1. Nothing surprises me anymore

The dumber the Republican, the better their base likes them.

[gratuitous]

2. Those were the days

That never existed.

[lastlib]

33. (He's been watching "One Million Years B.C." again..........

...and thought it was a documentary.......

Not saying he's an idiot, but in a battle of smarts, I think a cabbage leaf could take him...)

[ornotna]

38. Or The Flintstones

But you're probably right. He could follow the dialogue.

[DBoon]

3. Well, I defend women from killer trilobites!

That makes me even stronger!

[Miguelito Loveless]

4. The Flinstones

was a child's cartoon, not a documentary.

[Wingus Dingus]

12. Wait--you're saying we DIDN'T use brontosauruses for prehistoric construction projects?

[Bucky]

25. a lack of animal-based appliances would explain my kitchen sink right now

My kingdom for a paleo-octopus

[GeoWilliam750]

40. I used to ride a dinosaur to school when I was a kid

It was only a gimpy old iguanadon on its last legs, but it got me to school

The cool kids rode velociraptors. You had to watch out for those....

[malaise]

5. His Science classes were watching the

Flintstones

[Diamond_Dog]

14. Bwahahahaha!

[njhoneybadger]

20. Yabba Dabba Doo!

[malaise]

Damn you made me laugh...and laugh

[The Magistrate]

7. I Blame This Man, Sir

[rickyhall]

8. Talking about extinct animals or antique republican congress critters?

[LetMyPeopleVote]

9. This guy is an idiot

[Hav]

10. I thought it might have been from a joke site

but the article actually references a video with a couple of more great takes:

Who would vote for such a repulsive idiot?

[Caliman73]

15. I am surprised he only has ONE failed marriage

He looks like a 3-4 failed marriages type of guy. The only thing feminism asserts is that women should have dignity, respect, and opportunity equal to men. The only people who oppose that are people who think that men are inherently better than women and that women deserve no such thing.

He just oozes "jerk" doesn't he?

[Bucky]

26. Thank you. A true feminist would not be offended if I protected her from a dinosaur

But she might be stunned that it was necessary.

[Cracklin Charlie]

11. These guys really need to steer away from this "masculinity" issue.

They don’t seem like the most masculine bunch of spokespeople. I don’t need a fat pasty old white guy to defend me from any dinosaurs.

Somehow, I think it’s gonna backfire.

Edit to add: that guy dumb.

[bucolic_frolic]

13. Waiteth, I thought the world was created in 4004BC at 5 pm

and anyway if you beleive in evolution Dino's were pre-historic. Anyway, man can't handle an elk so he was a bit underpowered to handle dinosaurs.

[DavidDvorkin]

16. Just the other day, my wife was complaining that I no longer defend her from dinosaurs

The way I did when we were first dating. I pointed out to her that it no longer applies because we're both dinosaurs now.

[Marcuse]

17. Doesn't Sean know that real men didn't kill dinosaurs - they tamed them.

[nuxvomica]

42. I can't stop watching that

It's sublime.

[Solly Mack]

18. When you live in your own reality it's no wonder Big Bird seems like a threat.

[Budi]

19. 😏 wait for it....

22. I'm pretty good at eviscerating Republican dinosaurs...

... but many of the women in my life take after Nancy Pelosi.

[milestogo]

23. Barney Rubble, my hero!

[sakabatou]

24. I want to see if Parnell can defend himself against a flock of angry geese

Or just one cassowary.

[Baitball Blogger]

27. Yep. Nothing escapes their scrutiny. Sharp tongues, if not minds.

[sarcasmo]

28. GOP and this masculinity thing will be hilarious.

[Withywindle]

29. Aside from the obvious prehistory fail

I don't think T.rex would take gender into account when assessing crunchiness level and nutritional value.

[Crunchy Frog]

30. Since birds are technically dinosaurs,

I've had lots of dealings with them when I worked in wildlife rehab.

I've been bitten a few times, but I can't recall ever needing to be defended by a man.

[ProfessorGAC]

31. Give The Guy A Break!

He's only off by 65 million years. Just a rounding error.

[Johonny]

32. Sadly the mammals that tried this strategy are now all extinct.

[lostnfound]

34. Tyrannosaurus jaws were much weaker than we thought?

Couldn’t bite through leathery skin?

[KY_EnviroGuy]

35. But we were taught dinosaurs prefer the taste of male humans just rolled in a salt lick..

and consumed raw. And, dinosaurs never learned how to cook their food and that's why they went extinct according to Big Green Egg fans.

Hell, Republicans are all dinosaurs so it would be an honorable thing to defend anyone from them.

KY........

[RFCalifornia]

36. Whaaa? Flinstones as a history source? nt

[Liberal In Texas]

39. Beat me to it, first thing I thought of. These people get their scientific knowledge from

a TV cartoon show. Or maybe the bible thumpers who think men and dinosaurs co-existed.

[yellowcanine]

37. Well Newty defended the fair sex from giraffes.

All in a day's work for a REAL MAN.

[Demovictory9]

41. ..

[DFW]

43. Now that I think of it......

My wife never even gave me a second glance until I stopped that Tyrannosaurus Rex from gobbling up her family's village......

[TeamProg]

44. Oh no.. Evil AND stupid are really dangerous in any time in history, but in today's

world?

How the f*** does one get away with this shit?

[eppur_se_muova]

45. Every cartoonist now has license to depict Parnell as Alley Oop !
