Aqua Buddha Crashes Rand Paul Debate (On Jimmy Kimmel Live)

video
» 36 comments

The whole Rand Paul-Aqua Buddha thing came and went a few months ago, but it’s back in the news as the weeks until the election wind down.

Since Aqua Buddha was introduced in the most recent Kentucky debate, and in a campaign ad, the character of Aqua Buddha has taken on a life of its own.

Jimmy Kimmel, who admitted Rand Paul was probably just kidding about the whole Aqua Buddha thing, turned the character into a cartoon. And while playing a clip of the debate earlier this week, Aqua Buddha crashed the stage. There was even a catchy theme song:

Aqua Buddha, he’s Aqua Buddha.
He likes Nirvana, he talks to tuna.
Bow down, bow down.
To Aqua Buddha.

Once on the stage, Aqua Buddha commanded America to bow down before him, and turns Paul and his opponent Jack Conway into fish.

This is the 2010 election cycle. Side note: Rand Paul is heavily favored to win.

    Libs are mad that it wasn’t “Aqua Velva ” because they sure could use it.

  • writer

    Weren’t velvas the topic of another thread?

  • The Real Royal King

    I want to go on record saying that the Free Exercise provision of Amendment I to the Constitution makes it perfectly legal for Ayn Rand Paul to worship Aqua Buddha, although it does not authorize him to kidnap and restrain women to force them to worship Aqua Buddha.

    How terribly witty. Har! Har!

    I’ve been trying not to comment on specific Congressional races, but though I think there may be a strong likelihood that Paul might win, I wouldn’t call him heavily favored in any of the polls I’ve seen and anecdotally, I haven’t seen enthusiastic, across-the-board support.

    Still and I realize that I may be helping his campaign, but if the dude would just come out and explain that “Aqua Buddha” was his club’s bong, a lot of the controversy would go away.

    …and for the record, my college bong was made from Jack Daniel’s bottle.

    I dated a girl in college who made designer roach clips using semi-precious stones. Made a fortune!

    HAHAHHAHHA I agree.

    @Rocksteady: We alternated between calling it “Jack” and “Mr. Black” depending on the setting.

    HAHAHHAHAHAHAHA To funny.

    Come on Notsofast what was yours called .HAHAHHAHAHHAHAH

    @Jon: My dealer next door in college, he had the regular large-sized Buddha that so many people have owned and it was neat, but the highlight of my memories from his house was watching a fellow — who later became an international pop star — get toasted, then light his farts.

    Ah, the intellectual pursuits of those in college…

    Since I have never smoked anything and have never taken ANY illegal drugs, your comments are not funny. I did work with police to bust drug sellers and users. I loved watching them taken away in handcuffs. Two people I busted were found hanging naked in their garage. They claimed it was suicide but I never believed it.

    You must be smoking some now. It is illegal where I live. Are you attempting humor? I am sure you meant “But” not Bur. Get that smoke out of your eyes.

    Ha, Ha, there is NOTHING funny about drugs or drug use. You are very confused if you think the majority of the people in this country think like YOU. You will find out on Nov. 2nd won’t we?

    In the People’s Republic of Texas one can conceivably get a ticket for possession. I think it happens. Rarely. Of course, if you rode around with APD, I’m sure they’d be more vigilant.

    Well mine was called “blue”, after me and my roommates fav CD by 311. One of them always spilled in on his foot because we kept it with the pots and pans. Aqua Buddha does have a better ring.

    Box of Rocks, I don’t drink and I have called the police on my cell phone to get those weaving drivers. I have no use for “Parties”. You need to quit hiding behind that phony name, you coward. Put your crayons away and quit bothering the adults here.

    Hey, where’s the report about Maddow’s claim that a republican congressman had prior knowledge to the Oklahoma City bombings and did nothing to stop it?

    That was Monday.

    “In 1994, in the first mid-term election after the last Democratic president was elected, we got a slate of candidates that included Helen Chenoweth of Idaho and Steve Stockman of Texas. These two were so close to the militia movement in this country that Mr. Stockman actually received advance notice that the Oklahoma City bombing was going to happen.”

    This is a false accusation.

    Will Mediaite go against their MSNBC boss and report that? Did I miss that?

    You are a bitter old man. But my your good at name calling.

    In this election cycle, the leftwing media will give more coverage to AQUA BUDDHA than to unemployment, the deficit, the war on terror, etc. A sad spectacle….

    That just reminds me of a song: “I’d Rather Have a Bottle In Front of Me Than Have a Frontal Lobotomy.” (By the way, I never drank or did drugs. I have suffered and am still suffering the consequences of somebody else driving while stoned.)

    Anyway, it’s just sad to see how the Democrat has turned a serious race into something that belongs in a kindergarten recess!
