Congressmen Submit Emergency 3 AM Bill Demanding IHOP Stay Open All Night

[AntiRacismAndHateCom]

I like it. A bill that is straight forward and easy to understand with the exception of the estimated cost.

[NubRusty]

It would cost "probably not even that much"

[stitch99]

I always appreciate how Congress is portrayed by the Onion.

[tacosandtrains]

Only the SOPA bill will hold less water than this.

[pfcofmarines5811]

My favorite

[The1211deep]

Yes absolutely fake but funny. They are serious talking about pancake and waffle lol

[nnlamb25]

and this bill cost 30 billion dollars.

[jobboiirdt]

because if we find out its closed when we get there we will fall and slip on wet grass...im begging that it stays open i dont like wet grass

[DeadFishFactory]

Pancake and waffle batter are NOT the same thing?

[WhipLash42o]

@DeadFishFactory Normally no, waffle batter has more butter in it which makes it more crunchy (it's abit fatter too), its lighter than pancake batter also. Nothing stops you from using the same batter though, it pretty much taste the same with syrup or w/e you generally throw on it.

[AdmiralBetas]

@WhipLash42o Not bad, you've done your homework.

[WasteTime4Passwords]

Cool! And I had lost all hope that Congress was working on issues that really mattered.

[americanXXXlove]

GU-TI-ERR-EZ

[Pielord09]

America would be so fuckin cool but poorly ran if this was its house of representatives... I want this to happen, or has it already? :O

[UnknovvnMike]

so glad that the IHOPs around here are 24/7

[coruscant000]

Looks like Ramis had a good night, experienced a couple of days like that.

[sentineloffreedom]

This IS our congress... :(

[rambo7276]

IHOP really should be open all night.

[Metallarn]

I'm laughing my ass of here, it's so full of hilarious details.

Classic Onion.

[mbrsart]

This is more real than it is fake, sadly. We need a second American Revolution.

[SPLive12]

its "Dawn Man"

[Herv3]

Dong Man!

[gmartdude]

Haha yes, non spanish speakers and overenunciating spanish name. luis gutierrrrrezzzzz. at least we try to be subtle when we enunciate english names.

[cbrepp]

IHOP really is that good.

[kelsiegirl19]

in a model UN stimulation at school, i submitted an amendment for us all to get lunch so we can finally EAT.

it got through but the teachers wouldn't open the doors.

[NoiDontWantFries]

@kelsiegirl19

Proof that international diplomacy is ineffective and oftentimes totally corrupt.

[driverx241]

DONGMAN

[lordkomodo123]

"idk how tht got there..." haha the best was "the estimated cost is probably not even that much..." lol this whole video was quote worthy. I love how the guy on the very left just doesn't give a shit. "we wrote it...apparently...so of course we support it"

[lordkomodo123]

Haha this is how I feel wen I have to go to school at 7:00 In the morning. Did this make anyone else tired

[TheIr0nMike]

A look into what congress would be like if I was elected to it.

[lanceawatt]

@TheIr0nMike haha we should both get on it and get drinkin!

[Arvak777]

The bill sounds like the essays I write when i procrastinated for 2 weeks and wrote it at 3am.

[PumaOPumaOPumaO]

I would like to know if waffle or pancake batter is the same thing...

[TheIr0nMike]

@PumaOPumaOPumaO Pretty much. I still think I prefer waffles, though.

[mlmr11]

@PumaOPumaOPumaO waffle batter is thinner and calls for more eggs

[Martena56]

Sounds like everyones Saturday nights.

[spanky8477]

Dissappointed this bill isn't real, it would definately be one of the better uses of taxpayers money by congressmen

[LVnthelife]

I dont know what to say about this

[North0house]

I can see them doing this lol.

[SeraphimsDevil]

This one made me laugh so hard. Oh mannnn.

[BALJIT147]

its not like the government has more important things to do

[GenericNameBeta]

I-Hop is already open all night

[Khyrid]

I support this bill.

[Blastaarrocks]

Now if Congress was really liked this C-SPAN would have as many viewers as American Idol.

[realdad32]

@Blastaarrocks congress isnt really like this? are you sure?

[Blastaarrocks]

@realdad32 Ha ha. Good reply.

[MoreGilmour]

@vleon1012 It's fake, this vid is from 'The Onion'

[mec567]

What is the music in the end at 2:10?

[mec567]

I swear, I don't know anything about politics, I laugh my ass off at this all the time.

"Can you turn the lights down please?" LOL! I love the Onion, so much win.

[cqsr63]

Excellent political humor!

[Inediblehulk]

My sides are hurting so bad! It was a Crown Royal night in Washington for sure! "I dunno how that got there.." Nelson rocks!

[mmmmmarcus]

In a way the Onion is fake. In a way it;s disturbingly real.

[crazedmongoose2003]

@miklause: haha it's a lemon slice from a drink I think

[navyguywandell]

I Want Revenge! bit . ly/jerku

[outerspit55]

This comment will get no thumps up.

[TheASEmaster]

Ain't this how they pass all laws???

[muffinman9311]

Well it probably isn't even that much.

[miklause]

is the dawn man holding a condom at 1:05?

[TurMoiL911]

@miklause Looks like an old lime.

[legoman762005]

Finally, government getting something done!

[DJReddie]

DAAAAAAWN MAAAAAAAAN

[TurMoiL911]

If I lived in Colorado, I would vote for Ramis for re-election every year.

DAWN MAN 2010!

[ToxicOdiousOne]

It's an emergency. Ihop must be open 24 hours a day. 711 is open 24 hours a day. It's all about equality.

[u2bzane]

The bill gives the estimated cost of the tram as; probably not even that much, LOL

[vivalasvegas7]

man i love theonion.com its soo funny!

[zynesthesia]

This is outrages! I can't believe the irresponsibility of our congresspeople! 2 million dollars for research on pancake batter! Where is the outrage here. These self serving congress people are playing games with out tax money. These congressmen need to be recalled immediately!!!!

[vivalasvegas7]

@zynesthesia do you seriously think this is real?

[darkhawk123]

IHOP is open 24 hours.

[VirginianAmerican]

Should pass considering how Congress waffles on every constitutional issue!!!

[shiva1055]

probably not even that much

hahahaha

[needleonthevinyl]

guy on the far right is the best

[bbphnix]

I would really like this to be real; find food at any time in 24 hours; I am a student form Romania studying in the UK, this is my first year and living by myself wasn't always easy.... I mean there were moments when I found myself awake and hungry at 4 am but I didn't do any shopping... its a huge pain... if every place you could find food was open 24/7 it would sure be a great thing for me... but the thing is I don't think I am the only one in this situation... anybody else feel similarly?

[deceiver123m]

@bbphnix when i was a student in the US the latest i could order delivery food was 2:30am... what if im hungry at 4-6am and im still up... or what if i dont remember to order it on time and its past 2:30am

[bbphnix]

@deceiver123m so you agree with me?

by the way, where are you from, just curios?

[deceiver123m]

@bbphnix im from Ecuador; lived in usa for 19 years

[MadPutz]

Haha not far from the truth.

[deadpool0311infantry]

pass it!

[jmsimpson11]

ahahaha just noticed the guy on the left pulls out a lemon from under his shirt. fucking funny.

[Superhumanattack]

They are the same.

[rockerduff1231]

lmao the best part is how they even have the elongated coughing in the beginning which is pretty parallel to a real cspan broadcast of a senate hearing adding to the supposed realism of the video

[GodfatherDXB]

The Don Man!!!!!! looooool

[Inedible1]

Great actors.

[desertgeologist]

Dongman!

[AntonioJose1135]

LMAO!! 2 million dollars to determine if pancake and waffle batter are the same thing.. XD

[Weapon01]

Well... this certainly explains a lot.

[misshoodectomy]

dennys till dawn, who needs Ihop.

[littlemas2]

Yep, most of the bills coming out of Washington have just about the same affect.

[wormgod138]

Donman!!! 'scuse me...I gotta g...

[kunned]

@jbra755 word. after a hard night of skating i just want some pancakes before my early am shift at the gas station.

[Jesteriandt]

We wrote it. Apparently. The cost of the tram isn't even… not that much. The dawn man! Hahahahahahaha!

[netcompany3]

the onion is fucking funny

[MoonPisces029]

Dawn Man !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Hammm99]

Probably not even that much!

[Sylar03]

"Probably not even that much." XD Classic.

[Clay3613]

Someones been tired and stoned, why else would they want IHOP at 3:00 in the morning.

[TheIr0nMike]

@Clay3613 They were shit faced the night before.

[SteelVelocity]

"The Dawn Man"... That's great.

[phillyeagles217]

[prawcessthegreat]

If this was real I would run for some sort of office.

[Manofaction0]

[Colinski03]

I love the Onion soooooooooooooooooooooo much.

[iamenjoi]

THE DAWG MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOOOORAH!!!

[LoryLandskipper]

how did that get in there?

[DuralastTurbo]

This is EXACTLY what government is! A bunch of CROOKS (it's merely the front end of the parasite class) get together & debate who 2 rob & how 2 trick the public into going along with it. That is their 'job'. Like Al Gore & his retarded anti-scientific global crabon bla bla scam 2 peddle new taxes that have zero effect on the health of the planet whatsoever.

[illmagnified]

hahaha the funny thing is, the over all premise of this video is set in REALITY- Bills are constantly being put into play in the Wee hours of the morning. Great Video.

[YouboobSHlT]

[NitroRhino]

[cgraham1930]

[LinzyBeckham]

any bill for pancakes and waffles I'd pass =)

[KnightKiller1000]

@LinzyBeckham

I know, except for the time that needs to be changed... No one would wake up like around 3-4 am in the morning making pancakes while waiting for the resturant to up round 3-4 hours later...

[deadclown124]

Dawn Man!

[helloimtom100]

[usapatriot502]

[moshdragon]

2 million dollars to determine if waffle and pancake batter are the same thing. EPIC FTW

[buhdoner]
