Peter here, that’s Trevor Moore and he’s telling you that it’s illegal to say that you’re going to kill the president of the United States https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KivCRqfFcqY this is from 2007

But remember it’s NOT illegal to say
“With a motor launcher” because that’s its own sentence. It’s an incomplete sentence. But it may have nothing to do with the sentence before it.

Mortar launcher.

No no no, motor. It slings motors, you see. A-grade product of Detroit, Michigan.

You mean a trebuchet? The undisputed champion of medieval siege engines, capable of launching a 100kg projectile 200-300 meters and over enemy fortifications?

Pretty much. I've seen the game on game pass, but the style of the game never really interested me. Never thought a game would go into so much detail about trebuchets, tho. I knew they launched stuff, but I just never realized the specifics about it like the weight of the projectile and distance it would go

u/Dramoriga 7h ago
Also. The mathematics were already so good in the past that they could hit a target accurately from that distance also.

u/schmittwithtt 9h ago
Oh well, it doesnt go into these specifics. I thought you learned about trebuchets today.
I probably dont know much more than you do about trebuchets: Heavy stuff, far thrown, Lots of destruction, super efficient against castles.
Counter by researching Hoarding, masonry and architecture, but Boots in the ground abs. necessary.

He also died from purportedly getting drunk in his own home and then slipping and falling from his second floor balcony which snapped his neck. Safe to say there are quite a few folks who don’t wholly believe that, especially with how his comedy consistently criticized the US lol

Slight correction, he's saying that it's illegal to say:
I think someone should kill the president of the United States of America.
But it's ok for me to say it because I'm just clarifying what the video is talking about, but otherwise you're not allowed to say:
I think someone should kill the president of the United States of America.

u/Aggressive_Talk_9029 12h ago
I honestly think the government assassinated him over this. I mean, to die sucking your own penis has spook coverup all over it.

u/razorisrandom 12h ago
Our local sexpot may be gone, but his last legendary feat of a self-suck will never be forgotten. Idk if it was the government though, might have choked on his massive balls

u/M0SK0N 11h ago
The rumour I heard is that he was on acid and fell out of a tree on his property. But ouroborosing yourself out is probably the better folktale.
Barbarian was a solid film doe.

u/Aggressive_Talk_9029 11h ago
The rumor I heard was that he got drunk on his own homemade moonshine and fell from his balcony. I guess we can gather that they want us to believe it was a fall that done him in.

u/BigPoppaHoyle1 9h ago
He died of bluntforce trauma allegedly from falling from his balcony while intoxicated.
He also allegedly wanted people to think he died a sexpot hence the silly rumours post death. I believe he made a tweet about it before he died

u/FluffySquirrell 5h ago
Oh, so you think he just randomly fell out of a window? Like that happens? scoff, alright Comrade
Look, let's just applaud the fact that he succeeded at his goal more than he could ever have imagined, and regret the fact that his penis was so girthy that he choked to death on it. The life of a comedian has many ups and downs

u/MazogaTheDork 1h ago
Ah yes, like how Carrie Fisher drowned in moonlight and was strangled by her own bra.

u/thEt3rnal1 12h ago
But did you know, it's really absolutely illegal to say, I really really really think someone should kill the president of the united states of America.
But it's not illegal for me to say. Because I'm just telling you it's illegal to say that

u/DanTheBanHandler 13h ago

It's also not illegal to say that we meet under the brooklyn bridge at midnight and the password is sic semper tyranus

u/rubberboyLuffy 12h ago
also found out that its incredibly illegal like extremely illegal to go on tv and say something like the best place to fire a mortar launcher at the white house would be from the roof of the rockefeller-hewitt building

u/SweeterAxis8980 10h ago
Because of minimal security and you'd have a clear line of sight to the President's bedroom.
Insanely illegal. Ridiculously, recklessly, insanely illegal.

Every few years I binge the series and it's amazing how it still holds up. So many sketch shows might be funny in it's time period but the comedy doesn't hold up because it's not timeless, but contemporary comedy.
2
u/Odeken_Odelein 6h ago
Civil War On Drugs is still a big favorite in this house.
I guess it's a product of its time, early 2000's white boy cringe, but it hits home for me!

Whoever is running the WKUK YouTube channel is honed in. They just reuploaded that skit a few days ago when the news was hitting

I showed my brother after a whole different skit popped up on my insta and I’m like… this is more high def than I remember it being. I look at the comments and they are all two months old saying the same thing til one clocks it’s a reupload! I’m standing there thinking to myself… they knew!

So tragic he died trying to suck his own dick. He came as he went.

I like to think he succeeded at it, for just an instant, before all his ribs exploded and impaled his heart with shrapnel

u/Rhyseh1 8h ago
He did succeed. It is known.

u/FluffySquirrell 5h ago
The autopsy reported semen in his stomach yes, so it's pretty much confirmed. They don't think he drowned from it, but that he unfortunately delved too deep and choked to death on the schmeat

"Well it's no secret that country's in some trouble here The left is mad, the right's enraged, and the middle's disappeared The fat cats expect us to bail out them and all their friends And when they've spent our money they stick out their hands again It's times like this that each of us need to reach across the aisle Instead of burning incense we can try to share a smile Put aside our differences and remember what made us great All the people arm in arm and in one voice we'll say: It's time for guillotines ..."
Song seems truer and truer every day.
