The 2008 Election Is Now A Choice Between The Lesser Of Two Unfunny Evils
On last night's episode of Last Comic Standing, the show that makes doing a Hunt for the Worst Show of All Time egregiously unecessary, something outrageous and unbelievable happened. No, no one told a funny joke. (God, that show is the fucking worst. It's like SuperAIDS, but instead of attacking your t-cells it goes after your eyes and brain and instead of killing you it makes you kill yourself.) On last night's episode, our nation's Republican and Democratic presidential candidates, John McCain and Barack Obama, appeared with short, "comedic" appeals to voters. WAIT. WHUUUUUUUUUT? A program that barely even deserved having Jay Mohr as a host, and Jay Mohr is the worst, has somehow become an important stop on the campaign trail? Like, you can't win an election without getting the coveted Last Comic Standing viewer vote? Someone please hit the big red button that sinks America straight to the bottom of Whoops Ocean, because we are done. It's China's turn now.
After the jump, the two saddest campaign ads ever.
John McCain
Barack Obama
I tried to show these to my friend Max Silvestri, but he refused to watch them, saying only "I hope they're both concession speeches." Well hope in one hand and don't vote in the other and see which one fills up with these two idiots debased the dignity of the Presidential office forever first.

i feel your pain, but Jay Mohr is really alright. he does a fantastic Andrew McCarthy impression, for example. certainly not the worst. he's like Dennis Leary, who also looks terrible at first glance but really can do good work. maybe like Rod Stewart?
Score = -1
Jay Mohr is so the ultimate worst, that he should be the ruler of worstness that we measure all other worsts by.

You've really been working the Best Show references lately, Gabe.

It is the only thing I care about. I'm just waiting for that radiogum job to open up and then I am out of here.

I think you actually mean tomorrow night's episode, which means everyone must be warned!

Ha ha, you know when Last Comic Standing is on!

i'm not sure if being able to do a good andrew mccarthy impression (does anyone even know who andrew mccarthy is anymore?) is enough of a skill to keep jay mohr from being the worst.
also, jay mohr being funny looking (which he is) is not what makes him the worst.
him being the worst is what makes him the worst.
sorry to rag on your boyfriend, matt.

Whoever wrote these things or thought they were funny should be stabbed. In the face. With a machete.

I agree with the basic sentiment Johngp, but that's not funny anymore:

i like how you (i) can view obama's, but not mccain's, from outside the u.s.
makes sense, methinks.
Score = 1
what about action? that show was brilliant. nobody is funnier as the self-obssessed douchebag than jay mohr. and it's really fun to laugh at self-obssessed douchebags.
