- Behind the Scenes: Interviews with the Cast & Creators and Table Read Version: Standard Review: Arguably our most laughable President in history…wait is that even arguable? Ok lets not debate this matter, you don’t want to debate me anyway I am a master of the debate (yeah I went there). I’ll just say he’s easily the most lampooned President in history and you can debate that amongst yourselves in private where the best debating happens (strike two!). Moving on past the debate jokes the point I was getting at was that many many people take a pop shot at the G-Dub and while most are good for a quick giggle most are pretty thin and get tired faster than a bad skit on Mad TV (as apposed to the other kinds of skits they have), even Matt and Trey’s larger attempt went south pretty fast..though to be fair they didn’t get a chance to really keep that going after 9/11.
That said Lil Bush has the potential to last longer than George Seniors term in office, the episodes while topical aren’t tiresome and have quite a bit of re-watchablity. The show could easily keep running no matter who wins the election and beyond. Season two is underway now and so far just as damn funny.
If you live in a Blue State you need to own this, if you live in a Red State….hell I’m sorry…have you thought about moving?
Episode 1: Iraq/First Kiss
Lil' Bush and the Gang go to Iraq to find the perfect Father's Day gift; the Gang bets to see who can kiss a girl first. The gang is shown as Guns N' Roses in a musical number.
Episode 2: Nuked/Camp
Lil' Bush learns to stand up to a bully named Lil' Kim Jong-II by bombing, among other things, his residence(this is a slightly different version of the episode "Nuked" found on Amp'd Mobile); Lil' Bush and the Gang go to summer camp and discover a sleeper cell. The Lil' Bush Band is shown as the Sex Pistols, and later as Kiss in this episode.
Episode 3: Gay Friend/Mexican
Lil' Bush meets Lil' Tony Blair, and the two become close friends and cheerleaders for the school's football team, while the Gang begins to blindly follow Lil' Barack Obama in Lil' George's place; Under his father's threat of canceling Martin Luther King day, Lil' Bush and the Gang find an alternate way to complete their chores, with the help of illegal immigrant workers. The gang parodies WHAM! and Toni Basil in their musical numbers.
Episode 4: Global Warming/Hall Monitor
The gang try to thwart Lil' Al's Lil' Live Earth concert, featuring the Lil' Foo Fighters and Lil' Red Hot Chili Peppers to secure the earth's future as a completely flooded uninhabitable wasteland that the gang sees as an "awesome water park"; Lil' Bush competes with Lil' John McCain for the position of Hall Monitor by exploiting the school's fear of hippies. The band ends up parodying the Red Hot Chili Peppers (wearing only socks during their performance) in the first short, and in the second short, they parody the Grateful Dead.
Episode 5: Evolution/Press Corps Dinner
Lil' Cheney goes to hell after perishing of a heart attack, where he proves himself more evil than Satan, and Lil' Bush becomes a born again Christian and denounces evolution(an extended version of the original Amp'd Mobile short "Evolution"); Lil' Bush is the headliner at his father's Press Corps Dinner when he discovers he has a knack for comedy. The Lil' Bush band parodies several rap artists, including Eminem and 50 Cent, in an anti-evolution video.
Episode 6: Haunted House/Hot Dog
Lil' Bush and the gang spend the night up in the haunted White house attic, and are visited by the ghosts of the Founding Fathers which turn out to be the Lil' Democrats in disguise (except for the real ghost of George Washington in search for his head)-- this short parodies the chase scenes and imagery of Scooby-Doo; Lil' Bush and the Gang meet Lil' Michael Moore, who attempts to expose their torture of the school cafeteria workers in an attempt to bring back the american institution of hot dogs when the school decides to be in favor of a more multi-cultural menu (based on the Abu Ghraib torture photos). The "Hot Dog" episode also features Jeb with a short-lived but greatly improved intelligence as a result of a frying pan blow to his head. It is based on a short (called "Hot Dog") found on the Amp'd Mobile site, but in the original Lil' Mikey Moore is not there, nor is Jeb with his newfound brilliance. Buy It Now: Rating:
