Snacks Distract Lawmakers From Horrors of War

[Tamizushi]

I don't care that the Onion did it. This video is an educational tool. If a student ever complains about not being allowed to eat in class, the teacher can just show it.

[Kouta13]

I don't know why...but I have the strangest urge to eat some chips.

....Weird...

I honestly have no idea why. I'm just watching this congressional committee, really listening to what they're saying...but all throughout the discussion, the only thing I can think of is "I would really like some chips right now..."

Seriously...anyone else having that feeling? Or is it just me?

[1XNitroX1]

Meanwhile in Africa...

[Manadox97]

It's sounds so official except for the chip thing

[TheYouwontgetit]

how come the chairman gets the worst pieces...

[gorrammit]

Actually listening to what they're saying made it all the funnier

[throneinc]

the real purpose of this channel is to kill innocent viewers by making theirs bloody hearts implode out of theirs chests.

oh and i hate onions. 

[BlackOpAim]

is this Fucking real? LOLZZ

[davidhlusko]

@BlackOpAim Of course it is. It's the onion.

[MercedesCars454]

@BlackOpAim yes, this is real. What you watch on TV is fake.

[tarziq]

im too distracted to the crackles and munching to hear their words xD

[vortex975]

Now im hungry

[Endwar1997]

Chances are this has probably happened.

[Wafflepudding]

Hey! Rep. Sinclar is the same guy from the Ocular Penetration Restriction Act ("Skullfucking")!

[sikvenum82]

How these people can keep a straight face is beyond me lol

[matikalyere]

@sikvenum82 I've been wondering that for ages. Dang good actors, I suppose... :D

[scrap222666]

Damn this cruelty, the old guy got the best part to eat the last scraps, I always want to do that. :(

[2012singularity2012]

awesome

[brandi2cute4u001]

I'll bet my manhattan brownstone that everyone in this video were just hungry old men from the neighbourhood nursing home. lol

[Roboyoyo]

@alexkillsdie have a sense of humor. Geez

[canadianelite42]

At least they're there; they don't usually bother to show up, at least here.

[laveolu]

@canadianelite42 Its true, in how many countries do reps really always bother to show up

[alexkillsdie]

yea cuz the horrors of war are fun, let us all just have a great big laugh at dead childrens expence l. o. l..............

[mynameisbackwards]

is it always like this in american congress?

[lordbrixo]

@mynameisbackwards Yes, it is.

[adam145]

Hahaha I'm eating crisps (chips for USA :P ) right now !

Hmm does that make me a lawmaker ?

[weirddudeonice]

Our snacks! It's hopeless! Retreat!

[kirara5202]

[rawdenashitey]

US congress... very immature

lol then rip on me i know its a parody!

[McPrfctday]

These shows are a goldmine of great actors!

[sabian1hhx1only]

That was awesome lol

[MrLilFolks]

Im going to the store to buy some chips

[Fibonacci1334]

No no you get out of here ludacris. we DONT want u here and thats NOT ok

[mediblue9]

53 people worked in the Bush administration, and 935 didn't!

[mediblue9]

53 people worked in the Bush administration

[pashun88]

I didnt hear anything they said. 

[GODiswining]

Of course i see the secret message of this video: send Captain Crunch to find terrorist's!

Pray for health & truth in this dimension

[mediblue9]

I wish these were our politicians

[The1stPoster]

@mediblue9  Wish? These ARE our politicians.

[CutieoJenevaia728]

[qualqui]

[WatchmenDrManhattan]

Hey as long as they get the jobe done why not.

[DocKillRoy]

i love hove they keep a strait face during all this lmao

[vermilionha]

@DocKillRoy Snacks are serious business. :|

[pvtjamesryan3]

Its hilarious because I can imagine Congress doing this. They're all incompetent.

[orangecatz53]

51 people didnt get what they ordered

[canadian7233]

haha I like how they are using a bag made out of paper, I cant believe that sun chips isnt allowwed to sell their paper bags in the states as it was too loud for americans lol, pussies

[TheBeefySister]

@canadian7233 Have you ever even bought a bag of sun chips?

[Mezey5]

Onion-span has to be the best spoofs they got

[Iamjustherek]

I didn't pay attention to a word they said but now I want chips... :(

[Shyhalu]

I bet if we actually let them snack like that during proceedings they wouldn't be such worthless dicks.

[NoisemakerArrow]

@Shyhalu I don't think anything can be done that would make them not be worthless dicks.

[Shyhalu]

@NoisemakerArrow I dunno, I think watching a fellow congress member recieve a bullet through the head is a good motivator, seems to be working somewhat right now. =P

[NoisemakerArrow]

@Shyhalu Haha. Yeah, but soon it will be back to business as usual.

[nickeyx2]

dam this makes me want some chips

[TaffyAlpha]

Shit. youtube fixed the F5 trick.

[thehornypuppy]

Are those Xochitl chips for real? xD They seem awsome.

[bigbengamer]

~slurp!~

[shawnnyman]

just the soul fact that they are eating chips is to hilarious! and i acually tried to pay attention and it didnt work lol

[godboy114]

what kind of chips are they eating?

[2012singularity2012]

@godboy114 Xochitl i think

[marsneedstowels]

I think these lawmakers may be stoked on the war, "Dude dude try these nachos"

[palmostositive]

the acting and camera work is fucking impecable.  bravo!

[leaf732]

FOR 2:39 SECONDS i watched a group of old men eat food thank you theonion for this great opportunity

[yannyboyy]

@leaf732

Yeah, great.

"2:39 seconds"

[Inediblehulk]

Is that an actual brand of chips? Strange packaging. Looks almost biodegradable.

[NucularRobit]

@Inediblehulk It has a different logo so I know it is not, but it is similar to the bags that Mission tortilla chips come in.

[terminalblue]

This is actually my favorite Iraq war Onion fake-broadcast.

[vipergts333]

slurrrp.... sluurrrp. yeah this is about as goofy as the real deal.

[neoparshath]

Thumbs up if you don't remember what they were talking about in this video.

[ToxicOdiousOne]

He who eats the chips may do so after turning off his microphone so he can be heard.

[mikaila31]

What!? I thought they only ate souls!

[1RadicalOne]

I know this is fake, but for the most part, I would have no problem if it were real; I see no major issue with eating during conferences, provided a few basic guidelines are followed.

[Yowzow]

Like if this video made you want chips

[ZTM420]

Rep. Sinclair sounds alot like the guy who gave the skull-fucking presentation

[OrogDeMalfur]

whats wrong with havin some chips and dip during a meeting? we do it at work all the time, last night was nachos and corn dogs night

[Bearkiller777]

LOL......made me kinda hungry for chips..

[metalHASarrived]

man i cant see why we dont do this i think we could acomplish more if we replace a court room and a gabble with a back yard and a beer

[TampAnonymous]

of course this isn't real you fucking idiots. if it were then they would all be high and have the munchies or something...

[grudainc]

@TampAnonymous But I thought that all congress men were high......all the time......that's how we still have oil spilling

[TampAnonymous]

@grudainc weed is one hell of a drug

[GrandMasterFreshMpls]

@TampAnonymous I think you mean meth. Weed is safer than advil.

[bobpopo23]

this made me hungry

[MarshunMartin]

Look at the left of the screen at 2:19. LOL

[gobo760]

lol, this reminds me of this one time when I was doing a live shoot for ESPN2 and one of the camera guys cracked open a bag of tostidos or something and was crunching away over the headset, and then another camera guy started sipping his coffee really loud to try and drown out the guy eating the chips. Our director was like "guys, shut the fuck up!" but they were too engrossed in their little dual. I was trying my best not to shake the camera from laughing so hard.

[manrightchea]

The guy at :45 makes you want some snacks bad lol

[CobraGMW2]

[UndercoverDoctor]

Needs way more views.

I mean if they want to snack on chips why the hell shouldn't they be allowed to.

[redenchilada]

This is so funny. What is Fisher eating before he starts snacking on the chips? It looks so good. Mmmmm....snacks! :)

[alconaftika]

[LacyB71]

[Badassdude1234]

[ZeOnlySpy]

You know...I'm pretty sure that there is an intelligent and well reasoned discussion going on there, but for the life of me I can't see it.

[MidgardEagle]

Every time I watch this, I want chips so bad. It's like a viral ad.

[MithraMusic]

You are SO RIGHT. I almost went out to buy some just now.

[EvenEvenOdd]

Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant!

[Yowzow]

[KingAzndrumajor]

LMAO...wouldnt be surprised if this is REAL footage...  ;P

[MidgardEagle]

Well, I didn't believe the episode with the Senator bringing his son to the hearing could come true either, but then some idiot mother in England brought her screaming infant to the Parliament, so who knows.

[FathomLordKarathr]

@KingAzndrumajor its not?

[SylvanaForrester]

[HalomasterObi1177]

[nonew3]

For some mysterious reason, while watching this video I suddenly got the urge to get up, grab my bag of chips, and start munching. Strange.

[FSGrapecataz]

I opened up a new tab in the middle of this, and it was still fucking hilarious going by sound only. Try it.

[Mgjaggers]

Who else was distracted because they wanted to know who got the bag of chips next? :D

[IzodMuse012]

Ahaha the fact that the crunching, slurping, crinkling, actually makes a louder noise than their communication makes it hilarious. The Onion is amazing.

[lunaehmaz]

Sooooooo funny. Makes me hungry

[Sarinx7]

Let me wipe it on my expensive suit. Nom Nom Nom's

[61211920]
