:rofl:

[cspanlovr]

1. I laughed so hard at that bit, I was crying.

[dalaigh lllama]

7. Jon certainly hit paydirt with this one

Best laugh I've had in a while. :D

[Pachamama]

31. My sides were hurting so badly - I couldn't stop laughing!

:rofl:

The scary thing is that it was a perfect "translation" of what ole Georgie boy tries to feed the American Public....

[dalaigh lllama]

42. Watch Bush cringe every time LR starts talking

I guess I was laughing so hard the first time I saw this I missed this subtlety: whoever photoshopped B*sh has him jumping or cringing slightly whenever LR speaks. This is a gem!

[rubberducky]

2. That has got to be one of the best videos I`ve seen!

[Captain Hilts]

3. I saw that last night. Brilliant! nt

[ronnykmarshall]

4. I love Little Richard.

He's a riot.

[Catherine Vincent]

5. ROFL!

That is funny! I read last night that CatWoman was saying that Philosophator thought of that. Is that true?

[dalaigh lllama]

8. I've no idea

Does he/she work for TDS?

13. lol

That's what I get for going to bed early. :D

[dalaigh lllama]

14. OMG! Philosoraptor came up with this idea August 31

The TDS staff must have been here at DU trolling for ideas.

[Catherine Vincent]

20. Thanks, Catwoman!

:-) And I see it's Philosoraptor.

[Lisa]

34. Wow--so we really did "see it here first". Well done, Philosoraptor! n/t

[Surya Gayatri]

6. ROFL! Oh my God...

I haven't guffawed like that in months! Thanks for posting this for those of us who can't see TDS on the teevee. SG

edit: spelling

[Kadie]

9. ROFL!!!

:rofl:

I haven't laughed like that in a long time. Thank you for posting.

[Lars39]

11. Am I the only one that remembers a DUer suggesting

this a while back? Kudos to TDS for running with it. :toast:

[CatWoman]

12. see my link above

:hi:

:rofl:

[lonestarnot]

15. A DU fart I guess.

[lonestarnot]

16. Dup X3? WTF?

[lonestarnot]

17. Hell yeah! Get down Little Richard! I hope you charged him a bundle

for your interpreting fees! :rofl:

[mikelgb]

18. !!!

ROTFLMFWAO

:rofl:

[Wilber_Stool]

19. Laughed so hard the tears in my eyes

kept me from posting.

It's at C&L for download.

[Truthiness Inspector]

21. That is hilarious!

Kick

:kick:

[librechik]

22. that was tooo tooo funny

[Hoping4Change]

23. I wish TDS would make this a regular feature. Little Richard is brilliant,

the "oh mashed potatos" comment, side-splitting. Thanks for posting a link.

[NYCGirl]

25. Here's the original commercial which explains that comment:

[Hoping4Change]

26. Thanks nycgirl for the illumination. That is one funny ad but its

even funnier with bush. I wonder if Little Richard had to give his okay to TDS?

[NYCGirl]

28. I don't know about Little Richard, but I'm sure the ad agency and Geico

gave their OK.

[Hoping4Change]

27. Even though this was from an ad, I do think think that Richard

doing regular interpreting for TDS would be fantastic.

[Shakespeare]

24. I was laughing the whole time, but when he got to "mashed potatoes!".....

....I completely lost it. SO funny.

[glitch]

29. Oh my god, I love this ad, and seeing this almost caused my heart to stop

from laughing so hard.

[Janice325]

30. That was hysterical!!!

Thanks, I needed that. :rofl:

[Lisa]

32. if only LR had exclaimed "Turkey!"

Oh, well. Can't have everything.

But that segment is why Jon and the gang deserve every Emmy they get!

[Catchawave]

33. I love it !

My favorite response a few weeks ago to new "terra" alerts has been "mashed potatoes, gravy and cranberry sauce", and to think, I was worried it was flying over DUers heads :) Now I'm convinced, TDS reads DU :bounce:

[dalaigh lllama]

35. Ooh, I like it!

Don't forget the "Whoooooooooo!" at the end.

[holboz]

36. THANK YOU!

I've been looking for this to send to my father in law. He visited us from England last week and saw the Geico commercials and loved it. He has no respect for Bush so I know he'll LOVE this.

[Ilsa]

37. I laughed so hard I farted. ROTFLMAO! nt

[DivinBreuvage]

38. God Bless Little Richard, one of the Genuine Kings of Rock n Roll

Not to speak ill of the dead, but to give Little Richard the credit he deserves he could rock the swivel off Elvis any day of the week and twice on Saturday night.

[Philosoraptor]

41. thank you for saying that

[DivinBreuvage]

44. It's true!

I am a huge fan of Little Richard. I discovered long ago that he rocks with an intensity that Elvis Presley never, ever managed to attain. Not in his whole career. Not that I am trying to tear Elvis down, but I think Little Richard deserves an awful lot more credit than he is given. I believe he is one of the most vivid and enthralling musical personalities of the past 50 years.

Have you heard the Pat Boone rendition of "Tutti Frutti"? I didn't know it was possible for someone to be so shriekingly white.

Some years ago, there was a one-hit wonder called Kathy somebody, who did a song called "I Touch Myself". She appeared on one of those network television MTV ripoff shows that sprang up in the late 80s/early 90s, I can't remember when exactly. Little Richard was the guest host. Kathy did her song and came back to meet Richard, who politely said he was a huge fan of her music, and she smiled and said "Thank you, Richard", but I don't think she had any idea that she was shaking hands with one of the founding fathers of Rock n Roll. I felt embarrassed for her, and that moment was burned into my memory.

I'm rambling, so let this count as a kick for this thread, since everyone should see that video! Little Richard, I love you.

45. Tiny correction...

Some years ago, there was a one-hit wonder called Kathy somebody, who did a song called "I Touch Myself".

Actually, 'I Touch Myself' was done by a band from Australia called DiVinyls - and they were a pretty rockin' band. Another song they did was called 'All The Boys In Town,' about the town tramp. It took a pretty ballsy girl to sing that song, and Christina Amphlett handled it great.

This is Christina, live on stage with DiVinyls:


I always thought of her as a cross between Chrissie Hynde (Pretenders) and Angus Young (AC/DC).

You may be thinking of Kathy Dennis (from UK), who did a song called 'Touch Me All Night Long.' Slim redhead, as I remember it. No great shakes, either.

This is Pop Tart Kathy Dennis:


- as

[DivinBreuvage]

46. Kathy Dennis is definitely it!!!

I can't remember anything about the song other than this line: "when i think about you, I touch myself", so that must be why my memory played me false on the title. Thanks, AmericanStranger!

Poor Kathy! I wonder where she is now?

[eridani]

39. Tutti frutti, oh Rudy, Tutti frutti, oh Rudy

A wop baba luba, a wop bam bam.

[eridani]

40. Tutti frutti, oh Rudy, Tutti frutti, oh Rudy

A wop baba luba, a wop bam bam.
