So where are the jokes about Democrats?

I can see the humor in alot of things. But what's funny about saying the Nazis would be McCain/Palin supporters? Is there some historical fact I'm missing out on?

Well, seeing how the war in the Middle East is basically a scaled down holocaust of innocent civilians I can definitely see the comparison, but I digress. No need to enter into a political debate over some small jokes on an adult animated series.

I thought it was one of the funniest episodes every produced. I loved their references and yes, the oil joke and the button made me laugh, but then again, I am not american.

Is this really a generally held opinion of the war? Or is my sarcasm detector broken?

Loved it. Great episode.

Loved the BTTF reference. :)

It wasn't funny or even clever. It was juvenile and rather stupid. That's why I hope it was ironic, because that's the only way it would be funny.

But making fun of Sarah Palin's accent is just so hilarious. Pat yourself on the back, Mr. Comedian!

mikehunt 10-20-08 08:25 PM

it's possible to make fun of republicans and be funny
the pin on the nazi uniform wasn't

This exhibit might give you a different perspective.

Big Boy Laroux 10-21-08 09:50 AM

yeah, the pin on the nazi uniform wasn't that funny. and i'm an obama supporter.


the Darby Sonar joke was awesome. And I actually enjoyed the BTTF bit - "DAS MANURE".

Loved how Brian and Stewie were about to go into a song routine when Mort interrupted them.

Yeah, that's an extremely large number of casualties. But I don't see concentration camps, extermination camps or gas chambers as causes of death. Our intent is not to exterminate all Muslims. The comparison is ludicrous.

scarface983 10-21-08 02:32 PM

funny show

Thats true, to be considered genocide you have to kill in specific ways. huh?

Holysmoker 10-21-08 03:17 PM

No, I suppose not. But genocide is a nice buzzword. It ranks right up there with holocaust. Neither of which is happening. There is a war. It's ugly.

Me007gold 10-21-08 04:19 PM

not a single laugh. Honesty I would expect an Obama pin on a Nazi uniform, he basicly has the same views, minus all the killing.

No, he doesn't. Not even close. Maybe you should have paid more attention in history class.

Obama is more like Stalin than Hitler.

i like how this thread has denigrated into the shit that happens in the political threads.
