Shuster is back with the Top 5 comedic satire clips of the week, and the writers’ room of the internet has been busy. Five AI-driven, song-parody, and Lego-animated takedowns made the cut, and not one of them needs more than ninety seconds to ruin a politician’s day. Patrick Fitzgerald gives Rudy Giuliani the send-off he didn’t earn. The Muppets show up to explain the Strait of Hormuz with a song you’ll be humming through Tuesday. A Lego version of Mike Johnson sweats through his own poll numbers in real time. And then there’s a fake pharmaceutical ad—you’ve probably already seen the gif of it floating around your feed, but you have not seen Shuster’s framing of it, which is the version that sticks.
The number one clip is a 1960s-sitcom parody so on-the-nose that even people who weren’t alive for the original will get the joke instantly. We’re not going to spoil the title—Shuster makes you wait for it—but if you’ve spent the last six weeks watching a botched war stagger forward while the cabinet pretends it’s all going to plan, this one is going to land. Hit play. Laugh out loud. Then send it to the most wound-up person in your life. Public service.
