[Veritigo_X]

Trying to get that ...youth vote? Do young people watch the Simpsons?

 

[Cheebo]

He can't even do humor right. Awful.

 

[Traumnovelle]

This is even worse than the post Season 9 episodes.

 

[NullPointer]

Animatronic tech is really advancing but I could still tell that wasn't a real human.

Decent attempt though.

 

[Aaron Strife]

He would make a great fusion of Mr. Burns and Flanders - an evil billionaire devout Christian.

 

[Zophar]

Somebody get Billy West to impersonate Ted Cruz.

 

[TheAbsolution]

Wow. This is terrible.
Did he think this through?

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

See, now that we actually have something cringe-worthy, we can't use the phrase because GAF drove it into the ground.

I hope you're happy.

 

[ghostofsparta]

That was terrible. I laughed but only because the quotes are funny.

 

[Snarfington]

He's terrible, but it gets really, REALLY bad when he talks about how great a scene is and then badly misquotes it. Urrrrrrggghhh

 

[Thequietone]

 

[CarpeDeezNutz]

He looks a lot like that vampire grandpa from the munsters.

 

[SlickShoesRUCrazy]

Excellent.

 

[Dishwalla]

Depressing.

 

[Piston Hyundai]

This is even worse than the post Season 9 episodes.

that's very funny

 

[BatDan]

You know Ted, I think we have the place for you.

Seriously, what was that? He sounds nothing like the characters, and he botches that exchange.

 

[DuffDry]

I notice that Groening made sure to pull his signature from this.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Terrible. Sounds like none of the characters.

 

[Damaniel]

That GIF is so creepy...

Yeah, how do you not have the script in front of you when doing something like this?

That exchange from Lisa the Vegetarian is great, though.

 

[Rentahamster]

Tuned off after 10 seconds. Sorry Ted.

 

[Black Mamba]

That GIF is so creepy...

 

[Viewt]

Ugh, serious douche chills.

 

[Mass One]

Nah. The joke sucked.

 

[SocksAndShoes]

Even when he tries to be human he can't pull it off.

 

[Hesemonni]

Yeah, cringe channel.

[daviyoung]

He seems like a nice man. If I wasn't a cynical Marxist with a passport I might vote for him.

 

[Fladam]

 

[Maximus.]

So happy he chose America over Canada and America. You guys can keep his crazy ass.

 

[Lord Fagan]

As bad as this is, and it's really fucking abhorrent, I'm almost expecting Donald Trump to tweet about this, gloating he would be much better at auditioning for the Simpsons.

 

[Hot Coldman]

no-one tell him

 

[Shaanyboi]

"HEY KIDS, I'M WAY HIP! YOU PICKIN' UP WHAT I'M LAYIN' DOWN? I'M INTO ALL DAT YOUTH CULTURE SWAG, SON! LIKE... THE SIMPSONS AND AND AND THE ANGRY BIRDS!"

 

[Mechazawa]

The fuck kind of reception did Buzzfeed think this was gonna get?

 

[afternoon delight]

 

[IdreamofHIME]

 

[ivysaur12]

The fuck kind of reception did Buzzfeed think this was gonna get?

Probably exactly this.

 

[CheDominik]

 

[Mechazawa]

Probably exactly this.

People mocking Buzzfeed for being shills?

I mean, I guess they might be used to getting shit on by now.

 

[wildfire]

How could Cruz not do Kang properly with his theatrics in real life?

Come on.

Come on!

 

[Opto]

The fuck kind of reception did Buzzfeed think this was gonna get?

Let's sink Ted Cruz's ship even harder

"HEY KIDS, I'M WAY HIP! YOU PICKIN' UP WHAT I'M LAYIN' DOWN? I'M INTO ALL DAT YOUTH CULTURE SWAG, SON! LIKE... THE SIMPSONS AND AND AND THE ANGRY BIRDS!"

 

[Ourobolus]

I'd rather vote for Kang

 

[Tugatrix]

he did great...

 

[Mugsy]

Can anyone do that gif thing where you freeze everything in the image but keep his fingers moving? I think Ted Cruz just staring with the fingers movement may be the creepiest thing in a long time.

[Earthstrike]

The cringe is real.

If you mean people making fun of Ted Cruz for thinking this was a good idea, then yes, that's probably the response that they thought it would get when they heard they idea/saw the footage.

I believe you're the only one in this thread that's stated that Buzzfeed is a shill?

 

[The Chosen One]

I give him some credit for quoting Classic Simpsons.

Now excuse me while I vomit.
