For a week, it was worth a giggle. A flustered trackside nascar reporter attempting to avoid cursing on the news? That’s hilarious. Like every joke and/or horse, it was rapidly beaten past death. The body still receives unironic thwacks to this day.

Then it was revived as satire and resumed being funny for a fresh week or two. This was over a year ago. The horse is not just dead, it is not even a paste or powder, it has been completely aerosolized in a closed crimson room where people fan it back and forth in remembrance of beating its corpse.

Biden’s the best chance for continued democracy in the US, but I’ve been breathing in Brandon particulate since 2021 and I’m afraid it will give me lung cancer.

    That’s right wing humor in a nutshell, find a joke that’s kinda funny or witty and drive it into the ground for the foreseeable future. I thought it was pretty funny too at first, but it’s years past its expiration date

      At least it gave them a second joke after years of beating the “attack helicopter” thing to death again and again.

      It was funny live, in the moment. The next day it was a dead meme.
