2016: The Year poeTV Renewed Their Passports

I still don't get what people have against Trump. Dude was a lifelong Democrat and a close personal friend of the Clintons. He's unlikely to challenge any of President Obama's core policies (Guantanamo Bay, executive orders, perpetual war etc), and the first time things go tits up under Trump's benevolent guidance, we could all blame the Republicans, just like we did in the good ol' days.

He's the hero we need, AND the hero we deserve.

This Pornstar would concur..

At this point, I would trade the Devil's Homer act for Enjoy. At least Enjoy was good at emulating real life FOX news arguments that you could practice on.

Nominal - I'm a little confused as to why you think I'm "emulating a FOX news argument". I'm not sure if Fox has EVER mentioned Trump's past association with the Democratic Party, nor the millions in financial backing he's given to the Clintons (people who are now being billed as his "arch-rivals") over the years. Fox, as with America's other media oligarchies, rarely if ever breaks kayfabe, and if such out-of-storyline observations were made in the past, I'm sure they've been long-since buried down Murdoch's memory hole.

If I wanted to "play the Devil's Homer" and "emulate a Fox News argument", I'd say something like...

Trump is a successful billionaire! He's going to save the country by restoring the Constitution, and getting rid of all the Mexicans!

... which of course isn't true. He's going to wind up doing all the same things his BFF Hillary would do, e.g. continuing to ignore the Constitution, and using convenient partisan scapegoats in whatever way is necessary to expand the scope of the security state. ( but no, I miss Enjoy too. )


IZ - that's an interesting article! I knew people who did that back during the "Bush vs Gore" run-up (to no avail, of course). It's just too bad that Mr Jackman hopes, earnestly and without a shred of irony, that the next election will be between Hillary "love WalMart, bomb Syria" Clinton and Donald "fear Mexicans, bomb Syria" Trump.

^ to everyone who ever missed Homer's worthless shtick

For you.

Seriously, who's idea was this?

Did anyone keep the receipt?

Amazing that was his first theatrical release movie role.

Track down the original version (if he starts laughing during the sorting hat scene it's the OG). It's way funnier because he is just getting drunk and reading it off a piece of paper and it has a way better energy as a result, but he's done his best to wipe it from the web since he did the second version that's more common. Or a least he had a few years ago, he might not care anymore.

There was/is a torrent of the original version synced to the movie with a couple of edits to keep the sync from drifting, and it's pretty good. I ended up shifting the audio a second or so and feel like it lines up better that way but it's loose enough to begin with that it doesn't matter too much.


I couldn't give a crap about Harry Potter but I count first draft Wizard People in my top 10 favorite movies of all time, no question. Works pretty well as an audiobook, too.

Oh good, it's on Youtube now, no longer hard to get.
