This is really, really funny:
Well, actually, it's not even a little funny...

I wouldn't say that I'm the funniest person I know - unless, of course, people laughing at you counts as being 'funny'. I'm one of those people who occasionally has good moments, but really, I'm funniest when I don't intend to be. Like that one time I was making fun of a friend's over-exposed…
I got a phone call a little while ago from one of my comedian buddies, Don Reese. Don is a very funny stand up comic and he's coming to perform here in Michigan for the next couple weeks.

In this case, there seems to be an almost implicit Godwin's Law going on. It seems like there are actual political opponents being compared to Nazis in this even if just implicitly. That's not cool.
Joshua - If you do not lighten up, you will be forced to go to the Comedy Re Education Camp and undergo a re-grooving dude!
thank you very good.
Josh: It is helpful to contextualize this. I'm posting two other videos by the same person (tomorrow?) which may do that. Or, you can click through to YouTube and watch them. The Republican Homeland one is highly recommended. You will pee in your pants laughing, and that pee will wash away all concern regarding the Hitler=Opposition link.
