RAT FLAG!!!

Thank you very much. You know, in the past, um, fifty years, we've seen a lot of satirical comics come and go. But there was one man, one man who started it all. And quite frankly I credit this person for everything irreverent and vicious in today’s satire. And, of course, I'm speaking about ... Michael O'Donoghue. [Applause] Yes! Yes! There was a man...! You know, when Michael died ... I think a small piece of all of us died with him. I know that's how it was with me. I was home perusing the internet the other afternoon and I happened to land on some old Saturday Night Live skits, back when it was good, you know? When it broke out and changed pretty much how we see comedy on tv, back when it was dangerous. I was watching this skit with O’Donoghue and a funny thought occurred to me. I thought, what if someone took steel needles, say, mm, fifteen, eighteen inches long and plunged them, plunged them into Michael O’Donoghue’s ... eyes. What would his reaction be? We can only guess ... but I think it might go something like this... 

[turns his back to the camera, pulls up shirt collar over his neck, removes eyeglasses and pockets them, then spins quickly, his right hand clutched to his eyes, screaming, shrieking at the top of his lungs. He staggers, collapses to the floor, tries to get up. Laughter and applause as Eric Lunde falls off stage and rolls into audience. ]

 

Take two:

 

So, how about (insert cuntservative personality).  All I can say about them is yes, I think are a person, a real human for now, right? Well, I mean, we all have our impressions of him and that’s cool. I’ve been working on one myself. So, I’m watching one of those rallies where he’s, you know, leading the charge! Firing up the base! I mean, this guy is a showman, much like Liberace or Jerry Lewis! And I can’t help admiring that, you see. So, I’m watching this, and a funny thought occurred to me. I thought, what if someone took steel needles, say, mm, fifteen, eighteen inches long and plunged them, plunged them into (insert cuntservative personality) eyes. What would his reaction be? We can only guess ... but I think it might go something like this... 

[I turn my back to the camera, put on my MAGA hat, remove my eyeglasses and pocket them, then spin quickly, my right hand clutched to my eyes, screaming, shrieking at the top of my lungs. I stagger, collapse to the floor, try to get up. Laughter and applause as I fall the off stage and roll into audience. ]

 

 Take 3:

So, the wall between Mexico and the US that Donald Trump promised is finally completed. And to celebrate, the Great Leader decides to take a sort of victory lap alongside of it, from California to Texas. To accompany him, he has his staff locate his biggest supporter, the one person who stuck by him throughout his campaign and through his eight-year term. They find a guy, he’s from Wisconsin. He has the MAGA hat, the buttons, the shirts. They invite him on the trip and put him in the limo. 

As they are making their way along the fence through New Mexico, they see that a goat has somehow lodged its head in the fence. Trump orders that the car be stopped. 

“Look at that shit!” Trump says and he gets out of the car. 

He walks over to the goat, stands behind it, drops his pants and starts fucking the goat. He goes a pretty good long time, with the goat screaming and stamping its legs. Finally, Trump finishes and turns to the car and yells at the supporter from Wisconsin:

“Hey! You want some of this?”

And the supporter from Wisconsin enthusiastically shakes head in the affirmative and yells out “Oh, yes I would Mr. President!” and he bolts from the car, drops his pants, and sticks his head in the fence. 

SO  this all grew out of an obsession with the work of Michael O'Donoghue, editor of the late great National Lampoon and the early provocateur of SNL (didn''t see much of him included in the "celebrations").

Mr. Lunde despises and mistrusts social networking but it seems now might be the time to chime in. Plus, everyone wants you social handle so you can act as some relay in the promo scheme.....
