Triumph the Insult Comedy Dog Talks to Young Voters in New Hampshire

The shallow levels of testosterone in the males is especially repulsive. They just sit there and take the abuse. Presented as "comedy" it quickly becomes "horror."

"Horror" is not a strong enough word.

The girl on the left. Pink sweater. Cat video reviewer. Good potential. Hopefully they don't ruin her. The gears are turning.

It's true, the presentation of the Oppressor Class Representatives as "male" is fairly sick-making, but watching the girls' inability to respond to in-your-face ridicule is almost worth the time spent.

This is the pre-school generation in all its glory; the one thing they can all agree on is the necessity of holding hands while crossing the street.

Apparently Robert Smigel (the hand behind Triumph) coached the students a bit:
"I told the kids, “Act like you believe in what you’re doing and saying,” so they might have actually gone a bit too far. I can’t tell how that one actually plays because usually people laugh when they’re being made fun of. These kids were trying to hold it in."

Nevertheless, they were clearly trying to walk the rhetorical tightrope-in-a-crosswind that is college today.

Back in the last century when I went to college, most of my pals were liberal if not hard-Left... and we would have laughed our asses off both at Triumph's lines, and at this uptight bunch of humorless, frightened wusses.
(I also don't remember any undergrad males in my large State University being as fat as two of those pathetic cucks in the vid.... )

Triumph was a big thing when these college students were in the womb. That's something that I have to make my self remember - I got shirts older than these kids.


Another thing I have to remember is that I once played the game at college, the game where you shut-up, keep your head down, get the grade, and get out of Professor Loony's class intact. In the YouTube age where unfortunate pictures and videos appear in social media to be greeted by an electronic lynch mob I would bet that more of these kids are more than cautious.

@Mikey NTH-
You nailed it about "those" professors. I had more than one myself. And college students beholden to the almighty G.P.A. quickly learn the unspoken rule: "Disagree, get a "C".
Damn I'm glad that shit is over.

You're right about that - but apparently not cautious enough to avoid situations like this one with no possible positive outcome. My experience even at this age is that liberal clusterfucks are more easily avoided than anything else.

I realize my age ever more acutely when a grown man like you talks about "keeping his head down" in college. Even in the '80s I never woulda lasted. When I was in college in the '60s I quit outta boredom more than anything else; just couldn't see the point - and absolutely no one was trying to tell me how to think

55 years of birth-control-pill-estrogen dissolved in the FREEEQ'N drinking-water & THIS is an unsurprising outcome!
Worse than nickel & LEAD (a la Flint, MI!)!

"I know I look like a dog but I identify as a shin guard" tears are running down my cheeks....

That is funny...

I don't even care whether they get that they are being made fun of..

That is not the point. In order to defeat an ideology you have to make it ridiculous. The adherents will be humiliated... especially young kids who take themselves so seriously.. these people hate to be laughed at..

Those kids are humorless, clueless and ball less.

Can we all sing a round of kumbayah?

You know, Gerard, you started this 40 years ago, man. "Imagine theres no country..."

Yes and now I know how Dr. Frankenstein felt.
