Larry and Paul’s ‘Broken News’ brings a biting satirical update on the US gun lobby
Larry Budd and Paul Dunphy – @larryandpaul – are very familiar around here for their funny and savage Daily Briefings, but they have many strings to their bow, and this Broken News sketch is up there with the best of them.
‘Now, supporters of military-grade automatic weapons – inexplicably available to literally anyone – say the United states should remain pro-gun and not become pro-noun. A slogan which literally makes no sense but some mouth-breathing Republicans have described as “excellent wordplay”.’
When they posted the video on Twitter, it got a massive thumbs up.
I cannot stress how on the money this is! Would be funnier if it wasn't true #BrokenNews https://t.co/yodtfiUDQg

These boys are good, but this may be the best #BrokenNews to date. https://t.co/1eYphuqljN

Another really important report.
I'm ashamed to say I hadn't realised how much safer babies would be if they had loaded guns.
Thankyou #brokenNews— Shaggy (@2015Shaggy) March 30, 2023
Tackling our world of fucked up news with "fuck 'em reporting". It's surprisingly effective … @BBCNews could learn something about more direct and truthful news from these two hounds … #BrokenNews https://t.co/JNn9Tw9s90

As well as satirising America’s gun problem, Larry and Paul have only gone and solved it.
Oh my God we’ve just solved the American gun problem: they can bear arms, but they HAVE to be guns made before 1791. 🇺🇸

If they have a mic to hand, they should drop it – in a good way.
