I swear, Mallard Fillmore is the fucking funniest comic strip ever!
Edited on Tue Feb-20-07 07:32 PM by Rabrrrrrr
Sweet Jesus, I just about gag myself and get a hernia from laughing every fucking time I read it.

Pure wit! Pure brilliance! Some of the most bitingly spot-on satire I've ever read!

Bloom County? Calvin and Hobbes? Doonesbury? Far Side? Morans.

I mean, check out this side-splitting gem:

or this wittily topical piece of perfection:

Goddamn, they should make this comic strip illegal or at least come with a warning "Caution: So funny you MIGHT DIE!"

5. That first one makes no fucking sense at all.
The middle class is the fucking BACKBONE of the Democratic party.

Whoever does that strip needs to look at some voter registration statistics.

12. None of 'em make any sense.
He put in a picture of Reagan on President's Day, saying "It's president's day - I can pick my favorite one".

They all suck. It's the unfunniest, worst strip ever. And not just because I disagree with the rightwing politics, but because it's so poorly done. It's not humor, it's just meanness, and quite often, meanness based on lying.

3. Thanks for the sarcasm but we know that Mallard Fillmore is right wing garbage
posing as "humor."

It's a joke folks in case you haven't seen this strip. Very unfunny, misleading, totally right wing Repuke stuff and completely false.

don't waste your time.

Put it down, and back away slowly. Keep your hands where I can see them.

15. Tinsley thinks up his "humor"
While he's drunk.

(Hey, he's got 2 DUI's already, both in the span of 4 months!)

20. Did you catch the recent series?
It's in the Journal-Sentinel and I read it every day in a "car wreck on the interstate" sort of way. But anyway, he ran a series for an entire week seemingly tying to promote conservative columnist Walter Williams to run for President. I kept imagining Williams himself reading the strip and wondering "Who in the hell is this asswipe?"

24. Ah, good 'ol Carlos:
38. Carlos Mencia

Charges: A German-Honduran who pretends to be Mexican so he can engage in jovial slurs about "beaners" and "wetbacks." Repeatedly says "what?" and "no, I'm serious!" during his stand up routines, as if his audience is blown away by his tiresome retreading of age-old ethnic and gender clichés and his bellowing one-note delivery. Imagines himself to be some kind of envelope-pushing genius despite the fact that his entire body of work is a series of variations on the hackneyed "white guys do this, black guys do this" routine that has launched a thousand careers in stand-up mediocrity. What's that you say, Carlos? Asians can't drive? Gee, we've never heard that before. A well-known joke thief, Mencia can't even write his own shitty, hackneyed material.

Exhibit A: Actual name is Ned Holness.

Sentence: Deported to Mexico.

27. From what I hear, Mallard Fillmore is every bit as hilarious as...
Joel Surnow's “The 1/2 Hour News Show” seen on Faux Newz


I think once they've farted, they're out of material...........

31. Thankfully, it's right on the fold in the LA Times,
so when I'm doing the Sudoku (above the fold) and the Crossword (below) I never actually have to see the entire cartoon at once.
