I love how rather than make the anchor hate Kennedy for political reasons, the actor made it about what a playboy he was and how poorly he treated his mother.
Hearing the opening notes of True Trans Soul Rebel directly after this "JFK fucked my mom" sketch was incredibly jarring but not necessarily an unpleasant surprise
About a minute though the video, I foolishly said the same thing my dad said after his first time watching Hamilton, as the first act finished: "What else could there be?"
I think this is hilarious, because people state "everyone knew where they were when they heard the news JFK was assinated". Ya know, as if everyone were devastated. This same type of statement came up from 9/11 tragedy. But, as an 8 year old from that time, I literally cannot recall that day. Though, the true gem of this bit is a news anchor taking the news personally. Apologies for my anecdote.
I was born a month (to the hour) after the second tower going down, and everyone's "I remember where I was..." story is the same. Either in the car or at work, (rarely, home sick) listening to the radio, watching the news in a break room, or someone tells them to watch the news. Every single person, without fail, has said the words "We thought it was a horrible accident, but we were watching the news when a second plane flew in, and we knew it wasn't an accident." I remember one time in college, our professor got checked. It was a sociology class, and we were talking about 9/11 in regards to memory. She shares her 9/11 memory and I pipe up "Everyone remembers where they were, but they were all in the same place. The story is the same every time. They all thought it was an accident while watching the news at work, then saw the second plane and thought to themselves 'this was no accident'" Then other students started agreeing with me, and we all told the mono-story of watching the news on 9/11/01. Apparently this was the first time the teacher realized this.
I’ve also heard that regarding Michael Jackson’s death. I didn’t even realise Michael Jackson was dead until like 2015 and when I realised he was in fact dead, it wasn’t a big moment, I didn’t really care. Those things are also always very America centric. Does everyone remember where they were when they heard the news of the Christchurch mosque shootings? I do, because I was at school in Christchurch but I doubt any Americans really paid attention to it.

Graham so far the only comedian on Characters Welcome to make not one, but two sketches about presidential assassination during politically fraught times, and I'm here for it.
Why is the audience on these always so obnoxious? I get you’re having fun, but all that “whooing” is just distracting. I mean that lady who gasped so loudly...relax, it’s a fake monologue.
it’s ucb. sorry but this is what comedy troupes do. at least a quarter of the time the company is in the audience and these are their friends so everything is funnier and they are more often than not being supportive or trying to knock someone off their game for laughs.
@@lomacke1475 That makes a lot of sense. I feel like CharactersWelcome should probably invest in body mics or something similar to reduce audience noise (the only reason why I'm suggesting this is because they replied to someone else who suggested the same thing and they said they might invest in them).
They paid to be there and have fun. You’re getting this for free. I’ll say the audience is justified and there’s not much to complain about without being picky.
There's nothing disgusting about the title and the comedy is what is referred to as dark humour/black humour. If it's not your thing, that's fine, but that doesn't make it any less comedic.
The fact that he knows the killer's identity only a few minutes after the assassination... This guy was SALTY over mom

Damn, can’t believe his mom was dressed up with nowhere to go 😔
The funniest part of watching Clone High is knowing that everybody knows that at least one core aspect of Kennedy is true to real life.
Yep
Of course. It's that nothing bad ever happens to the Kennedys.
