SMBC Theater - Election Day!

[bbrake]

2:45 No, JP, you're supposed to use the POINTY end of the knife... silly Republicans.

[GaBeRockKing]

the needless violence got me :P

[Shrewsburyonca]

SMBC is way better than the tripe served up by networks

[L4MD4]

Where can I buy a slightly smaller bigger gun? Help a guy out.

[HSDclover]

and now that image i saw on the website makes sense

[SS5785]

Bigger goverment is best goverment.

[elitecheese]

@SS5785 hahahahahahahaha...........I hope you're joking.

[SS5785]

@elitecheese Yeah, it's a joke. But, more seriously, an almost non-existent goverment can also be very problematic.

[ariandynas]

@SS5785 Sometimes small government is good government. :P

[SS5785]

@ariandynas It depends, you know. For example, Im from Peru and we have this huge big-ass problem with centralism. This means the goverment has more presence in our capital than in other provinces and here comes the problem: in places like the jungle that are near Brasil, people are starting to speak portuguese and educating their kids in brazilian schools giving the possibility that these people wont feel peruvians anymore and would ask for their province to become part of brazil. See?

[wolflinkmidnaperson]

For what they stand for, I'm with the Democrats.

[Procelis]

Also, isn't it still supporting personal responsibility if you let banks make large loans for bad degrees that end up getting someone in debt? Its still their choice to ask for that loan and as such still their fault they're in debt. While in some cases I can understand its not the person in debts fault but in this case she chose to ask for that money; How is it not her responsibility to take care of the debt when it was completely her fault?

[elitecheese]

@Procelis Because most degrees aren't bad...the poetry thing is a joke. About, oh, probably 1%(see where I'm going) don't need loans or don't have loan debts.

[Procelis]

I am a bit biased here, but isn't Ron Paul at least an example of being different and not part of a brand? I'm not saying you should support him as I understand he has some pretty controversial views but isn't he at least different from all the other 'brand' choices who are pretty much exactly the same?

[Kgbrybik1]

I understand politics now :D

[SuperStingray]

AMERICA

[tsaif09]

black guy

2:53 mouth is open

2:55 mouth is closed

2:56 mouth is open

[donwantstobesedated]

I vote for the first time today.

Repeal Senate Bill 5. No on issue 2.

[chinesemonk]

I wish this were satire :[

[TheRorschachian]

Oh, Marty, him and his spaceships.

[enlargemedia]

"well you're screwed buddy" haha

[ZoloftSmoothie]

that was great

[Tim11pop]

Needless violence? How could I say no? *goes and donates*

[slider576]

no way, this is so unrealistic who would believe this?

politicians aren't that honest.

[shuttledik]

Thaaaat pretty much wraps it up...

[bdvholmes]

Oh god, it’s the same music as my favourite ramen podcast:

tfm.co.jp/podcasts/menmen/

[mrfishyfishy]

So true, Ralph Nader 2012!

Oh wait, he's not running..... :(

[TheMinuteVlog]

Wait, how is an 18-year old a college graduate?

[PurpleGhost]

@TheMinuteVlog - She doesn't have to be a graduate, just a college student; you get the debt before you graduate, in fact, often right as you start.

[ratholin]

@TheMinuteVlog obviously she's secretly asian.

[celestialtriceratops]

After catching up on the antics of my senate, I greatly appreciated this video.

[celestialtriceratops]

Wait a second, why should politicians care about my student debt?

[PurpleGhost]

@celestialtriceratops - You are being sarcastic right?

[DuckReconMajor]

Thandi Tolmay: adorable when punched

[Hannaitlyn]

And isn't it great that in a system like this, people give you crap for not voting?

[Martinger2775]

Most accurate parody of american politics I've seen in a while.

[Seawied86]

"I am strongly in favor of lip service!" It would be funny if it weren't so true =(

[BobbyHoben]

haha funny

[noahjohnpinto]

Boo for oversimplifying issues to make it seem like there's no difference between the parties. It's a tired old joke that basically encourages people to not bother with civic engagement.

[deadballo]

@noahjohnpinto

Yay for the truth. Voters are tools who don't like facing up to reality and chain themselves by playing a crooked game.

[eapoe6]

Victim disarmament is fun.

You want money to push the same crap the MSM pushes? Pack it up. Get a job.

[Mutex50]

This is why we need a different voting system. We the option of being able to not vote for the lesser of two evils. We need approval voting with a top two runoff.

[ForgottenMemoryLost]

18 with student loan debts? :O

[wittyusername111]

I am also strongly in favor of Lipservice.

[ChalybsLevitas]

Biggest party is best pa--OH GOD THAT'S TERRIFYING!

[ROMaster02]

I want Ron Paul in there as the 3rd guy

[Elephantintheroom01]

Guys, please, its more like this:

"We're both in favour in any policy which extends our power and limits yours, unless your genetically related to us"

i.e. no guns, no guns for anybody ;_;

[DickEnchilada]

An SMBC ad is the only ad on youtube I'll watch because Zach Weiner is awesome.

[hhibben]

maybe now you can afford some eyeballs for the skinny guy and a bath for the fat one

[jordoex]

I'm glad I'm in Canada, where everybody thinks it's a horrible system, but the 2 big parties have been supplanted by third parties multiple times in our history, even if the third party is a bunch of neo-cons or socialists, it's why we have social healthcare.

[rg0057]

@jordoex , yeah and then the two new big parties turned into ... copies of the two old big parties.

Whatever.

[jordoex]

@rg0057 Exactly! It's democracy in action. *sarcasm* (and the other stuff was sarcasm too)

[econojon]

I would totally like to have sex with her.

[Msliversss1]

So... When an Erection Day sketch cumming out?

[Starionn]

How much student debt could she have racked up by 18? :P

[superfly299]

If they're just gonna parody Star Wars then it won't be worth it. Plus I don't understand why they would'nt want to get picked up by a channel like IFC? Most of their shows have a wide range of freedom in regards what they show. Just look at the Whitest Kids U Know.

[TheRealMrPeach]

This should be required watching for all voters!

[HenryPlainview]

Subtle political commentary right here...

[GBart]

That was about Ron Paul, wasn't it?

[Inabj2]

That ship on the right looks like a converted obese millenium falcon!

[Zencyde]

That was a good movie!

[TheZimboy]

i guess you could donate or if you dont have the mony there is always just like comenting favoriting and subscribing for youtube money

[pratikh]

I would have laughed at this, but then I realized this is really what American politics is like. So I cried instead.

[Doom2Guy]

God bless the American political system!

[Doom2Guy]

In b4 political flaming everywhere in the comments

[VerticalTurkey]

damn, those are some smart looking suits.

[IAMPAPERCLIP1]

"To Whom!" love that, gotta be a grammar nazi.

[JohhnyMayhem]

$11000 over? Hell, we've doubled it.

[fictionalawesomeness]

You guys are wonderful! I can't wait to see the final product.

[EricJ2190]

Wait a second... she is just 18 and already has a lot of student loan debt?

[ratholin]

@EricJ2190 it's the internet. every girl between the ages of 14-50 is 18 years old.

[elitenateperson]

BIGGEST DONATION IS BEST DONATION

[youvebeengreggd]

You've been gregg'd.

[kadune]

To whom.

[Undomiel753]

one of your best videos!

[keschus19]

i read erection day -.-

[dan37911]

@keschus19

You must have been sorely disappointed.

[keschus19]

@dan37911 a little bit

[Sylar03]

SMBC gained a black guy.

[dan37911]

@Sylar03

He's been there since almost the beginning.

[WingedIncubus]

@Sylar03

-pat-

A long long time ago.

[pratikh]

@Sylar03 He's been there for a while. His best role was Sleep, right after Premature Ejaculation.

[infikitsune]

It's sad how true this is. At least in Australia we have preferential voting, even if few take advantage of it.

[NicktheNet]

Just take out a $300,000 loan...to make additional and more frequent youtube videos.

[avielMenter]

There's a significant difference in ideologies between democrats and republicans, particularly financially, but their actions are depressingly similar.

[CastawayRY]

i like when he punched her

[Endly]

18 year old with $300,000 of student loan debt and a poetry degree? I'm impressed.

[twiztidsidfreak13]

this is 100% accurate!

[nade486]

Here in Belgium, we haven't had a government in two years,officialy the longest ever, we have fifteen MAJOR political parties, three governments which are all ruled by another government, which have all officialy resigned two years ago, and the country is divided differently according to local governments and official language (of which we have three+ a bilingual area). It's the only country in the world to have a secretary of bureaucratic simplification. WTF are you Americans complaining about?

[KikiDaiso]

Here in Europe, every country has AT LEAST 4 political parties.

And they all suck.

[AmazeKing]

you guys could afford 4 matching sweater vests on loose change alone? now that's just smart shopping.

[BobVosh]

I'm scared of a James that is serious without rainbow suspenders. Somebody help, i need a safety hug.

[gizmofly870]

Erection day

[BlackBobby69]

Why is it that in every video she's in, that poor girl stands for the USA and gets physically assaulted? Talk about a role you definitely *don't* want to be typecast for...

[xXAjaxXx]

This pretty mush captures the lack of real choice in American politics, but it doesn't really go into the underlying cause. Funny tho, and that's what's most important

[Maphisto86]

@xXAjaxXx

Heck it is the same in pretty much any "representative" government. They represent "your interests" during election time and not much more than that. True invdividual MP's, Senators, etc members of government probably got into politics, caring about what their constituents needed but the state as it is listens to the interests of the few and applies it to the many or "the nation".

[Naturality]

Biggest satellite is best satellite.

[Pylo01]

NAILED IT!

[skaaltel]

I'm Canadian and I thought this was the best SMBC yet!!

[NAWTPROF]

@skaaltel Yes, we Canadians have a false trichotomy... that's right USA, it takes three brands to fool us into believing we have a choice! Take that! :-P

[mauraofdunlath]

@NAWTPROF Ah, but you're forgetting. At least Canada's other party members who have no chance to win *cough*greenparty*cough* are actually on the ballot...

[Maphisto86]

@mauraofdunlath

We go the extra mile into deluding ourselves of the merits of "representative democracy". : )

[NAWTPROF]

@mauraofdunlath Ah, but you're forgetting that only three brands were allowed to attend the debates. ;-)

[PureZOOKS]

I vote labour.

[dumarion88]

@PureZOOKS That'd be just dandy if you were in the US... Spelling "labor" with a u gives you Britons away!

[PureZOOKS]

@dumarion88 Oh, you got me

[Crabjesus]

yaaaaaaaaay fptp

[Theycallmetomu]

OMFG ASKING FOR DONATIONZ SUCH SELLOUTZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!

I'm sure I'd donate if I wasn't woefully unemployed and living out of a broken shoebox. Try again in 50 years when the economy has recovered.

[NOB849]

@Theycallmetomu lol 50 years, yeah right

[Theycallmetomu]

@NOB849 Too optimistic?

[NOB849]

@Theycallmetomu Hell no, I'm the opposite

[Chessrook44]

AND THIS IS WHY I DON'T VOTE.

[sheepdean]

Vote for a third party and touch him on the penis

[mm8modman8]

40 days left and we're already $11000 over what they asked for....

I love the internet.

[NivMizzet89]

Biggest party is best party!

[paparazzi3p]

This is hilariously accurate.

[Shinntoku]

Biggest vote is best vote!

[SandboxFedaykin]

Filibuster, touch him on the penis.

[ice9tgn]

Marque Franklin Williams is pretty cool. We need some James and Marque shirtless action.

[YNot1989]

I've never heard the words "Equality, or fairness," come out of a Republican's mouth.

[Maphisto86]

@YNot1989

That's because they only answer pre-arranged, soft ball questions from Fox employees in the crowd. Try asking them touchy, politically correct issues about "minorities", the poor, etc and you will hear these magic words.

[CrimsonRefractions]

The sad part is that this reflects reality...

[darksnommis]

if i donate i want Zack' s mustache as a prize

[iherdyueleikmudkipz]

push 3 for dem faices and what they're starin at.

[Someguy362]

Good, that girl is legal now.

[brianpclare]

that was a good movie!

[Kogerii]

I dread when a comedian ventures into politics b/c it degrades into,

"guys who disagree with me are silly idiots, am I right audience members who already agreed w/me?"

but this skit was true-to-life. The parties are a false dichotomy.

Looks really cool. I hope by "Star Warsy" you don't mean a Star Wars parody, b/c there've already been too many of those.

[gamerunknown]

@Kogerii Mel Brooks got there first with Star Wars, true, but then again Richard Jeni got there first with equivocating between parties. You don't get original without niche.

Would it be ironic if I spent my student loan donating to SMBC?

[Kogerii]

@gamerunknown

no, it'd be foolish. SMBC's fans have proven themselves a more benevolent people than you'd expect by donating more than the sought goal in a short period. Don't get into debt mate, especially not for college. You can't clear that debt even through bankruptcy.

It's not that a joke on a particular subject can only be made once. It's that the original Star Wars trilogy has been covered so many times and in so many ways bringing it up's as boring as WW2 or medieval settings.

[smbctheater]

@Kogerii Not to worry! While the pilot WILL be set in space with awesome explosions, it WILL NOT be a parody of something else. We're doing something new! Thanks to everyone for the support, your donations are letting us look into some EXCITING things. More details soon!

[CrosswiredProduction]

@smbctheater Exclamation points!!!! CAPITAL LETTERS!!! BUZZWORDS!!!! I am already excited for this!

[solidjakesa]

Biggest political brand is best political brand!

[JelloApocalypse]

That was a pretty good one, nice job guys.

[teel115]

I saw those ships, and my jaw just friggin' dropped.

[TheVivvav]

Yeah, that's pretty much it.

[dieded4]

The jaws tshirt is about the movie backwards, watch it in hd and then full screen.

[triftenC]

Check the box, and touch him on the ballot.

[Physicbuddha]

You guys should become Youtube partners. Seriously though, what do you get for donating, besides the knowledge that you contributed to an awesome series?

[DrAmazing]

@Physicbuddha

That's what donating means. If you were getting something in return it would be called buying instead.

[killerpills]

@Physicbuddha It is better for them to take donations over youtube partner ship because youtube has rules they need to follow with that money and what types of videos they can put out. If you think about it donating will make it a much better series then what youtube may allow.

[henrybrice86]

Donated! Good luck guys!

[Zombiebushi]

Why don't you guys become YouTube partners?

[AlicanC]

SWAJ t-shirt? Cool!

[Athaeus]

To WHOM* My goodness, you've pictured the Republican as an iliterate! That's totally not .. Oh wait, nevermind. Carry on!

[i0npath]

It's funny cause it's practically true.

[beebodude]

Damn, they already passed their goal by about $10,000!

[JorickHorn]

I love this video. I'm registered democrat, but I can't stand the way they fail to fulfill their lip service. I'd love a third party, but even most of the larger third parties are effing crazy, and even if they weren't, they still wouldn't win.

[valaraj]

Keep growing! Go SMBC! :D

[morlock19]

yeah. yeah thats pretty much how the political process works.

[MarkArandjus]

Barefoot on the moon, take THAT, Armstrong.

[Larkinization]

Amazing as usual

[DMMWhite]

SPACESHIPS?!?!? I'm in!

[HHSFHarry]

Vote Libertarian, touch him on the penis.

[ZanderSchubert]

Third party? More like *turd* party! Hahahahahahaha!!!

...

We're doomed, aren't we?

[boeweizer]

newt gingrich for prez.

[Philanthropyman]

Stab a third party member, touch him on the penis.

[TheBloodyloon]

T.T this is true...

[irishtrash15]

Reason #36,451 I'm glad I don't live in America

[warwolfman]

smbc theater in space well that can only mean 2 things 1 hilarious hijinx and 2 hot half naked alien chicks spouting penis jokes

[fireant202]

Ah politics!

[esofolis]

A show with the selling point of Explosions? you should call Michael Bay see if he has any money left over from Transformers.

[amacgregorstudio]

@esofolis Have you seen any of the Transformer movies?! He doesn't :P

[esofolis]

@amacgregorstudio That is true. He had to have payed some really good hypnotist to make people believe they were seeing a good movie.

[Quimbyrbg]

I feel sorry for you Americans and your faux-democracy that is kept in play by the corrupt, manipulative, and evil scumbags that represent the democrats and republican parties.

Here in Australia, our evil scumbag's parties have TOTALLY different names.

[SirDoctorDestiny]

@Quimbyrbg I feel sorry for both of you and you faux-democracies kept in play by your respective scumbags. Really, you have very few options.

Here in Canada, we have THREE evil scumbag parties!

[amacgregorstudio]

@Quimbyrbg Parties ?? Don't you mean the queen ? Same shit as in Canada, you cannot pick the prime minister :)

[mikethies0]

@Quimbyrbg lol YA same here up in ol'Canada. Silly americans ;p

[ExitTheAccount]

@Quimbyrbg You win today. Congratulations. 

[pineapple2048]

Anvilicious. My God.

[shakudu]

Slightly smaller bigger gun is best gun
