  • When I'm high I can do that too. It's not hard if you just take a little time.

  • i just smashed my forehead on the keyboard... -.-

  • LMAO, this is a more honest representation of actual news than anything the alphabet news corps have reported on in the last 40ish years!

    Rep Ingersol, Cummings, is there a Rep. International? or a Rep. Craftsman? LMAO this is awesome!!!

  • lol, the funny thing is this is pretty much what "reality" shows are like anymore.

  • lol "Handbags on the hill"

  • Love the Onion.

  • LMAO! Ads.

  • These 3 guys are comedy gold. They should have their own show.

  • Hahaha lolz

  • HAHAHA I love the product placement

  • hahaha the onion is just pure genius. maybe even evil genius.

  • this is so funny, I love the way they're all trying to explain out their characters on the show to the cameras.

  • thaaaaaaaaaaat's the joke

  • LOL

    Onion, this is one of the BEST in a while.

  • ROFL, brilliant. loved it. Old people bein hip is always funny.

  • @HAMMERSMASHDICK the onion is not real its funny satire tell all ur friends that are confused

  • Yeah. The show will be aired on fox start september first

  • @HAMMERSMASHDICK

    Yes, yes it is.

    While you're at it, don't look behind you- I'm right there.

  • what's the song at the end? Anyone?

  • Why would the Onion post congressional hearings? They obviously got their clips mixed up.

    LOL

  • Wait a moment, if this was a reality show why did nobody get naked and use their body as a platter, climb on a table and spit in a hos face, or throw a high heel? Where were the fake nails, breast implants, and injected lips that look like fidos ass?

  • @AhazAlford Because in this particular show, behaviour like that would only reduce the ratings.

  • I dunno. I'd give it five stars either way.

  • I love Rep. Ingersol's new dye-job!

  • its not scripted and pre-determined enough to be a reality show...

    ;)

  • haha product placement

    add a few beers and throw some punches to make it more like real reality show. lol

  • This is pronktacular

  • congress has to work together to spend

  • Lmao, I loved the Swiffer jokes! :-) They were well done.

  • This is awesome. :)

  • Onion hasn't done anything funny in a while, did all the good writers quit or something?

  • All the bits filmed on a congress set usually suck.

  • @Sconz32 You don't like the Congress episodes?  That's pronkrageous!

  • @johnmonk66 yeah im with you on that. the best one was the one about the new sony dvd player

  • i say we vote Rep Cummings off the Hill

  • I second that motion!

  • It's just an ad for Swifter Dusters in disguise...

  • Dammit Onion! When you do a parody it is suppose to be how things are not done in reality. You can't show actual footage and say it is a parody.

  • yes, I know, it was a joke.

  • @y0uTUB3R93 They can now the surpeme made coprporate "donations" legal

  • @y0uTUB3R93 ??????? Really, that is the most naive comment EVER!!!!

  • lol its exactly like a reality show

    this should be on MTV

  • the last joke went completely over my head.

  • Alex and Simon are a couple from the Real Housewives of New York, its a reality show on BravoTV. you have to watch it to see why this couple was picked specifically but basically the two of them only care about being seen and getting on page six (not complete my view, just a summary of what persona they are known for from the shows)

  • let the record show on swiffering

  • So this is why America can't get anything done anymore? I see.

  • Lol XD awesome

  • hilarious!!!!

  • These congress type episodes get weirder and weirder...

  • the swiffer thing was great!

  • So true. Reality shows today are nothing but scripted shows with too much product placements.

  • This is the best Onion vid I've seen in a while.

  • LMAO THE SWIFFER

  • Over half of the laughs I get from the Onion are from reading the comments people write, thinking it's real.. :D

  • @FungusyHam well actually atleast for this clip this is more likely how they really act over there in Congress lol

  • lol, go atheists!

  • lolwut? Did that politician just say n00b?

  • LOL@ the couple from The Real HWs of NY

  • Brilliant

  • I like how The Onion has appealed to two groups of audience members here: 1) those who have noticed the corruption in our government and the cons of reality shows and 2) those who only notice that Virginia's senator has "Cum" in his last name.

  • @imajerk99ful What the fuck are you babbling about idiot?

  • I like elephants. Her name should be Gennifer. It's Jennifer, but with a G

  • man. i wish i understood politics...

    ..........seriously can someone explain this video to me.

  • i dont get politics either

  • THIS REALITY SHOW WAS BROUGHT TO YOU BY: DUSTERS™, "it only takes a few seconds to make a dusty table shine like its brand new!!!"
