Jan. 6 Hearing Review: A Tour De Force That Demands To Be Seen On The Largest Screen Possible
Babylon Bee ^ | 06/10/2022 | Babylon Bee

January 6th Hearing (2022)

Directed by Bennie Thompson

Drama/Horror - R - 6h 39m

The latest Democrat drama January 6th Hearing, the hotly anticipated sequel to Impeachment 2 and Mueller Report: The Reckoning, aired on TV screens for the first time last night, and I am happy to report that it met—nay, EXCEEDED—my wildest expectations.

I am still shaking and soiling my trousers hours after the credits rolled—it really was that horrific.

Over the course of several hours, we learned that some rioters tried to destroy our democracy by entering the Capitol Building and taking selfies and putting their booted Nazi feet upon Nancy Pelosi's sacred desk. We learned that some of them broke a window and used bad language—even the "f-word!". One of them wore a buffalo hat and face paint that made him look like the demon who haunts my sleep paralysis dreams. And then, to cap it all off, when they were done, they went out for tacos. TACOS!

The camerawork was masterful. The dialogue was sharp and poignant, delivered with the classic monotone cadence of a bored politician. Liz Cheney was a standout here. I fully expect her to be nominated for a Golden Globe, an Oscar, and Teen Choice Award. The revelations pierced me through to my very soul, scrambled up my insides, and made me throw up all over the floor several times.

Above all, the hearings proved one thing: the Republicans are mean and yucky and we must donate all our money to help the Democrat politicians win their reelection campaigns this year. If we do not do this, the Republicans will murder our holy democracy.

January 6th Hearing is a masterpiece—a tour de force that demands to be witnessed with friends on the largest IMAX screen available. Call on your local theater to show the hearings in every time slot around the clock forever. Democracy hangs in the balance. Walk—no, RUN—to your nearest IMAX and see this—you know—since you can't afford gas to drive anymore.

5 out of 5 stars

a Tour de Force? Or a Tour de Farce?

Sometimes Babylon Bee does satire right. Other times they ruin satire by using too much truth. This is one of those times.

I once thought they had the best jobs in the world; now, I think that satire is getting much more difficult.

What a joke these hearings and this committee are - the Chairman of the this committee believes George W. Bush stole the election from John Kerry and jointed a challenge - voted against certifying the Electors.

“Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends
We’re so glad you could attend
Come inside! Come inside!
There behind a glass is a real blade of grass
be careful as you pass.

Move along! Move along!

Come inside, the show’s about to start
guaranteed to blow your head apart
Rest assured you’ll get your money’s worth
The greatest show in Heaven, Hell or Earth.
You’ve got to see the show, it’s a dynamo.
You’ve got to see the show, it’s rock and roll”

Basically an infomercial for the Democrats ignoring some deep questions of substance. Why were requests for more guards for the capital ignored? Why can’t the FBI locate pipe bomb man? Was Ray Epps ever fully investigated? Oh never mind, orange man bad

I was going to watch J6, but then I thought, I never saw J1 through J5, and would I really know what was going on in this one?

The guy from Parks and Rec outruns dinosaurs, again, right?

No, he gets eaten right at the beginning. The rest of the movie is just a bunch of dinosaurs high-fiving each other and smoking cigarettes.

Oh, spoiler alert. I probably should have said that first.

I’m waitin’ for her to be slimed at the Nickelodeon Awards.

Bennie Thompson = Ulrikh

Liz Cheney = Vyzhinsky

Hiding in the backgound = Pelosi

Putting the ice pick in Trump's head = TBD

I'd rate it right up there with any other Hollywood blockbuster in terms of drama, pathos, nonexistent plot, and a cast of perverts. They still need a tear-jerking theme song, though.

My two feckless librul sisters are lapping it up like a bad soap opera and texting us all breathlessly with every twist in this sordid mockery. A tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

After watching a few Fox clips of the hearings I, too, felt your pain and anguish to the point of wanting to empty it passionately and immediately into my—
BIDET!!

Exactly. This doesn’t read like satire at all.

Well, it sure wasn’t King Lear!
Which, btw, is interesting since (if memory serves me) the German word “leer” means “empty”.
I suspect Shakespeare would have known this.
