10 Mitt Romney Prank Calls We Want to Make

on January 13, 2012 at 2:27 PM

Tell me you didn't burst out laughing when Mitt Romney got prank called on C-SPAN this week. (You can tell me, but I won't believe you.) Come on, prank calls are funny! They were funny back when you were 12 years old and dialed up your math teacher to ask if her refrigerator was running. Swap the teacher for a senator and the refrigerator gag for a penis size reference and you've got comedy gold, people.

Still, I was kind of disappointed. If you're gonna prank call Mitt freakin' Romney, why waste the opportunity with a junk joke?

The Mitt Romney prank call possibilities are endless ...

1. Mitt? Rick Perry here. Now I'm sorry to have to ask again, but you still owe me that $10,000.

2. Romney! Trump. I got news for you, my friend ... you're fired!

3. Senator Romney? This is Kim Kardashian. That really wasn't cool, what you said about my marriage to Kris Humphries. So listen, my mom has a message for you: Sleep lightly.

4. Is this a Mr. Mitt Romney? Just letting you know, your order from Bob's Big House of Smokes 'n' Beer has shipped. That was 40 cartons of Virginia Slims and 10 cases of Schlitz, right?

5. Ola, Mitt? It's your cousin Juanita! When you are coming to visit us in Mexico? The children want to hear the stories of the indoor plumbing again!

6. Um, hello sir. This is Robert Pattinson. Would you be so kind as to do us a favor and stop telling people you like Twilight? Much obliged.

7. Hi-ho, Kermit the frog here. What the %^&* do you mean you're gonna eliminate federal funding from PBS?

8. Good afternoon Mr. Romney, this is your bank calling. We're calling in regards to some unusual account activity -- for the first time since you've been with us, your checking account has dipped below $13,500,000.

9. Uh, hey, this is Pizza Express? Just checking your order, cause you kept flip-flopping back and forth. Pepperoni or plain, dude?

10. ROMNEY! It's your main man John McCain! You ready for another endorsement from yours truly? You can run but you can't hide!

What would you say if you prank called Mitt Romney?

Maybe I just have no sense of humor today. I can accept it if that's it. However, none of those even cause me to snicker a little.

Are you serious? There was not one single funny comment there, just a mish-mash of thinly veiled avarice towards Senator Romney. Let's see, we've got a crack based on a comment taken out of context... lame. A potshot based on religious intolerance... (being a Democrat, I guess we SHOULD take you up on your "professional Hypocrite" comment) an unfunny comment about Twilight... Umm, whatever. Another comment that I suppose is an attempt to parley with the Occupy movement and the "99%ers"... (you SURE you want to align yourself with those guys?) A feeble shot at the "flip flop" banner that Romney's opposition has tried to, unsuccessfully, label him with... also lame. and, well... let's be honest here, if PBS had become a bastion of right-wing banner waving and agenda pusher's YOU'D be upset about your tax dollar funding it and hollering to defund it, too. All in all... pretty weak sauce there.

I failed to see humor in any of this article. A very weak attempt. Being a comedian is not in your future.

First off, I want to echo everything Doc said! I am SO sick of hearing the same old tired arguments over and over again about Mitt Romney. He's a flip-flopper? Who hasn't changed their mind about anything before? His comment about the Kardashians? Kind of amusing! Making a comment about betting money, something we all do regardless of whether we do in fact have $10,000 to spare... and finally, I hadn't heard about the firing people comment (although I live in NH, not sure how I missed it if it's been in the news) until now. I guess I never heard about it because it's not newsworthy! You mean to tell me that you would like it if you had no choice about where to go for services? You would like not having control over what insurance company you have or which cell phone carrier you use? This is not funny in any way, nice job being spiteful though.

Romney was NEVER A SENATOR, you ignorant savages! Seriously, as a woman, I am SOOOO offended by the pre-pubescent trash that appears here.
