OMG! I couldn't either. The way he went all the way in without so much as even cracking a smile. I hope this guy plays 7-card because this is truly a talent.
I’d recommend watching his tiktoks (@thegoodliars) where he goes to trump rallies and interviews the people attending. He’s truly mastered being just witty enough that the people he’s talking to don’t catch on
yeah people are stupid, i used to troll my teachers during assemblies in grade 5. (damn like 30 years ago) but when a teacher was giving a speech and took a breath, i would just start clapping. next thing you know EVERYONE joined in.. 1/2 the people are not listening or paying any attention.
I thought they just preferred to pretend to not get it over any other reaction for fear they’d actually have to do something, or change, or admit moral faults and greed, or act responsibly or maybe maturely… and they’d rather not deal with any of that reality stuff right now.
The genius part was starting off by making some random comment about the liberal media, to get them on his side for the exact amount of time he needed to do his skit.
I thought he was gonna say something like “every time the say this man has not done enough to stop the mass shootings, and that’s not true.. saying he has not done enough implies has done something, when in fact he had done NOTHING” but what he said was even better because they didn’t even realise he was insulting them 🙈
Why is this face-palm. This is genius. These guys thought they were a for argument so we're probably listening... It seems strange to show a person's position before letting them speak.
Look up the good liars. Everything they do is gold and they have balls of steal for some of the events they lampoon. They showed up to rand pal or some other fuck and pretended that he got ran over by the political.
Poe's law - without a clear indicator of the author's intent, every parody of extreme views can be mistaken by some for a sincere expression of the views being parodied.
To be honest, I thought he was sincere... Because people clapped, people believed him... So why couldn't he believe his own bullshit ? Turned out it was sarcasm.
For the entire first half I thought he was serious because I assumed he WAS one of those wackos, but when he said "thoughts and prayers, and prayers and thoughts" I burst out laughing because at that point the obvious sarcasm hit me like a truck.
A Dallas pastor made a great statement. This is not verbatim. People wonder why God why lets these things happen. God is wondering why we let it happen. That is so profound to me. WHY are we continuing to let mass shootings happen. Extended background checks are not too much to ask. I got my gun in less than 15 minutes. You have no criminal history, you get a gun! I think Wayne LaPierre knew it was sarcasm. The look on his face showed confusion.
Bro I was laughing, LaPierre could tell that is was sarcasm but the audience really were to dumb to realize it. Is it messed up that I was laughing at the look on his face and the fact that the audience were to dumb to realize sarcasm..... Ohhhh.... we're doomed as a nation, aren't we.....
It's astonishing how uniformed people can be about an issue while still so vigorously defending their opinions, to the point that they don't even recognise this as a joke..
I think a lot of people understand what he's doing. The problem is, every single one of them obviously posts that shit on social media when shootings happen. What are they gunna do, turn around and tell him to stop being a troll? He's literally saying what they've been saying. They literally can't tell him to shut up because he is technically following their exact ideology. And none of them want to be the one to tell the guy that's asking for prayers that he's wrong.
Unironically, this is a problem the left has. They think they can *explain* to these people, or show them, how absurd their views are. They can't, none of us can explain to the people in that room that "thoughts and prayers" *aren't* what this country needs. As far as many are concerned these shootings are happening exactly because people have turned from God.
I’m convinced a large portion of the population just goes through life without a single thought. It’s so weird. On the surface they appear normal but there’s just a blank sheet of paper behind those eyes
It’s just taking a stance that makes it look like they care. Same as when the mega corporations tweet out Black Lives Matter or change their icons during pride month. It’s just for show, they don’t actually give a shit. It’s whatever they think will retain them the most “brand loyalty” and money in that scenario
He should have read more town names with mass shootings. He could have gone on for a few minutes solid, and they could have rung that bell they rang when Trump rattled off the already-not-so-most recent victims' names.
I think he did the perfect amount. Any more and it would've been too obvious, he wouldn't be able to do the thoughts and prayers bit, but he said more than enough to get the idea across.
Speaking of thoughts and prayers I have yet to see those mega churches donate to the families or speak up/out against gun violence.... cause you know, Prolife BS and all.
Was gonna say the problem they have even while recognizing that it’s likely sarcasm super troll is there are some that are actually dumb enough in that crowd to believe the words he’s saying earnestly, likely literally if we had enough prayers the school shootings would stop, that they’re not sure how to react. He basically just Colbert’ed them.
LaPierre looked like he wanted to tear into the guy and have him thrown out, but realized that half the audience thought the speaker was praising LaPierre, so he couldn’t react for fear of them figuring out the gag.
yeah damn! I actually started to believe him --- he kept going, I think he couldve gone an extra 5-10 minutes with the same theme. Could've gotten more claps, maybe even an award/recognition or a role in the NRA.
Sarcasm and irony are lost on these people. This is the Republican Party; stupid and ignorant, devoid of character, decency, truth or honor and unfit to govern.
I was listening to some country radio station in WV after Sandy Hook, and the hosts legit argued that these shootings happen because religion isn't taught enough in schools. They literally said that kids today make god leave their classrooms so they don't have anyone to protect them anymore. These people are incapable of thinking.
This was incredibly well done. He knew if he came with a straight attack he’d get booed off before he got to finish. The mental finessing people are capable of in this day and age is impressive.
Room full of morons, trained by the mass media to not think but to be told how to feel. He obliterated him and thanked him. I mean if someone thanks you that must mean whatever you said was good right?
Hopefully my observation there are virtually zero butts in those seats is indicative of more than just a few people rethinking their priorities in life.
This is a proper indictment of the church. Thoughts and prayers are useless without actions. Wake up America and realize that the NRA is deceiving you. Profit over people is a common theme, but people are blind to the deception. I don’t have any answers, but I have many questions. How did we get here?!?!? One child’s life is worth all of their profits. They changed the laws about fertilizer because of Timothy McVeigh, why can’t something be done about this?!?!! So frustrating
The generation coming up won't be in favor of guns as they experience first hand the repercussion of these lacks laws. Unfortunately it's going to take years for them to vote
I looked the guy up. It looks like he does satirical comedy and started at occupy wall st. The Good Liars. Hats off. Shockingly, the NRA seems poor at vetting people.
Do you know how we solve this problem other countries? We make guns harder to fucking get!! I am 16 and I have never seen a gun irl…. You say you’re the “land of the free” i don’t know if not being able to safely send your kids to school is “free”?
He should have brought ar ar15 with him and said I want you to stop these bullets with your thoughts and prayers..to prove to the people it really works
People fucking clapped… They clapped. I think watching that video right there and hearing the applause is what has made me realize we are too far gone. They clapped
Oh wait, he’s screwing with them! For a second there I thought he was actually being serious; I mean we’ve got people in congress who have said crazier shit.
Might get downvoted for this, but well... when someone says "sending thoughts and prayers" i always imagine 7 year old me playing a pretend game on the playground. Someone say they have a magic wand and whatnot, and i say i have healing powers. Now these idiots pretend they're 7 and that they have those healing powers and think they still work 💀
I really have a hard time believing that with all the criminal and financial issues the NRA has been going through that the average american much less government officials are so willing to line up behind these guys.
this sound like a speech randy from south park would make
Like the speech from Sarcastaball
I'm sorry. I thought this was AmErIcA
Yeah, it sounds satirical.
Holy shit i could never do this with a straight face
OMG! I couldn't either. The way he went all the way in without so much as even cracking a smile. I hope this guy plays 7-card because this is truly a talent.
He nailed it. The fact they cheered him after shows how stupid these people are.
I’d recommend watching his tiktoks (@thegoodliars) where he goes to trump rallies and interviews the people attending. He’s truly mastered being just witty enough that the people he’s talking to don’t catch on
Dude's got the Sasha Baron Cohen skills big time
I must admit I fell for this first. It's Poe's law, except without internet.
If you were as deeply angry as he probably is, I bet you could.
But, he could ever do that, Idk where he get that spirit to tell the crowd.
Its easy to keep a straight face when 19 children just died. Again.
It's easier to do if you're angry about the thing or person you're mocking.
its a skill
Worthy of a Sasha Baron Cohen award
And they CLAP!!!! MY GOD 🤣🤣
yeah people are stupid, i used to troll my teachers during assemblies in grade 5. (damn like 30 years ago) but when a teacher was giving a speech and took a breath, i would just start clapping. next thing you know EVERYONE joined in.. 1/2 the people are not listening or paying any attention.
Plenty of people in the audience agree with him, and his sarcasm.
I thought they just preferred to pretend to not get it over any other reaction for fear they’d actually have to do something, or change, or admit moral faults and greed, or act responsibly or maybe maturely… and they’d rather not deal with any of that reality stuff right now.
What a sarcastic legend
I love the pauses sprinkled into "thoughts" and "prayers" and the repeats for emphasis.
Any insult where your opponents clap at the end, is skillfully done. This guy is a genius.
The genius part was starting off by making some random comment about the liberal media, to get them on his side for the exact amount of time he needed to do his skit.
They’re actually so stupid they don’t understand sarcasm. That makes so much sense
Thing is, USA has so many psycho Christians, that saying "Thoughts and prayers" sounds like a valid argument in actually doing something.
[удалено]
I thought he was gonna say something like “every time the say this man has not done enough to stop the mass shootings, and that’s not true.. saying he has not done enough implies has done something, when in fact he had done NOTHING” but what he said was even better because they didn’t even realise he was insulting them 🙈
Tall Tom Cruise with his incredible performance.
And they didn't get it. They thought it was a beautiful speech and how he thanked Wayne.
Jason Selvig works with Davram Stiefler on the project The Good Liars. Follow them on IG or YouTube. They are amazing.
Why is this face-palm. This is genius. These guys thought they were a for argument so we're probably listening... It seems strange to show a person's position before letting them speak.
A true icon of the craft. I would attend his Master class
Unreal performance. Do right wing Americans really not understand sarcasm? Because that was just perfection.
Look up the good liars. Everything they do is gold and they have balls of steal for some of the events they lampoon. They showed up to rand pal or some other fuck and pretended that he got ran over by the political.
You know it's bad when what should have been obvious sarcasm could have passed as a legitimate statement from one of those wackos.
Poe's law - without a clear indicator of the author's intent, every parody of extreme views can be mistaken by some for a sincere expression of the views being parodied.
To be honest, I thought he was sincere... Because people clapped, people believed him... So why couldn't he believe his own bullshit ? Turned out it was sarcasm.
For the entire first half I thought he was serious because I assumed he WAS one of those wackos, but when he said "thoughts and prayers, and prayers and thoughts" I burst out laughing because at that point the obvious sarcasm hit me like a truck.

I think Wayne LaPierre knew it was sarcasm. The look on his face showed confusion.
It’s called post-irony, where your ironic/sarcastic statement is too real, and whether you meant to be sarcastic at all comes into question lol
He even did the “give your thoughts and prayers…..your prayers and thoughts…” bit. i thought (and prayed) they would get it then.
If the word “befuddlement” had a face…😂
Seriously, the looks on their faces are just completely blank... what are those folks in the front they even looking at?
That one guy vigorously nodding as it cut off at the end... 🤦♂️
Oh but La'Pierre had a face at the end alright.
Thoughts and prayers, steak and eggs, Abbot and Costello, Fox and Friends, Mumford and Sons, peanut butter and jelly.
Hold up. I’m sure that if I were to pack gun barrels, chambers, & firing pins with peanut butter, I could stop a mass shooting.
I don’t know man Mumford and sons with guns may stop bad guys with guns
It’s funny the people in the audience are too stupid to realize what he’s doing…
Love how he bashes "left wing media" at the beginning to make sure that everyone there is biased towards whatever he says afterwards.
Bro I was laughing, LaPierre could tell that is was sarcasm but the audience really were to dumb to realize it. Is it messed up that I was laughing at the look on his face and the fact that the audience were to dumb to realize sarcasm..... Ohhhh.... we're doomed as a nation, aren't we.....
It's astonishing how uniformed people can be about an issue while still so vigorously defending their opinions, to the point that they don't even recognise this as a joke..
All you have to do is pretend to side with Jesus and they’ll eat up whatever bullshit your spewing…that’s all it takes.
I wish he’d just kept listing mass shootings. Brilliant.
I think a lot of people understand what he's doing. The problem is, every single one of them obviously posts that shit on social media when shootings happen. What are they gunna do, turn around and tell him to stop being a troll? He's literally saying what they've been saying. They literally can't tell him to shut up because he is technically following their exact ideology. And none of them want to be the one to tell the guy that's asking for prayers that he's wrong.
Half of America.
Omg this was just chef's kiss
Unironically, this is a problem the left has. They think they can *explain* to these people, or show them, how absurd their views are. They can't, none of us can explain to the people in that room that "thoughts and prayers" *aren't* what this country needs. As far as many are concerned these shootings are happening exactly because people have turned from God.
I think they don't even actually think or pray, they just like saying "thoughts and prayers"
Right, thoughts and prayers.
I’m convinced a large portion of the population just goes through life without a single thought. It’s so weird. On the surface they appear normal but there’s just a blank sheet of paper behind those eyes
It’s just taking a stance that makes it look like they care. Same as when the mega corporations tweet out Black Lives Matter or change their icons during pride month. It’s just for show, they don’t actually give a shit. It’s whatever they think will retain them the most “brand loyalty” and money in that scenario
Thats the point.
LOL A master class in trolling
Legendary.
I was waiting for the “JESUS CHRIST” like in always sunny when Dee does her stand up act
He should have read more town names with mass shootings. He could have gone on for a few minutes solid, and they could have rung that bell they rang when Trump rattled off the already-not-so-most recent victims' names.
It's a risky play. Sometimes you got to get to the point before the guards tackle you.
I think he did the perfect amount. Any more and it would've been too obvious, he wouldn't be able to do the thoughts and prayers bit, but he said more than enough to get the idea across.
It's a bold strategy, Cotton. Let's see if it pays off for 'em
The guy in the blue shirt Has the look of like, "ok you don't have to name them all".
Speaking of thoughts and prayers I have yet to see those mega churches donate to the families or speak up/out against gun violence.... cause you know, Prolife BS and all.
At this point isn't obvious that preachers like Copeland aren't really Christians?
I am tired of the Cult of Christianity
I’s not hard to be stealth amongst the dumbest but it still amazes me how dumb people are. Bravo to this guy.
Was gonna say the problem they have even while recognizing that it’s likely sarcasm super troll is there are some that are actually dumb enough in that crowd to believe the words he’s saying earnestly, likely literally if we had enough prayers the school shootings would stop, that they’re not sure how to react. He basically just Colbert’ed them.
as long as you preface what you’re saying with left wing media bad or say something about woke cancel culture you’re in
This man really be playing 5-D chess around these mfers
Half the audience were like “yeah, he’s right. More thoughts and prayers!”, while LaPierre looked like the guy empied a bucket of shit over his head
His face is priceless, its almost as if he's looking around for someone to ask "Wait, did he just... Did he do what I think he did?!"
LaPierre looked like he wanted to tear into the guy and have him thrown out, but realized that half the audience thought the speaker was praising LaPierre, so he couldn’t react for fear of them figuring out the gag.
LaPierre looks like a bucket of shit.
That's just his face. It always looks that grotesque.
Ssssssssssllllllllllloooooooooooowwwwwww burns hurt the worst.
Had everyone's full attention the whole time... like "where is he going with this". Well damn, he did him dirty.
Top tier shithousery
Regardless of what side you are on, this man’s level of execution with his trolling and sarcasm is godlike.
Exactly, he’s just making a mockery of those people and they hardly recognized it.
yeah damn! I actually started to believe him --- he kept going, I think he couldve gone an extra 5-10 minutes with the same theme. Could've gotten more claps, maybe even an award/recognition or a role in the NRA.
Sarcasm and irony are lost on these people. This is the Republican Party; stupid and ignorant, devoid of character, decency, truth or honor and unfit to govern.
Very well done. Most didn't realize that they'd been hit.
Not a facepalm as much as an epic troll
The audience is the facepalm lol
That was perfection.
it's the middle of Texas. it's the annual NRA meeting. politicians are in attendance.
Being hypocritical is a full time job
More people go to 5th grade weeknight football games than that.
As a gun owner I'd like to say
Right there with you. They are nothing but a bunch of crooks living off of the fears and insecurities of morons.
Their base is so radical and Christian, they can't even tell if he's being sarcastic or not. What a legend. Hat's off to you good sir.
I was listening to some country radio station in WV after Sandy Hook, and the hosts legit argued that these shootings happen because religion isn't taught enough in schools. They literally said that kids today make god leave their classrooms so they don't have anyone to protect them anymore. These people are incapable of thinking.
No clue they are being trolled.
No clue of any kind.
Mr La]Pierre is pretty sure he got roasted but the dumb ficks don't get it lol
I like how this guy basically said get fucked and y'all don't care about kids dying and they are so stupid they didn't even realize
Fucking TROLLLLLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
I think it actually went over their heads.
Wayne LaPierre got it.
It certainly didn't go into them.
This one is probably one of my favorites from the good liars -
What's worst is the he is trolling them and the rest of the people applauds 😆, extra points for him.
Sarcasm to the max, lets all give our thoughts and prayer for this legend
The balls on this man. Absolutely fantastic
I am always surprised how he holds it together so well.
OUTSTANDING!
It went over the head of the audience. Not LaPierres but the audience’s. We are doomed
That was masterfully done!
None of them caught it, sweet baby Jesus.
That was a slow burn. Bravo 👏
This belongs on
or
Not listening just watching hoping for Robocop and RoboCaine to show up and shoot it out in the midst of their panel.
And then they all clap! FFS
Brilliant! I wonder if anyone there even got it, though.
This was incredibly well done. He knew if he came with a straight attack he’d get booed off before he got to finish. The mental finessing people are capable of in this day and age is impressive.
He sounded sincere enough to stay on the mic and rub that shit in his face. Well played sir!
When you're such a sarcastic savage the room thinks you're serious, proving your point that these people are beyond completely fucking stupid.
Room full of morons, trained by the mass media to not think but to be told how to feel. He obliterated him and thanked him. I mean if someone thanks you that must mean whatever you said was good right?
Oh god enough with the “mass media” shit. People were morons before commoners could read.
Fucking Legend.
I just love how the crowd was even too stupid to pick up the sarcasm....
After "I'm sick of left wing media" the room had trouble focusing because a lot of blood was running from their brains to their groins.
Well, they've gotten so unpopular that at least they're now practicing social distancing.
Hopefully my observation there are virtually zero butts in those seats is indicative of more than just a few people rethinking their priorities in life.
They weren't allowed to bring guns to it, so many wouldn't have gone I'm sure.
This is a proper indictment of the church. Thoughts and prayers are useless without actions. Wake up America and realize that the NRA is deceiving you. Profit over people is a common theme, but people are blind to the deception. I don’t have any answers, but I have many questions. How did we get here?!?!? One child’s life is worth all of their profits. They changed the laws about fertilizer because of Timothy McVeigh, why can’t something be done about this?!?!! So frustrating
Wow, what à crowd, packed night of big support.
Fucking legend....
The generation coming up won't be in favor of guns as they experience first hand the repercussion of these lacks laws. Unfortunately it's going to take years for them to vote
They clapped! OMG! Even Wayne knew he was getting trolled!
they are so fucking stupid they dont even know that he is taking the piss
That was hilarious. Those people were oblivious. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I could tell when he had an intelligent tone from the beginning that he wasn’t actually “for”. This is incredible.
The NRA is trash and most respectable gun owners know this and don't support them.
That was brilliant. Lapiere is a murderer
This is hilarious. And even more hilarious that his sarcasm went over the audience's head as they too are morons.
He understood the assignment...
Millitary grade trolling, I love it.
That was too subtle. Most people will think he's being genuine.
Is he being sarcastic? That's something I would sarcastically say for sure.
Yes he is trolling them with this one 100%
It's kinda sad that it might be difficult to tell at this point, but yes he is clearly mocking their inaction.
Why are we even giving them recognition. Ted Cruz should jump off a bridge head first
A confederation of asshats
The audience truly thought it was genuine…no one got it 🤣
That was so awesome. Tell me it’s real!
I looked the guy up. It looks like he does satirical comedy and started at occupy wall st. The Good Liars. Hats off. Shockingly, the NRA seems poor at vetting people.
pretty sure it went over the crowd's head, only brain damaged people would go there
ITT a bunch of people as dumb as the clapping crowd completely missing the guy’s obvious point
Oh, they're going to be so mad when someone explains it to them later...
Definitely a nominee for most savage troll job ever.
Tots and pears
Just a reminder that A& W was not able to outsell McDonald's because Americans could not tell that 1/3 of a pound was greater than 1/4 of a pound
Please tell me he was being sarcastic and insulting them
His sarcasm is lost on a room with such a low brain cell to person ratio
Woooow.
This is not a facepalm. This is genius
Dude straight up took off his pants and shat on all of them and no one noticed now that’s awesome
Even with all the effects to the supply chain due to Covid, the NRA has never run out of thoughts and prayers.
I guarantee that 90% of the people in that room did not figure out what he was doing.
I'm surprised his mic wasn't cut off . That was awesome
This is some Sacha Baron Cohen level of writing and performance. Bravo.
This man is a genius
Idiots clapping not realising he is taking the piss out of the NRAs monthly T.A.P. statement.
Realizing and understanding sarcasm is not a strong suit of Wayne or anyone for that matter associated with the NRA.
The face palm is people clapping this dude is a legend l he’s clearly making fun of them
Do you know how we solve this problem other countries? We make guns harder to fucking get!! I am 16 and I have never seen a gun irl…. You say you’re the “land of the free” i don’t know if not being able to safely send your kids to school is “free”?
It's sarcasm.
They are not free dude, they've just been made to think they are.
Get this man a job, Trevor Noah.
He should have brought ar ar15 with him and said I want you to stop these bullets with your thoughts and prayers..to prove to the people it really works
The convention is a no fire arm zone
I am willing to bet that no one in the room got it.
This guy is amazing
Super Troll lvl 4500
Absolute quality troll
Room full of morons.
your thoughts and your prayers, and your prayers and your thoughts
I didn't see any problem in the american gun topic.
Wow. The NRA should have thought and prayed before letting that guy speak openly..
How he say all that with a straight face 😂
People fucking clapped… They clapped. I think watching that video right there and hearing the applause is what has made me realize we are too far gone. They clapped
This is hilarious. I didn’t catch on until the Thoughts and Prayers bit
Oh wait, he’s screwing with them! For a second there I thought he was actually being serious; I mean we’ve got people in congress who have said crazier shit.
i hope thats a joke, but i honestly dont know because of... yeah Americans
Might get downvoted for this, but well... when someone says "sending thoughts and prayers" i always imagine 7 year old me playing a pretend game on the playground. Someone say they have a magic wand and whatnot, and i say i have healing powers. Now these idiots pretend they're 7 and that they have those healing powers and think they still work 💀
I really have a hard time believing that with all the criminal and financial issues the NRA has been going through that the average american much less government officials are so willing to line up behind these guys.
