MG Round 1 Question A

 

 

(audience cheers) (Doug presses button revealing Round 1 questions
on the toaster)

Doug: Dom, you won the right to go first.  I have two questions.
Which would you like -- A or B?

Dom: A please.

 

 

Doug: (grabs A; walks to panel) All right.  New game, everyone
on the panel plays it.  Here we go.

Paul the political pundit said, "The economy is so terrible..."

Everyone else in unison: HOW TERRIBLE IS IT?!!!?!?

Doug: "...President Barack Obama just had to lay off << BLANK >>."

(audience laughs) (think music plays) 

 

(stars write)

 

Doug: All right, we're set.  Dom, the question again.

Paul the political pundit said, "The economy is so terrible, 
President Barack Obama just had to lay off << BLANK >>."

Dom: Ronald McDonald.

(a few groans)

Doug: I've heard of cutting the fat -- but that's ridiculous.
Well -- judge for yourself if we see the identities of *other*
clowns as we start comparing answers with Tom.

Tom: Well, one has to cut the fat in difficult times. The most 
useless group President Obama can lay off is...

CONGRESS!

(audience cheers) (buzz)

Doug: Ah yes.  Nipsey Russell's couplet on Congress rings true.

Chad, before we get your answer, another nod to his fine work.
He started blogging on BuzzerBlog.  (audience applause)  One
of my daily reads.  Looking forward to your readings.  Now,
with that, what say ye on this question?

Chad: Man, things are so bad over there he had to lay off...

[MICHELLE]

(buzz) (a few laughs)

Doug: Ouch!  Laying off the Mrs.  Chris, what came to mind?

Chris: Oh, how I *hate* political questions!  I'm a political 
atheist myself; whoever lies to me better in the debates gets
 my vote.  So...I went with first answer that popped in there...

+-----------+
|    Veep   |
| Joe Biden |
+-----------+

(buzz) (audience cheers)

Doug: That was my answer.  Over to Ryan now, Paul the political 
pundit said, "The economy is so terrible, President Barack Obama 
just had to lay off ..."

Ryan: (card)

+===========+
| Joe Biden |
+===========+

(buzz) (more cheers)

Doug: Another veep.  Brian, who you do think the prez laid off?




Brian: Well I'll tell you how bad it is Doug, it's so bad he's 
had to lay off...

JOE BIDEN!


(buzz) (more cheers)

Doug: It appears V.P. Biden was the definitive answer.  Dusty,
last chance for Ronald McDonald.

Dusty: It's a terrible, rotten, no good, horrible economy 
when the commander-in-chief "Obomanates" his second banana...

+-------+
|  JOE  |
| BIDEN |
+-------+

(buzz) (more cheers)

Doug: Hey, another Joe.   Let's review.

 

CONGRESS | MICHELLE | V.P. JOE BIDEN
JOE BIDEN | JOE BIDEN | JOE BIDEN

Dom's response: RONALD McDONALD

 

 

Doug:  Well -- better luck next round.
