Maybe I’m just projecting my own politics, but beneath the absurd comedy, I see a clever critique of the nationalist myths surrounding the founding fathers (Even better would be a Bush video…), as well as a commentary on machismo. I guess the contemporary beginning of this genre is the Chuck Norris jokes that began circulating a couple years ago, but this packs a more sustained funny.
