Huck you

Category: Humor • Politics
Posted on: February 4, 2008 9:13 AM, by PZ Myers

I'm going to the DFL caucus tomorrow night, and after seeing this video I'm thinking I ought to throw my vote to Mike Huckabee.

Maybe I can convince a few others to join me if I dress sexy enough.

Huck! I've seen the light!

(It's kind of dim, though.)

Posted by: Ric | February 4, 2008 9:27 AM

Nah, just a rip off of the Obama girl more or less.

Posted by: RickFlick | February 4, 2008 9:29 AM

funniest since Hillary's tears.
I'm tearing with laughter! 8-)

Posted by: Aaron | February 4, 2008 9:30 AM

Obama girl did it better...

Posted by: Zak | February 4, 2008 9:34 AM

The very last line is the best. "Baptize American... like a a dinosaur" hahahahaha!

#5 I thought it was funny up until that, then it was hilarious.

Posted by: Unstable Molecule | February 4, 2008 9:48 AM

Tears of joy. That was brilliant.

Posted by: LisaJ | February 4, 2008 9:51 AM

Ridin' on a jesus horse, hahaha. That was great.

Posted by: oldcola | February 4, 2008 9:58 AM

Please, explain to a poor european : this is parody "against" Huckabee, isn't it?

:( it's not working for me. I even allowed scripts globally, and it still doesn't work. Any ideas on how I can get it to play?

#11

Posted by: Reginald Selkirk | February 4, 2008 10:01 AM

I give up - was that a parody or not?

#12

Posted by: Kimpatsu | February 4, 2008 10:03 AM

Nah, sorry, PZ, but even if you wore a miniskirt, that beard is a definite turnoff...

#13

Posted by: CalGeorge | February 4, 2008 10:08 AM

Riding dinosaurs - didn't they do that in the Garden of Eden? This is sure to generate a few extra votes for the Huckster.

#14

Posted by: Daldianus | February 4, 2008 10:13 AM

They should have featured Jesus fighting dinosaurs! Or Noah kicking them from the Ark.

My vote is totally for sale for hot sex, young lady.

Oddity I've noticed: Whenever I watch an embedded video here, my office computer locks up hard, forcing me to pull the plug. Don't know if it's scienceblogs or Pharyngula specifically.

#17

Posted by: Egaeus | February 4, 2008 10:24 AM

Being at work, I didn't hear the audio (it'll wait until I get home), but the first few seconds were so visually campy that I can't possibly believe it is serious.

#18

Posted by: Chris | February 4, 2008 10:31 AM

The I'm just a stupid woman I don't deserve a voice line pretty much makes it clear it's satire.

#19

Posted by: Dutchvigilante | February 4, 2008 10:33 AM

That filthy dinosaur.. not only are they awesome, big and cool, they also get the girl!

Its like high-school all over again.

Unambiguously satire. Super Deluxe is a comedy outlet.

Hey, PZ, can you borrow that squid outfit? Rowrrrr...

Rock out with your caucus out is the best line EVER.

#23

Posted by: JOssh | February 4, 2008 11:21 AM

I think Huckabee is a pretty cool guy. Eh beleivs in Jesus and doesn't afraid of anything.

#24

Posted by: Mat Wilder | February 4, 2008 11:28 AM

Hilarious. Way funnier than Obama girl.

#25

Posted by: Nan | February 4, 2008 11:32 AM

Hilarious. The sad thing is the Huckster's true believers won't recognize it as parody.

#26

Posted by: Bad | February 4, 2008 11:37 AM

Huckabee girl's erratic behavior has included appearing in short skirts without underwear, shaving her head, abandoning a car in traffic when it had a flat tire, and recently, holding her dog and sobbing on a sidewalk.

#27

Posted by: Louis | February 4, 2008 11:38 AM

I'm glad everyone else thinks that's a parody too!

It doesn't make me want to vote Huckabee (I can't do that anyway, I'm in the UK) or even not vote Huckabee, but it does make me want to do things with lollipops for some reason. ;-)

Erm... That wee 'dinosaur' she cuddles throughout the video is wearing a plaid scottie hat. It rather leads me to believe she is actually cuddling Nessie.

I'm not sure if this makes it funnier!

I thought the Universe was made in six days? I don't know,
it seems kind of ludicrous because of the total religious
content, even allowing for the downright pitch for the
hick huckabee. I'll have to pass on this one for any
content of any worth. Looney Tunes will be more of a
humorous attention grabber.

So? I thought everyone knew that Nessie is a plesiosaur...

I dunno PZ, those are weapons-grade bazongas she's sporting there.

You may have to up the nudity factor to achieve a similar response.

Mus: here's a direct link to the video, which can be played with vlc:

Ack, now I feel like a sexist asshole for objectifying her like that.

See what you Americans and your prurient politics have done to me?!

#34

Posted by: MAJeff | February 4, 2008 1:57 PM

Oh, shit. Tomorrow's Super Tuesday, isn't it? Guess I'll have to vote or something.

#35

Posted by: Don | February 4, 2008 2:39 PM

Brilliant parody, just enough to fly under the radar of the gormless. In the UK we just don't feel that way about politicians.

#36

Posted by: Sanjiv Sarwate | February 4, 2008 2:51 PM

The t-shirt is great! Maybe it will get people to watch the movie "I Heart Huckabees", which will confuse them so much they won't know where to go to vote.

#37

Posted by: genewitch | February 4, 2008 3:16 PM

Why is the production value so high? Man, Edwards needs this kind of chest support. I mean support. From chests. Er, the pubic... PUBLIC!

#38

Posted by: Levent | February 4, 2008 4:11 PM

Really very well made...

#39

Posted by: David Marjanović, OM | February 4, 2008 4:58 PM

And incidentally, there's this parody of the John Travolta video on the same site...

One thing that restores my faith in America a bit is that all polls indicate that Huckabee is going to get his clock cleaned tomorrow. Most likely he will only win in Arkansas, which has a proportional delegate system anyway. Hear that hissing sound? It's the relevance rapidly escaping from Huckabee's campaign.

#41

Posted by: tacitus | February 4, 2008 5:59 PM

It's a shame Huckabee is still in the race. By doing so, he's ensuring that the most electable Republican wins their nomination, which is a dangerous thing since McCain seems to be intent on keeping us in the middle of an unending war in Iraq. Not to mention his recent promises to the wingnuts on the type of judges he'd nominate to the Supreme Court.

#12, I'd think the sight of Pee Zed wearing a miniskirt would be a rather significant turn off, turn about, and run away as fast as you can.

#43

Posted by: Willie | February 4, 2008 6:32 PM

I'm converted! Whoooooyaaaaaaaaa!

#44

Posted by: Dahan | February 4, 2008 6:54 PM

Well, I'd convert, but I'm pretty sure that if my wife ever found out I voted for the Huckster, the only action I'd ever get again would be watching that video.

#45

Posted by: ZorkFox | February 4, 2008 7:55 PM

Best Political Video Ever.

#46

Posted by: fairlane | February 5, 2008 11:58 AM

I'm with anyone who wants to Baptize America.

Praise Huckabee's name, and that girl's ass.

#47

I think it's funny that some people don't get this is a spoof.
