Best Crasstalk Memes of 2011

It’s the end of the year so of course everyone is rolling out their respective best of lists. Let’s be honest though. Do we really care about every list on the “best of list?” No! So how about we give a shout to the memes some new, some maybe a little older, that made Crasstalk a fun place to hang out. Sure, we could talk about the rest of the world, but really, the stuff that happens in the Crasstalk world is really just as much fun, or at least we probably think so. Navel grazer!

HA! Let’s do this, man. Continue reading

What the Hell do You Mean, There’s No Santa Claus?

Here’s a heartwarming story about the rotten kids on the playground. When I was in third grade -maybe eight or so – I was sitting with my friends on the play ground at school on a blustery December day. We were discussing important issues of the day – what Star Trek re-run would be on this afternoon, Planet of the Apes, could the Six Million Dollar Man BE more awesome, and Christmas. A small herd of mewling, weeping first-graders ran by, pursued by savage, laughing fifth- and sixth-graders. First-graders are natural playground prey animals, and we tried to ignore this whole scene, lest the big kids turn their savagery on us. Unfortunately, one of the kids – a loutish brute who lived down the street from me – detached himself from the pack and came over to us.

Terrifying Man-Mummy Humanity’s Only Hope Against Newtpocalypse, or, Hey, What’s the Deal With Ron Paul?

Bronze Age Congressman Ron Paul reclines in his sarcophagus, awaiting America's call.
Loathsome space-slug Leroy Newton Gingrich stands astride the GOP political landscape like a moist, unpleasant colossus. The other candidates are struggling to escape being crushed by his terrible bulk, with limited success. Willard “10K” Romney has erected a fortress made of $100 bills, where he uses a solid gold megaphone that once belonged to the Shah of Iran to shout increasingly contradictory messages to confused Iowa peasants. This appears to be no more effective than his previous media effort, which consisted largely of loading a trebuchet with Susan B. Anthony dollars and firing it into crowds. Willard has devolved into the ineffectual love-child of Richie Rich and C-3PO. Michelle Bachmann has begun praying in an effort to alter Earth’s gravity. Rick Perry, in an attempt to harness the awesome power of nonsense, has vowed to fight a chicken with his own hands if that’s what it takes to stop Gingrich. Ricky Santorum is running around in tiny circles, and  presumably criticizing Gingrich as well, but only small excitable dogs can hear his high-pitched squeals. Some of the Republican party’s senior grifters are beginning to panic at the prospect of a vile space-gangster with an insatiable appetite for Earth-women as the party standard-bearer.

Jimmy Kimmel is Probably Going to Hell

If you’re looking for some laugh out loud funny, here it is! Reprising his hilarious Halloween gag on kids, Jimmy Kimmel on his show last week asked parents to trick their kids and give them an early Christmas gift – the catch is, the gifts suck. Gifts include half eaten sandwiches, a potato, and an empty ice container. The kid’s reactions are fairly unsurprising, including tears, but what are a few children crying when you get your YouTube giggles for the day? Comment.

Republican Debate Recap: Who Can Stop Gingrich? Not These Yokels

Newt Gingrich laughs at your puny threats.

The GOP candidates met for the jillionth time for a televised debate in Des Moines, Iowa Saturday night. Vile space-gangster Newton Leroy Gingrich emerged largely unscathed after verbal tussles with former Massachusetts protocol droid Willard “10 K” Romney, youtube laughingstock Rick Perry, and the gold-obsessed, keening mummy-wraith Ron Paul. Michele Bachmann and Ricky Santorum also pummeled the porcine disgraced former House Speaker with their tiny fists, but to no avail. Continue reading

Live! Republican Debate, Now with Extra Newtmentum!

GOP Front runner Newt Gingrich fears no man!

The Republican Presidential Campaign Clown Car makes a stop in Iowa tonight so the candidates can fling poo at loathsome frontrunner  Newt Gingrich debate. This will, sadly, be a Herman Cain-less affair, since Cain dropped out of the race last week to get divorced spend more time with his family or whatever. On the plus side, though, they all get to bask in the glory of newly-minted frontrunner, disgraced former House Speaker and reptilian man-slug Newton Leroy Gingrich. How exciting that will be! Watch Rick Perry pester Gingrich with non-sensical drivel!  See thousand-year-old mummy Ron Paul curse Gingrich with eldritch spells and rants about the Federal Reserve!  Behold Rick Santorum do nothing at all! Oh, and Mitt Romney will be there as well.

Open Caption: Ebony and Ivory Edition

It’s been a while since we’ve poked fun at a GOP Presidential Candidate photo. This image is stuffed with possibility as tightly as Newt is packed into that suit. Tight like Mrs. Cain holding her fingers to her ears when you try to explain to her what “Running Game” and “Fronting” mean. You guys know the rules: There aren’t any rules, just don’t not be funny.
