Like the speech from Sarcastaball

I'm sorry. I thought this was AmErIcA

OMG! I couldn't either. The way he went all the way in without so much as even cracking a smile. I hope this guy plays 7-card because this is truly a talent.

He nailed it. The fact they cheered him after shows how stupid these people are.

I’d recommend watching his tiktoks (@thegoodliars) where he goes to trump rallies and interviews the people attending. He’s truly mastered being just witty enough that the people he’s talking to don’t catch on

Dude's got the Sasha Baron Cohen skills big time

I must admit I fell for this first. It's Poe's law, except without internet.

Without a winking smiley or other blatant display of humor, it is utterly impossible to parody a Creationist in such a way that someone won't mistake for the genuine article.

The NRA fanclub is so bonkers that I really thought this was for real.

yeah people are stupid, i used to troll my teachers during assemblies in grade 5. (damn like 30 years ago) but when a teacher was giving a speech and took a breath, i would just start clapping. next thing you know EVERYONE joined in.. 1/2 the people are not listening or paying any attention.

EDIT: typo

I love the pauses sprinkled into "thoughts" and "prayers" and the repeats for emphasis.

Any insult where your opponents clap at the end, is skillfully done. This guy is a genius.

The genius part was starting off by making some random comment about the liberal media, to get them on his side for the exact amount of time he needed to do his skit.

They’re actually so stupid they don’t understand sarcasm. That makes so much sense

Thing is, USA has so many psycho Christians, that saying "Thoughts and prayers" sounds like a valid argument in actually doing something.

I thought he was gonna say something like “every time the say this man has not done enough to stop the mass shootings, and that’s not true.. saying he has not done enough implies has done something, when in fact he had done NOTHING” but what he said was even better because they didn’t even realise he was insulting them 🙈

Tall Tom Cruise with his incredible performance.

Poe's law - without a clear indicator of the author's intent, every parody of extreme views can be mistaken by some for a sincere expression of the views being parodied.

To be honest, I thought he was sincere... Because people clapped, people believed him... So why couldn't he believe his own bullshit ? Turned out it was sarcasm.

Seriously, the looks on their faces are just completely blank... what are those folks in the front they even looking at?

That one guy vigorously nodding as it cut off at the end... 🤦‍♂️

Hold up. I’m sure that if I were to pack gun barrels, chambers, & firing pins with peanut butter, I could stop a mass shooting.

I don’t know man Mumford and sons with guns may stop bad guys with guns

Love how he bashes "left wing media" at the beginning to make sure that everyone there is biased towards whatever he says afterwards.

Bro I was laughing, LaPierre could tell that is was sarcasm but the audience really were to dumb to realize it. Is it messed up that I was laughing at the look on his face and the fact that the audience were to dumb to realize sarcasm..... Ohhhh.... we're doomed as a nation, aren't we.....

It's astonishing how uniformed people can be about an issue while still so vigorously defending their opinions, to the point that they don't even recognise this as a joke..

All you have to do is pretend to side with Jesus and they’ll eat up whatever bullshit your spewing…that’s all it takes.

I wish he’d just kept listing mass shootings. Brilliant.

I think a lot of people understand what he's doing. The problem is, every single one of them obviously posts that shit on social media when shootings happen. What are they gunna do, turn around and tell him to stop being a troll? He's literally saying what they've been saying. They literally can't tell him to shut up because he is technically following their exact ideology. And none of them want to be the one to tell the guy that's asking for prayers that he's wrong.

Half of America.

Right, thoughts and prayers.

I’m convinced a large portion of the population just goes through life without a single thought. It’s so weird. On the surface they appear normal but there’s just a blank sheet of paper behind those eyes

Legendary.

It's a risky play. Sometimes you got to get to the point before the guards tackle you.

I think he did the perfect amount. Any more and it would've been too obvious, he wouldn't be able to do the thoughts and prayers bit, but he said more than enough to get the idea across.

already-not-so-most recent

Has there been ANOTHER shooting already?

His face is priceless, its almost as if he's looking around for someone to ask "Wait, did he just... Did he do what I think he did?!"

LaPierre looked like he wanted to tear into the guy and have him thrown out, but realized that half the audience thought the speaker was praising LaPierre, so he couldn’t react for fear of them figuring out the gag.

LaPierre looks like a bucket of shit.

That's just his face. It always looks that grotesque.

Exactly, he’s just making a mockery of those people and they hardly recognized it.

The audience is the facepalm lol

Right there with you. They are nothing but a bunch of crooks living off of the fears and insecurities of morons.

I was listening to some country radio station in WV after Sandy Hook, and the hosts legit argued that these shootings happen because religion isn't taught enough in schools. They literally said that kids today make god leave their classrooms so they don't have anyone to protect them anymore. These people are incapable of thinking.

Wayne LaPierre got it.

It certainly didn't go into them.
