Here's an excellent writeup specifically describing the usage and intent of the Fundamentalist “Fundie” baby voice used in Sen. Britt's SOTU “rebuttal.” (from an HCR link.)
I just hope someone got Mike Johnson either a laxative or a tube of Preparation H, because that is the most charitable interpretation I can come up with for his behavior. Either that or being Trump’s puppet is really uncomfortable with his fist up… well, you get the idea.
The clapping under the desk thing was odd. I think he was sad that Biden wasn't on his team. He's stuck with that oompa loompa for a leader and he knows it's not going well.
I also won't be surprised when in some years later Moses Mike/Jesus Johnson gets caught in a sex scandal.
Katie Britt really took a lot of hits! I was surprised there were no Stepford Wives jokes in the Twitterverse (that I could see) but I guess I'm the only one old enough to remember the Stepford Wives. I also liked whoever it was who made a joke somewhere that SNL should dedicate its entire show to each cast member doing a Katie Britt thing.
Way to kick butt, Joe. For once I went into my Saturday not desperate for Dad Jokes.
I've seen lots of Stepford wives and handmaiden jokes and references--many in commentary after Heather Cox Richardson's letter...lots of us old people there I guess!
I have to admit I couldn't watch the Katie videos. Her voice creeps me out. The baseball Dirty Dancing thing was amazing and I would totally be the woman who let Susan know her husband was a lying pile of crap. As always, the animals are my favorite. If I were an animal, I would pick the beluga whale just based on that video. Total smart ass. Thanks for the laughs.
Did anyone else notice Mike Johnson with his hand in his jacket like a Little Napoleon ? Just sayin! Kamela had her arms crossed like keep away from me you creep!
Brilliant as always! This is the first SOTU I have watched since Obama was in office. Biden was on FIYAH! And I love him throwing it back at the R's. Touché Mr. Preseident!
I couldn't sit through that SOTU "rebuttal" for more than a few minutes. There's just no way she's fully human! And the Savanah Bananas are well-known for their goofiness on the field. Any resemblance to an actual baseball game is purely accidental!
You should look up their "rules" for Banana Ball! For example, the batter can steal first base, no matter what the count is; there are no walks - the batter can sprint around as many bases as he can without getting thrown out; there's a two-hour time limit; if a fan catches a foul ball, the batter is out. There are more rules, but they're pretty much like the Harlem Globetrotters are in basketball!
The “Dirty Dancing” scene by the baseball team was excellent. I would go and watch a game if it included that! Also, gotta love those beluga whales. As for Katie Britt, ugh!
Another great Xeets , Jay ! I watched the SOTU ! Nice to see that Dark Brandon showed up ! I was waiting for the magats ' heads to explode when the president mentioned them ! Nice burn to the Supreme Court too ! Too bad traitor Thomas refused himself from the SOTU ! You did a great job as always , Jay ! Cheers !

And here's a side-by-side (top-and-bottom?) of Britt's normal vs baby voice.

Thanks for sharing the Jess Piper article. I went on to read her "Daddy Died a MAGA" which was heartbreaking.
Heartbreaking indeed.
Here's the link for those interested in reading Daddy Died a MAGA.

I pegged him as the most unhappy leprechaun.
I just got a lucky charms vibe off of him.

That was my impression too. I felt sorry for that poor chair because he was squirming so much.
It's a big chair. Maybe his feet couldn't touch and he was slipping into obscurity.
🤣😂
Thanks for the usual Sat morning fun.

I saw references to a Stepford Wife in some comments here on Substack but not sure from whom. Definitely apt though.
I also left a comment under Britts post on X
"Shouldn't you be home like a good little Stepford Wife"
I made one of them, and I’ve seen others too. You may or may not have seen mine. I don’t remember where I wrote it.
You are not alone, I did type 'Stepford wife' and how that didn't quite tie with a kitchen that had never been cooked in, but my post wouldn't send.
All Stepford Wives™️ kitchens always look like they haven't been cooked in. Unless you go in the middle of the night when the cooking gets done...

But it was a great Dad Joke 😆
Two male whales were groomed and now they're Woke!
Nah. I think climate change turned them gay.
Uh oh.
😂

I thought MTG looked annoyed at Biden’s reaction to her costume.
At least she recognizes when people are laughing at her. That's a step forward in her evolution.
What would I do without you, Jay, of a Saturday? 🌻🪻❤️
Same

I was afraid they weren't going to heckle him. He's really good dealing with hecklers. Little Mikey told them not to, so of course they did.
Will someone bring back the 'Baby Trump' Blimp! Please!

Thank you for clarifying that because that was wild. 😂

Sounds hilarious thanks for the tidbit

MAGA/QANON will claim that Evil Dems/George Soros/Israeli Space Lasers hacked into poor Sen. Britt's feed and THAT'S why she sounded like an idiot!
I’m all for trump receiving several sentences that are too long for him to complete.
Also, I’m glad I wasn’t the only one who thought that about the bow tie, tee shirt, suit combo - such an interesting image to present to the nation!
It's like something Chris Farley would have picked out for a character costume.
Another great Xeets , Jay ! I watched the SOTU ! Nice to see that Dark Brandon showed up ! I was waiting for the magats ' heads to explode when the president mentioned them ! Nice burn to the Supreme Court too ! Too bad traitor Thomas refused himself from the SOTU ! You did a great job as always , Jay ! Cheers !
Belugas for the win! And they had stiff competition! (Fun fact learned at my local aquarium: belugas necks are jointed, unlike other whales.)
Great pun, Mary!!
