Shuster is back with this week’s Top 5 comedic satire clips, and the writers’ room of the internet has been working overtime. A Turning Point USA CEO gets the Elvis Costello treatment for a bizarre video that’s already taken on a life of its own. A Lego-AI hip-hop track recaps Beijing flipping the script on the Trump trade team’s motorcade in real time. And a Cecil B. DeMille-style epic—starring Marco Rubio, Lindsey Graham, Caroline Levitt, and a South Carolina pastor—commemorates a particular 22-foot tribute that has to be seen to be believed.
[Did we say AI? Because it most certainly has its uses. And, yet, nobody’s talking about how it may also devour certain futures. Except us. We’re blaring that warning.]
The top two clips are the killers. Randy Rainbow takes a Billie Eilish Barbie anthem and re-weaponizes it against the Trump cabinet’s most enthusiastic ass-kissers. And the number one clip is an old Irish folk song that should not, by any logic, be this catchy applied to Trump’s Strait of Hormuz disaster—but it is, and you’ll be humming it through Thursday. Shuster makes you wait for them.
It was a week where we again saw Republican cruelty, corruption and incompetence. And Democrats undermine their colleagues courageously fighting Trump. But what Shuster gives us here. Now this, this is perfection. So pour something. Press play. Then send it to the most wound-up person on your contact list.
