    Well that's disappointing. Not much to mock on this one.

    1. UnCivilServant   10 years ago

      I'm wondering why the Dr Who Potato alien is commenting on whether or not Trump's parents were married at the time of his birth.

      1. Swiss Servator   10 years ago

        Hey, it ain't much of a challenge to have Baron Vladimir Harkonnen question your legitimacy.

      2. Marc St. Stephen   10 years ago

        If I remember correctly, the "Dr Who Potato Aliens" were actually called Sontarans .... not that I was a big fan or anything... okay I was when I was a kid, and I'm only moderately ashamed to admit that.

        And If I remember correctly, the Sontarans were also insufferable self-centered assholes, so kudos to the appropriateness of the likeness.

  2. straffinrun   10 years ago

    Cool...I onLy voTed fOr hiM bEcauSe he's a BAstaRd.

    1. Swiss Servator   10 years ago

      If I play that backward will I find out who killed Ringo?

      1. darius404   10 years ago

        It was YOU.... you killed Ringo. Happy now you bastard?

  3. SugarFree   10 years ago

    I got one good dig in at work...

    "Hey, anybody remember back in October when saying you wouldn't accept the results of an election was the worst thing you could possibly do?"

    1. WTF   10 years ago

      That went down the Memory Hole. Along with dissent being racist.

      1. SugarFree   10 years ago

        I got a few uncomfortable looks and one "But it's not Hillary saying that." I just did an evil chuckle at the last.

        1. WTF   10 years ago

          I'm just looking forward to the return of the "anti-war" movement and their giant papier mache heads.

          1. Bman   10 years ago

            ...along with plenty of stories about the plight of the homeless now that Obummer is out of office.

      2. LarryA   10 years ago

        That went down the Memory Hole.

        Also long with, "And why would you ever even consider taking up arms against the U.S. Government."
        (Picture liberals signing up for "How to Shoot" classes and coming to prepper meetings. It's happening.)

    2. Lord Humungus   10 years ago

      This was one of those "truth stranger than fiction" moments - same with the whole "Russian as the enemies of the US" turnaround versus 2012.

      1. Tejicano   10 years ago

        I love how when I was trying to explain to my leftist sister how there is some pretty good evidence that Benghazi was a direct result of some foreign power, most probably Russia, hacking and/or and getting access to Hillary's e-mail when she was SoS she simply would not hear anything of the kind. But now that "the Russians are to blame" for Hillary losing the election, "well. that's different..."

        1. Mainer2   10 years ago

          Hillary's negligence, I mean extreme carelessness, with classified data just go four people killed. That's nothing compared to a vagina losing an election.

          sarc obviously.

          How can people say such things and be a morally serious person.

    3. Pompey: Ho Class Mothersmucker   10 years ago

      There's this lab technician I deal with regularly, total TDS case and can't stop talking and fuming about Trump gossip. One day a semi-retarded janitor at tyne facility introduced him as Donald Trump to one of the black employees he had never met before, and he had a sad. Ample opportunities to give this guy a hard time.

      1. SugarFree   10 years ago

        Niiiice.

  4. Domestic Dissident   10 years ago

    Where can I get one of those floating TV screens?

    1. UnCivilServant   10 years ago

      It's not floating, the guy in the chair is just so stoned he can't see the wall mount.

      1. yet another dave   10 years ago

        No, that creepy proggie guy s peering into the deplorable guys window... That's how creepy cartoon drawing guys communicate..

    2. Pompey: Ho Class Mothersmucker   10 years ago

      Wal*Mart. Check Wal*Mart.

    3. ant1sthenes   10 years ago

      I think one of the TV companies was showing off a TV thin and light enough that you could pretty much put it up with double-sided tape. Maybe he's just cutting edge.

      1. spqr2008   10 years ago

        LG showed them off at CES this year. Something like $10K for a 65 inch OLED.

        1. NoDakMat   10 years ago

          Yeah, I want to hang a $10K TV using the same shit that can't be trusted to hold up a hand towel hook in the bathroom.

  5. WTF   10 years ago

    Why is Tor Johnson on TV? Isn't he dead?

    1. UnCivilServant   10 years ago

      That didn't stop Peter Cushing from appearing in Star Wars.

    2. Lord Humungus   10 years ago

      +1 Bride of the Monster

  6. Fist of Etiquette   10 years ago

    A thought bubble? That's the cartoonist's crutch.

    1. UnCivilServant   10 years ago

      Awfully difficult to walk using that.

      1. Swiss Servator   10 years ago

        Sigh...already.

        *narrows gaze*

    2. Will4Freedom   10 years ago

      If the guy was actually talking back to his TV... well that would just be weird.

      1. UnCivilServant   10 years ago

        Hey!

        I only talk back to other people's TVs...

        ... probably because I ditched mine.

      2. Fist of Etiquette   10 years ago

        Usually there's an equally dumpy wife on the sofa with our hapless protagonist.

  7. Lord Humungus   10 years ago

    Needs moar labels! /ghost of a lost HnR commentator

    1. WTF   10 years ago

      Actually, it's "NEEDZ MOAR LABELZ!!!111!!"

      1. Lord Humungus   10 years ago

        Almanian thanks you (not sure if that was his thing or not)

        1. straffinrun   10 years ago

          Cheers to that.

        2. Swiss Servator   10 years ago

          It was.

          Hang in their Almanian!!

          1. Swiss Servator   10 years ago

            *there*

            1. UnCivilServant   10 years ago

              What's the latest on his condition?

              1. Pompey: Ho Class Mothersmucker   10 years ago

                ..

              2. Mainer2   10 years ago

                Still abiding, but spending time with family.

  8. Chinny Chin Chin   10 years ago

    I think a re-branding of "Friday Funnies" is long overdue.

    1. UnCivilServant   10 years ago

      Then you don't get it.

      reason provides the thread and the commentariat provides the funnies.

  9. Will4Freedom   10 years ago

    "reason provides the thread and the commentariat sometimes provides the funnies"

    FTFY

    1. ant1sthenes   10 years ago

      "reason provides the thread and the commentariat sometimes provides the furries"

      FTFY

  10. Rebel Scum   10 years ago

    Speaking of "deplorables", I've been meaning to get a Pepe Trump t-shirt and wear it to mess with my lefty gf's lefty, die-hard Democrat bleever parents. I might be a bad person.

    1. Cynical Asshole   10 years ago

      You should get her and her parents some of these.

  11. Fmontyr   10 years ago

    Donald Trump is illegitimate.
