I had a sdmb moment the other night.
Okay.
We were watching South Park and I swear one of the kids was doing some fake newscast and said something about Hilary Clinton having a big ass.
Then I starting thinking, Nah, they could’t have gotten this from the sdmb with what was his name John something, who had a thread about this very thing?
Has this actually been postulated before or did SouthPark crib from sdmb??
Since this has to do with television it belongs in Cafe Society. I’ll move it on over.

What episode was it? Do you have an exact quote, original airdate, and link to the SDMB thread?
All these would help to answer your question.
It was a few days ago on Comedy Central.
It was a fake newscast and one of the kids(I dont recall who) was reading copy and said This just in, Hilarry still has a fat ass.
And I was like Wha?
I don’t have a link, but I think his name was Father John. Something like that.
Most here will recall the thread.
Weird…
I made the same connection when I saw the episode a couple of years ago. I think the guy’s user name was Cyberian, but he had several sock puppets - one a young cheerleader. He was kind of an odd fellow if I remember correctly.
Ohhhhh.
Maybe that poster got it from the show…
Now I feel stupid.
But I’m not.
Carry on :smack:
I hardly think that “Hillary Clinton has a fat ass” is the sort of comedic inspiration that strikes but once in a generation. I distinctly remember Dennis Miller, when he was on SNL, comparing Hillary’s thighs to a pair of beached manatees, complete with illustration. I mean, when Jay Leno makes a joke about George W. being stupid, he’s not stealing material from David Letterman.
I think that’s actually a recurring bit on South Park. I distinctly remember a newscaster in one episode saying (I’m probably minorly butchering the quote here), “And Manhattan residents are preparing to evacuate if Hillary Clinton’s ass gets any larger.” I think they’ve done that sort of thing several times, but no other examples come to mind.
I never really understood. Hillary Clinton’s not really tubby, as far as I’ve noticed, certainly not as much as the average American woman her age. I understand that Hillary-bashing is popular, but since she’s not fat, this just never made any sense to me. (Nor is it particularly funny or sophisticated, but that could be said about just about any pop-culture jokes about politicians.)
Matt and Trey’s humor is really hit-or-miss with me. It’s always juvenile, but sometimes it’s really, really clever and sometimes it’s not. This is a little too easy, I think.
I think it’s just a throw-away joke.
Though at one point they said “We hate Conseratives, but we Hate liberals even more”, so politics may have something to do with it.
While Hilary may not be fat all over, baby has definetly got back. She has struggled most of her life with the size of her ass.
I remember a photo taken of them while he was prez, walking together on a beach in San Diego. In their sweats. From the back.
It was bad. I don’t even like her, and I felt sorry for her.
I remember that picture. At first I thought she was some mechanism to combat beach erosion.
Oh, yes. I know that thread well. I played a large role in it back when I was Dewaholic. I, very stupidly, threw myself into a dumbass argument with John John and his sock puppet, SandyCane.
Not my finest hour, I must say. I can’t believe there’s a SP episode that I’ve missed. I’ll have to catch a rerun.
*I didn’t know at the time that she was his sock puppet. :o
Oh, the memories! That thread was around when I was a mere newbie…
Hillary’s ass may be a bit on the large side, but it’s better than Nancy Reagan’s ass. Or, I guess I should say Nancy Reagan’s lack of ass.
Great, now somebody’s gonna flame me for insulting Nancy’s no-ass on our national day of mourning. :rolleyes:
