Ben Quayle Ad Sparks Almost Funny Parody From Second City "Comedian"
 |
The ad sucks. It's tacky, lame, and concludes with Quayle saying he wants to "knock the hell out of Washington."

Second City has historically been a feeder for Saturday Night Live (prior to it sucking) and other popular comedy shows, with famous alums like John Belushi, Bill Murray, Chris Farley, and Stephen Colbert -- all very funny dudes.
Andy Cobb, the "comedian" in the Quayle spoof, not so much.
With all the potential fodder -- Quayle's ties to "The Dirty," his lack of experience, etc. -- we thought the comedy troop would knock a parody of one of the lamest political ads we've seen in a while out of the park.
They failed. We didn't even crack a smile.
Rather than coming up with some original material for the skit, Cobb recycles 20-year-old Dan-Quayle's-dumb jokes, followed by a dud of a potato-e bomb.
So, without further ado, here is Second Cities weak attempt at satire. If you're expecting a chuckle...don't.
