very obviously doing a joke of his own by pretending like he didn't understand the joke
oh yes
of course
one of those jokes where there's no joke
I actually saw Elvis and Nixon tonight which is more or less that.
It was shockingly good. There were a lot of jokes where there were no jokes, BUT they remained funny-- mostly because it is rife with conversations you could reasonably see Nixon and Elvis having with each other. There were also a lot of jokes that you felt bad for laughing at knowing (assuming you have a basic knowledge of elvis and nixon) that both characters are going to meet unfortunate fates and struggle with the narcissism that colors the movie.
With Donald Trump running for office it's actually a pretty timely comedy.
I think most people would feel like I'm being very generous though, so your mileage may vary.
A magician gives you a ring that, when worn, will let you see the world as it truly is.
However, the ring will never leave your finger, and you will be unable to ever describe to another living person what you see.
Well at least the US isn't going to elect an admitted murderer like the Philippines. What the hell Philippines?
wait what?
edit:
"He recently joked that, as mayor, he should have been first to rape an Australian missionary murdered in a prison riot, but he later apologised."
philippine politics is dominated by machine dynasties by n-th generation politicians who are grow up and live entirely in wealthy, internationalist elite circles rather than "ordinary life"
previous mass movements feel discredited due to the evident inability of repeated People Power Revolutions in metro manila to weaken the corruption of dynastic politics
which is why Duterte deliberately sets out to offend liberal or democratically-minded sensibilities. it is less striking that he does so, but that he gains support by doing so
any similarities to a certain US politician are of course coincidental...
e: should observe the Duterte would be soundly thrashed if Mar Roxas's supporters backed Grace Poe instead
Looks like the Maine Democratic party is making it so Superdelegates are assigned based on vote percentage as opposed to whomever they feel like supporting
The thing is even if every state did this Hillary would still win, so what is the point? It's just Bernie having sour grapes over losing and blaming it on how the party functions rather than accepting the loss.
There's a lot of attention on the injustice inherent in the Superdelegate system and there are a lot of people who will leave the Democratic Party over a perceived misappropriation of that system to deny their candidate, regardless of who it is.
Some parts of the Democratic Party seem to be aware they are fighting for the continued relevance of the party. Some are in denial.
I wasn't aware that your guy losing would set you into permanent histrionics mode.
I am not, nor have I ever been, a registered Democrat. Because I have long had issues with the party.
Oh well yeah it's going to wither and die without you. I think if it can survive 2004 it'll probably weather just about anything.
I mean sure. But the parties are overwhelmingly populated by older voters. So uh.
The idea that the democrats are in trouble because of Bernie losing is asinine. They're on the cusp of scoring a sixteen year shutout
Yeah, the trends are certainly bearing that out. Oh wait. I mean you could be right. But that's not how the US political system works. In fact whoever wins will have a higher chance of being the target of an assassination attempt than winning a second term, based on the trends.
What the hell are you even talking about right here?
Based on historical trends there's a 100% chance that the next President will be the target of an assassination attempt. Similarly, based on historical trends there's a 6% chance of a party winning back-to-back second terms. The only time a party has won more than two consecutive multiple terms since the Democratic-Republicans pulled off their three-peat is FDR-Truman.
Look, you guys love to argue "the trends bear this out!" But freak out when the trends indicate you're wrong. Pick one stance and stick with it, please.

"He recently joked that, as mayor, he should have been first to rape an Australian missionary murdered in a prison riot, but he later apologised."
Dude... what?
He also said that he'd murdered three people about three months ago.

Duterte is the kind of candidate that you can point at to make Trump look relatively good. And he's en route to winning the elections today. Sorry, everyone.
Davao Death Squads are his private army that cleaned up his city by killing drug addicts and sellers. He also promises to eradicate crime and drugs in the Philippines within 6 months (a statement which he later amended to "reduce crime and drugs").
When the Australian ambassador took umbrage at his rape joke, he challenged him (and the US envoy) to pull out of the country if he wins. Never mind the fact that Australia has been one of the Philippines's closest international allies.
So why is he enjoying a 30+% score in surveys? Because his opponents are:
1) Miriam Santiago - a veteran senator whose experience and educational background could've scored her a lead in the polls if it weren't for 1) she has Stage 4 cancer and 2) she chose Bongbong Marcos for her running mate. Name sounds familiar? He's the son of the last dictator we kicked out in 1986, and we still haven't gotten back what they stole from the Philippines.
2) Grace Poe - a first time senator with no prior experience, and who suffered controversy because of her citizenship. She does look the cleanest among them, though. (Fun fact: she's the daughter of one Fernando Poe, Jr., basically a very very famous action star from the 50s up to 2000. He ran for President last time, lost to Arroyo, claimed he was cheated, and died.)
3) Jejomar Binay - former mayor of Makati City, whose rise to become the Philippines' business center is something he claims to be entirely due to him. Suffered a hell of a barrage of allegations on widespread corruption late last year, but he's still confident he'll win the presidency.
4) Mar Roxas - the current administration's candidate. He claims a lot of things, but people are wary of him, and tired of the current administration. His calls to Poe and Binay to "unify against evil (eg Duterte)" hilariously backfired.
Six years under the current administration, and people are willing to overlook Duterte's many many faults because they hate the other candidates that much. I'm broadly generalizing, but that's basically it.

Yep, pretty much accurate!
Also, more fun facts!
1) After his rape joke, his daughter came to his defense, saying that she was raped before, and she didn't mind the joke. Duterte then retorts that she's being a drama queen.
2) Duterte's camp ultimately issued an apology for the rape joke. A few days later, though, Duterte says that the apology was made without his approval and he wasn't sorry at all! Then they issue another statement, this time Duterte's finally apologising for the joke.
3) Duterte also said that he's willing to give Marcos, Sr. a funeral at our "Heroes' Cemetery" (think Arlington Nation Cemetery).
4) Duterte will board a jetski and personally plant the Philippine Flag at one of our disputed islands in the South China sea if the talks with China don't pan out.
The current count is
#1 - Duterte: 7 million-ish votes
#2/3 - Poe and Roxas: 4 million-ish votes each
#4 - Binay: who the fuck cares
#5 - Santiago: too fucking low

The NBA and Hornets have gone on record condemning the law though.

I suspect it factored pretty heavily in Georgia's governor vetoing their bathroom law as they are supposed to get a new football stadium in the future, are already building a new baseball stadium, and I suspect would like to use those venues for major events.

The bush presidency was fun.
This bit was amazing.
Almost every standup comedian in the 90s had a take on Clinton and Lewinsky. The comedy world does just fine with both parties.
Those Lewinsky jokes were always really bad/tasteless though.
The only good one might have been that whole media circus with Tom Green.
