So utterly WRONG

[coyotegoth]

I can only quote from Harry Kimball at Newser, by way of Making Light:

"Adjust your opinion of Kristopher Sickles--one of the Hutaree militia members jailed on suspicion of sedition and conspiracy to murder a police officer--according to a YouTube video dug up by TPMMuckracker which is super NSFW. In it, Sickles awakens in a field naked save for a picture of George W. Bush partially obscuring his genitalia. He finds a wounded guy lying nearby, and is himself attacked by a man in a diaper wearing a huge duck head, who roars: "May the mighty dildos of hell rain upon your wicked carcass, quack, quack."

""Scar my tattered body no more with your punishing dildo mallet," Sickles pleads. He is then rescued by a lisping passerby. In what appears to be a punchline for a joke that never really got told, Sickles' naked character answers the question of what happened thusly: "I just woke up from a wet dream to a dead guy and a chicken who preceded to flog me with a rubber cock, and to top it all off, I've got a moron humming on my naked balls." The clip has disappeared from YouTube, but TPM has a version."

(To which I can only add that my apartment mate has posted many YouTube videos starring himself; if he even thinks of buying a duck mask...)

This is not a joke?

what's the difference between a duck?

I think it IS a joke. I mean, it was Sickles' joke. His sense of humor is not mine, and I don't have the context for any of the in-jokes (nor do I especially want them). Monty Python pulled off their combination of absurdity, political humor, slapstick, and gross-out humor, because they had very good writing and comic timing. (Sometimes, of course, Monty Python failed to pull it off.) Sickles and his team of losers don't have the skills to make their jokes funny, but they're still obviously jokes.

Yes, the portrayal of "first aid" is ridiculous. I don't think for a second that's because the writer believes human bodies work that way, or believes first aid doesn't matter. I think it's a joke, even if I don't think it's funny.

I second adrian_turtle's feeling: that it's intentionally ridiculous, if not all that funny. Oh, Internet...

...I... what?

Uh, yeah, that's brilliant social commentary. That's what it is. Uh-huh. *nods sagely and in a way that suggests thoughts about rivers in Egypt*
