TYT: Michelle Malkin's Cringeworthy 'Liberal Dance'



"Conservative blogger Michelle Malkin fancies herself something of a comedian, and thus decided to release a parody video of Michelle Obama's "The Evolution of Mom Dancing" from her appearance on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. Donning a black wig with bangs in the style of FLOTUS, Malkin dances her way through the "Evolution of Liberal Dancing." It's funny—just not funny ha-ha. I mean, it's weird to make a parody of a parody. You know? Mostly, it evokes a response of, "Oh, girl. No."*

Michelle Malkin attempted to mock liberals and Michelle Obama with her "evolution of liberal dance" video. She proved...that she is an embarrassing dancer. And her writer is pretty bad. Steve Oh (COO of The Young Turks), Jayar Jackson, and John Iadarola (Host, TYT University) discuss.

Even if I ignore the political nature of the 'parody', if you're making fun of someone who was ALREADY doing something funny, you have to be funnier/better at it than the original source material, or you will face-plant.

This face-planted. Hard.

Awkward. Unfunny. Embarrassing to watch.

With those shades on and her mouth shut, she's the "just another person" she really is. There's NO doubt she's made this video because she craves attention. It's laughable that this "performance" is SO friggin' stupid!

This was more like a window on what someone is like in an elevator stuck between floors.

It's a repost of TYT taking the original video apart.

Kinda different.

...remember that cheerleader bit she did several years ago, where she did a spell-out of "L-O-S-E-R-S" or something like that in reference to the Democrats?

I've stopped taking Talkin' Malkin seriously for many years - she now just a mildly bothersome wart on America's derriere.
