[Videogametube]

2:07 = Was he gonna kiss the First Lady on the cheek and she didn't move? hahaha

[krisityyyyyy]

Now that was a great day for America, everybody! Yes it was! :D

[lincoln5269]

he is a brave man lol

[truflip99]

well done furgermeister

[JanineRobin]

Craig Ferguson is an embarrassment to Scots. Hey Craig, when was the last time you said "God bless Scotland", you arse licking apologist.

[boamuro]

0:20 Retarded Bush... he's not even really paying attention and just giving fake laughs. Craig is obviously paying attention to him the during the pause, so Bush had to give the worst fake laugh yet.

0:47 MAN CRAIG IS THE MAN!!!!! hahahahaha

[riegelnate]

I'm impressed with Bush and Cheney's sense of humor. Regardless of what's happened, I'd LOVE to drink with Bush.

[txiong076]

best delayed response everr!! LOL!

[bobkiss3021]

he is great. he said it all at the end. `you cranky magnificent bastards`...but what really stands out in that line is `«:you cranky bastards!!!!!...haha that was priceless

[erikafnord]

0:23 LMAO!!!

[Wafaloo]

When he talked about Barney humping the Pope's leg, my first thought was that he meant Barney Frank. "AHA HAA! Look what I did!"

[TheFred3733]

I have watched this about six times--I am also a CF addict--but I was trying to see if he even bothered to use his notes once he got past the salutations. Maybe once he looked down. The rest was just him being him. It was incredible. I bet those who didn't know of him before were utterly enchanted. Except maybe the NY Times.

And what an incredibly important way to end the presentation. He really makes me want to be a better American.

[JanineRobin]

@TheFred3733 Why don't you try being a better HUMAN, instead of a better American

[BellaDeChanel]

ahahaha! the delay after the barney humping the popes leg!!!!!!!!

LMFAO!

[atomicinjun]

"I tell you what... You are retiring as a young man though sir. You're retiring as a young man. What does a president do when he retires? You could look for a job with more vacation time!!!! Ha-ha! See what I did!!!" Now that's funny!

[ginafaloola]

Bush's delayed response to the joke and Craig's reaction to that KILLED me. hahahahaha. priceless.

[CFMPmadSfX]

Bush cracked up there lol

[umumum1]

haha is laugh right there cracks me up no matter how many times i see it!

[meindzai]

Thanks for posting these. Developing a bit of a Ferguson addiction here. *twitch twitch*

[soulmman]

Damn, what a bunch of idiots, this guy's hitting them with gold and the only one laughing is Bush.

[elshambo]

The auld wasp's dont like getting poked!

[Prka01]

@soulmman Wether or not you agree with the republican politics, George Bush and all of that stuff. You can't deny that Bus had a good sense of humor, just check this out: /watch?v=19ixQtnNd6E

[PuckRocker43]

Fanbloodytastic! Craig is indeed awesome. I never tire of watching him. Of course it was a tough room but the standing O was redemption. Too bad W wasnt paying much attention, but thats as usual. VERY well done, Craig

[Ichinin]

He made it out alive! I expected him to be dragged out by the secret service and shot :oD

[judyroks]

He was hillarious, but the crowd dont want to lighten up.

[idratheryoubedead]

Does Bush have hearing problems or something? That time when Bush laughed after that dude told him what Craig said was priceless haha!

[paiwanhan]

now i know who in Washington are the true elitists.

[joemulcahy]

Thank you very much for posting this! It was great! I loved when Craig Ferguson did that bit on Donald Rumsfeld! The drawing depicting the word you, and the donkey's arse. That was truly priceless!

[ScientologyIsAcult01]

That was the most painful piece of comedy I've ever been witness to. Poor guy did great considering his audience.

[PollyPeachum3penny]

i know.... i felt bad for him. and they gave him a standing ovation as if they enjoyed it.

[yubbadubbadubba]

I think he was GREAT. But poor guy was nervous. He kept rubbing his nose, and tugging at his ear.

[orangeblueandlavenda]

that was awesome :)

[Rayzor369]

Yaaaaa Craig.

[hertblue]

He won't be invited back, not because he wasn't funny, but because he swore. Too snobby a crowd.

[puddlemini]

oh wow! He was at the very end of the dinner?

no wonder people were tired...

... I guess I forgive them then lol

[IsOfTheUniverse]

I'm proud of him :]

[allydee259]

Watching the bit where someone had to explain the Pope joke to Bush is still HILARIOUS after the umpteenth time of watching it.. Great job Craig, and lovely speech at the end there

[2ndPistonHonda]

he wasn't explaining the joke, he was telling him what ferguson said because bush didn't hear it the first time.

[allydee259]

Umm.. yeah okay. I know he didn't hear it the first time, but it's funnier to think that Bush didn't get the joke and had someone explain it to him ;) His delayed reaction was funny

[hertblue]

Rob Lowe led the standing ovation. Well done Craig.

[Friscalating]

Aah, look at him. : ) And to think Lewis Black was annoyed that they wouldn't let him swear... Maybe they award swearing privileges on a sliding scale based on how angry the comedian in question is projected to be. "Relatively harmless" = one "ass" plus up to half a dozen "bastards" if properly spaced apart.

And like everyone said, Bush needing the Barney joke repeated to him almost killed me. Good Lord...

[VictoriaEGS]

Thank you SO much for posting this! Quite the tough crowd, but Craig pulled it off just fine, and felt really natural throughout the whole thing. And my GOD, Bush having to get a joke explained made my day...

[TravisTCleveland]

I dont think the guy explained it...probably repeated it, or said something else.

[agd2006]

Takes cajones to do that! I am impressed!! Was really funny, surprisingly raucous

[macindrew]

at about 1:25, he says... full of pretentious... (then a word I can't hear)

contraily?

what is that word?

[macindrew]

ah, figured it out...

"contrary people"...

"opposite in nature or character"

:)

[hertblue]

he says contentious and contrary...

[macindrew]

thanks! his accent is endearing, but coupled with the microphone it's hard to make out... and I thought he said "pretentious", ah, contentious makes more sense :)

[haaleyy]

Bush having someone explain the Pope joke and then laughing made my WEEK. :DD

[MargeTheLarge]

Haha! Bush seems to not understand Scottish accent at all;] But we do love it!

[macindrew]

Another top notch monologue from Craig, he held the room quite well I thought, and seeing it a second time today it's even funnier. His jabs are spot on although his own "pervy" style was a bit over the top in some spots for this pretentious type of crowd. Otherwise, all hail Ferguson! the funniest man in comedy!

[jockmock2]

Brilliant how Bush is so slow on that joke

[valerio5050]

thanx ur bastards!!!!!!!!! looooooooool

[dee606]

He called them all Bastards. lol

[thebiggestmoviefan]

he seems relaxed and comfortable... and not making very big difference just because more people are watching... i love his sincereness... very much...

and bush laughing those seconds AFTER the joke was completely hillaaaaaaaaaaarious :D

[eucott]

great job. meaningful but funny. seemed like a hard crowd to play to.

[namar777]

CRAIG SUCCESS MA FRIEND!!!

[darksnow07]

Well he wasn't sucking up nor was he too corny! Perfect balance, Craig! :] That was funny and true. lol. Bush getting the Pope joke was funny...it took him like five seconds..haha.

x

[TravisTCleveland]

Nah, probably didn't hear it. He knows his dog's name...so, it looked more like he just didn't hear it the first time, and was laughing anyway; then the guy told him what he said, and he laughed for real.

[macindrew]

yeah, i agree that appears more to be what happened, still a very funny few seconds when taken out of context :)
