  1. Longtorso, Johnny   13 years ago

    First! Sucks!

    1. Almanian!   13 years ago

      Fifth! Still sucks!

      1. Longtorso, Johnny   13 years ago

        Will it ever not suck?

        1. Almanian!   13 years ago

          tragically, no

        2. deified   13 years ago

          There's an alarming lack of "Golden Girls" content in this cartoon.

          1. Archduke Pantsfan   13 years ago

            I thought that was Bea Arthur and Rue mcclanahan answering the door

  2. Fist of Etiquette   13 years ago

    It looks like that dude has a rough idea the cop is coming on to him.

  3. invisible furry hand   13 years ago

    Utterly unrealistic. The dog is still alive

    1. LTC(ret) John   13 years ago

      Gah! You beat me to it.

      1. UnCivilServant   13 years ago

        That's a DOG?

  4. WTF   13 years ago

    Don't know if this was posted yet, so STOP RESISTING!

    Deaf woman calls 911 as shes beaten black and blue by Washington police officers because "she didn't hear their orders".

    1. Almanian!   13 years ago

      Now THAT'S how I like to start a Friday - with good, old-fashioned, wrongful police beating!

      She probably had it coming. Officer safety.

      1. WTF   13 years ago

        Hey, someone has to deliver the Friday nut-punch!

  5. Archduke Pantsfan   13 years ago

    Is that a Liberian flag?!

  6. Drave Robber   13 years ago

    This.

    1. Almanian!   13 years ago

      That is excellent. Disturbing. But excellent.

  7. Archduke Pantsfan   13 years ago

    This

    1. Ted S.   13 years ago

      NEEDZ MOAR LABELZ!

  8. anarch   13 years ago

    I look forward to the day that this Friday Funny is treated in polite society as the political equivalent of a rape joke.

    1. LTC(ret) John   13 years ago

      THAT'S NOT FUNNY!

      /Lindy West

      1. BakedPenguin   13 years ago

        Be fair, she knows about not being funny.

        1. Longtorso, Johnny   13 years ago

          What if you're raping a clown?

          1. BakedPenguin   13 years ago

            I have never (and will never) rape(d) anyone, but if I chose to do so, it certainly wouldn't be a clown.

  9. Zakalwe   13 years ago

    Ok, I like that Jeffrey Tambor and LIza Minelli are here as an Arrested Development season 4 nod, but what's going on with that thought bubble over his head?

    Do Dunphy's arms look like that after all his lifting? It would explain his psychosis.

    1. Rich   13 years ago

      "Thought bubble"?

      I took it to be flowers, like the cloud over Joe Btfsplk.

    2. Fist of Etiquette   13 years ago

      Rough idea. Get it?

      1. Zakalwe   13 years ago

        I refuse to acknowledge jokes that might preempt me.

      2. Zakalwe   13 years ago

        Do you have any idea why they're house sitting for an NBA center? That door.

        1. Fist of Etiquette   13 years ago

          Maybe, by a mad coincidence, all four are afflicted with dwarfism and that dog is actually a rat.

  10. Fist of Etiquette   13 years ago

    This is the best Village People tribute band yet.

    1. Longtorso, Johnny   13 years ago

      Everybody sing!

      "We're going to have butt sex in theeee gaaayyy bathhouse...ttheeeee gaaaayyy bathhouse......"

      Sorry, was that too literal a reading of the YMCA song Grandma is dancing to at her granddaughter's wedding?

  11. sarcasmic   13 years ago

    Oh yeah? Well... Bush started it!

  12. Lord Humungus   13 years ago

    it's so funny I forgot to laugh /PeeWee Herman voice

  13. Suthenboy   13 years ago

    http://www.wired.com/dangerroo.....tv-remote/

  14. Slammer   13 years ago

    The cop's hand is completely mashed from constantly beating on citizens

  15. Monkey's Uncle   13 years ago

    So, in the case of the cartoon, the cops and Verizon ask first? That's not how it happens methinks.

  16. Fatty Bolger   13 years ago

    Friday morning at the White House

    1. itsnotmeitsyou   13 years ago

      Now that's a funny Friday morning cartoon.

      1. Bobarian   13 years ago
