Video: The stupid yet obligatory “high-five inauguration” clip
posted at 4:30 pm on January 22, 2009 by Allahpundit
From Funny or Die, another entry on the “die” side of the ledger. Why post it, then? You’ll see. Here’s a foolproof way to tell if you’re a beta male who spends too much time reading political news: If, after watching this, you find yourself thinking, “Hey, wasn’t that Steny Hoyer?”
Watch for the cameo from your least favorite woman pundit. No, not Kathleen Parker. The other one.
HIGH-FIVE INAUGURATION! – watch more funny videos

upinak on January 22, 2009 at 4:33 PM
DIAF!
Notorious GOP on January 22, 2009 at 4:36 PM
Which of Murtha’s pork beneficiary was raided?
BJ on January 22, 2009 at 4:36 PM
lost interest about 50 seconds in.
lorien1973 on January 22, 2009 at 4:38 PM
So, I mean, if this is unity…and coming alongside our new prez..I’m in. But, in real life, c’mon…
It made me smile a little bit.
Mommypundit on January 22, 2009 at 4:39 PM
Aren’t high fives supposed to be….well, high? Those are more like hand slaps.
Funny or Die needs a bailout@!!
badpenguin on January 22, 2009 at 4:39 PM
15 seconds ..
redrock on January 22, 2009 at 4:40 PM
( I am now duly ashamed about liking that video…scold me…someone, anyone…)
Mommypundit on January 22, 2009 at 4:40 PM
most obscure cameo:
THAT’S SO RAVEN/COSBY SHOW’s Raven Simone
????????????????????
battleoflepanto1571 on January 22, 2009 at 4:40 PM
A GREAT 3 minute video…. Too bad it was longer than that.

BJ on January 22, 2009 at 4:42 PM
More dying with Sarah Silverman.
Can’t we find even one funny clip from all these loons?!
Shy Guy on January 22, 2009 at 4:43 PM
Also, aren’t high fives supposed to be replaced with fist bumps?
Shy Guy on January 22, 2009 at 4:44 PM
Go, Peggy, I suppose.
Esthier on January 22, 2009 at 4:44 PM
Fixed.
MrScribbler on January 22, 2009 at 4:47 PM
Yeah… it was way too long.
Esthier on January 22, 2009 at 4:48 PM
I’ll take die.
MadisonConservative on January 22, 2009 at 4:49 PM
That was pretty funny. It shouldn’t have been, but it was.
I need help.
Enrique on January 22, 2009 at 4:51 PM
Mmmm…Common!
baldilocks on January 22, 2009 at 4:51 PM
Was this produced by the Saturday Night Live wroters?
Dukehoopsfan on January 22, 2009 at 4:52 PM
Arghh! writers
Dukehoopsfan on January 22, 2009 at 4:53 PM
Wow. My trips inside the beltway are never that cool.
nosliwelyk on January 22, 2009 at 4:55 PM
Wow. So not funny.
Attila (Pillage Idiot) on January 22, 2009 at 4:57 PM
We could only hope.
And on a humorous note, did you see the latest calamity to befall the Obama administration? They cant Twitter! Oh the humanity!!!
wise_man on January 22, 2009 at 4:59 PM
I thought it was funny…but it began to drag about 3/4 of the way through. But still pretty good..and Gingrich was a good sport about it.
Blaise on January 22, 2009 at 5:00 PM
I didn’t see Andrew Sullivan.
Lehosh on January 22, 2009 at 5:04 PM
Part of me has died while watching that.
LimeyGeek on January 22, 2009 at 5:04 PM
I will never join the black movement, frankly, it makes me want to have a bowel movement. There should be no Black movement, or a white movement, or female movement, it’s suppose to be an American movement. I will never..EVER (In my best “Bob Toricelli” voice- slapping my podium)…partake in the black horseshit. I’d rather go to my death bed with my dignity. My only wish is that I might “Die among Men”-Herbert George Wells (H.G. Wells, The Time Machine. The original, not that new crap. I suggest everyone MUST watch this, my all time favorite movie, and take a look into the very VERY near future. Not talking about the monsters…… but the PEOPLE!…wow)
eplain on January 22, 2009 at 5:04 PM
Cool in it’s randomness.
creatocon on January 22, 2009 at 5:05 PM
Say that three times fast
LimeyGeek on January 22, 2009 at 5:06 PM
I’d rather tattoo it on my butt and walk around naked….wait…that would in actuality, somehow be JOINING the black movement…No?
eplain on January 22, 2009 at 5:11 PM
I’m sure you do hope I die.
MadisonConservative on January 22, 2009 at 5:11 PM
Good video. nothing snarky in it.
Peggy Noonan can suck an egg though. Bitch.
portlandon on January 22, 2009 at 5:20 PM
The original two high five clips were brilliant. This is boring. They should have stuck with the original music from the other clip.
Vincenzo on January 22, 2009 at 5:22 PM
Not bad.
/easily amused
Abby Adams on January 22, 2009 at 5:27 PM
Funny or Die?

TheSitRep on January 22, 2009 at 5:36 PM

In Et tu, Newtay?
CynicalOptimist on January 22, 2009 at 5:38 PM
I thought it was funny
harry on January 22, 2009 at 5:41 PM
Regardless of your political stance, Pat Buchanan kinda kicks ass.
Vernon Hardapple on January 22, 2009 at 5:42 PM
Um……yeah.
Uh, huh.
Yeah….
The Ugly American on January 22, 2009 at 5:56 PM
Every time i see Larry King, he looks more and more like Gary Oldman in Dracula.
clearbluesky on January 22, 2009 at 6:04 PM
I have some black movement for you. Here, diagonally.
The Race Card on January 22, 2009 at 6:41 PM
All these politicians are dying to be funny. This is about to get ridciculous.
I blame Ali G.
The Race Card on January 22, 2009 at 6:42 PM
Larry KingThe Reaper made an appearance.p.s. did anyone see Howard Dean at the inauguration?
Entelechy on January 22, 2009 at 7:00 PM
For a sequel to this video they can have Al-Qaeda,Ahmadinijead,Kim Jong-il, Hamas, Hezbollah, Putin etc. all high fiving themselves.
gumble on January 22, 2009 at 7:41 PM
That was a waste of time
KBird on January 22, 2009 at 8:00 PM
Tucker Carlson?
I actually thought it was kinda funny.
SouthernDem on January 22, 2009 at 8:31 PM

soundingboard on January 22, 2009 at 9:18 PM
I liked it and for some reason found myself laughing.

P.S.
That aspect helps too.
MirCat on January 22, 2009 at 9:46 PM
One thing that was glaringly missing.
The Todd.

MirCat on January 22, 2009 at 9:53 PM
Confess it, haters: Peggy Noonan is still a hottie.
Tzetzes on January 22, 2009 at 10:02 PM
Now THAT would have been funny…..But alas, epic fail….
Ozprey on January 22, 2009 at 10:28 PM

Mark30339 on January 22, 2009 at 10:52 PM

jcheney on January 23, 2009 at 1:37 AM
BTW, from the site:
MirCat on January 23, 2009 at 6:35 AM
Peggy Noonan, you go girl! Now keep going. No, don’t turn around, just keep walking.
Nice knowing you way back when.
pugwriter on January 23, 2009 at 7:48 AM
Guy with mustache looks like Allen Covert
ToddonCapeCod on January 23, 2009 at 9:46 AM
You spared yourself the truly gross high-five occuring around 1:15.
