Hope this is okay, but I found myself thinking of this Comm when I watched this and laughed, and we can always use something to alleviate some of the rage over something so ridiculous.

This was an awesome segment.

Will watch when I get home.

Also, I floved the segment last week or two weeks about about Arizona's ethnic studies law.

Madrigal did that one as well, I believe.

This is brilliant :D

"I think the Johnsons amendment is an outragous attack on personal liberty from the government. One, it would be a huge free choice issue. Basically, the government is telling a man what he can and cannot do with his body."

I just LOLed so hard.

That kid in the front row of the panel of teenage boys makes the best faces.
doverz 12th-Apr-2012 08:51 pm (UTC)
OMG, I loved that kid.
romantic_india 12th-Apr-2012 06:55 pm (UTC)
Thanks for the lolz. :D

Now I have to wonder what this lady would do in reaction to the fact of women losing egg cells about once a month. Should all women be knocked up all the time as soon as they are able to? After all, we wouldn't want to waste oh so valuable and totally rare resources...
sesmo 12th-Apr-2012 07:09 pm (UTC)
She did it to trigger the reaction she got from Mr. Shortey, about how this is an imposition of the government on the man's body. It was beautiful.

That stinks. :( Would you care for a transcript?

"Let's talk about the real victims of a draconian legislation: [cut to a group of white boys]."
Love it so much.

I woke my roommate up at that point, I was laughing so hard.

I love Al. He is one of the best long-form/story telling comedians out there today. It's a hard thing to pull off since there's so much risk but when he kills, he really fucking kills in the best of all ways.
doverz 12th-Apr-2012 07:18 pm (UTC)
ITA. I also loved his segment about Arizona's ethnic studies law.
scolaro 12th-Apr-2012 07:16 pm (UTC)
This...was priceless!
mskye OT, but...12th-Apr-2012 07:24 pm (UTC)
Is anyone else still disappointed that the Daily Show didn't ever mention Santorum dropping the n-word?
jesskat Re: OT, but...12th-Apr-2012 07:34 pm (UTC)
Definitely. I wonder if they missed it because it went largely ignored by the mainstream media. Then again, the Twitter outrage would have been hard to miss so IDK.
jesskat 12th-Apr-2012 07:32 pm (UTC)
This was wonderful segment. I'm just afraid a lot of people still won't get the point and will just go: "See? Their personhood amendment would be so much worse, we're not that bad!". The guy being interviewed certainly seemed clueless about the irony of what he was saying about bodily rights.
mskye 12th-Apr-2012 07:44 pm (UTC)
The ability of people to willfully miss the point should never be underestimated.

This is THE best response.

eep, the video autoplays when I go to my friends page

I kind of wish that I lived in Oklahoma so that I could vote for Constance Johnson. I'd vote for her for everything, including things she wasn't actually running for. Sheriff, judge, pope, whatever. I just really want to vote for her.
captain_emily 13th-Apr-2012 01:21 am (UTC)
And the fact that she can say all of this without breaking out her troll face is beautiful.
snarksnarklaugh 13th-Apr-2012 02:18 am (UTC)
I saw this yesterday. Kid in the glasses just about killed me with laughter.
phoenixblaze 13th-Apr-2012 03:32 am (UTC)
I saw the rerun of this earlier when I got in from work this morning and DIED. So well done.

How would one make a gif from a streaming daily show clip?
If anyone knows how to make gifs from streaming videos, I'd sure like to know. It's such a pain to pirate the episode to make a gif.





If someone can make an awesomer one that captures the comedic timing, please do!
