Comedy gold: The worst day evah
posted at 2:00 pm on November 21, 2008 by Allahpundit
To cleanse the palate. I’ve watched it three times and still can’t decide if it’s real or not. If it’s fake, it’s superbly well acted — er, except for the girl in the orange shirt. If it’s real, why’s it hitting the ‘Net six months after the finale?
Exit admission: Exactly what election night was like at my house. Minus the David Archuleta shirt, natch.

Sad to say, I’m afraid it’s real.
Especially like the girl who sinks to the floor.
Of course, I’m thinking these drama queens act like this a lot. (laugh)

Future dem voters. Except they seem a little more mature then most.

First:
That is what every girl that age should be doing, just hanging out and worrying about nothing important…but the world to them.
Second:
What do you want to bet that everyone of those girls are at the top of their class.
right2bright on November 21, 2008 at 2:06 PM
Me thinks the girl in the orange shirt was only pretending to care. Peer pressure.
I’ll admit to feeling something like that when I clicked over to foxnews.com on 11/5 and saw Obama’s grinning mug.

OMG, like was I like ever a 12 year old girl like?
Yes, back in the blissfully naive 80s. Anyone remember the Fall Guy? I would’ve died for Howie—oh, and Bo Duke too.

That was a Republican household when Governor
Sarah Palin lost!
Its the future of young Republican girls(women),
that SarahCuda has inspired along the campaign
trail!
I can undertstand their emotion,it was tough to
hear the outcome!

At this point, why not just adopt an AI format for all of our national elections?

Auditions are now open for Blair Witch VI: The Screaming.
whitetop on November 21, 2008 at 2:09 PM
Yep. I think 2 of the girls were only there because of peer pressure. The others were fully in the tank for the dude who lost.
lorien1973 on November 21, 2008 at 2:09 PM
Oh Yeah,..it’s real. As a mother with Daughters. It’s all about the drama. WAY!

THANK GOD WE’RE HAVING A BOY

That cracked me up too! Got me in the groove to watch all those wrists hit foreheads.
- I did not cry on Election night, mine is more like that kid in the red – sat there dumbfounded….
kybowexar on November 21, 2008 at 2:10 PM
Thank Heaven, for little girls….
I kinda acted like that on November 4th

Metaphorically?
These girls are distraught over their favorite not winning American Idol.

Easy to make fun of the little girls, however I’m not sure I would want to have a video posted of PackerBronco’s house after Brett Favre threw his last boneheaded interception in the Packer/Giant championship game last January.
PackerBronco on November 21, 2008 at 2:12 PM
I’m guessing that mom and dad filmed this for future reference and blackmail.
Later (much later) they can all laugh at the shared memory.
When one of them comes to Mom and talks about her own drama queen daughter, Mom will pop this little ditty into the player….
Good times! (laugh)
kybowexar on November 21, 2008 at 2:14 PM
Did the girl in orange look like she was trying to hide a smile to you?
Count to 10 on November 21, 2008 at 2:14 PM
That was me when the Red Sox lost the playoffs.
Embarrassing.

BEST BIRTH CONTROL EVAH!
Thank heaven my husband and I chose not to have kids.
However, have to admit, election night was about the same at my house too-minus the David Whoever shirt and the addition of a bottle of Jaegar.
HornetSting on November 21, 2008 at 2:15 PM
It’s for real. Hysterical in more ways than one.
Putting on my Miss Marple hat, here’s a clue as to why it’s real:)
I have the exact same green/white/red striped pillow that’s on the floor. It’s not new and probably dates back to the Idol finale or earlier.
Buy Danish on November 21, 2008 at 2:15 PM
Beat me to it.

That’s the way I was when the Longhorns lost to Texas Tech.
Matticus Finch on November 21, 2008 at 2:16 PM
First, I raised a daughter, and these are the signs of a healthy teenager. Expressive, fun, friends, supportive moms, hanging out, not “over dressed”, dressed like a girl that age would dress. I would bet more mature then you think. And maturity being measured by acting their age. Maturity to me was not a 13 year old acting 18, it is a 13 year old with manners, acting like a 13 year old.
They are expressive, upbeat, fun, they know they are over reacting. Their moms came in a comforted them, not whine or criticize.
Mix this in and you have a healthy child, that is expressive with a loving mom.
Do I know for sure? No, but I would bet you any amount of money that these kids are great respectful students.
Nothing scientific, just observation of hundreds of kids.
right2bright on November 21, 2008 at 2:16 PM
I kinda acted like that on Nov.4TH
Kini on Nov 21,2008 at 2:10PM.
Kini: I feel your pain,only I yelled at the TV,
because at around 8 or 9PM,it was way to early,
for an outcome!
And I still think,sumpin ain’t right with the
election results!:)
canopfor on November 21, 2008 at 2:16 PM
The girl at the far right did too.
lorien1973 on November 21, 2008 at 2:17 PM
If you change the name to “Algore” and the date to 2000, I think it is a valid reenactment of his household, except there were more tears and denials in 2000.

Nah, I see AllahP rocking the High School Musical 3 t-shirt.

Could have sworn that was a future broadcast of Code Pink when they realize Hopey McChange doesn’t end the war and keeps GITMO open.

I have two daughters.
They’re both under the age of three and I’m already impressed with their capacity for drama.

Thank Obama, the most generous, that I had boys.

I agreed with this but now that I think of it, instead of being overly upset at American Idol results it will probably be college football.
Lay-Z on November 21, 2008 at 2:21 PM
The future of America right there. And they look like they are all pre-menopausal. Imagine what they will be like in a couple years. (shudders)
BoomJunkie on November 21, 2008 at 2:21 PM
B..B..But haven’t the little princesses been told all their lives that they should have exactly what they want? It’s their right! They should stage a Code Pink and demand justice! Maybe a 9th Circuit judge could help out. Impeach David Cook!
RightTurnOnly on November 21, 2008 at 2:21 PM
Trust me, this is real. This is eleven year-old girl behavior at its sterling pinnacle. And that’s why this gets funnier and funnier.
katmiller on November 21, 2008 at 2:22 PM
I am so glad I’m still a couple of years away from kids. I’m getting so much advance warning.
MadisonConservative on November 21, 2008 at 2:22 PM
You say that, but girls are great. I have one of each (no just two). Both so different, and both just as much fun. The most fun is with their friends, man I miss those days. They had no worry (except who was not talking to whom), and my son was worried about making the team…and that is what kids should worry about.
But I would never give up the high school father daughter dances (or the night of her wedding)…nothing will replace that. I know the last moment of my life, I will be thought of me “dancing” with my daughter.

On the other hand, a good introduction to the bitterness of defeat for these girls.

I imagine that this is how many Obama voters would have reacted if he had lost.
ksm on November 21, 2008 at 2:25 PM
American Idol is my guilty pleasure, and I must say I was the complete opposite of these chicks. The right guy, David Cook won the show and not David Archuleta the boy with too much melisma in the singing.
The reaction is hilarious! Something funny for Idol fans.
jencab on November 21, 2008 at 2:26 PM
AP,
What I want to know is why it is post – not only a few months later – but by a French poster on YouTube.
And you are right – this truly comedy gold. Up there with the little boy who kept following his mom (from room to room) and collapsing in tears on AFV! (laugh)

Wow….we have just seen the inside of a Civilian National Security Force barracks.

Count to 10: Yes,I know the video was about the Idol show.
I’m just having a bit of fun,but I’m sure on
election night their were a lot of young
women who were very disappointed at Sarah’s
loss,my 17 year old daughter actually thought
SarahCuda should have one!:)
canopfor on November 21, 2008 at 2:26 PM
My daughter is only seven and I get mad when she acts like that. (I swear she’s going to be an opera singer when she grows up. Everything’s a TRAGEDY!)
If my daughter ever reacted like that to A FREAKING TV SHOW,
CurtZHP on November 21, 2008 at 2:27 PM
(somehow, my laptop thought I hit ENTER….)
I’d lob the damn TV out the window.

Well, yes, but so do the mothers.
Did you perhaps mean a different word?

Tween girls are drama queens and hearing them makes my uterus pucker. ;(
HornetSting on November 21, 2008 at 2:28 PM
No joke. My brother, who’s mostly your typical guy, is in love with his car, which is very nice (it’s a 1970 Dodge Dart Swinger, and that’s all I understand about it). It has no power steering, and he got it when he was just 16 for a decent price, so one day he hit the house. My mom and I were inside and were a little freaked only to come out and see my brother on the ground crying in the direction of the tiny dent on his car while completely ignoring the hole he just put in the house.
That incident will always remind me that men can be just as much a drama queen as women though they generally hide it better.
Esthier on November 21, 2008 at 2:29 PM
Only about 10 more years…good luck. The worst is the dating part…really tough on the dad (that’s my girl your holding hands with).

I don’t want to come down too hard on a pack of overly emotional little girls, but we really do need to breed sturdier generations if the United States is going to survive.

I’m sure you meant pre-pubescent, and actually, this is about as bad as girls get. We calm with age. I promise.
Esthier on November 21, 2008 at 2:32 PM
You would wake up laughing the next day. Because the next day, Sarah didn’t talk to her, and it would be David who?
right2bright on November 21, 2008 at 2:32 PM
Esthier on November 21, 2008 at 2:29 PM
Shhh – we also don’t write about it!
Of course, I’ve never cried over something so silly. I just merely scream like a banshee when I see a spider. Much to my wife’s amusement.
Otherwise, I’m the big, strong man she tells me I am.
kybowexar on November 21, 2008 at 2:33 PM

O Sublime, how sad I am for you.
For this is truth.
Sarah Palin could never have made it to the Whitehouse without being carried as the unvetted VP of another candidate.
Now her path to the oval office has been rerouted through a vast and trackless forest of massive media scrutiny and scrupulous, merciless criticism in the eye of the electorate, in which, sadly, her otakubase is evershrinking.
Poor Cinderella.
She will never make it to the ball on time now.

Plus I have a 20yo, 2 teenagers, and 1 tween.
They’re ALL like this.
Badger40 on November 21, 2008 at 2:34 PM
I’d be laughing because the TV would be a smoldering pile on the curb, Sarah would be in tears, and David would be decomposing under my back yard.

Unfortunately it takes about 30 more years.
tru2tx on November 21, 2008 at 2:41 PM
Trolls should be ignored.
That’s sweet. For my husband, it’s me that gets him emotional. In nine years I’ve only seen him cry three times, once, at our wedding in front of everyone, making me look like an ice queen for keeping my eyes dry.
Maybe so for most, but for me I really did become less bothered by things. By the time I was a teen, I started looking inward in reaction to a hurt and would have been humiliated to be seen as one of those girls.
Esthier on November 21, 2008 at 2:43 PM
And my squirelly daughter is the general counsel for a fortune 50 businessman. She manages, at 30 years old, all of his business dealings. Solid as a rock, but still squirelly around the family. And a cut up in the board room, when necessary.
And we always had her just be her age, be a little weird, follow her bands, and not worry about school, but worry about being respectful.
right2bright on November 21, 2008 at 2:44 PM
Wait, Allah, you and your friends are a bunch of 8 year old girls.

Isn’t it funny how people are often completely different with their family than they are with the rest of the world?
That’s the one place people tend to know you almost too well.
Esthier on November 21, 2008 at 2:45 PM
I don’t think any one, let alone a girl, doesn’t look back and say “what a nerd”. But that is what builds character, to see the path you take.
What I meant, is that “girl” is still inside of you, the fun part, and when you have kids,it pops out time to time, and the bonding is unbelievable.

kybowexar on November 21, 2008 at 2:51 PM
My older two daughters routinely make random videos of themselves acting out stuff or just being silly. So its probably a real video in that it wasn’t setup and staged, but fake in that they were probably hamming it up because they were recording themselves.
Fake, but accurate!
Neo on November 21, 2008 at 2:51 PM
I keep hearing that it all changes when you have kids of your own. As it is I’m generally uncomfortable around other people’s babies. They’re so… breakable.

I don’t know if it’s b/c I’m so close with my dad or b/c he’s far away and I cannot WAIT to see him next week or both, but that made me tear up…
As for the video, that was hilariously awesome and DEFINITELY real!!
