger Waters on September 11, 2008 at 3:56 PM
Gina who?
Oh. That one chick who gets bit parts playing sluts and drug addicts once in awhile? I vaguely remember her.
FlatFoot on September 11, 2008 at 3:56 PM
I give it a:
1 for funny
3 for originality
7 for semi-nudity
9 for semi-nudity with a weapon
I’ll be in the bathroom for a couple of minutes…….
FiveWays on September 11, 2008 at 3:56 PM
Ace is funny. That, not so much.
John on September 11, 2008 at 3:57 PM
Who?
scrubbiedude on September 11, 2008 at 3:57 PM
Gina Gershon has to go through life knowing that, UNlike Palin, she’s devoid of substance unless someone writes it down for her. She’s the very image of Garbage’s song “Stupid Girl”.
Spanglemaker on September 11, 2008 at 3:57 PM
I was hoping for something funny, this was not. She looked as cute as Sarah at least.
FireBlogger on September 11, 2008 at 3:58 PM
Pretty much what she does in all her roles….
Act naturally…..
BigWyo on September 11, 2008 at 3:58 PM
Okay, that was funnier than the video.
AubieJon on September 11, 2008 at 3:59 PM
Ugghh! Puh-leeze! Gershon could never hold a candle to Palin, in terms of intelligence, personality AND beauty. I have always thought Gershon looked ridiculous with those fake, flappin’ lips of hers. Uggggg-leeeee!
ErinF on September 11, 2008 at 3:59 PM
Well .. yeah; but, I’d sure as heck turn the sound off, in that case.
yo on September 11, 2008 at 4:02 PM
Jimmie Kimmel’s bio parody was about a zillion times funnier than this.
thirteen28 on September 11, 2008 at 4:02 PM
I used to be in love with Gina Gershon. Great lips, great jugs, great everything. Now she’s a leftist tool.
Cross another one off.
RWLA on September 11, 2008 at 4:03 PM
Bet Billy boy would give her the cigar treatment.
Rick007 on September 11, 2008 at 4:04 PM
I’ve never heard of this woman.
D2Boston on September 11, 2008 at 4:04 PM
I wonder how many abortions this woman has chalked up?
carbon_footprint on September 11, 2008 at 4:04 PM
Palin remains a joke.
Politics isn’t a sports team, people. You can admit when your “side” is wrong.
Xolom on September 11, 2008 at 4:05 PM
Agreed.
Typhoon on September 11, 2008 at 4:05 PM
This is no more a leftist jab at Palin than what you would normally see on SNL concerning any candidate. Too bad it’s not clever. At all. That video by Lisa Nova was much funnier.
furytrader on September 11, 2008 at 4:06 PM
I think she is another one of those women, that Bill Clinton has not had sex with.
bloggless on September 11, 2008 at 4:06 PM
Too awful, could not make it through.
Maxx on September 11, 2008 at 4:06 PM
i think sll the people at that website are dead, because that was not even close to being funny
custer on September 11, 2008 at 4:08 PM
Yeah- we’re laughing all the way to the polls…..
FiveWays on September 11, 2008 at 4:08 PM
Completely lame. I didn’t even crack a smile.
Torch on September 11, 2008 at 4:09 PM
So, that WAS supposed to be funny, right?
I must be getting old then. Potheads in a stupor come up with funnier things to say.
freedom_nut on September 11, 2008 at 4:09 PM
This is a new one. Apparently they chose “Die”.
amerpundit on September 11, 2008 at 4:11 PM
WOW, just WOW. That was truly terrible. Bring back the toddler as a drunk landlady already.
Who was that woman and what was the last HS play she did?
jukin on September 11, 2008 at 4:11 PM
She was smokin’ hawt with Jennifer Tilly in Bound but being associated with Slick is a major buzzkill and means she probably smells bad.
Captain Hate on September 11, 2008 at 4:12 PM
I couldn’t stop laughing my ass off as Independents and white women flocked to McCain, giving him a 4-5 point lead. For some reason, I’m not seeing lefty strategists laughing, though.
amerpundit on September 11, 2008 at 4:13 PM
Yeah, those are real.
Anyone think that “Green Team” sketch was funny?
budorob on September 11, 2008 at 4:14 PM
I can safely say I’ve never heard of Gina Gershon until this moment and, with luck, will never have to hear about her again.
jeanie on September 11, 2008 at 4:14 PM
this is the first I’ve heard of Gina since she dyked it up with Jennifer Tily in ‘Bound’..
someone was hungry for an acting job..
DaveC on September 11, 2008 at 4:16 PM
fixed…
CC
CapedConservative on September 11, 2008 at 4:17 PM
Mostly lame. But I do like the tagline: “Sarah Palin. If she shoots you in the face, it’s because she was aiming for it.”
Well-Armed Lamb on September 11, 2008 at 4:18 PM
Fact check. Obama went to 2 colleges — Occidental, and Columbia, not 1. Palin didn’t ban any books. The video is vacuous and pointless. Also, Gina Gershon is hot.
Paul-Cincy on September 11, 2008 at 4:19 PM
Funny or die. So, this means Gershon has to die now? Seems a little harsh, but it’s their rules.
hepcat on September 11, 2008 at 4:22 PM
Don’t I beg of you Don’t fellow Hot Airers do not click on the Headline News, Dude…do not I am warning you. I did and I am quite disturbed.
Allah be cursed for placing such a thing…you should be banned, banned I tell you, banned for life…damn you…
right2bright on September 11, 2008 at 4:22 PM
Lame. Real lame.
petefrt on September 11, 2008 at 4:23 PM
Ummm, lets compare undergraduate GPA’s…I don’t think he will.
right2bright on September 11, 2008 at 4:23 PM
It is almost official: When I see “Allahpundit” at the head of one of these stories, I’m probably ignoring the commentary.
Perhaps: “Do you ever read Hotair, and if so, do you agree ‘Allahpundit’ needs to kill the useless and largely baseless pessimism?”
Tommygun on September 11, 2008 at 4:27 PM
I heard Sarah is gonna shoot Charlie Gibson and mount his head on a plaque. Sorta like a “how-to” infotainment ad.
Coronagold on September 11, 2008 at 4:27 PM
Woof….HUMILIATING FAIL
LimeyGeek on September 11, 2008 at 4:30 PM
So Gina Gershwin likes to attack the efforts of struggling working mother to attend college, raise children, and work on a career. How Limousine Elitist of her to compare to a man who supported by Political benefactors. Who never achieved anything on his own of any merit. Stay Classy Hollywood. Palin is in your head and inside your decision circle.
Egfrow on September 11, 2008 at 4:30 PM
I’m a smart, strong and conservative female- and an RN. but hell, I went to 3 colleges and it took me 10 years to graduate. I’m a damn good nurse- what difference does it make if she went to more than one school? We don’t all know what we want to do for the “rest of our lives.” Just one more example of how Sarah connects with the people.
kareyk on September 11, 2008 at 4:30 PM
Anything Will Ferrell touches is total crap.
The bikini was ok though.
Tony737 on September 11, 2008 at 4:31 PM
It’s pretty clear from this and his HuffPo piece that Adam McKay has completely lost his sh*t over Palin.
WasatchMan on September 11, 2008 at 4:31 PM
There was supposed to be some funny in that video? Really?
wise_man on September 11, 2008 at 4:32 PM
Even with the volume off, it still sucked.
