That joke was about a football league that Ted Turner was talking about creating(which I don't think he ever did).
That pun was really cornea.
I'm guessing it was a tear in the fabric of reality caused by Trump's presidency.
From MST3K's 1997 summer blockbuster review:
Anyone else like old PBS station IDs and funding credits? Fortunately there are a ton of them on YouTube.
What about the scene where the Godfather wears a bucket on his head?
Cracked annoys me when they do articles/videos about why something in a movie would be bad in real life or something like that. It just seems like they're trying to take the fun out of fiction.
Unfortunately the "What if it was you? approach probably won't work with people who think they're different in some important way.
People have been talking about why satire didn't prevent Trump's presidency. Maybe it's this: satire is supposed to be a mirror on society, but what happens if people still don't see what's really there?
Are you suggesting Trump has trouble thinking ahead?
They thought college students need to be convinced to drink beer?
POWAH! UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNLIMITED POWAH!
"No, it isn't. We taught this lion to eat tofu!"
Unlike Trump, Cameron's actually good at making money.
To be fair to South Park, this past season I think they were pretty clear in saying that even though both sides suck one of the candidates was clearly worse. Also, I don't see how they way they make fun of minorities is nastier than the way they make fun of everyone else.
He did say "I love Hispanics!"
Bernie's favorability didn't win him the nomination. Also, you mentioned Trump had even lower favorability ratings, and he's the president. Not to mention the fact that the candidate who did the best in the GOP race besides Trump was Ted Cruz, another one of the most hated people in politics.
I have my doubts as to whether favorability really has a lot to do with electability.
Trump's been in the public eye even longer than Hillary.
