[VIDEO] First Punchline

Aug 17, 2010 18:09

[Eddie is seated in what is obviously a bar, wearing his full uniform, the domino mask in place. He has a cigar clenched between his teeth, and is holding the camera up to his face with one hand.]

Well ain’t this a piece of goddamn progress right here. A man can insult an entire city of people to their face without leavin’ the comfort of his local bar. Every clown with dreams of havin’ a spine can just spit out whatever threats he wants, then get to runnin’. Every hero playing dress up can ramble on without worrying about the return fire. Beautiful.

[Laughs and blows out a cloud of smoke.]

Know what else is? Getting yanked into the future just to find another city full of kids spending all their time playin’ Cowboys and Indians. Not that I’m complainin’. I think it’s hilarious. It's just I’m used to a helluva lot better paycheck for dealing with this shit. Nixon, now there’s a man who knew how to treat his masks right. This?

[Holds up his dog tags with a snort. The name ‘The Comedian’ is easily readable for a moment before he puts them down]

This’s just insultin’. An’ then I bet they wonder why so many of their ‘heroes’ ain’t quite living up to the American Dream. What a goddamn joke.
