We’ve been having so much fun laughing at all the political humor, that it’s easy to forget that elections are serious business.
Last night, my kids stayed up late with me to watch Saturday Night Live’s Presidential Bash (see SNL video clips.) What’s a little sleep when history is being made?
Of course, I also watched SNL with my Twitter buddies. It’s more fun when you can watch and critique with an audience. Unfortunately, I lost them pretty quickly. They didn’t find the show nearly as entertaining as I did, probably because most of the material was still new to me, but a repeat for regular SNL viewers.
Some of the skits - such as the Palin Rap or the Democratic Debate - had the same appeal as a car crash has for rubberneckers, you want to look away but you just can’t.
ROFL Political Humor
Never before, have I laughed as much as I have in the 2008 Presidential Election. I linked some of my favorite videos in The Funniest Political Campaign.
Now, Amy Jussel of Shaping Youth, has collected a few more in this rare look at Obama and McCain as you’ve never seen them before (and hopefully never will again!) Here they are, from Political Paper Dolls & Parodies Galore: Youth Humor 2008: Undressed? (Download paper dolls) In a Dance Off? (Obama and McCain Dance Off!)
Election Night On The GNO
By 9PM tonight, EST, the Girls’ Night Out (GNO) crowd will be ready to Rock The Returns, Twitter Style. We’ll be chatting and watching the results, and hopefully playing nice.
Guest Tweets, Cheryl of The Daily Blonde and Beth of GreenStew, have promised to balance our discussion with two sides of the bipartisan perspective. We’ll see how that goes!
