Laugh Attacks

JAY LENO

“This horse meat scandal just keeps growing. And it isn’t happening only in Europe. According to a new report, donkey meat has been found in hamburgers in South Africa. Consumers said when they were eating the burgers, they sensed something was wrong but they couldn’t quite pin a tail on it.”


“In fact, in South Africa more than two-thirds of the meat products tested contained undeclared ingredients. Or as we call that in this country, a hot dog.”


“In a White House briefing, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano warned that sequestration would affect border security. Her remarks raised eyebrows in Washington and got big laughs in Mexico.”


“President Obama said this week that after four years as president, ‘you realize all the mistakes you’ve made.’ So apparently he DOES watch Fox News.”


STEPHEN COLBERT

“Demographic shifts are making it harder for the GOP to win nationally. Apparently in 2012, minority voters just didn’t connect with the Republican message of ‘Stop, thief!’”


“Our heroic drones have so rattled al-Qaida, its leaders are distributing a 22-point tip sheet on how to avoid them. Like tip number 12: ‘Maintain complete silence of all wireless contacts.’ Here’s a pro-tip: switch to AT&T. No one will ever find you!”


“Since the brutal presidential election, there’s been a lot of soul searching going on at Fox News. I am confident that they eventually will find one.”


“The War on Terror just turned 12-years-old, which explains why it’s into remote controlled planes.”


CONAN O’BRIEN

“Last night a toilet flooded the lobby where the Oscars show was being held. The show won an Oscar for best portrayal of a Carnival cruise.”


“Big winner last night was ‘Life of Pi,’ a story of a young man who wakes up in a lifeboat with a hyena, zebra, orangutan, and tiger, which oddly enough, is also the plot of ‘The Hangover 3.’ ”


JIMMY FALLON

“We have first lady Michelle Obama on the show tonight! I plan to ask her some serious questions, like, ‘Do you think that I could pull off bangs?’”


“That’s right, Michelle Obama is here! Everyone at the White House is excited. In fact, I heard they’re even letting Biden stay up to watch.”


“Michelle Obama is actually here tonight to talk about her fitness initiative ‘Let’s Move.’ Meanwhile, Chris Christie will be on next week to talk about his initiative ‘Let’s Sit.’”
