Sesame Street: Parody Compilation | Movies, TV, & Songs

My Heart Will Go On (Soviet Edition)

noims says...

To be fair, I'd rather listen to this than the original.

To me the original's only redeeming feature is that you can imagine Grover singing part of it on Sesame Street.

Sesame Street: Game of Chairs (Game of Thrones Parody)

If someone would have told me years ago, as I read the first book of an at-the-time relatively unknown story, that one day, Grover would perform a slapstick parody of the same story I'm not sure I would have believed them.

Making cocaine in Colombia

Trancecoach says...

Yes, you're ignored, and I read your comment anyway.

No, in saying "use drugs," I was not "implying cannabis." I said "use drugs" because I meant "use drugs." Rather than trying to interpret or 'read into' what I'm saying, it might help if you responded to my post, and not what you post in your mind on my behalf.

And I will take you up on your 'challenge:' below is a list of ten "highly intelligent" people who have used cocaine (note: at no point did I say "encourages the use of cocaine." I said "use drugs" without becoming addicted, and being able to function), so that you can provide me with 10,000 more** whose lives and families have been destroyed by it. (**And note here, we're talking about individuals whose lives were destroyed by the use of cocaine itself, and not by the pointless drug laws that imprison people for having a mental or emotional condition that provokes "self-medication" as a form of treatment. Nor are we talking about the illegal status of cocaine which, itself, gives rise to violent cartels that function in the shadow of its legal status.)

So, while certainly many of the following list of "highly intelligent" (non-cognitively deficient) and successful "celebrities" may no longer be using cocaine, all of the following have used cocaine and are/were not addicted and function(ed) just fine:

Sigmund Freud
Thomas Edison
Oprah Winfrey
Stephen King
Tim Allen
Hunter S. Thompson
Angelina Jolie
Robert Louis Stevenson
Steven Tyler
Robert Downey, Jr.

There are others (like William Burroughs, Eric Clapton, Grover Cleveland, David Crosby, Arthur Conan Doyle, Isadora Duncan, Ulysses S Grant, Abbie Hoffman, Elton John, King George V, Larry Kudlow, Sir Paul McCartney, & Barack Obama), but I thought I'd stop at 10.

And if you post the 10,000 names of those whose lives and families were destroyed by cocaine (and not by the pointless drug laws or its illegal status) by the end of the week, I'll take your point.

mxxcon said:

"use drugs" and "use cocaine" are extremely different things. I'm sure in your statement you intentionally and covertly implied cannabis.
However, having said that, for every "highly intelligent" person that you'd show me who encourages the use of cocaine, I'll show you 1000 more that had their lifes and families destroyed by it. For every 1 "highly intelligent" person you show me that did not get addicted to cocaine, I'll show you 1000 more that did.

Alas, I'm ignored, so have a good cocaine-filled day, crackhead.

Dan Savage Plans on Continuing to Inseminate His Husband

bareboards2 says...

Grover Norquist and Connie Mack, former U.S. Representative for Florida's 14th congressional district (R).

And yes. One of my favorite bits in this, their reactions. It's the same face I make when I think about Norquist's no tax pledge, which Mack signed. Exactly the same. Followed by screaming.

MilkmanDan said:

I don't know who the other two dudes on the panel were, but their reaction shots to the titular line from Savage were fantastic. Make 'em squirm, Dan!

Anonymous Responds To Sandy Hook School Shooting

chingalera says...

Meet someone who does not identify with right, left, or any other meaningless dipole...whose opinion is shaped by an inner dialogue and multi-sensory experiential reasoning tinctured with freedom of movement and expression, in an ever-changing constant of evolution:
"NRA, Grover Norquist, Rush Limbauh. and Fox" are constructs of something you believe according to your particular developmental disability which have some sort of effect on the OTHER star-bellied sneetches with more (OB-viouslaaay!) going on upstairs, be it through mo edumacation or proximity or distance from some geographical region of the country over another.

How many more ways can you say fucked, when the distillation of all these incidents as we continue the experiment becomes only:
Police
Soldiers
Private Security
Prison Guards.....who are allowed to carry weapons?

Fuck that world, until guns are not part of the paradigm, fuck that fucking world and those who would that it be that world conveniently for themselves, today...for instance, anyone trying to pass legislation that seeks to limit rights and create laws telling people what they can't do, rather than increase personal responsibility through shaping a society and culture worth saving.

Anonymous Responds To Sandy Hook School Shooting

VoodooV says...

Anonymous is quite literally....anyone.

Why should we listen to just....anyone.

Just like....anyone else, there are things we will agree with and there will be things we disagree with. Anything else is mindless obedience. Kinda like the mindless obedience the right has to the NRA, Grover Norquist, Rush Limbauh. and Fox.

No one elected these assholes, yet for some reason, they have more influence over our government than it's own voters.

Tax the Rich: An animated fairy tale

VoodooV says...

Funny. no one is saying we shouldn't cut spending. It seems rather arbitrary for you to say we should cut spending FIRST. Why can't we do both cut spending and tax increases? Why should it matter what "order" they go in? Rational people would hit it from both ends.

Or are you just playing childish partisan games again. Even the right is finally breaking ranks and giving the middle finger to Grover Norquist. So your opinions are in the minority and as you well know, the minority opinion doesn't go far in a democracy.

The reality is that the tax burden on the wealthy has declined steadily over the last few decades. The economy was doing great when taxes were higher, so your argument does not reflect reality as usual.

looks like you've bitten off more than you can chew again.

bobknight33 said:

Sounds like your argument is more about wage in equality. I don't disagree with that. Wages for the middle have been going backwards for 3 decades. Can some companies pay workers more? GE, Wal-Mart, McDonald's sure could and many others.

But to say that the rich are not paying enough of the burden I say BS.
Cut Government spending first.

Professor Robert Thurman's Meme

bareboards2 says...

“95% of the congressmen and Republican senators have sworn a written oath to someone called Grover Norquist and an organization called American For Tax Reform; that they will under no circumstances, and for no reason, raise taxes of any kind on anyone. And therefore they have taken an oath to an outside organization which is not supported by the U.S. Constitution – which gives Congress the right to levy taxes, to do the work of the people through the government –but this is a non governmental organization, not elected by anybody and supported by big money people who are making money by not having to pay taxes"

“And these people have signed a sworn oath that contradicts their oath of office. And therefore, in fact, they do have mental reservations, and they do have purpose of evasion and they are not sincerely taking their oath of office. And if they persist in that, and if they are held to that by this outside person who is not a member of the government, then they are, in fact, breaking their oath of office and they are not serving what they swore to serve the American people.”

“…they must, as a single body, reject their oath to Grover Norquist, renounce that oath in order to retake their oath of office; sincerely, without mental reservation, and without purpose of evasion; which is what they must do to be reinstated in our good graces, the people of the United States, of whom they are the employee.”
