I wish Comedy Central or somebody would do a SOTU simulcast with comic closed captions

That's the only way I could sit through this. Someone like Robert Smigel (who did the voice of Triumph the insult comic dog & all the voices from the fake interviews on the old Conan show) would probably be hilarious at it. It would get big ratings.

1. LOL...Like Mystery Science Theater.

Someone should run with this.

2. I thought the same thing

And they should use the robots and the guy from MST 3000. Since it would be on cable, it wouldn't have to be censored.

I think we have a winner of an idea!

3. Or something like Will Ferrell and Molly Shannon covering the Rose Parade.

Running commentary on all the proceedings

4. Like the old "Pop-up Videos" on VH-1.

5. When I was stationed in Denver in the early 1970's there was a radio program...

called "High Street". It was on Saturday nights, and they would tell you to turn on the TV and keep the sound down, and tell you which channel to tune to for the movie (there were usually 2 or 3 movies playing on the commercial channels then). They would then ad-lib a new soundtrack to the movie and all of the commercials. Some nights were better than others, and sometimes the whole thing would veer totally off the rails.

6. That's a great idea. Surprised more places didn't pick up on it with the 80s comedy club boom
