yesss!!!!
YES!!!!! This episode was my favorite of 2005. I was hoping it would show up. Keep up the good work and I can’t wait to see what you guys have in store for us in 2006! :)
Brilliant! I had never seen that one. Thanks for lightening up my day :)
Loved it! Since I am new to your site all of these videos are new and I love it!
I haven’t figured out why I find Rocketboom so amusing, but I keeping showing it to other people hoping they will tell me why I’m laughing.
I think I get it a little better after todays episode. Thanks.
Yeah!
Hilarious!!!!
Rocketboom
Where bloggers go to get vlogged
happy (burp) new year to you too! two! too-too! moo-moo-boo-boo-cuckoo-
(burp!)
This was the episode that got me watching Rocketboom, after it was mentioned in one of Wonkette’s postings - I wonder how many people came over through that particular link?
These have all been good choices this week, although I wish you could have included Amanda’s dance through St. Petersburg which is one of my favorites.
Oh - also the episode where you spoofed the version of the show that was in Business Week and which launched the Amanda maternity scare should have been included this week.
fav. definitly.
*burps*
ongoing party game …
I’ve fairly new to the RocketBoom site, and now see it is merely another offshoot/wannabe of the MSM and left-wing nutjobs. Too bad.
punch out, i f***ing love that game!
Quick, get a doctor in here, we need to get a sense of humor transplant for MrFodder.
I would have prefered dress codes, or the comments one (MrFodder should watch the comments one, he’s probably similar to one of the characters), but, that one is fun too, but, I guess being in the UK I don’t have the right viewpoint/knowledge of the US political system for it to be quite as hilarious as it should.
I have replayed your original airing of this episode more times than I can remember to count.
Guess you must like it as much as I do.
Grins and Happy New Year, with love from an ongoing fan.
BEER!!
That’s IT! http://www.rocketboom.com/vlog/archives/2005/07/rb_05_jul_15.html
A great example of how we won’t stop until all of our best have been curcified and Saddam Hussein is righted for all the wrongs we have done to him.
I raise a beer(a real beer, not that Miller Light crap) to Amanda, Drew, and all of us left-wing nutjobs! Happy New Year! May the Flying Spaghetti Monster touch you all with his noodly appendage!

Since we are discussing previous episodes, I wanted to tell Amanda and the rest of the crew how much I enjoyed the piece showing her joyous dance through my beloved hometown during SXSW. That was just the best! Every one of those location shots had meaning for me.
I wish I could have met you. My wife and I concentrated on the film part of the festival and I’ll admit, I wasn’t aware of Rocketboom at that point. My loss.
Anyway, keep on keeping on. I’ll be watching you! And I hope that you can get back down here for another SXSW or for some other reason.
Happy New Year!
you like drinking games, have you won this one???! they are dangerous games, specially if you play them with a karl rove
I can’t imagine what could happen if you played this game with me or yes, as soon as you would see me you would tell me: “why don’t we go to play a drink game?” I’m a grown up but I don’t like alcohol (water, juice de orange, milk with chocolate) but I would accept, Something as a deja’vu would begin, I in my strong arms would take you home, when we are arriving you would vomit, part on me, quicking myself I would throw you up the sofa the way you jump on it and you would vomit for a second time, pleased both, you fall in a deep sleep, I wouldn’t know what to do, I would find the map and I would clean the dirt on me with it, then watching you beautifully sleeping I wouldn’t respect you because I would think it would be a lack of respect to do it, in the morning you would find the ruined map and you send me back to latinoamerica with a kick of you powerfull foot and I would have a delightfull travell but a terrible landing in the middle of a garbage collector full of beer cans, crazy as I would be I begin to collect them to be able to pay an internet connection to watch your show.
Happy new year, Rocketboom! That was a lot of drinking to pack in in 3 minutes. hats off to you.
LOL
didja puke? :)
I guess I’ll be *ongoing* now.

Amanda and Drew,
Woah! I have never seen this one. It was great! It made my vote look horrible. How did you get through the show the next day?
Lying Government. True. True.
12 years old and loving every minute of it,
David
what is next game level? :)
more beer?
thanks a lot nice cast.
Okay, in all fairness, lets expand the drinking game. Let’s pop one open for every finger-wag as Clinton tells us ‘I did not have sex with that woman’. Or perhaps we can knock one back for every flip-flop he (or Kerry) performed on support for military action in Iraq. Or one for each of the Fifty-nine deceits in Fahrenheit 9/11. See, we all can play this game…! (but would be much better with Beck’s beer)
Although Amanda is very good, less Amanda and more news please! Most of December has been one long Amanda tripp.
Awesome !!! Good Girl.
I liked the episode where Amanda impersonates all the differant kinds of viewers.
Dear Amanda,
Was a time when I used to enjoy a liquid lunch in much the same manner….memories.
Quite interesting that something as disgusting a beer guzzeling, is kind of attractive when done by an exceptionially cute person.
But does not Mr. McClellan begin to make sense after about 12 beers?
Loved it! You guys are so very clever. Better than any comedy show on the air. So…just why don’t you have your own primetime TV Show?
Don’t get me wrong - the skit (plagiarising Jon Stewert/Comedy Central not withstanding) was amusing. Checking thru the archives, its very obvious that Ms. Congdon is the typical NY liberal for whom Conservative/Bush-bashing and politicizing news is her agenda. It wouldn’t be quite so bad if her ‘acting’ were not so amateurish.
Keep in mind that the reason Rocketboom works is because of the way it works. So tampering with this would not be a wise choice. I applaud the inventiveness, attitude and even the political commentary (though usually much different than my own viewpoint) I say let’s just celebrate the very thing that brings us here each day and leave it at that. I wonder what they will think of next. But in order to find out, we’ll have to keep logging in. I guess that Ms. Miller Lite must be the winner, since the deadline was at midnight on Thursday???? Supposedly! Oh and as far as Amanda’s acting goes: It’s a Vlog, not Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre. I’d like to see Angelina Jolie try to do what she does every day.
I’m new to Rocketboom. It’s videos like this one that keep me watching. Bravo!
Young lady I am a expert in humans ,so my expert opinion is that too much awkward event happening in the show . it is noticeable.
I believe this was the first Rocketboom I ever saw.
A livejournal friend sent me the link. I saw just about every episode in the following days.
:)
I found freevlog that same night and started a video blog.
CHEERS!
2006
Amanda,
don’t know where we should vote for the best rerun episode, but I want to vote for the “Tues, Dec. 27th” episode. Great Stuff!!!
Two Thumbs Up (Way Up!) New Years to all! Should be interesting! Git yer boots on cause tha sheets geetin’ deep.
Oh, that drinking game is just classic. I just emailed the link to all my friends. Love your stuff!
umm, dude …Tim, umm it’s like still 05 dude. The party is like on saturday night.
99 Bottles of Beer for me. Here is my ticket for my Free Beer. Free Beer!!! Have you had Beer??

Luv That Guinness!!! MMMM…..
Best definitely.
amanda is on-time!
We all LoVe a Gal who is on time…every month!
Just recently taking off with rocketboom and am loving the ride! Phooey on the naysayers–get your own rocket booster if you don’t like this one, I say.
bhob–only get half of the Rockin’ in Rhythm video when I download it. Why is that?
Hey, 2006–bring it on!
I guess this is something you need to live in US to understand… The previous ones where better imo.
Bhob: Thanks!! Loved listening to both of those jazz videos; appreciate your listing them.
Here’s to finger-snappin’ and toe-tappin’ on down the line.
Oh man that was hilarious! linked here from the NPR interview today. I noticed that music at the end was from a videogame remix website which I love…great job amanda.
