Uncle Randy, a local resident known for his intense opinions and questionable blood pressure, experienced a full-on yelling spree last night when a news channel dared to show a 30-second clip of former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi.
The incident, which took place in the family’s living room during what was supposed to be a peaceful evening of watching the news, quickly escalated when Pelosi’s image appeared on screen. Uncle Randy, who had been nursing a lukewarm beer and an even warmer disdain for all things political, reportedly shot up from his recliner with a guttural groan.
“The man can sit through hours of commercials for prescription meds, but the second Pelosi’s face pops up, it’s like someone hit a switch,” said his niece, Carol R. “He started yelling about the deep state, lizard people, and something about how the weather’s controlled by the government. It’s like he has an internal alarm that goes off whenever a politician he doesn’t like shows up.”
Despite only seeing Pelosi for half a minute, Uncle Randy proceeded to rant for the better part of an hour, referencing everything from the national deficit to how “people don’t know how to make a good potato salad anymore.”
At one point, the family decided to test his endurance by switching the channel to The View, thinking he might calm down if the show wasn’t about politics. However, Uncle Randy’s face only grew redder. “Whoopi Goldberg opened her mouth, and I swear I thought his head was going to explode,” said Carol. His tirade reached new heights, railing against “Hollywood elites” and the “brainwashing of daytime television,” which he claimed was part of a larger plan to ruin the country—right after ruining his evening.
In the end, the family managed to divert Uncle Randy’s attention to a weather segment. Unfortunately, he still found a way to blame Pelosi for the cold front moving in from the north.
