Evel Knievel’s revenge.
I’ve been wondering for a few days now if anyone in ancient Rome thought the same way about the gladiator arenas and chariot racing.
That is where the phrase “bread and circuses” (panem et circenses) comes from, an Ancient Roman satirist named Juvenal who was deriding the government’s approach of placating the masses. Other parties also didn’t like the circuses, especially the more violent ones, for example Stoics like Seneca.
Probably a couple of philosophers and other kinds of nerds (i.e. aqueduct builders and lion stabber, etc.)

It uses HOW MUCH GRAIN to feed a horse???
This is the stupidest day in American history, a record that will be broken by every subsequent day in American history.

This is for old folks like me…[Edit - is context even needed?]SUNDAY! SUNDAY! SUNDAY! YOU WILL NOT BELIEVE THE AMOUNT OF SLOP YOU WILL SEE AT THE WHITE HOUSE! MOTORCYCLE SLOP! FIREWORKS SLOP! GOD BLESS AMERICA WITH JETS OVERHEAD SLOP! MUSIC SLOP! DANCING SLOP! UFC SLOP! THAT’S SUNDAY! SUNDAY! SUNDAY!..
ticket pays for the whole seat, but you’ll only need the edge
Shit, like up until maybe a few years ago I’d catch commercials on CNN or the weather channel for MONSTER JAM, so I’d imagine zoomers out there get it.
As a Zoomer I havent watched an ad period or watched a tv in years. I am definitely an outlier on how strict my adblock is and not using any streaming services but not having cable is very common these days so idk how many people are watching CNN or the Weather Channel.
Same
I thought “Sunday! Sunday! Sunday!” - died off decades ago. No?
Yeah I think that died off but it the commercials for MONSTER JAM still had the same circus barker energy.
We’re still saying “bread and circuses,” which came from Ancient Rome, so I think “Sunday! Sunday! Sunday!” can survive for a while even if those ads are much less common now.

My headcanon is that EEUU is a nod to this guy saying ESTADOS ESTADOS UNIDOS UNIDOS
I prefer SUNDAY SUNDAY SOMEDAY

President Camacho
Yes I am a lib deal with it
hardly, Camacho sought out the advice of experts and admitted when he was wrong.
Not to mention he was convinced when shown actual evidence.
Camacho had a materialist view of history. That’s why the liberals talk shit about him.
This rules actually. Well, not the military jerkoff part, but the motorcyclists.
If I somehow inexplicably become president, we’re celebrating the free trains and healthcare by crushing useless military hardware with monster trucks. And there’s gonna be a lot of useless military hardware to go around, because we dismantled the empire.
You know what…you advertise yourself like Monster Jam and tell people you’ll be crushing jeeps with tanks, and then crushing tanks and jets with monster trucks…you actually might get the trump vote.
TUESDAY TUESDAY TUESDAY.

Breadand CircusesOKAY can I now start calling Trump, “President Camacho”? or is referencing that movie still libbing out?
Camacho is cool though he’s just working with the hand he was dealt
Trump is more the brawndo CEO
But also yes referencing idiocracy is always going to be libbing out I’m afraid

but I like some of the gags!Same.
I was in actual special ed when I saw that movie and we quoted it constantly. Its my problematic fav and no one can take it from me
Hey special ed gang! I was in it for math and english. Looking back on it I strongly suspect I have some kind of learning disability that went undiagnosed.
I was in it for sensory issues and behaviour (I skipped a lot)
It was better for me, but also I didn’t learn shit for like two years. Played lots of Minecraft though.
it’s
a lotless problematic if you skip the first 20 minutes
Camacho was unironically a better president than trump.
he doesn’t seem to have committed any war crimes or genocide and that would make him better than all of the presidents
Also no sexual abuse scandals involving minors. Or being involved with people that engage in said abuse, and/or trafficking of minors.
I do remember him grabbing his own crotch provocatively
“President Camacho”
That’s a much-loved lib go-to. I guess it’s not a lib meme yet but it sure will be sometime after tomorrow.
How Andrew Jackson of it all
