Trump was a buffoon, a loudmouth; if by some miracle he made it through the gauntlet of GOP primaries, he'd trip himself up with some supremely idiotic statement or other, and we'd laugh all the way to November.

You are much more likely to see a buffoon conservative on television (like the Egyptian figure who recently called the rape of women wearing skinny jeans a national duty) rather than the razor-sharp Islamist lawyer in Tunis.

Whether it's getting himself stuck mid air on a zip wire, knocking over innocent children or gurning his way through a variety of sports, the floppy haired buffoon never fails to get himself into an embarrassing photo shoot.

Glen's sidekick/buffoon, Ralph (Charlie Day), pretends to vigorously masturbate for a long while as Glen talks on the phone to his actor/love interest — a physically funny beat that isn't illegal but is also kind of fucked up.

But here, somehow, likely because Warren is so good, and because the songs—mostly note-for-note renderings of the well-known recordings—keep on coming, Ike comes off more as a comic buffoon than as a real menace.

The unrepentant snob Basil Fawlty, the beastly glamour-pusses Edina and Patsy, the fatuous narcissist Alan Partridge, and the thirsty buffoon David Brent: these classic British characters are all flawed in the unapologetic manner of contemporary edgy American comedies.

Photo: Frank Vincentz (Wikimedia)Less than 24 hours after determining that far-right buffoon Steven Crowder's anti-gay harassment of Vox journalist Carlos Maza was basically fine, YouTube has reversed course—or, more accurately, has continued to fishtail around the road.

He tells Rave Curious that as early as 1994, he had already experienced harsh criticism from his so-called peers, like Aphex Twin, who he says once called him a "buffoon" in the press while they were on tour together.

I don't want to write off the value of poking a leader in the eye by portraying him as a buffoon, but there are no levels to Baldwin's performance (or the show's writing for said performance) beyond simpering man-baby.

Rose holds her ground pretty well as everyone tries to control her—Cal is an aggressive buffoon (more on that later) and there's a very intentionally symbolic scene as her mother ties her into a corset and lectures her about the family's future.

|
The thought of an apparent buffoon with nowhere near the necessary knowledge base, appropriate experience or proper temperament becoming a Republican president of the United States is so utterly repulsive and scary that many of them will just sit out the election.
|
|
The idea that Bannon was acting as a shadow president became engrained in public consciousness with the help of "Saturday Night Live," which has depicted the president as a clueless buffoon being manipulated by Bannon, who's portrayed in a Grim Reaper costume.

If we must grade Trump officials on a curve, though, the appropriate test isn't whether Kelly has the mettle to fire a middling buffoon, but whether he can restrain the one who inhabits the Oval Office from gutting the rule of law.

It's called "The Apprentice" (likely a not-so-veiled reference to a certain buffoon Damon Albarn insisted not be named) and features British vocalists Rag 'n' Bone Man, RAY BLK, along with NYC rapper Zebra Katz in a scene-stealing guest verse.

Sacha Baron Cohen's alter ego was a spectacular cartoon of a dim suburban white buffoon appropriating black culture, but the show's tone was really set by the tense, trolling interviews his character conducted with unsuspecting celebrities, journalists and even the current President.
|
|
But although Joey from "Friends" is charming, he's hardly some funny looking lanky buffoon, nor is he a fusty long-haired professorial type, and he certainly isn't a peppy little guy who become sullen when he wrecks a fabulous car on a racetrack.

This episode would be much higher on the list if it didn't make the man who is supposed to be the show's stoic hero look like its most hot-headed buffoon; not even turning the character into Lazarus affected his believability like this episode.

Trump's jaw-dropping defense of white supremacists, white nationalists and Nazis in Charlottesville, Va., exposed once more what many of us have been howling into the wind since he emerged as a viable candidate: That he is a bigot, a buffoon and a bully.
|
|
Some already being recited by people ready to enter the incoming Administration revolve around the idea that Trump is just a celebrity buffoon with no ideology, and that it is incumbent upon them to teach him and to guide him, to fill an ideas vacuum.
|
|
He has a reputation as an untrustworthy buffoon and an even more sinister history of racism: He has compared women in burkas to "letterboxes" and claimed that Muslim immigrants lack "loyalty to Britain" because of their religion: "Islam is the problem," as he put it.
|

At the start of this administration, many who are horrified by Trump, me included, thought that at some point the Republican fever might break, leading conservatives in Congress to check a dictator-worshiping buffoon for the sake of the Constitution they claim to revere.

In the near three hours I stood on the floor of New York City's Madison Square Garden, the 6 God bouncing before me like the buffoon of a pop star he is, I witnessed a wide variety of things I can only describe as terrifyingly exciting.

To you or me, he might look like a complete buffoon, and he might be the epitome of everything that is vulgar and crass and stupid and short-sighted and shallow and mean and beyond contempt … but to him he thinks, 'Look at me, I'm f—ing great!

But like an iceberg's hidden bulk, most of that background is unknown to members of the audience, who have no idea that, say, the briefly glimpsed school mascot has a name (the Maroon Buffoon) or that the company wrote a theme song for the telethon ("The Final Finish Line").

"If you wrote a piece saying, 'I think Trump is a buffoon and he's reckless, and he doesn't really know that much, and he's kind of the accidental President, and he plays upon people's fears in order to gain power'—I'd say, Yeah, O.K., that's totally defensible," he said.

It remained an outlet for reasonable conservatives who believe that abortion should be banned, guns should be legal, and taxes should be low, while also recognizing that Donald Trump — though in some respects a useful vessel for those causes — is also a corrupt buffoon who spouts nonsense constantly.

Donald TrumpDonald John TrumpPossible GOP challenger says Trump doesn't doesn't deserve reelection, but would vote for him over Democrat O'Rourke: Trump driving global, U.S. economy into recession Manchin: Trump has 'golden opportunity' on gun reforms MORE is a buffoon, a narcissist and misogynist who has offended large segments of the American population with racist comments.

As he told Sanneh in a recent profile: If you wrote a piece saying, 'I think Trump is a buffoon and he's reckless, and he doesn't really know that much, and he's kind of the accidental President, and he plays upon people's fears in order to gain power' — I'd say, Yeah, O.K., that's totally defensible.

The worst of the French Canadians, a true villain A buffoon Many of the female characters in Twin Peaks demonstrate a lack of resolve that could be interpreted as moral turmoil, an attempt to do what's best in a given situation, but Nancy's motivations are largely self-interested without the follow-through of an actual villain.

This would constitute a powerful rebuke to the autocratic-nationalist school — Le Pen with her sham of a political makeover, the xenophobic buffoon Nigel Farage in Britain (friend of Trump), Putin in Moscow, Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Turkey, and of course the American president himself, whose irresponsibility on the subject of America's European allies has been appalling.
|

I will ignore the hermetic sealing of Trump's personality against decency, and resist the temptation to riff on Abraham Lincoln's brooding portrait in the White House dining room above the buffoon in chief with his burgers, to ask a simple question: If President Donald Trump is a Russian asset, what would he be working to achieve?

Image Source: The Ricky Gervais Show The dystopian scifi anthology series Black Mirror is known for making eerie predictions about the future, but it seems that The Ricky Gervais Show's little round-headed buffoon Karl Pilkington was way ahead of the curve when he outlined the plot of two storylines from the new season of Netflix's hit show back in 2012.

The other was Roy Moore, a twice-defrocked State Supreme Court justice described last month by the conservative National Review as "nothing more than a bigoted, theocratic and ignorant buffoon," who has argued variously that Muslims shouldn't be allowed in Congress, that homosexuality should be illegal, that multiple Midwestern communities are currently governed by Shariah law and that the Sept.

No one (except perhaps the acidic H. L. Mencken, who famously described American democracy as "the worship of jackals by jackasses") could have imagined that the 250st-century catastrophe to befall the U.S.A., the most debasing of disasters, would appear not, say, in the terrifying guise of an Orwellian Big Brother but in the ominously ridiculous commedia dell'arte figure of the boastful buffoon.

It also happens that Abbie's sister lives in Pittsburgh, where she and her business associate Phil — a Saul Goodman-esque type, or to quote Abbie, a "grand buffoon in a loud jacket" — are involved in some questionable land deals and building projects, and could use Abbie to offset the local wariness concerning the environmental impact of one of her projects.

He may ferret around town trying to strong-arm cabinet officials, and bark orders at members of Congress who are answerable only to their constituents, and try to wow the inarticulate president with malapropisms, but he has been a notably ineffective operator—the kind of buffoon liberals might want to keep around as a drag on the unified GOP government, if he weren't such a nasty figure.
|

His attacks are searing and personal, delivered with the humorous patter of a late-night insult comedian, more reminiscent of 19th-century Federalists denouncing Thomas Jefferson as the AntiChrist — or Confederates calling Lincoln a buffoon and a drunk — than the more conventional Barack Obama advertisement showing Mitt Romney singing an off-key "America the Beautiful" as headlines recounted how Mr. Romney had overseen the outsourcing of jobs to Mexico and China.

MSNBC is awash in nostalgia for Ronald Reagan and W. So it's a good moment for Adam McKay, the inventive director of "The Big Short," to enter the debate with a movie that raises the question: Is insidious destruction of our democracy by a bureaucratic samurai with the soothing voice of a boys' school headmaster even more dangerous than a self-destructive buffoon ripping up our values in plain sight?

The characters included the "coon," a denigrating synonym for anyone black; the "zip coon," the free black person depicted as a buffoon for affecting independence, literacy and fine dress; the rotund "mammy," who was made to stand in for all black women as she patrolled the kitchen wearing flowing clothes and an apron; and the pickaninny, the bestial child whose pigtails stood straight up in the air and who was often maligned as a watermelon thief.

The child who became the most powerful man in the world, or at least occupied the real estate occupied by a series of those men, had run a family business and then starred in an unreality show based on the fiction that he was a stately emperor of enterprise, rather than a buffoon barging along anyhow, and each was a hall of mirrors made to flatter his sense of self, the self that was his one edifice he kept raising higher and higher and never abandoned.

If you're on my team, the team that views Negan as a silly, sadistic buffoon who is utterly unenjoyable to watch, then your opinion probably didn't change with his heavenly confessions to Father Gabriel in "The Big Scary U." He admitted to having a wife he actually sort of loved once, sure, but he also made easily half a dozen bad dick jokes, bragged about killing everybody's favorite dead boyfriend Glenn, and failed to murder Eugene (this would be the only thing that could turn the character around for me at this moment, tbqh).
