Cards Against Humanity: Reason's State of the Union Version!

Cards Against Humanity SOTUreason

For those who are bored with the familiar rhetoric of the State of the Union speeches, we've integrated previous quotes with Cards Against Humanity to create a fun new spin on the game.

If you haven't played, it's very easy. Here are their official rules.

Cards Against Humanity is a party game for horrible people. Unlike most of the party games you've played before, Cards Against Humanity is as despicable and awkward as you and your friends.

The game is simple. Each round, one player asks a question from a black card, and everyone else answers with their funniest white card.


We've added our own cards to the mix, which are guaranteed to provide more entertainment than the actual SOTU speech.

And we've also included some fun libertarian cards to add to the mix.Cards Against Humanity Libertarianreason

Download a pdf of the cards here and then tell us some of your funniest results.

    I. AM. DELIGHTED.

    You people at Reason can be really fun.

  • Almanian!||

    "You people"? That's RACIST, straight up.

  • Swiss Servator, CHF...gah!||

    That's RACIST, straight up

    That would make a good card.

  • JimJesus||

    MUH IP. I don't believe in IP and 'my' cards are creative commons. Worms.

  • Citizen Nothing||

    ...Christfags!

  • Palin's Buttplug||

    Bushpigs! AbortoFreaks!

  • Citizen Nothing||

    Props, Plug.

  • Citizen Nothing||

    ...Ass sex, Mexicans and pot.

    I can't believe that wasn't in the first edition.

  • Butler||

    Nothing about monocles or orphans? What a disgrace.

    But, +1 for the "Fuck you, cut spending" reference.

  • Curt||

    ...Orange Line cocktail parties.

  • Cliché Bandit||

    You know who else made a series of funny cards?

  • Mike A.||

    Hallmark?

  • Notorious G.K.C.||

    The Joker?

  • Tamfang||

    Hitler?

  • Andrew S.||

    Can I somehow play this as a drinking game? Because while I'd certainly never lower myself to watching this sham of an event, the only way I would be able to do so is if I was blackout drunk.

  • Andrew S.||

    Also, while I appreciate the inclusion of "No, fuck you, cut spending", it should have been joined by "Because fuck you, that's why" and "Fuck off, slaver"

  • SweatingGin||

    They usually post the SOTU drinking game at some point today, right?

    It's pretty brutal.

  • ColonelEngineer||

    My suggestions:

    "Hillary Clinton's modest and impoverished lifestyle after the White House"

    "2A violation induced moistness between Diane Feinstein's thighs"

    "KOCH BROTHERS!!!1!!"

    "binders full of women"

    *Archer voice* I swear I had something for this... something something Wedding Crashers 2: Unrated Predator Drone Edition?

  • Ska||

    Let me be clear: cocaine in vending machines.

  • Jordan||

    You forgot:

    ROADZ!
    KOCHTOPUS!
    "For a magazine called Reason..."

  • Carl ✓s the level||

    Yeah, For a site called Reason is definitely needed.

    ____Campus rape.

    "Gonna put ya'll back in___________"

  • Pro Libertate||

    I'm not watching the stupid speech even if it turns out that Obama is going to quote one of my comments here in the speech. Well, unless he says "No, fuck you, cut spending." I'd watch that.

    It's all pointless, and taking any of the socialist-to-communist proposals he's planning to dish out seriously at all--even to bother attacking it--is foolish. He's throwing shit on the wall, trying to stay relevant. Fuck that shit.

  • CampingInYourPark||

    ...for the children

  • Plàya Manhattan.||

    Does this mean that there's nothing good on TV tonight?

  • Pro Libertate||

    In the 21st century, you ask this question? What, were you planning on watching network television?

  • WTF||

    Seriously, this is what Netflix is for.

  • Harold Falcon||

  • VicRattlehead||

    its the libertarian thing to do, i mean think of the children! those poor unemployed children.

  • Fist of Etiquette||

    How do we attract more jobs to our shores? Lifeguard quotas.

  • flye||

    Somalia

    M-A-R-S Mars bitches.

  • From the Tundra||

    You can't suggest that without a link, flye.

  • Agent Cupcake||

    I just sort of fell in love with Reason all over again.

  • Bgoptmst||

    Odd. Bo or Tony haven't chimed in yet to ask why shouldn't the rich pay for monocole polishing children?

    And BBBBOOOOOOSSHHHHHHHH had horrible SOTU addresses, so why all the Obama hate?

  • Harold Falcon||

    Because he's the one in charge right now. I can assure you, most of us were playing drinking games during Bush's speeches as well.

  • Loki||

    I'm pretty sure Bush was playing drinking games during his own speeches. It would certainly explain a lot.

  • VicRattlehead||

    cocaine in vending machines

  • jjostm||

    And, if I may, there is an Indiegogo campaign for a beautiful set of cards against libertarians, called "Libertarians Against Humanity." This isn't my collection—I just listen to a lot of LRN.FM and know of it through the Feens. It looks like a nice addition to anyone's collection of party cards for terrible people, particularly if you're into liberty.

    I've also made a fillable PDF for anyone who'd like to easily DIY some of these print-your-own free cards:

    Black cards: http://bit.ly/1KY0zBR

    And that's about it. Feel free to enjoy or don't.

    You racist bastards also forgot about Ferguson and the murderous racist cops in NYC, though I cannot predict what Obama will say.

    I wouldn't be surprised, however, if Obama says something about Charlie Hebdo to the effect, "To protect our precious freedom of expression, we must ___________", where the blank basically means "curtail the freedom of expression."
