  1. Fist of Etiquette   12 years ago

    Bernard Shaw is back on CNN? Good for him.

  2. WTF   12 years ago

    What is this I don't even...

    1. Fist of Etiquette   12 years ago

      It's early, your mind isn't working yet. You'll get it once you get that first cup of media in you.

      1. db   12 years ago

        Media! It's a healthy way to start your day! Part of this complete breakfast. Fortified with 11 herbs and spices.

        1. Longtorso, Johnny   12 years ago

          And electrolytes! Which plants crave!

          1. Almanian!   12 years ago

            *kicks Longtorso in the nads*

            1. Ted S.   12 years ago

              I didn't think Longtorso had any nads to be kicked in.

              1. Longtorso, Johnny   12 years ago

                Kick away, they're steel. Really, I got them from an office desk clacker toy after an unfortunate bull riding incident. You should hear me *clack* *clack* *clack* when I walk down the street.

            2. AlmightyJB   12 years ago

              Ouch! My balls!

  3. invisible furry hand   12 years ago

    so the media is a chamberpot that sits on a desk. Got it.

  4. Fluffy   12 years ago

    I am confused because of insufficient labeling.

    That rectangular device with a black frame that is showing that video of the African-American gentleman - what is that? Can't you put a label on it so I'll know what it is?

    That black object the man in the blue shirt is sitting on - what is one of those called?

    I have noun trouble and I think you need to help me out more if you want this cartoon to be clear.

    1. AlmightyJB   12 years ago

      All you need to know is that it's RACIST.

  5. Longtorso, Johnny   12 years ago

    I'm just trying to figure out what penis-nose (a straight line thru the forehead to the tip of the nose like the white guy watching TV) would look like in real life. We need an example, like those life size Barbie dolls people use to bash Mattel.

    1. db   12 years ago

      ...yeah, that's not what they're using those dolls for. Unless "bashing Mattel" has a new meaning to the kids these days.

      1. Longtorso, Johnny   12 years ago

        I meant feminist protestors, not Warty masturbating.

    2. Arkansaustrian Economics   12 years ago

      See Akroyd, Dan in Nothin But Trouble

  6. PS   12 years ago

    This has to be the worst FF ever.

    1. Lord Humungus   12 years ago

      seconded

    2. Almanian!   12 years ago

      This is the worst chatroom ever. EVER.

    3. Ted S.   12 years ago

      There's some pretty stiff competition for that "honor".

  7. invisible furry hand   12 years ago

    each new FF is the worst one ever

    1. db   12 years ago

      Each new unthreaded comment is the unthreadedest ever.

      1. Lord Humungus   12 years ago

        seconded (again)

    2. Ted S.   12 years ago

      IFH = P Brooks?

  8. Fist of Etiquette   12 years ago

    WRONG and WRONG. This is one of the best Friday Funnies of all times.

    1. Certified Public Asskicker   12 years ago

      I'm with you Fist.

      1. Fist of Etiquette   12 years ago

        Then I change my vote.

  9. Longtorso, Johnny   12 years ago

    Bad enough to make me wish Bok was back.

    1. Fist of Etiquette   12 years ago

      Wait, are they not doing Bok's anymore? Bokbluster.com was one of the greatest play on words. He had his name legally changed just so he could use it. It used to be Chip Cleverwitz.

  10. Copernicus   12 years ago

    Worst Payne-toon ever? Vote early, vote often.

  11. Acosmist   12 years ago

    That is a huge monitor. Maybe buying those is why the media are going out of business. Cut costs, guys!

  12. Longtorso, Johnny   12 years ago

    Texan Robin Kral couldn't be happier to have won 1972's Bee. Lauren Pringle, right, is not so happy with second place. This may be the greatest photograph ever taken.

    1. BlueBook   12 years ago

      Damn, I'd like to see a follow-up on those two in later life.

      1. Longtorso, Johnny   12 years ago

        Hot spelling bee hate sex.

    2. Eduard van Haalen   12 years ago

      NPR just did a thing about all the Indian-Americans winning spelling bees.

      1. Ted S.   12 years ago

        What was their concern troll angle?

        1. Eduard van Haalen   12 years ago

          Either it wasn't there or I missed it. I think it was multiculturalism.

    3. Apatheist ?_??   12 years ago

      Makes me want to watch the Cheap Seats spelling bee episodes again.

      1. Longtorso, Johnny   12 years ago

        Mogwai!!!!

    4. Pro Libertate   12 years ago

      It all works out for her in the end, as she later is hired to portray Velma.

    5. AlmightyJB   12 years ago

      My guess is that Robin is a coke head and Lauren is a pole dancer.

  13. WomSom   12 years ago

    lol, wpow that makes a ll kinds of sense dude.

    http://www.WorldPrivacy.tk

  14. Longtorso, Johnny   12 years ago

    I also demand a Slim Boodbody pic accompanying a Reason article in the next week.

    5 Romantic Products Perfect for Ending Relationships
    ...Let's do a quick test: What is it that you like most about bacon? That it smells and tastes delicious? Well, the inventors of the bacon condom are pretty sure what you like most about bacon is that fact that it looks like an inside-out rectum. This is a latex condom that just looks like bacon -- sort of. Actually it more closely resembles what Slim Goodbody's flayed dick might look like if PBS had the courage to make him anatomically correct....

    1. Longtorso, Johnny   12 years ago

      ...Speaking of revolting combinations of body parts and food, the Edible Anus is a Belgian chocolate replica of the only part of your own body that, at its healthiest, can make you deathly ill even from second-hand contact. That's it. What at first seems like it must be a gag gift is actually painstakingly hand crafted by chocolatiers who, apparently, also share a deep and profound appreciation for butt holes. The reason it looks so realistic is because it was produced from a mold of an actual butt, and now it's available for your consumption....

  15. Almanian!   12 years ago

    Horrible. Therefore perfect.

    Happy fucking Friday, Reasonoloids.

  16. SIV   12 years ago

    The dog whistles are deafening. Is this reason or Stormfront? It is 2013, you can't have a caricature of an African-American saying "boo". Payne is calling the AG a sp**k.

    1. Almanian!   12 years ago

      +1 Casper

  17. Bee Tagger   12 years ago

    How many movies is this administration going to consult on? I didn't even understand a Ring sequel, let alone a trilogy.

    1. Eduard van Haalen   12 years ago

      Which Ring series - the one with the hobbits, the one with the Norse gods, or the one with the long-haired creepy chick?

      1. Bee Tagger   12 years ago

        I haven't heard of the second one. So, that one.

        1. Eduard van Haalen   12 years ago

          You never saw TWILIGHT...of the Gods?

    2. Fist of Etiquette   12 years ago

      Fifty-six minutes and this is the best you could come up with?

  18. sarcasmic   12 years ago

    When did Juan Williams grow a mustache?

  19. Floridian   12 years ago

    OT: http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/3355184
    Maybe this hard news can take our mind of these so-called scandals.

    1. Ted S.   12 years ago

      We discussed this yesterday in the Afternoon Links.

      Unrelated, but does anybody else find the Huffington Post site to be a horrible memory hog? If you're going to post to such a shithole, at least give us a pr?cis of the article if the URL doesn't give a good clue.

      1. Floridian   12 years ago

        My first link a failure?! For shame. I'll return to the back of the class now.

    2. AlmightyJB   12 years ago

      Wow. I'm so glad I have not succumbed to getting twitter.

  20. Tim   12 years ago

    What the fook is that?

  21. some guy   12 years ago

    This isn't funny. It's just disturbing and more than a little frightening. Job well done Mr. Payne... for once.

  22. Longtorso, Johnny   12 years ago

    Sorry for violating the purity of the Payne cartoon comment thread.

  23. Harvard   12 years ago

    That's obviously Jesse Jackson you idiot.

  24. Almanian!   12 years ago

    lulz!

    LONGTORSO IS BACK, BITCHEZ!

    Next: Moar Bea Arthur Lynx!

  25. Warty   12 years ago

    Ignore her. You don't want her to start shitting up the place with 2000 comment threads again.

  26. SugarFree   12 years ago

    Did you notice the date, Warty?

  27. Longtorso, Johnny   12 years ago

    The Jacket already posted a nude Bea Arthur pic on the main blog page. I can't top that; I can only detract from the moral purity of that moment.

  28. db   12 years ago

    Of today or when she started?

  29. SugarFree   12 years ago

    End of the month, db. The meds start running out.
