I hope to Xenu that the laugh track is canned. Or better yet, that the whole thing is a poorly executed hoax...

Wow, that was truly awful. Is this someone's college (or high school) media project? If not, there really is no excuse.

"Oh my God people, democrats are total fags! Am I right people? I mean, c'mon, fat people and black people, I mean, what gives?"

Not verbatim, but close enough.

Those were supposed to be funny? Making a Ricky Martin is gay joke is grade a hilarity

And why does every "funny" (heavy emphasis on the quotation marks) right-wing joker have to get in a Clinton joke or two? That was a full presidential term and change ago, its time to come up with something new.

Nick @5, they have so little to laugh about that they have to cling to whatever they have. I think every single one of those jokes was in a 2 minute clip of the 1/2 Hour News Hour, and I'm sure I'd heard each and every one of them even before that. If they can't make fun of Hollywood, minorities, Michael Moore's weight, or the Clinton's marriage, what is left to them?

Did anyone else get a boner thinking of Jenna Jameson and Hillary getting it on? Me neither.

Why is right wing humor so NOT funny? Hell, it is poorly written and the guy in this bit looks stoned. But then being stoned is probably the only way he could do it.

@8, Conservatives are famously Irony Deficient!

Right-wing humor is not funny because humor has to be true, and to reveal rather than reinforce unfair power dynamics. When the villain laughs, it's just mean.
