Featured Funny Video:Â Elizabeth Warren: A Biting Chance
As the 2020 presidential race heats up, Elizabeth Warren has taken to guerrilla campaigning with the first installment in what we imagine may be a new cooking series called Elizabeth Warren: A Biting Chance. (Weird, right? We’re just as surprised.) Warren is out to show her critics that she’s a lot more than a Pocahontas punch line, and that whether she’s on the Senate floor or in her kitchen, she’s got policy on the brain.
Wait a second, that isn’t Elizabeth Warren working the burners, it’s comedian Molly Erdman doing a truly top-notch Warren impression for what amounts to … tens of people at this point. She needs more love from her pasta-loving, populous peeps!
Erdman nails Warren’s look and cadence while delivering partisan barbs thinly veiled as cooking tips. She sets up the recipe for her “The System Is Rigged-atoni†by saying, “You own a restaurant and charge people to eat there? Good for you. But I’m sick of predatory restaurants taking advantage of my inability to cook for myself.â€
Is the comedy here as simple as the pasta she’s boiling up? Sure, and it goes down juuust as smooth.
