I thought The Water of Life was the answer to #3

Well, I can’t fault him for not knowing. Nerds do not indeed know it all. In fact, during Hodgman’s last appearance on The Daily Show, he made a Gremlin reference and said that the Mogwai population of California would get wet and turn into Gremlins. This is incorrect because they only turn into Gremlins when they eat after midnight. They simply multiply in either form when they get wet.
Regardless, this was very entertaining. Love Hodgman.

I just became a John Hodgman fan… what he just did their was AMAZING. He took liberals view of Obama, people who say he’s not delivering the change he spoke about in the campaign and basically saying Change takes time, this is the beginning, not the end of the change, and to calm the fuck down and give the man a chance LOL. *Applauds* Go John Hodgman!!!

By the way, it’s 1) Shai-Hulud, 2) Thumpers and the third is a trick question, but Sandtrout is probably what he’s angling for. No vomit is involved.

Fucking Barrack Hussain Obama is not only Forcing the Republic of the United States of America into a horrible depression by allowing two trillion dollars to be printed up by the treasury without anything backing it up but stinking CROOKED AIR.
He is also allowing every half assed criminal COMMUNIST DICTATERSHIP to make the USA look like am IMPOTENT CLOWN.
Fuck this NAPPY IMPOSTER from KENYA.

Damn it, indeed, sir! I will have your response! If you insist on not commenting on the video in question, then, at least, what manner of nerd are you? Star Trek or Star Wars? Arthur C. Clarke, or Isaac Asimov? Mac, or PC? Silverberg or Bradbury? Tolkien, or Salvatore? Sir, I insist, tend to the matter at HAND!

The USA PATRIOT ACT? Passed while he was a state senator? He voted for that? Was this some sort of federal-state level legislative exchange program?

rtardbox, anyone who repeats the lie that obama is not an american has the sickness, the rot that started with Reagan and goes deep into the right and must be discarded. Reagan and his revolution have been proven wrong, the republican housing crash is the final nail, the proof that markets do not do the right thing by themselves. Go left young man. Obama isn’t left enough, which is what Hodgman is joking about, that he is criticized by the left for not being left enough.

ugh… go watch some of my favorites

Damnit people. Do some research. A youtube comment thread won’t explain it all. Go watch some of my favorited videos…

If we automatically have freedoms, then what are you complaining about? You’re the one who brought it up. Face it, you’re just bitter your side not only lost, but has been discredited as a 30 year mistake now headed for historical obscurity. As Bill Mahr said, the democrats are a center right party, the repubs are crazy. There is no real left progressive party, but that’s what the majority wants.

1. Fuck you.
I figured I should let that hang in the air while I continue with my other points.
2. John Hodgman is a brilliant Author and comedian. His comedy simply requires a minimum IQ that you certainly do not have.
His comedy draws on the rediculousness of the world around us, and exaggerates it.
3. Obama is certainly better than an old crippled man with a rage problem and some stupid whore.
4. He is an american citizen. Hodgman was joking, as always.
5. Fuck you.

Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how did you enjoy the speech?

Please list the rights he has singlehandedly taken away.
By izago909 on Jun 20, 2009
No body gives us freedoms, we automatically have them. Oh and Obama voted for the Patriot Act and voted away many rights while senator… Don’t even get me started on what he has taken from us while in his Presidency.
By Organjic on Jun 20, 2009
That was not a “roast”. Hodgman WANTS his President to be a nerd.
