Laugh Attacks

CONAN O’BRIEN

“The governor of Arizona punched a reporter who asked her about global warming. Afterwards she apologized. She said, ‘Sorry, I’m a little touchy because it’s almost Christmas and it’s 135 degrees outside.’ ”


“According to a new poll, most Americans think Santa Claus is a Democrat — which is really odd because when I think of a fat, old white man who hires unskilled labor, I think Republican.”

“For the first time ever, ‘Sesame Street’ is going to be tackling the topic of divorce. They want to make it clear that it’s never the child’s fault. And Ernie and Bert will remain friends.”


“This year over 1,500 soldiers were kicked out of the armed forces for being overweight. And half of our fighter pilots are being charged for two seats.”


“According to a global study, American kids are way behind Asian kids in math and science. But American kids are ahead in buying stuff made by Asian kids.”

DAVID LETTERMAN

JAY LENO

“A close friend of mine said his doctor gave him less than two weeks to live. But it turns out his doctor’s a Mayan. He says that to everybody.”


“According to a new study at UCLA, Latinos live longer than non-Latinos. More bad news for Republicans.”
