Nate of When in the Course of Human Events [High Praise!] sent me a link to a new Facebook page:
Nate said “I think that will be getting very funny, very quickly.”
I hope Nate’s right, but I’m not holding out much hope for it.
Joe Biden is famous for being a bumbling idiot with an IQ of 30 who stands athwart history yelling “oo! shiny!”
The joke on the “Legend of Joe Biden” page is that he accomplishes legendary feats of prowess like a modern day Paul Bunyan:
Did you know Joe Biden once caught a fish, let it go, and a year to the day, that fish came back to him?
Did you know Joe Biden was in a knife fight for seventeen hours?
Did you know Joe Biden sold his soul for one penny, but that penny bought the Golden Gate Bridge?
It’s the wrong angle to use.
He’s not Daniel Boone, he’s Forrest Gump.
If Joe were on the Enola Gay, the pilot would say “Wow! Look at that mushroom cloud!”, and Joe would respond “And there’s one over there that looks like doggie!”
With Schrödinger’s Cat, you don’t know if it’s dead or alive until you look in the box. With Biden’s cat, you know it’s dead, because Joe’s off in the corner drawing on the wall with crayons, and he forgot to put air holes in the box’s lid.
Anyway, I hope “The Legend of Joe Biden” does a quick course-correction and heads down the right comedic path.
Personally, though, I think they’ll end up Biden’s Cat.
Son of Bob’s perfected Biden humor — using (1) things Biden has actually said, (2) things that he might just as well have said, and (3) things no one would ever be surprised if he did say.
Joe is not another Fred Thompson, Chuck Norris, or Most Interesting Man In The World. He is one of the more interesting specimens in the world, but not in a good way.
Forest Gump doesn’t work either, because Gump was a simple man who touched people’s lives in a positive way, sometimes leading to great things. Biden is a simple man in the same fashion, but he believes he actually does great things.
Fat Freddy’s Cat could kick Biden’s Cat’s a** any day of the week.
Who won? Joe or the knife?
…the second most disinterested man in the world.
@3 – Bacon from a long-time Freak Brothers fan.
C-o-s is right: Gump, although not a mental giant was a kind soul. Biden, on the other hand, is less than a mental midget, is vindictive, and is powermad with delusions of grandeur. For that matter, Biden has delusions of adequacy. Gump was smart enough to know he wasn’t smart, which makes him infinitely smarter than Biden.
@7 – So… Biden is Invader Zim?

Zim is closer to Biden’s character than Forrest Gump, by a long way.
Joe Biden once found a penny, he got really excited because he thought he’d discovered Lincoln’s severed, shrunken, flattened, bronzed head.
Joe Biden loves the taste of feet, his own feet, but still…
Joe Biden once caught a thousand fish in one day, he’s not allowed in that pet store anymore.
Biden is like Lennie from Of Mice and Men…slow, oafish, pathetic, and unintentionaly comedic.
Biden’s take on gun control could be seen as akin to Lennie’s stroking of the puppy.
That or he’s one of the heavily dosed feebs from One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest.
Just not the big angry Red Indian.
Joe Biden’s great-great-great-great uncle was at Ford’s Theater and took a wrong turn when he fired his gun off the balcony to scare away a scary looking person, killing the belief that stupidity is not hereditary.
Biden had to sell his soul for one penny… He couldn’t make change.
We shouldn’t make fun of Cwazy Uncle Joe. He’s a gift that just keeps on giving.
Sorry we should make fun of him but be grateful at the same time.
