Most of these funny political cartoons are incomprehensible to me.
Some of them I don't get the social reference, some I just don't get the humour. What's funny about Obama in a golf buggy in the aftermath of the Japan tsunami? And yes, I do get that it's photoshopped, I just don't understand why. |

Sundae sorry for the over US political references this thread is dominated by. If it makes you feel better here are two for you: (I hope you find it funny and not offensive) http://punditkitchen.files.wordpress...d-curtains.jpg and http://punditkitchen.files.wordpress...endeavours.jpg |
Haggis! Negro stop... you are going to cause a rift between the US and the UK! Not.

And thanks for the British ones. Absolutely no offense! I'm not an ardent Royalist and laugh at humour far closer to the bone from UK comedians. I felt proper at home. |
Here's something for both sides of the pond.
Arnold Schwarzenegger (Governor of California and movie star) with Boris Johnson (Mayor of London) on Boris bikes. http://i.imgur.com/VJsxA.jpg |

Just to give an example of the general lack of respect afforded the royals on TV: |
I think it's funny that Americans think we'll get really pissed of if they mock the royal family. But then they are often horrified by the lack of "respect" in Prime Minister's Question Time and peed when we Brits show little reverence for the president etc. It's just a different culture -like we touched on the the titles thing.
|
Bizarre really. In so many ways British culture is more deferential, and yet in other ways so much less so.
It's a trade-off I guess. We accept the class system (less so now but still) and the royal right to rule, but it's still a contract of a kind. And part of that contract is our right to pillory. |

I never think you're up yourselves when it comes to your nationality, otherwise I wouldn't be here.
It's just that sometimes things sail so far over my head I need help. Usually it's cultural. Sometimes I'm just thick :) I keep wanting to post clips from The 10 o' Clock Show, but they'd require so much back story that they really wouldn't be funny any more. If a joke goes back more then two years it's pretty hard to translate all the nuances. I see everyone here as a human being and an individual. But I accept that political humour has a limited audience. |
Us asking for clarification on one of these pics is just like one of the Merkin dwellars asking for a Brit-US translation on some of our slang.
|
Oh do post more clips, SG -I'm stranded in the desert here! Or throw me an S and I'll be much happier..... :D
|
I couldn't care less about politics. But, this is funny.
|
:lol:
That's a classic, grav. |
This one might sting a little, but its still funny.

Again, I care not for political sides or whatnot, I'm only interested in the humor.

One of those I can't really figure out why I find it chuckly, but I do!
|
Because once the thought is in your head, it really looks like he is moving!
|
I know! :lol:
I can hear it in my head, him whirring around. |
Oh that's wonderful.
That's like the world's greatest segway. |
I love it. I can't believe the mall cops here ride segways. When my friend and I walked in the mall in winter with the old folks, these guys cracked me up every time.
Also: |
Well, now I have something to do today...I can wish for that three minutes of my life back.

I missed the earlier posts in The Wedding thread because I really didn't get into reading about the event. I received the image in an email. I did realize that the analogy was satirized through alteration which is why I posted it in the Funny political pictures thread and not The Wedding thread; so, I didn't see that it had already been discussed. Sorry I can't delete it at this late time; but, thanks for bringing the redundancy to my attention.
