Mitt Romney Gets April Fools Day PRANK’D

Posted on Apr 2nd, 2012 by Gabe Delahaye 18 Comments

Hahaha. Yikes! Pranks are the worst, always. They are mean-spirited and rude and they almost always play on the simple fact that someone else cares enough about you in some way or another to actually TRUST you, and that’s where they fall for your amazing TRICKS because they’re such goddamned IDIOTS! And pranks on April 1st are no exception, although I guess you have a little bit of wiggle room when you try and weasel your way out of the emotional damage your saran wrap on the toilet seat has caused. “I basically was forced into pranking you by Mr. Calendar!” All of that being said, if you are going to play a prank on a presidential nominee, this is a pretty good one. (See also: “we need to get you to safety, sir, there has been another 9/11!” So fun and funny.) But how bad does Mitt Romney wish he already had the nuclear codes in this clip? If only he had the retaliatory nuclear codes. “Good one guys. I don’t have the nuclear codes yet, so this was a very funny joke!” He’s just tapping out morse code on his thigh. Wishing. Dreaming. If only. NUCLEAR CODES, PLEASE, SO I SHALL NEVER BE EMBARRASSED AGAIN! Use it, Mitt Romney. Channel it into hilarious comedy. There you go. (Via GotchaMedia.)

Things we know about Gabe:

1) He hates pranks

2) He has self-confessed father issues.

Sounds like SOMEBODY is still bitter that he fell for the old “we’re going to Disney World” bit.

You beat me to #3. And I thought I was special!

I contest argument #2. He hasn’t directed a movie about her yet.

The greatest prank Mitt Romney ever pulled was convincing the world he actually has a shot at the presidency.

Or maybe his greatest prank was convincing all you liberal hippies that he doesn’t.

Calling someone a “liberal hippie” because they don’t like Mitt Romney is almost as bad as calling someone a “right wing nutjob” because they don’t like Barack Obama.
