time comes undone

Finally got wind of this video. It grows in funny with each viewing:

I know, I know, it’s so easy — and some would say unfair — to laugh at these nutty religious rants, but this sample is just so exemplary in its comedic elements that I think it rises to the top. It’s the creme de la crazy! It’s like she spouted fragments of stuff she’s heard on AM radio but couldn’t pull it together into a coherent rant. She’s got the closer down — stinking hellhole of sin really catches the ears — but the stuff leading up to it just don’t wash. And I can’t figure out if that bobblehead dude in the background is in full agreement or is on the verge of cracking up. Either way, his contribution to the funny is key.

I love how she sets up the intellectuals as the obvious enemy, and I love even more how the commenters on this video are all surprised by it. Don’t they know there’s a culture war going on? The other side does. Intellectual is commonly accepted code language for “educated liberal nogoodnik.” And her reference to that old open-to-everybody hippie stuff is code language for “god hates fags.”

Earth to crazy lady: Jesus thinks you’re an intolerant bore. If you want to shut down a stinking hole of vile putrification, close your mouth.

People who use the word ’shoot’ in reference to sending emails are assholes. Shoot you an email? How about I just shoot you, you asshole.

That’s the latest post to my new favorite RSS feed: everyoneisanasshole.com. A more perfect funny has never been hatched.

To put my own personal stamp on this post, here are the asshole descriptions that currently or used to describe me:

1. people who use and send glittery graphics

2. technical people who humiliate non-technical people

3. retail hipster douchebags with pretty good taste in music

4. people in shared living situations who sing at the top of their lungs at 3am

5. people who email coworkers to nitpick their mistakes and CC their boss

6. little kids who tell other little kids santa isn’t real

7. students who finish the work faster than you can and leave early to prove it

I guess what I’m trying to say is that I am a septuple asshole. My assholetry is unimpeachable. If there were an asshole of the year award, and it hadn’t already been given to Alberto Gonzales, I’d be a shoo-in.

I’ve decided to start an inspirational list of my favorite assholes from TV and film. I’m sure I will think of many more the second after I click post.

Garfield
Q on Star Trek
Dr. Cox on Scrubs
Jay Lovitz on The Critic
Stephen Colbert on Strangers With Candy
Larry David on Curb Your Enthusiasm
Tommy Lee Jones in Cobb
Alec Baldwin in Glengarry Glen Ross
Christopher Walken in Batman Returns
Bette Midler in Big Business
Meryl Streep in The Devil Wears Prada
Equal parts Christina Ricci and Joan Cusak in Addams Family Values

I’m a sucker for a skillful cut-down. Keep firing, assholes!
