South Park – How they Arrived at the Bailout

South Park Bailout Mat

Gotta hand it to South Park for always being relevant, no matter what the topic. I caught this video last night on a finance/economics blog of all places, and I have to say I laughed out loud. This video premise kind of reminds me of a previous South Park episode where they make fun of Family Guy, saying that all ideas for the show come from Manatees with Idea Balls.

Similarly, in this episode, bailout decisions are made from where an object falls on the mat of bailout options (similar to Tom Smykowski‘s Jump to Conclusions Mat). In order to choose what to do with an ailing bank or insurance company, the government (in this case white wig wearing bureaucrats out of the 1700′s) cuts off the head of a chicken, and another person plays a Kazoo. The chicken runs around with its head cut off, and wherever it lands, we have our solution! Instant Bailout! I like the other options as well:

Let Fail

Try Again

$90 Trillion

$1 Billion

Indian Casinos

Tax The Rich

Telethon

Print Money

Given those options, I actually think that maybe South Park is right and we need a bailout!

Thanks to Calculated Risk for the video

I’m going to let this one speak for itself. Thank you Adult Swim. Too funny.

Mark Wahlberg Talks to Animals – Saturday Night Live

OK, so I”m a little late on this one, but it’s still worth showing (especially because of this week’s response from Markey Mark). Here is Andy Samberg’s impression of Mark Wahlberg talking to animals. I’d say it’s fairly accurate! Marky Mark was not very happy, though, and took offense (more on this in another post), which lead to him appearing on SNL this week in a pretty funny follow up.

More Ricky Gervais from his stand up. This one was sent to me by Rich over at Google.

My favorite line:

“Sharks would have found Anne Frank like that… Nazi’s Rubbish”
