Fall-out-of-your-chair funny (but warning warning warning)

Warning: Has to do with politics. 

Also: Incredibly gross. Feel free to skip! 

First, a picture of a roadrunner in a tree; click for larger:


So yeah, I'm still trying to avoid the news. But I did see that Paramount (as far as it seems) fired Colbert to appease Tangerine Palpatine. 

Somehow, the South Park team took that news and turned it into their season premiere (Rolling Stone coverage; there are many others). They have Jesus [sic] explicitly call out what Paramount did to Colbert:

“You guys saw what happened to CBS? Well, guess who owns CBS? Paramount. You really want to end up like Colbert? You guys got to stop being stupid,” Jesus continues, before referencing the Trump character. “He also has the power to sue and take bribes and he can do anything to anyone. It’s the f**king president, dude… South Park is over.”

(It is useful to know South Park; e.g., that previously, Satan was in a relationship with Saddam Hussein. But you don't need to know anything.)

BTW, you can watch the full episode on Paramount+. LOL. I don't know how long that will last, and how long these clips below will be on YouTube.

This YouTube clip from the show is cartoon gross but very funny.

You can't unsee this if you click: This YouTube clip is the end of the show, and in it, the South Park team disgustingly uses generative AI (at 0:54) to create what is the funniest thing I've seen since South Park: Bigger, Longer, Uncut. (Which, in retrospect, is really tame and quaint.) Anne had to ask if I was OK; I was literally falling out of my chair with laughter. 

What a time we live in.
