The Bliss and Agony of the Babylon Bee | BONUS VIDEO

This is so funny

Another dud

I actually recently was reading the Bee and now have a favorite article: Nation's Lesbians Announce Plan to Go to the Zoo Today (https://babylonbee.com/news/nations-lesbians-announce-plan-to-go-to-the-zoo-today). I like that the headline paints a kind of beautiful, idyllic image. And I like that the text, which is the author talking incredulously about how much lesbians love zoos, is a total nonsense stereotype. You get the sense that the author must have gone to the zoo in real life, seen like three women with dyed hair, and immediately wrote this article.

What is the climate scientist writing on his clipboard between reading each item off his list? Sometimes it seems like he's just ticking or crossing each item off the list, but other times it seems like he's writing something down. Why would you need to cross items off a list that you are reading out loud for a video anyway? And why does he look so sad and disappointed both before and after reading each item, as if seeing the item troubles him, and then having read it aloud troubles him further? It's such a strange performance.

Oh boy. Mirth-free. Sonic and Mario aren't even rivals - decades ago they were mascots of rival companies, but that's not the same thing. Those companies aren't even rivals any more. Even the Olympics game that features both characters (because the companies are no longer rivals) isn't called Mario vs Sonic - it's Mario & Sonic and they appear smiling together on the cover, each holding a gold medal. Of all the countless fictional rivalries in pop culture that they could have picked, why go for one that isn't a rivalry at all? Baffling.

my takeaway from all this is that a barrel would be an odd container for crackers

There are a lot of reasons conservative satire sucks, but one of the big ones is that you can tell they start getting seethingly mad at the situation they made up halfway through. Like if you watch a clip of some hack like Gutfeld, he's always pausing midway through his routines to be like "hey by the way, don't forget that I'm violently angry about all this and you should be too".

Another banger. Video description and video length is like free jokes.

oh my god little joel, you've earned a fan for life. The way you get heated defending taylor swift and play a video you'd only have seen if you were a swiftie... I see you.

This type of public product conservative comedy is so excruciating because every single thing they write and say feels gun shy and meek, like they’re cringing as they make it. It doesn’t even seem like they’re having fun.

“Do Christians just write Satan into every line of the Bible?” Yes. Yes they do. And Jesus, he was always there too. And hell is clearly in the Old Testament. And all these prophets writing about their own current events are secretly talking about Jesus because if you take a verse here and there out of context—and sometimes just make up a verse completely—and you squint really hard, you’ll see it’s always been about the gospel. How don’t you see how obvious all this is?

The thing that always leaves me speechless and perplexed is the mythologization of trump by the republicans. It's as if it was impossible to consider him as anything other than a superhero, an x-man with the power to be infinitely liked, correct and powerful, and yet at the same time remain human. It is, in many was, an elevation to jesus: he's god, AND he's human. What the fuck happened man? He's a goddamn politician. This is mostly media so I get it, it's propaganda, but so much of his power as a politician is rooted in the fact that many common folk see him like this as well. I'm so lost. Btw great video jöl sorry for being a downer

It’s about time! The Babylon Bee and The New Norm (is that still a thing?) and Lady Ballers are all of the same genre: Conservative Grifter Poop, the psychic exhaust ports for the conservative grifterverse where they openly perform and tacitly admit their insincerity about believing anything.

My favorite thing about this video is that it is one hour long

I was not expecting Donald Trump x Bluey's dad fanfiction in this upload

As a reluctant Bluey expert, weirdly that picture in the video isn’t Bandit, that’s Bluey.

I love the idea that a woman called Aunt Jemima sounds like a 30 year old white receptionist.

I like the Satan video because it made me imagine a 18th century Puritan doing satire media

You should consider being a writer for the Babylon Bee - boldly stating that you know that Bluey's dad is shaking hands with the president in the image when it is, in fact, Bluey herself, is frankly the kind of radical and politically incorrect take that would have the pc crowd killing themselves

Joel, the AI public defender clearly said he was wearing deodorant because the criminals said he was a “stinkin’ public defender.” The script is hilarious and you’re wrong.
