Joe The Failed Comedian: Wurzelbacher Performs Painful Routine At Stand-Up Contest (VIDEO)

The annual Funniest Celebrity in DC contest happened this week and while most of the people involved are not celebrities or funny, one contestant hit the trifecta this year as he's not from DC either. Samuel "Joe The Plumber" Wurzelbacher took the stage this year and performed a sweat-drenched and painful routine in which he took shots at President Obama and claimed to have concubines. He also pretended to be the secret brother of Karl Rove, Francis W. Rove, sent to middle America last year to thwart the Obama campaign. He kept it classy with a line at the end expressing his wishes for Keith Olbermann to die.

So he failed as a comedian. Also failed as a politician. Also failed as a plumber. What's left? How about manager of Palin for President? Works for me.

He looks like he wants to be Larry the Cable Guy, but he doesn't have the brain power.

LOSER.

He's a joke, a joke that for some reason keeps coming up.
Him and Palin are done as far as I'm concerned.
There's much more important things going on, and he's not it.

[judyj]

still a looser...

[wolfmason]

Belt? Shirt? Pants?

[Cogs]

More proof that republicans aren't funny.

[booktone]

This is like an outtake from "Idiocracy."

[awfulawfulbunny]

Haha!

[Hollywooddeed]

What? Joe the Plumber is a failure?

[clearthinker2008]

Joe, it is time you actually got your plumbing license and got back to work.

[michelesda]

Good thing he didn't have a day job to give up.

Were people getting up and leaving toward the end?
I've had McCallan's. You can get it from Binny's on sale for about $35.00. You don't have to be rich, but its like the lottery..."buy responsibly".

I hope this man doesn't have children. They'll have to go to school and other children CAN be cruel.

How embarrassing.

[Hopeforu]

And he had to write that on cards??????????

[GoDogGo]

This guy is a microcosm of everything wrong with the GOP: Not smart, poor grasp of facts, overstayed his welcome...

BTW, I don't know what's more painful -- Watching this or listening to conservatives feign laughter.

[FunPie]

I've said it before and I'll say it again. You actually have to be smart to be funny, which is why so few conservatives are.

What a joke this joker is!!!!

[Daron Gardner]

I really enjoyed that he tried to counter the facts that he was asked to ask the initial question to Candidate Obama (as we all know by a right wing radio show), by acting as if for that to be true he would have had to been an undercover millionaire. He doesn't even seem to be smart enough to realize that you don't have to be a millionaire to have a radio show or anyone ask you to set up a "gotcha" moment as Palin likes to call them.

Honestly - when/where does it end?! How many 'career opps' is one uneducated, nondescript id!0t entitled to have?

Thanks a lot, John McCain - Joe & Sarah are the 'gifts' that just keep on giving ... especially to late-night comedians!
