Maybe I am sicker than I thought, because I think that normally I would be outraged. OTOH, my long-suffering girlfriend vetted it, and although she looked dubiously at the Alzheimer’s references she generally jueged it as funny. I report, you decide.
Just don’t drink any soda while doing it, one way or the other.

Well, he does ask for feedback Moe…
I liked the “pope frenzy” drumming at the end best.
I dunno… it wasn’t laugh-out-loud funny for me, and I put that down to the Alzheimer references making me uncomfortable. Granted Ronald Reagan was a man who did far more evil than good in his life (even throwing 50 B-movies into the balance) still, his family didn’t deserve the hell of Alzheimers.
It’s not the kind of thing I’d flame anyone for doing or posting a link to. More a kind of “Meh… not funny…” reaction. Which I detail only because it strikes me as odd that my reaction and yours are kind of in reverse of each other and, I suspect, in reverse of what most people would casually predict.
Or maybe I’m just losing my sense of humor. Anything’s possible.
The xylophonist looks a bit like former Secretary of State George Schultz. Can’t be sure, though.
I think the xylophonist was Zombie Chernenko. An I liked it Moe. The singin Thatcher an the bevy of ex-presidents gave it panache.
I thought it was funny, but not hysterical.
Ron had a reputation for being a bit…um…absent minded while in office. I’m not sure the references to him being a bit confuse are alzheimers based or just basec on his reputation as president.
Chuchundra: Ron had a reputation for being a bit…um…absent minded while in office.
Well, he had Alzheimer’s: we now know why he had a reputation of being a bit absent-minded.
Well, the Reagan people dispute that he had any Alzheimers symptoms prior to leaving office. You can judge for yourself what you believe.
Well I laughed. I think it just squeaks by enough equal-opportunity insult to make it into the funny zone, though it’s still offensive & juvenile as hell. Like all the best comedy.
My favorite: the KFC sign bearing the “Hillary Special”:
2 fat thighs, 2 small breasts, and a left wing.
Moe, I liked it. Sure, it’s sick, I’m not pretending that. But I won’t deny it made me laugh.
The xylophonist is Britain’s most famous astronomer, Sir Patrick Moore. He has presented ‘The Sky At Night’ for the BBC for decades, and wears a monocle, and is well-known as a xylophonist and True British Eccentric.
The animation was by one of the guys at b3ta, the foremost UK webcomedy site; people behind such things as the Spong Monkeys in your Quizno commercials. A good place to catch up on b3ta glories is here. Almost everyone is guaranteed to find something to offend them.
