It’s totally possible within minutes or seconds of me posting this the soon-to-be former president will have announced his pardons already. Even so, I’ve decided to make a last ditch plea for consideration by the 45th president. Here it goes… I need to type quickly. I’m running out of time, and so are the people, places and things on this list. The list follows — in no particular order. BTW — there’s nothing remotely funny about this administration so I’m hoping some of these make you laugh.

  1. The Last Jedi
  2. The final season of Game of Thrones and Dexter.
  3. Dominos Pizza’s The Noid
  4. Mike Myer’s Judge Ito impression on Saturday Night Live
