OK! I have been laughing out loud for about five minutes now. I have just watched an episode of a Comedy Central cartoon TV show called “Lil’ Bush” on Youtube. Before I moved to the new house where I have a digital cable TV channels, I didn’t hear of this show. All the similar sarcastic cartoon shows I could enjoy in my old apartment were “South Park” and “The Simpsons.”
When I saw the first episode of Lil’ Bush, I couldn’t control myself from laughing like a mad man. Seriously, the characters are amazingly and accurately well-put. Donick Cary, who created this show, did a fantastic job in bringing the exact image of the current US administration headed by Bush. God job man, good job.
Lil' Bush takes place in an alternate reality version of modern times, where George H.W. Bush is president and George W. Bush ("Lil' Bush" on the show) as well as other major modern politicians (many of them members of real-life George W. Bush's staff) are all children attending Beltway Elementary School. Issues the current Bush Administration is involved in---for example, the Iraq War---are transferred to the elder Bush, but feature the younger Bush interacting with them in various ways.

Yesterday’s episode was about how Lil’ Bush’s group goes to Iraq so that he brings his father the best gift ever on Father’s day. In this episode, many expressions Lil’ Bush uses match what he and his group do in reality. The funniest part is when the episode starts with Lil Bush is flipping through the TV channels and all he can hear is the bad news coming form Iraq. His father then interrupts him and takes the remote control and barks “You kids are not supposed to watch anything but Fox News.” After that Lil' Bush meets up with his friends whom he calls “gang”, indeed, they decide to disguise themselves and join the U.S. army to go to Iraq. After they join the army, Bush, oops I mean Lil Bush, says “Let’s go to Eyrakstan.” When the “gang” reaches Baghdad, they walk in the streets surrounded by destroyed buildings. As they reach the Green Zone, they see an entirely different world with Halliburton employees jump over hills of golden coins and then walk into Saddam’s former palaces. Then Condi asks Lil’ Bush to kidnap and Iraqi child and take him to his father as a Father’s day present. He asks his father to adopt the child to bring “good news” to the Americans! For their bad luck, Lil Bush’s younger brother kills the adopted child “by mistake”!
Other episodes I have just watched are posted on Youtube. One of them is called “Nuked” in which Lil Bush appears having fun using his father’s nuclear weapons machine to destroy his Lil’ enemies who include Lil’ Saddam! In other episodes, Lil’ Bush appears kind of stupid at school, especially in religion and sports in which he doesn’t recognize which is the basketball and which is the basket! Also in one episode, Lil’ Bush mocks God and dismisses him by force from his house as the entire family watch him do that. The funniest part is that God appears very angry at Lil’ Bush telling him that he is “distorting everything.”
My favorite character in the whole show is Lil’ Condi. She doesn’t really appear evil like she does in reality. She looks pretty nice and smiley all the time, but her schemes and plots with the “gang” are well-put. Though Lil’ Bush’s character is phenomenal, Lil’ Cheney’s character is the funniest in the show. He appears as someone who doesn’t know how to speak words and all he can do is make some noise like “wawawawa”! I am even laughing as I am writing this.Man! This cartoon is the funniest show I’ve ever seen. I thought that no satirical cartoon will be better than South Park, but I was wrong. This one is the funniest by all means.
Finally, I really want to congratulate Americans for having this wonderful democracy and freedom of speech that does not differentiate between a president or a citizen when creating problems and disasters. Satire is the best form of freedom of speech in my opinion. I loved it when Jonathan Swift wrote his “Gulliver’s Travels,” and I loved it more when I watched “Lil Bush."
