[Enthernal0]

These people are indeed master of writing. I wish I would ever be THAT good.

[AdmiralBetas]

3:00 lol Lauralee 's so happy at Duncan's fail

[tomizzo11]

This is still my favorite Onion video. By far. Brilliant concept.

[dbfan2scfan]

lol this one made me laugh

[RacerEckss]

This is the best shot ever taken by the Onion at mainstream media hacks!!!!

[TheYouwontgetit]

that fat bitch is laughing at him...

[RussianDemocracy]

Homo = man

Phobos = fear

Homophobe = in fear of man

Enough with the gay-poofter-faggotry, ya buggery froots!

[MarkIscariot]

@RussianDemocracy Homo actually means "same" in English etymology. Way to fail.

[RussianDemocracy]

@MarkIscariot Way to fail yourself, pal. The original meaning was "man".

[TackyRackyComixNEO]

@RussianDemocracy Words, roots, prefixes, and suffixes can have more than one meaning.

[MarkIscariot]

@RussianDemocracy Not in English etymology you dunce.

[RussianDemocracy]

@MarkIscariot Because English is the language from which all the other languages have sprung. I understand now.

[MarkIscariot]

@RussianDemocracy It's the language you're speaking. Just face the fact that you were wrong and get over it.

[hodenotto]

@DanteDouglas

hahaha, what the fuck?

why do you call me a homophobe, faggot?

and your predication is clearly wrong, as in most parts of the world the people are pretty "homophobe" or anti-gay.

i'm just a clown or troll or whatever, get over it you, unintelligent waste of flesh and blood.

btw: i am gay

[Queenlafry]

This is freaking hilarious.

[jacobveta]

u guys know this is ONN, which is the comedy central news program. its fake o_O

[1000jamesk]

Gay abortions are bad because that terrorist Obama is ruining the economy! *ratings shoot up*

[hodenotto]

i don't get that fuckin post office box thing, faggots

(no fuckin native english sucker, suckers)

could any faggit please be so nice and explain it to me?

[anonymous1808]

@hodenotto You really think that asking it like that will get you an explanation?

[sharperguy]

@hodenotto They just noticed for some reason that it went up whenever they said it - so they said it more.

[burningled]

@hodenotto Well, as your faggot ass should faggotly fucking have faggoting knowfuckingledge fuck fuck of, it had a fucking inane fucking effect on the fuck fuck fuckity fuck viewers faggot fuck that caused their fucking approval ratings to fucking rise.

[hodenotto]

@burningled yeah, but that's part of some faggish, unfunny joke, as you pretty sure may fuckin acknowledge.

there was no fuckin real rating, fuckfag, as far as i fuckin understand(btw, are you retarted or something?).

so it's part of some gay random joke, fucktard

blabla suck my weiner, blabla faggot, bla fuck

[Wafflepudding]

That woman reminded me of Sarah Palin.

[Victoria12456]

who won

[rorysimmonds]

@Victoria12456 The post box.

[boondok19999]

i literally could not stop laughing during this video, because of just how awful this is.

[oddsource]

god this sucks... its like they say shit just to get better review poll points. LOL studdering stanly studdering stanly!

[rorysimmonds]

@oddsource It's a joke.... This wasn't a real thing..

[RedQueenHakai]

@oddsource uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[youmustbethatninja]

americans are literally manchildren who can't stand it when politicians and pundits say something they don't want to hear

[scottg4520]

@youmustbethatninja And where you live everyone is pretentious and an idiot.

[cyanmanta]

Seriously, though, when I saw this ticker during the 2008 debates on CNN, it made me want to stick a fork in my own eye. If a short string of political buzzwords can really change your opinion about anything, maybe you shouldn't be voting.

[thestranger4812]

Wow, how can I not have seen this video before?

[dhstandard22]

HAHA Hard Working Americans!!! Just in case anybody didn't know it is referring to white people...

[LEFT4BASS]

This really does happen in the media

[lboucher]

While this is a really funny skit. This now exists for real, download the Yell At Your TV android app. Just in time for the republican debate on June 13th.

[RainbowManification]

@lboucher when shit on the onion becomes real, thats when you know shit is bad

[lboucher]

@RainbowManification Totally agree, for so many reasons.

[djtrixen]

Um.... Post office box.

[theoneandonlymikeyp]

You know I was discussing this video with my good friend Kayne West... who.. I... give... video links to on pieces of paper which I put in his post office box! Yes I sure do love the old P.O. box.

[sp0nge1337]

@theoneandonlymikeyp Aargh.

DO I vote up for the rapper reference or for mentioning the >

POST

OFFICE

BOX

[Napkin65]

Is it just me, or has the world found it's first funny woman? The fat chick is hilarious.

[Adriangrosvenor]

"who is going to pay for these bailouts". Lmaoo the poll started sinking. As soon as she says "our children, our poor poor children" it shot back up 1:36-1:43

[phucyoutoob]

fuck you, frank

[clebo99]

Post....Office....Box...

[luukas888]

In the end Ms.Hickok won...Thankfully

[tomizzo11]

This is by far my favorite Onion video.

[Puglous]

Actually, judging by the kind of comments that get thumbs up on yahoo news, Duncan's line should be moving upward when he talks about doom and gloom.

[cheryklemish95]

made my day!!! thanks web movie tube

[kelsiegirl19]

"my good friend Kanye West" -- drops

"who is a personal friend of mine" -- drops

"and we visit frequently" -- drops furthur

"what i meant to say was the economy..." -- dips

"can only be..." -- dipping

"spurred.." -- steadily lowering...

"into..." FLATLINE

[cuilo]

@kelsiegirl19 "smirk from the fat lady" -- skyrockets!

[MultiChrisjb]

Post office box.

[nightsongs1970]

Friggin' brilliant!

[Blacckkfire]

Fat lady: :D

*red line goes up*

[zaloro]

YES! Finally someone who will invade Sweden!

[borskyviolin]

This is hilarious!

[Ectharias]

I can't believe this video doesn't have more views

[megamarsvin]

Poor Duncan xD

[Arogers2013]

I laughed so hard i started to cry

[will9630]

lmfao ducan!!

[cmLMolde]

Invade Sweden? Does that mean they will strike the capital Norway?

[ps8hand]

the looks when the camera films them is priceless

[HplusG]

lol, Lauralee's face at the end!!!

[taicleis]

@biochemist1661

Oh! Thanks for the heads-up. I trust this time it'll actually happen? Unlike all the hundreds of other times people just like you were wrong?

I have to spread the good news! Tell me, how do we know that judgement day will be on that date? What is our source?

[lanceawatt]

Hahaha as soon as Duncan repeats the word "Post box" enthusiastically with no apparent implicational relevance his meter soars LOL

[samu3ljr]

Lauralee won!!

[PumaOPumaOPumaO]

damn wtf, was the audience just a bunch of mailmen or something?

[609juelz]

if u hardly watch the bs on tv and know what going on this is halarious lol.

[609juelz]

if u haldly watch the bs on tv this is halarious lol.

[kabooby0]

Amazing! This is exactly what 'news pundits' are doing.

[ubuntututorials]

0:25 was updated before the video was released. lol.

[TimeLord361]

LOL this reminds of when everyone on the news said the economy wouldn't crash like bernanke and art laffer LOL i poop'd

[TylerIsHackinCool]

That woman owned him. lol

[myquill23]

"my friend the rapper Kanye West" was a desperate gamble that did not pan out..

It was a good try however.. :-)

[awdrifter3]

@myquill23 He should've said Taylor Swift.

[myquill23]

@awdrifter3

Maybe he wanted to.., but I doubt his friend, the rapper Kanye West, would let him finish.

:-)

[awdrifter3]

@myquill23 lol.

[pmarceau]

One of their best

[theabomation]

People love to be told what they wanna hear!! The onion is genius..

[jbra755]

79 people need to open a P.O box.

[cadman2300]

Poor Duncan.  Towards the end he looks like his heart monitor is flat-lining.

[geiuy]

this is what happens in reality,its just hidden better

[kokaliarakos]

he tottaly failed in the end

[redeemer1kamili]

I just can't get enough of Lauralee's smile at the end!!!

[jbra755]

@redeemer1kamili I think this is one of her best Onion performances!

[Emidretrauqe]

@jbra755 I actually think that this is the best video the Onion has ever put out!

[baa1234]

lol "my friend the rapper Kanye West"

[ScarTownJunkie]

[csbob2004]

[9tee]

[elmaxidelsur]

PO BOX!!!

[bowser5295]

[joncmaxwell]

this is the best!!!

[Kingdom007Hearts]

this video is so awesome. it 'proves' that people are stupid and react better to happy thoughts and not negative news.

Note to MSNBC: stop shouting bad news and the economy will get better

[Headsetphobias]

lol Duncan's rating's are hilarious

[derickhaywood]

what they forgot to say is clifford banes is protesting gay marriage with his lover mike gets

[williamkendrick]

[muck187]

We had a PO box when I was a kid. PO box 83 Waterloo, WI.

Those were good times...

[simonjeste]

definitely one my All Time Favorites of the In The Know series. especially her evil grin at the end.

[valacorp]

Presidential elections are like a slow-mo version of this

[haiyah6]

[toxikblood]

@MeMyselfAndI42424 Kayne West obviously

[Begeru]

Haha genius.

[VitaNuovaRevolution]

ahahahaha that was the funniest I've seen, I have to say. that meter was totally awesome. XD cracked me up!!

[RyuuMasato]

LOL i was watching the meter the entire time LOL

[87smm]

"Duncan, could you tell us some ways you think the economy is doing badly, again?"

[2nFro1]

How does one say..."one of the best", when frankly....90% of them are just so brilliant and that 'one of' would be on a list of 500.

When Lauralee has the S*** eating grin after getting Duncan to tank...it still get me.

[robinjam304]

This is awesome, but it could have been far longer.

[xephyr1000]

Freak'n funny

[fathersky5]

THat was great!

[Ivan951]

One of my favorites

[fonkymaster]

Post office box does not really get you rated up. This comment will prove that.

[ajgolfer1]

@fonkymaster i like it when you said post office box

[fonkymaster]

@fonkymaster

8 months later...I eat my words.

[PumaOPumaOPumaO]

@fonkymaster

Never doubt our love for post office boxes

[ExploitedYouth87]

@fonkymaster Woooo post office box! Thumbs up to you my good sir!

[fonkymaster]

@fonkymaster

So now this comment, with 166 thumbs up, can rest.

Fuck you people.

[friskydeadman]

why did it have to end?? sooo funny 

[lovellespice]

I heart independent thinkers. And I'm a conservative.

[METALMAN4Wii]

I know right I hate finding ten grand in my po box every time I check it. I usually yell "who's doing this" then I throw away the money and there's always some crazy people running to the garbage can every time......?

[lordcrull]

About time, god damn swedes! :P

[kingchyzer]

I think I saw something like this on CNN. It's called complaining.

[Emidretrauqe]

This is their best one!!

[Ectharias]

I loooooooooooove this video. I've probably watched it 20 times

[ProbeIke]

The economy... can only be... spurred...

[FourthHorseman666]

[JustALier]

The people who dislke this thinks this video is bad for the economy

[awdrifter3]

Kanye West ftl!

[sacs1800]

Post office boxes are the shit. Klein was very impressive because he gets that.

[mistereveready]

pharyngula blog would have a field day if this were real.

[kroovyandcal]

politics in a nutshell. plus you do evil things to your constituents because you have to answer to the fascist bankers and still somehow pretend that you are helping your voting block. not a problem. it's all teleprompted in advance.

[CamNM1991]

Imagine if Faux News had this HAHAHAHA

Thumbs up for a part 2! :)

[kleinesmaenchen]

i love how her line goes up when lauralee mentions the "hard working smart americans" xD what a lie

[scottg4520]

This can be applied to anyone running for office.

[bezdomnii]

comments are like letters in your post office box that you, the smart, resilient, hard working viewers can rate to help your poor poor children so that we can all build a bright future together

[TheJb1rd]

@bezdomnii HAHA!

[Gabumon54321]

[ParkourBlog]

I cannot believe 79 people didn't like this

[weetikissa]

@ParkourBlog they didn't repeat "post office box" enough apparently

[jony1710]

i love how it depicts the public as idiots by making them agree with people for talking about opening their post box. LOL

[otchacha]

I always thought bills were the electric company's way of saying "I still care"

[CakeHorses]

awww poor duncan, he's my favorite!

[exussupremebeing]

oh my god, this is too funny!

[BrandonHusky]

hes the hard working Americans coming from the fatass who eats tacos

[JeffChen7x8]

"q-well, i was actually discussing the economy with my good friend the rapper, kanye west ... who's a personal friend of mine... uhh, and we visit frequently...."

[Sylar03]

It's about time the US Office of Offense gets off their duff and does something.

[truefakeness]

Post Office Box! POST OFFICE BOX!!!

[TheFartoholic]

Clifford Banes has such an interesting life.

[babygirl10705]

[LaQuishmia]

@Manofaction0 haha omfg, you are a genious

[ShadedSphere]

"I think...that...you're...um....­taking....what i said earlier....out of context...."

Quite an evil grin she had on at the end. :D

[repeatthecycle]

This is the funniest shit ever, Love The Onion :)))

[psykojose]

Best one yet! hahaha

[1RadicalOne]

This was actually done with a leader in Australia. The leader did well, his opponent made a fool of himself.

[HastaFatum]

Talkin about the ol' po-box, eh?

[MetalMario03]

The hosts of this show are always great, except for that Duncan Birch, what an asshole, I bet he doesn't even have a PO Box.

[FuSioNzPS3]

Surely the funniest thing I've ever seen.

[coltharpnicholas]

They had a feature that was basically the same thing as this during the presidential debates. I thought it was the most idiotic thing ever. Glad to see I wasn't the only one.
