[My Favorite Headache]

The Triumph skit was the funniest thing I have ever seen on Conan.

[My Favorite Headache]

That is the french scum that was bashing Bush on the street and gave the finger to Triumph...

[hgro]

Since when are the French a "race"?

They lost the race!!

[Senormechanico]

Druggies are "headphones".

[RightWingAtheist]

He didn't need to. We already have our own petulant and obnoxious comedians making ignorant remarks about Americans on taxpayer-supported TV.

[RightWingAtheist]

Newfoundland is Canada's answer to the Deep South. Everything they do is regarded as an object of derision, and "stupid Newfie" "jokes" are a dime a dozen. Because they're mostly white, mostly Christian, and mostly live in traditional, non-urban communities, the elitists in Montreal and Toronto make fun of them as much as they feel fit.

[Tacis]

It is OK. All the nasty, dirty, crude, scruffy or arrogant French Canadians are in Florida this week bitching about the exchange rate and all the Spanish speakers, so they won't notice.

[Johnny_Cipher]

And Democrats with a small "package" are microphones.

[Libertarian444]

This editorial is great.... For me to poop on!

[Dajjal]

I love the way the French Canadians are all in a tizzy because they've been insulted by a sock puppet!!!

LOL!!!

[Levante]

"Obviously, the Francophones are a "protected" liberal group in Canada. No making funny noises around them..."

Just makes you want to fart in Quebec's general direction.

[Cronos]

By Dictionary Definitions, the French, Germans, English etc. constitute different races.

[Cronos]

The French is a race? Last I checked they were Caucasian, albeit the weakest of the Caucasians.......

Arabs are Caucasians as well....

[Cronos]

How can it be racist? French Canadians are as White as Conan is and as white as the hand that holds the puppet. You are all the same race dimwits.

Here's the dictionary definition of race from http://www.bartleby.com/61/39/R0003900.html

Race NOUN:

1. A local geographic or global human population distinguished as a more or less distinct group by genetically transmitted physical characteristics. 2. A group of people united or classified together on the basis of common history, nationality, or geographic distribution: the German race. 3. A genealogical line; a lineage. 4. Humans considered as a group. 5. Biology a. An interbreeding, usually geographically isolated population of organisms differing from other populations of the same species in the frequency of hereditary traits. A race that has been given formal taxonomic recognition is known as a subspecies. b. A breed or strain, as of domestic animals. 6. A distinguishing or characteristic quality, such as the flavor of a wine.

[Cronos]

No, but if you insulted Jews in Paris, I bet you'd get big laughs from the French.

I don't think so. They have stringent anti-semitic laws. However, whenArabs are the ones doing the insulting it is ignored -- maybe because Arabs are semites too... ;-P

[albee]

Hey, Canuck-Frenchies! Why don't you go call a WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMBULANCE?

[wita]

I couldn't agree more, and we shouda annexed canada years ago, all except for that teeny tiny area that considers itself french.

Use right-click, save target as.
I defy you to not laugh.

The vid is Triumph visiting a bunch of Star Wars fans in line for one of the new movies. It is a total riot!

[wita]

Speaking of your tagline, my wife and I have a standing joke about Hasenpfeffer. I don't think we made it right, because we now call it vinegar rabbit.

[hershey]

Me, too.
