And the world fell to its knees.

If the Vietcong had used this tape to torture Mccain, he would have given up even more war intel.

That was a violation of Walnuts and his recently obtained principles.

Smoke Filled Roommate October 7, 2008 at 2:15 am

Agreed. I couldn’t get through two minutes.. I wish the Kobos was Amy Sedaris.

UglyLoser October 7, 2008 at 2:25 am

Like most sequels, it’s bloated and completely misses the point of the original.

“Keep your bars up, America! In a McCain administration, you’ll never have to ‘roam’ for freedom again”. Sounds dumb, but at least it avoids talking about the economy.

This must be what it’s like when you “spice up” your debate drinking games with ayahuasca… A vision quest of dumbness.

I don’t care what people think, I thought it was epic. And an accurate, as far as his supporters and their views and all of their collective (ir)rationals. The crowd shots and slogans were the best.

This really is a pretty pathetic video. When I come to Wonkette I’m looking for wit, not this drivel.

I’m not that crazy about derivative products ideas. Sure, Truck Nutz are a classic, and Walnutz! was clever, but now we get BrakeNutz. The big markets should be Golfbag Nutz, and especially Mortarboard Nutz, for graduates. If you can’t sell Mortarboard Nutz to grads at U. Texas and U. Oklahoma, you can’t sell meth in Wasilla.

Now I have a strange craving for GrapeNutz.

The video is no longer available for viewing. I therefore the lack courage which America needs in the face of the wrenching, neocon-caused poverty of the 21st century.

Lead singer Julia Kobos was recently graduated from: tiny-yelping-baby murdering, neo-Marxist, piss-urine-yellow-on-our-noble-flag Bennington College. She gained a major in organic oat sprout cultivation and a minor in Che Guevara.

Walnutz is saved! His running mate is Governator up in the Clown-dyke. And she’s all pretty lookin and such as. And you can evaluate her state of arousal through her parka and winter sweater.

I think the book version is still better.

Serolf Divad October 7, 2008 at 5:36 am

I wanted to like it….

The “I believe in God don’t I” guy was pretty good, however.

Darehead October 7, 2008 at 6:23 am

I say it’s a phony. There was no “I’m Walnuts and I approved this message.”

Still, I liked the ride up the wargasm chart.

2druk2phluq October 7, 2008 at 6:43 am

I stumbled into this before 6:00 a.m. I opened the video straight from the news reader thinking, “Oh, cool, a Wonkette recommended visual.” Well, you know what I saw.
Does it ever fucking end?
Worst McCain impression imaginable.
Jesus, am I liveblogging this video?

Coffee, need coffee.
I’ll get you for this, Wonkette.

wheelie October 7, 2008 at 6:43 am

Did you hear the one about Jerome Corsi going to Kenya, and the authorities there detaining him? No? It’s true!

See this BBC story.

Darehead October 7, 2008 at 7:10 am

[re=123192]wheelie[/re]: Haha! Can’t wait to see Wonkette’s graphic on that one!

Darehead October 7, 2008 at 7:17 am

[re=123190]2druk2phluq[/re]: “Worst McCain impression imaginable.”

Has anyone ever seen a McCain impersonation at all, let alone a good one? Where are you, Dana Carvey….?

ExecutorElassus October 7, 2008 at 7:24 am

What was with the big talking-purple-boot dream sequence? I kept hoping it was going to turn into some sort of hideous orgy, like Topless Robot always does. Alas! This just ended up being some over-produced derivative of the gloriously avant-garde original.

C’mon Sal! Challenge us! I need something appalling to roll around in, like that dog does whenever he finds something foul and rotten.

Anita Cocktail October 7, 2008 at 7:27 am

Sucks. Ass.

I watched about 30 seconds. Really, that was unbelievably, incredibly lame. Where were the Oompa-loompas and Harvey-sized bunny rabbits?

A 10-minute Internet video is like a 5-hour movie; it just doesn’t work. Then again, it did inspire this comment: “This really is a pretty pathetic video. When I come to Wonkette I’m looking for wit, not this drivel.”

Rusty Shackleford October 7, 2008 at 9:43 am

[re=123197]ExecutorElassus[/re]: Seriously, it was like a lame ripoff of Aqua Teen Hunger Force, but without the funny.

sanantonerose October 7, 2008 at 9:43 am

I believe in God, don’t I?

Yep. That was the best part.

[re=123157]Smoke Filled Roommate[/re]: Yes, yes, I couldn’t get through that. That’s 10 sec of my life I’d like back.

Also, can we persuade WALNUTS! to go to India so he can become BOLLYNUTS! Or something.

bethby October 7, 2008 at 9:50 am

I waited two years for this?

This will make you all feel better.

Here are the funniest videos I’ve found about this election:

I liked how the bad green screen effects made portions of Walnuts’ head disappear.

lumpenprole October 7, 2008 at 10:36 am

I liked the whole thing. Rising up the wargasm chart was pretty hilarious.

And, zomgz, WTF will I do if my TruckNutz are chipped or scratched?

“The Bumpernuts truck nuts were more expenisve [sic] because they were made of aluminum. Also, they would have been painted on the outside, which I thought would lead to possible chipping or scratching.”

The scale of things that suck now goes like this. Dust Buster —–> Vacum Cleaner ——> Divine Brown ——-> Black Holes ——> Walnuts 2

Dave J. October 7, 2008 at 12:07 pm

As a prof of mine once wrote on one of my papers, “Conciseness is a virtue that ought to be more widely appreciated.”

The genius of the original is that it was quick, to the point, and yet somewhat absurd. This was just… too long. Of course it’s a bad John McCain impression, that’s not the point! Except, the longer it is, the more you notice it’s a pretty bad John McCain impression.

CaptainMorgan October 7, 2008 at 12:09 pm

It’s time to send this maverick to the glue factory!

natteringnaybob October 7, 2008 at 12:09 pm

lame

UglyLoser October 7, 2008 at 12:14 pm

I never understand why these amateur sketch videos are so long. The average sketch on SNL/Kids in the Hall/Mr. Show/whatever is five minutes. The Digital Shorts on SNL are often no longer than three minutes. But these guys who crack their friends up and took a couple classes at Second City always think they’re hilarious enough to sustain seven to ten.

“I believe in God, don’t I?” was the best part. It should have started off with three one-liners from the crowd, then cut to Walnuts. In fact, they should reopen the Final Cut Pro project and cut this shit down to half its length.

emily October 7, 2008 at 2:54 pm

WAIT JUST A DAMN SECOND.

For two years I’ve been operating under the assumption that Walnuts was being played by an awkward adolescent boy with a possible pituitary condition.

YOU ARE TELLING ME THAT IT’S BEEN A GIRL THIS WHOLE TIME? I’m speechless.

Anita Cocktail October 7, 2008 at 3:37 pm

[re=123269]bethby[/re]: I agree. If by “funny” you mean “really stoopid.”

druranium October 7, 2008 at 4:43 pm

I thought it was funny. You are all a bunch of arugalitists.
