Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Thursday, March 04, 2010

Jim Carrey and six comedians who played presidents on Saturday Night Live have gathered for a comedic summit in a new FunnyOrDie.com video directed by Ron Howard. The video promotes the Main Street Brigade, an effort to urge passage of the Consumer Financial Protection act organized by Americans for Financial Reform.

Child molester.

Holy shit. This was amazing. Kudos to any and all involved.

"Yeah fuck opie! How dare he attack the financial elites that bought all our politicians! They paid for them, they EARNED the right to run our country!"

It was pretty funny.

Even Michelle was laughing at him in the end.

okay boys ..this was funny in a lot of places and it was good because it made fun of ALL Of them..not just the bushs or RR...
of course the message is a bullshit liberal move but if you get by that..
I mean..why didnt someone ask barry about the groups that give him millions but who arent treated the same as others..
MAYBE that will be in the one they make for the NEW president in 2012....

The funniest part was Bush staring at the camera. lol!

LMAO-The Gopper presidents just remind everybody why they voted for Obama.

Carrie was a great Reagan, I couldn't picture it until he walked in; priceless...

Let's talk about the Consumer Financial Protection Act. So, the govt makes banks give bad loans, then blames the banks for giving bad loans. Now, they want to nationalize the banks and have an even larger footprint in the private sector. And, they want to take over healthcare. How is this not Marsixm?

Socialism > Marxism > Neo-Marxism > New-Left > Socialism

What's old is new again

Carrey's Reagan scared the crap out of me. But Reagan did too, so I guess that's a good impression.

It's a 'bullshit liberal move" to try to get the gov to oversee the banks, instead of vice versa as we currently have it?
Your logic suggests that the conservative position is to have the banks continue as they are, with the ability to destroy the economy when they fuck up. Is that what you are saying?

This video is awesome because its calling obama out, daring him to be brave and do the right thing. he's been a slave to these bankers so far. you right wingers should love him.

FTA: The video, posted Wednesday, stars Fred Armisen as President Barack Obama. During the night he is visited by the ghosts of presidents past, who urge him to push for financial reform.

Will Ferrell reprises his President George W. Bush, Darrell Hammond plays President Bill Clinton, Dana Carvey returns as President George H.W. Bush, Dan Aykroyd plays President Jimmy Carter and Chevy Chase returns as President Gerald Ford. Jim Carrey, the lone comedian not a veteran of "SNL," appears as Ronald Reagan.

More, more! Damn, that was great seeing all those guys together. Will Ferrell tackily polishing his shoe with a pillow, LOL. The "making of" clip was pretty funny too.

Most poignant line;

'Tag, you're it'.

Kinda 'splains everything.

Only Alka(pyshco)babble would correlate Liberalism with an attempt to regulate an industry that has acquired the power to bring down our economy and our country.

Surely, his crazy friends down at the vfw (not the nice vfw on the highway, but the other one over by the trailer park) will tell him that national security is very important.

CORKY posted this hilarious video on Reagan last week:

Zombie Reagan Raised From Grave To Lead GOP

I guess if the only options were funny or die, then its death. Carvey, Hammond and Ferrel are usually hysterical and even this new guy doing Obama has been funny when I've caught SNL at times. Then ending was just douchechill inspiring with the awful nicotine joke... Awful.

Very funny

Ron Howard, stay out of politics.

Really? I don't know, maybe its me. I just didn't laugh once at any of it. And I typically can't stop laughing at Will Ferrel's Bush impression. Those debates he did with Hammond as Gore are still saved on a hard drive around here somewhere.

"So, the govt makes banks give bad loans..."

What a pile of shit. Banks have been able to give bad loans for decades, an no government regulation required 125% LTVs, liars loans, interest-only loans, reset loans, or negative amortization loans. To top that off, a lot of banks saw the subprime mess from a mile away and avoided it like the plague. This was all about greed and market share.

hilarious!

Reagan was Jim-Scarey!

Spooky! Just like he was in real life!

Clinton was perfect..."People did all kinds......of crazy things!"

too bad Wobby has no sense of humor...even Bl2 liked it.

I like the fact that it called Obama out too.

Not sure where you go this from Dan..."So, the govt makes banks give bad loans..." maybe you had your own dream.

Post #9.

Danforth's doing his usual lurking, but his timing is all screwed up.

I laugh at everything. Nothing is out of bounds. I'm sorry I just didn't find this funny. I found myself smirking at Ferrel acting like the lamp was a light saber. He was always hysterical as Bush on SNL. I don't know, maybe this just had too much of a serious tone. Its not for any political reason, I've always loved Dana Carvey's impersonation of 41.

I guess it just felt too much like a serious message then a SNL skit, which was its intent, but one of the things that always made their impersonations so funny to me was how none of them really do that well of an impersonation. So if you serious it up, instead of making it goofy then it loses something to me.

Chevy Chase was funny, I'll give Ron Howard that.

Remember aflac worships the guy who handed the banks 700 billion on his way out of the WH, as well as McLost and Palin for supporting it.

Maybe youre one of those who needs a laughtrack to tell you when something is funny?

"Danforth's doing his usual lurking, but his timing is all screwed up."

Awwww, poor Cookie is still sore from getting his nose rubbed in his own shit yesterday.

Carry on, honey!

Danforth daily proves my point. No balls to post a thread, but lots of lurking. Unfortunately, he's getting so old and feeble that it now takes him as much time to respond to his victims (#9), as it does to poop. Go into the light Danforth. All are welcome.

Really funny, for a change.
