So both my writing high school teacher (in Brazil high school portuguese classes are divided in: writing for learning how to do different types of writing mostly essays because of the ENEM, portuguese itself witch is grammar and reading comprehension and literature witch is the history of brazilian literature and book analisys) and my history high school teacher probably made a mistake by introducing me to political news comedy. Their intencion was to help me with my adquiring more diverse theoric basis for essays since this programs actually have statistcs and news and other valid data in the mist of the humor with something that I would enjoy but I got hooked. Started with only brazilian ones but Brazil doesn't have that much of parody political news comedy (at least not left wing ones) so I went into american ones and now it's a problem. I finished ALL of Patriot Act in four days. It has SIX seasons. I need professional help.
I find this jackass Jesse Watters even harder to look at than Tucker Carlson. His smirk may not be quite as asinine as Tucker’s, but I find it somehow even more annoying and he strikes me as even more performative than Tucker, if that’s possible. TrumpTrial
When a drunk and urine-soaked Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., went live on TikTok this past Saturday night, viewers rightfully assumed she was going to rant about Jewish Martians stealing elections with their hypno-rays, or that Joe Biden is a holographic projection.
But rather than yet another incoherent string of crackpot conspiracy theories, something else entirely happened.
"I can't do this anymore," she said, tears in her eyes. "I want my life back."
She then removed her blonde wig to reveal a chic pixie cut.
"My real name is Tweety McDaniels, and I am an actress."
Over the course of three hours, McDaniels spoke at length about her early career as a struggling young actress in 1990s Hollywood, featuring in ads for discount hemorrhoid cream and starring in schlocky direct-to-video horror films, such as "Homeschool Massacre 2" and "Murder Hamsters Go to College."
But it was around the two-hour mark when she revealed the origins of the deranged, conspiracy-fueled persona of Marjorie Taylor Greene.
"It started as a bit for a sketch comedy show we were doing at a laundromat in Burbank," she said. "A tape of the show somehow got into the hands of someone at the Georgia Republican Party, they thought it was real, and the rest is history."
When one viewer asked McDaniels if she regretted her role in hastening the downfall of American society, McDaniels only nodded.
"I never thought it'd go this far, or for this long," she said. "But between all the drinking and drugs and daily threats of violence and death by various Russian-controlled assets in the GOP, Tweety McDaniels faded away until nothing was left."
Ralph Barton, Next to Reading, Puck, 26 December 1914.
Puck was the first successful humor magazine in the United States of colorful cartoons, caricatures and political satire of the issues of the day. It was founded in 1876 as a German-language publication by Joseph Keppler, an Austrian immigrant cartoonist. Puck's first English-language edition was published in 1877, covering issues like New York City's Tammany Hall, presidential politics, and social issues of the late 19th century to the early 20th century.
"Puckish" means "childishly mischievous". This led Shakespeare's Puck character (from A Midsummer Night's Dream) to be recast as a charming near-naked boy and used as the title of the magazine. Puck was the first magazine to carry illustrated advertising and the first to successfully adopt full-color lithography printing for a weekly publication.
A little golden moment from Not the Nine O'Clock News (BBC 1979-1982).
The Soviet nuclear missiles have been launched, with Armageddon just minutes away, but according to the panellists on Question Time, this is the least of Britain's problems.
"…We’re sitting here talking about a nuclear holocaust, casually discussing the destruction of the entire planet, and ignoring the major issue, which is the appalling record of this Conservative Government…"
Joe Biden Raps Entirety of MC Hammer’s Hit Single ‘2 Legit 2 Quit’ in Attempt to Attract Gen Z Voters Amidst Election Season
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Showing the world his sweet skills as an emcee, today President Joe Biden would impress the radical youth by rapping the entirety of MC Hammer’s 1991 hit single “2 Legit 2 Quit” during a youth conference in an attempt to attract Gen Z to vote amidst election season.
“Trump is so self obsessed and egotistical that he thinks he thinks he’s going to win this election in large numbers.” Biden exclaimed. “But both he and I know that the conservatives are far from hip enough to appeal to the radical youth, and have been like that for years. I, on the other hand, am totally with it, which is why the youth voted for me in large numbers in 2020, and will do so again in 2024. Case in point, HAMMER TIME!!!! Sweat, runnin’ all over my chest! I don’t quit, no, I just press! Harder, than I ever did before! Going for the dreams that I have in store!”
Biden then proceeded to rap the entirety of the hit MC Hammer single off his 1991 album of the same name, before breaking off into a breakdance, like what the kids are into these days. Biden’s moves were met with rounds of applause, meaning that Biden is sure to secure the Gen Z vote.
