This was surprisingly really funny.

This was unsurprisingly really lame, just like SNL. From the same geniuses who gave us Leno at 10 Eastern 9 Central.

Loved it!  Ron Paul, kicking butt and taking names…LOL!

WHERES THE REST OF IT?????????????

hell yeah…best part of it all

Ron Paul 2012.

Yeah I think its a well known and documented fact that conservatives not only have no sense of humor  they also hate to be mocked.

Hence why liberals have comedies and comedians on TV and conservatives have “El Rushbo” on the radio. Their kind of “humor” can’t compete in the 21rst century entertainment mediums.

NUFF SAID.

Lame…I did like the Herman Cain parts

niiiiiice… that was basically an ENDORSEMENT for the Champion of The Constitution, Dr. ███ ████ !!

Sarah, not murder, self defense!

Here is a complete video comparison of the Herman Cain 999 plan vrs the RON PAUL 000 plan:

In all fairness, I know a few conservatives that do have a great sense of humor.  In my experience, their old school conservatives. When people lack the ability to find humor in their own actions somewhere in my psychic interior an eyebrow is raised.

Ron Paul 2012 ! I thought it was hilarious.

If they were to take him out, 10,000 more would appear in his place. The incredible power of freedom brings people together.

what are you suggesting?

“Let me put it to you in pizza terms…”

He’s got Mitt’s weird voice down – I’ll give that.

You don’t think that looked like self defense?  

I think that was self defense….

Word!!!!!

I gasped when the shots rang out, and cheered as RP emerged and dusted himself off…LOL!

My buddy, who’s a big Ron Paul guy, was watching it with me and loved that part.

LOL at Santorum at the gay bar. The man’s become such a national punchline.

Oh and to the author of the article that I didn’t read until after I watched the video…If you get thrown in a van by two masked men, I think you can safely assume that your life is in peril, and you reserve the right to smoke them fools…It’s called self defense, not murder.

███ ████ ideologically pure and tough as nails!! Right on. 

OWS

SNL = stealth member of Ron Paul Army

#OWS

Those poor GOP ‘hopefulls!’ They increasingly appear hopeless, the real folks even more ridiculous than these parodies.

What’s next? “Welcome to the next GOP debate from the Sleepy Bear Inn off exit 76 by Gino’s Foxy Ladies Strip Club and Cigar Emporium,’ sponsored by ‘Tina’s 24Hr Nail ‘n Beauty Shack’?

Mention 9-9-9 or the Angel Moroni and get three bucks off of a frosting and pedicure!

Ron Paul has a lot to offer liberals as he does conservatives. Vince Vaughan is the latest celeb to  ‘come out’ for Ron Paul I wonder if this sketch was a wink in his direction also. They could have choosen a whole number of lines to end but stayed with a serious point about Dr Paul.

Hey Sarah, for you to write an ignorant piece on a TV skit and compare it to men and woman that are placing their lives on the line to help turn around this country is completely immature and stupid. You have no deep convictions to attack men and women who do not agree with this president and would like to change course.  Nobody’s really laughing at the skit here, there laughing at you for talking the time out to compare real life with liberal agenda actors making light of a serious problem.  Grow the hell up!

Your post is almost as funny as the skit. Who peed in your corn flakes?

Your post is almost as funny as the skit. Who peed in your corn flakes?

They should just put the top 4 on next debate which will be on C-span or the food network  Sorry Rick”don’t google me” Santorum and Michelle “buy me a clue” Bachmann.  

Conservatives have no soul. Their sense of humor is comparable to a slow 8th grade bully.

“Yes we can…settle for this.”  True!

What a maroon!

“blah blahdee blah blah blah…bray!” –  I’M laughing. 

Talk about arriving to the party 3 hours later and asking who the f*ck ate the cake! Mediaite does this all the time. Where the hell have you been? Under Perry’s rock?!?

“Yeah I think its a well known and documented fact that conservatives not only have no sense of humor  they also hate to be mocked”

The real issue is that they can’t tell the difference between being mocked and being broadcast on FOX. If I were a conservative, I wouldn’t find that sh*t funny either. It’s just too confusing!!

Okay, but the LAST SNL debate skit had everyone calling it REALLY lame, especially Alex Baldwin as Perry, except for the Michelle Bachmann and Herb Cain renditions (Pizza will come), with Jason Sudakis being good with the imperious attitude but still a WIP. SNL is going a way better job of winnowing the field than the actual debates, because now this SNL Cain is actually MORE substantial than the presumably “real” one, Sudakis is getting spooky good with that weird middle Earth accent of the Mittster and has really upped the ante on Romney’s overall strategy (he’s now becoming borderline classic), and Perry, despite a lot more EFFORT, is actually having less IMPACT. Also, the bit with RoPaul was almost genius, and would have been if they’d left it as no-dialog, no-commentary silent era comedy – RoPaul really does come across a lot like Buster Keaton.

And then after that initial meh response to the earlier debate skit, it took only a few days for the thing to get widely accepted; even Baldwin’s poor effort at Perry sort of worked. So, if that earlier effort started out meh and became fairly decent in just a few more viewings over a few more days, you have to think this latest effort with its stronger initial impression is going to eventually be seen as a turning point towards at least one and maybe two truly memorable renditions: again, Sudakis as Perry is really growing in some very promising ways, and Kenan Thompson may well have found the secret to Cain in that relentless, almost overbearing sunniness. 

Perry remains elusive – but then Perry remains elusive to Perry too, as well as all of us who don’t live in Texas. This is like knowing this guy for a long time and hearing from him constantly about his dynamite smoking hot wife, then you finally meet her at a dinner party and she comes across like that old spinster character Ruth Buzzi played in Laugh In, and you’re going – to yourself – jeez, this guy seemed to have it together so, I believed him – but it’s starting to look like he’s in dire need of an optometrist.

Remember how it took Republicans something like three seasons to finally figure out The Colbert Report was a comedy and Colbert himself was mocking them all with his half-Billo half-Hannitty half-Beck half-crazed puffed up persona? One of the proofs I cite for Bush not being as dumb as he acted was it took all of 5 minutes to figure out at the WH Press Correspondents Dinner that Colbert was having HIM for the main course and there was nothing he could do about it. Yet Tom Delay and many other Congressional Republicans VOLUNTEERED on to that show. You know, the more one considers Bush, the more one starts to conclude that acting dumb was his second best accomplishment – the first being acting conservative. Ronald Reagan & GWB – the Republicans sure love them some actors.

Even after the primaries are over, I hope SNL still dips into that scene once per show until election season is over – Santorum in his own special version of Dante’s Inferno.

Am I the only one who thought they killed Ron Paul and put a body double in his place? lol.. I’m just used to them doing that sort of thing I guess.

Yea, except that he’s crazy and a bigot.

What are you – 12? These Republican candidates run the gamut from completely unprincipled hypocrites to entirely principled crazy people. And to a woman, they don’t so much want to “change course” as deepen the current disaster by returning to the robber baron era – or in the case of Perry, to the 15th Century. The REASON we are in trouble is because of this crowd – the failure of Obama has been that the hole’s got too deep for one person to haul us out of it. 

You almost get the impression Sudakis is so close to completely Occupying Wall Street Mitt that he soon won’t even need writers to feed him lines like that.

you are joking, right??  (usage for they are is they’re, not there.  A very thin skinned comment.

I love this skit! It really does capture, at least for me, the reality of this election. The candidates would be a hilarious SNL reality show if it weren’t for the scary prospect that one of them could be our next Prez! Can we just vote ALL of them off the island? Doesn’t the Republican party have anyone sane to offer? So far this election is going down as the most bizarre in my memory.

The failed abduction of Ron Paul was hilarious..LOL

People always seem to think they can push around the underdog.

Than they learn that little dog can bite.

Or in RP’s case, overpower two tugs and turn their own guns against them.
 
But hey, it’s more effective than biting and just the unexpected and out-of-the-box thinking we need for POTUS.

Ron Paul 2012!

Fact: Obama is so boring he doesn’t make it very
often on SNL! Plus it’s hard to find humor in his blatant lies all the time!

LOL I think somebody needs to unplug the TV and back slowly away from the koolaid. XD

Gotta give you that one.

Gotta give you that one.

“placing their lives on the line”……ha ha…how? Soldiers place their lives on the line…political candidates only open their lives to ridicule….and that was the point of the sketch….

“ liberal agenda actors making light of a serious problem”….yes..the serious problem is the laughable group of candidates.

Ron Paul’s role in the skit had him acting in self defense to protect his life and liberty.  Perfect example how Ron Paul walks his talk…..

Ron Paul 2012!

Flava Cain needs his own reality show!

That wasn’t very funny. It’s difficult to decide which is the greater problem, the talent or the writing.

What’s so laughable about Romney? I think he’s as a formidable general election candidate and I guarantee the White House knows it.

How can you murder someone in self defense?  Idiot.

Sorry…yes I agree…don’t lump him in there with the rest of them

Sorry…yes I agree…don’t lump him in there with the rest of them

I’m impressed.
I real live politician.

Welcome
take a look around
you MIGHT be surprised

‘Ron Paul is a bigot’. LOL. Congradulations at going ALL the way up your ass to pull that one out.

You are starting today. You better win dammit!

Yeah – they just agreed or disagreed.
Some still don’t get it.

You have it right there.
Conservatives.
Real people who may have a difference of opinion, but want the country to succeed.

Unlike Republicans or Regressives who are only concerned about unlimited terms and making sure the President scores no points.

Ron Paul ideologically consistent, and tough as nails. SNL knows what time it is! Good job guys.

The ███ ████ part really made me laugh hard.  Didn’t expect that at all.  Tough as nails for sure. 

So, there you have it. You now know who big corporations DON’T want you to vote for. Why else go to all this trouble to ignore Dr. Paul or to portray him as someone upon whom your vote is wasted? Make no mistake, this is about thousands of dollars out of your pocket each and every year, which would support tens of millions of jobs. The FED exports the jobs as they export our money. Honest money means jobs flowing back IN to America.

Ron Paul was hilarious. BTW, self defense is not murder. He got kidnapped and he took them down, which was awesome. RP2012

It looked like a SNL endorsement for Ron Paul to me. Ron Paul 2012. Black This Out Money Bomb

.

Give me a break. Romney is a joke, GOP would turn on him in a second as they’ve been trying to but all of their “wonder boys” and girls have crashed and burned so by default they keep going back to Romney. I support Ron Paul, have from the start and will to the end, no one but Ron Paul will beat Obama, we won’t vote for anyone else, GOP better realize this.

It’s not murder when you’re killing someone in self-defense.  Just thought I’d point that out — to the slaves out there.  Ron Paul 2012.

SNL who?

Fact: SNL is about as wise as Sean Penn when it comes
to their political views. No views from the eyes of the gutter are scenic! They never will see anything with morals!

Where’s your proof of insanity and bigotry again? Oh that’s right, you don’t have any, because you just made it up. You do realize He Who Must Not Be Named Or Shown In News Stories is 3rd in fundraising and first in number of donors, right?

SNL has Hit it right on the spot! Watching that skit gave credence to the subtle nuances and America’s political views! It was so close to the real world and the blatant differences in different polls show the only poll that will count is the one in November 2012!

how’d you black that out?  don’t forget OCT 19th!!!!  black this out!!!! (look it up)

The Bernanke was driving the van.  ███ ████ 2012!!!!

“while Ron Paul resisted kidnapping in the parking garage and I think murdered a few people?”

Eh, eh. Ron Paul engage in his second amendment right to self defense. In this case against being kidnapped.

Hilarious skit BTW!

Bachmann giving Gingrich the atomic elbow…..priceless!

Anyone get the tag number of that van?  I wonder who it would lead to? The fed, little ceasers, UN, dept of education, dept of energy, TSA, Boeing, xe.. so many people so badly wantl ███ ████ to just shut up and go away and for all of us to forget about him and his message and just go back to sleep.

Give till it hurts on 10/19

“no one but Ron Paul will beat Obama”

You really believe that?

How clever, redacting Ron Paul’s name, pretending it’s the name dared not spoken. Ooooo, how spooky.

This skit was hilarious and so true.  And that about sums up the GOP field of useless candidates.

I’m a conservative and i thought it was very funny.  There are many funny conservatives in hollywood.  However they usually have to hide the fact they are conservative unless they are extremely successful and even then there is a backlash against them.  Ever see AIrplane, Naked Gun ect??  they were made by conservative republicans.  Here is the same guy who made those movies making political commercials.  Its a funny anti Democrat one from 2006.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7h3GPc_yMCE

its when the mocking occurs 24/7 and when there is virtually nothing against Democrats.  Remember when Obama was first elected.  Comedians actually said there now cant be any jokes about Obama?? WHAT????  SUre when your audiance is all liberals, liberals don’t like jokes about Obama at all.  ANd heres the proof.

May 04, 2009|Greg BraxtonOn
his HBO show, “Real Time With Bill Maher,” the comedian routinely makes
vicious fun of celebrities, politicians, presidents and even God. But
he’s learned that, for much of his audience, Barack Obama is off limits.Not
long after the historic presidential election, Maher joked that
Republicans were feeling particularly superstitious: “They say the
country is having bad luck because there’s a black cat in the White
House.” The studio audience erupted in loud groans and boos — a
reaction, Maher observed in a recent interview, that exceeded his often
scathing attacks on organized religion.
“Obama is the new God,” quipped Maher of the poorly received dig,
which he pointed out pokes at conservatives more than the commander in
chief.The heckling response to Maher’s gibe is hardly an
anomaly. As late-night talk show hosts and other television comics who
trade in political humor know, cracking wise about the new president,
who marked his 100th day in office last week, is apparently not very
funny for most of the people, most of the time. Not surprisingly, to
guard against a frosty or uncertain reception, TV’s leading political
humorists have largely backed away from their ritual comic hazing of
the president, a colorful tradition in the medium, especially in its
late-night time slots, since at least the Nixon administration.”If
you’re a comedian and you die and go to heaven, Bill Clinton is your
president,” said Robert J. Thompson, director of the Bleier Center for
Television and Popular Culture at Syracuse University. “If you’re a
comedian and you die and go to hell, Barack Obama is your president.”Obama
has cast so many political humorists into a bad spot because he lacks
the obvious defining qualities — both mentally and physically

Its the media that has been treating him as persona non-grata.
If you paid attention to Jon Stewart, you’d get the point of the black out.

“I’m incapable of rage” and the already mention Ron Paul parts got me… funny skit all around!

Congresswoman Michele Bachmann is a strong, independent, intelligent, attractive, areticulate, powerful and accomplished conservative woman.  Forbes Magazine has chosen her as one of the most 100 powerful women in the world.  She finished number 22 behind Oprah (14), Michelle Obama (8) and Hillary (2).  She was also chosen by Time Magazine as one of the most 100 influential Americans, male or female.  This terrifies the liberals who prefer that their women either be “left-wing kooks” or remain quiet, barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen.  The most important reason she should be President, however, is that we would have Kristin Wiig to satirize her for the next 4 to 8 years!  Kiristin Wiig and President Michele Bachmann would have us glued to are television screens every Saturday night!  The laughs they would bring us would bring joy to our souls!

It only goes to prove the point that one should never “mess with Texas!” (For those who do not know, Congressman Ron Paul represents Galvaston Texas!).

The “greater problem” is the sense of humor of Sean68!  The writing and the talent were terriffic!

I disagree!  It was very funny!

Conservatives have magnificent senses of humor and their souls will be going to Heaven!  There may be a few liberals there too!

Conservatives love to be mocked and satirized!  Thir philosophy is “just make sure you spell my name correctly and mention it early and often!”

You forgot Arnold!

I will concede that Mitt Romney is polling well against Obama. Ron Paul is currently second in that regard. The economy will be the main issue next November. BTW, I enjoyed the skit.

theyre finally growing into their characters, ya

You betcha I love Ron Paul!

*rolls eyes* My biggest issue with liberals is how insufferably condescending and obnoxious they are.  They perpetually convince themselves that they are geniuses and everyone else is a moron.  Sorry chief, you are not special.

Not many of the ones I know. They sold them to the Koch Bros.

Didn’t know that Buster Keaton was a sound money, anti-war, freedom lover – you learn something everyday on the Internet!

Ron Paul wins another debate!!

You have to have a soul before you can sell it.

Ron Paul wins another debate!!

“Operation Repo”

Quite a zinger.

Quite a zinger.

 Notice that SNL never does 0bama any more? Or thunderthighs Michelle? Have they EVER done Michelle?

“They were arranged according to polling numbers,” is misinformation. The candidate in the garage consistently polls 3rd place (in a recent CNN poll even 2nd) and won the most straw polls.

FLOTUS big butt joke

AAAAAARGH!

Jimmy Fallon left the show. They stopped doing bush for a while after Will Ferrell left.

One of the reason SNL has been around since 1975 is that skits are so right on the mark.

I was blown away. First, all other candidates were lampooned for their true buffoonishness while Ron Paul is spared, with only the media’s treatment of him being mocked by the parking garage thing. Then they close on “Ron Paul: Ideologically pure and tough as nails” said with a straight face and no punchline…  I’d say that sketch was about as close to an overt and, yes, serious endorsement as SNL could possible give.  And to the author – um…, it’s not murder when you kill people who’re attempting to kidnap you. Or were you trying to be funny? Either way: “fail”

If only you, SNL, vetted all our candidates this way—good job—wouldn’t know who to vote for otherwise! 

P.S.  Why didn’t you vet Obama for us?  Just curious.  And Biden? Jeeze! ‘merica cudda used your help there!  Better yet, you should retain Biden for your show!  2x the laughs/gaffs guaranteed! 

Cheers

Ding Ding.  Come get your treat Rex-ey ol’ pal! The reason we’re in trouble is because of state-owned and trained Pavlovian dogs like you regurgitating your learned bits of phlegm on everyone all the time.  No ‘wonder’ in your god.   Or should I say, dog?

Lets analyze this. Aussie Don has 31 votes as I write compared to 1 for Rex the Wonder Dog, sorry, God. Here’s a challenge for you Dog, uh, God—define crazy and bigot.  Take your time, Dog, I mean, God-Pavlovian finger keeps slipping-no ones expecting anything. You pass no matter how badly you flunk- Not your fault, OK? Just like when you got your GED…no sweat! Just don’t cheat and ask FreedomorBust for help-hint-he’s miserably clueless and a creten at that!

That was sloppy.  Obama will send the drones next time. 

Obama will send in the drones next time.  Had it been Greenspan, doubt RP would’ve survived.

Tell me… why would someone write an article about a SNL skit, and completely dismiss the most unexpected part of the entire thing. The comment at the end of the skit that says “Ron Paul… Ideologically pure and tough as nails”. 

Maybe one of the writers is a Ron Paul supporter? Maybe several of them are? I don’t see why not. I mean most Americans ARE against the wars, want to balance the budget, and want to stop letting the federal reserve print money out of thin air and give trillions of it to their friends on wall street. 

The whole thing was pretty close to where we are right now with these Nominees. 

I loved Ron Paul piece in the car park. Taking those guys out, that was hilarious!!!

the Ron Paul part was so funny! 

Correct spelling MORON.

SNL is now written by art-damaged Swarthmore grads who can’t make head nor tail of Ron Paul (whom I find deranged but it’s a free country). They are just regurgitating something they heard out in the “blogosphere”

The treatment of Bachmann was more interesting since she serves no purpose in the “debates” any more and is just there for media color. I’ve watched a few and still had forgotten Newt Gingrich was running

I do Sean, Ron Paul currently has about 13-15 percent of the GOP voters (prob more than that), and unlike the other candidates those are loyal voters who don’t jump ship every week, most of us will not absorb into the party once the “front-runner” is picked, however, the same can’t be said the other way around, the other GOP voters have loyalty to the party only and will vote for whoever the nominee is. So if you nominate a Romney, Cain, whoever, say goodbye to our 15% which I’d say you need. Bad as Obama is he still has a huge blind following that thinks he’s doing a good job, you guys are underestimating him.

Ron Paul is the only candidate who really knows what’s going on and is willing to do what’s right without worrying about political fallout.
