To think the Four Seasons Total Landscaping farce is the funniest thing to have happened in 2020

I’m still laughing about this.

Trump’s people thought they were booking the Four Seasons hotel in Philadelphia for his big presser yesterday, and it turned out to be the Four Seasons Total Landscaping parking lot between a dildo store and a crematorium where Rudy Giuliani had to then speak. Surreal, but yet somehow a fitting end to the last 4 years of buffoonery.

The girl answering the phone on the twitter link is superb!

The reason for picking this place will become abundantly clear over the next few weeks. It's opposite the crematorium where so many of Joe Biden's voters reside is just one aspect of the location that you may have missed. People don't reside in a crematorium even when dead, are you thinking of a cemetery?

Brassik, you need to work on your comedy skills. Get some inspiration from the fantastic things on this thread 😂

It's very similar to Rudy Giuliani's tactics when taking on the NY Mafia families. Turn up outside locations they thought were secret has a greater impact than anything he actually says.
I wonder if you're crediting them with some level of sophistication and planning here.

Pretty sure Churchill didn't say "we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, and in the parking lots of landscape contractors"

More of that 4D chess, eh?

Hilarious. Total The Thick of It.

Valiant effort!! Grin

Clearly he’s going to punish whoever it was to the full extent of the lawn.
Nah!

He's fought the lawn, and the lawn won . . .

@Cam77

When Giuliani took the mic, I really thought of Saul Goodman.
Please!

Saul has charm . . . Guiliani doesn't even have lips!

@Cam77

The Parking Lot thing is hilarious. Nigel Farage not so much.... I just still can’t believe that such a superficial, hypocritical (he will still enjoy many EU rights thanks to his wife), bullshiting populist (but with zilch charisma) has effectively dictated the course of this country for the next couple of decades. It’s fucking tragic. Brexit will be far worse for Britain than four years of Trump was for America.
I completely agree. It's so awful to think that at new year, instead of celebrating the end of 2020 with the hope of a better 2021, we know that we're entering the new year knowing it's going to be completely shit.

In fairness Trump would not look out of place in the dildo shop.

I live in the US and I have to say this. Four Seasons Landscaping 100% says everything about Trump and his cronies. One could not make up something more hysterically funny. Thank God he is finally going to be out of power!

Madcats · 08/11/2020 14:51

There goes my google algorithm!

This trumps (geddit!) the Boris press conference in a school library (though the school librarian claimed they'd lost their job months before, which was why the book titles were arranged the way they were).

Down the street from Fantasy Island, opposite The State Room (I dread to think what sort of events they host) and a crematorium!

Did Sacha Baron Cohen leave one of his movie team behind?

@ancientgran

Maybe I'm soft but I'm worrying about some junior who was given this task and is going to get hell for the mix up.
They're almost certainly going to be out of a job anyway shortly, it probably makes no difference.
DarkDarkNight · 08/11/2020 15:04

I have laughed till I ached. It really is like The Thick of it or Veep. I went straight to Twitter and it didn’t disappoint.

MoiraNotRuby · 08/11/2020 15:10

Hilarious. I liked the tweet saying they are stuck between a cock and a charred place.

What's the significance of the sex shop though? Is that where Pence and Giuliani buy their vibrating ribbed butt plugs?

What I want to know is:

Who are the 3% who voted YABU. Come on,show yourself Don..... Grin

It really would not surprise me to find that The Donald lurks our halls late at night to defend himself and comment on parking threads Grin
HannahStern · 08/11/2020 15:12

Rumour has it that Trump and Giuliani are about to launch a new series of garden gnomes in their own images.

mumwon · 08/11/2020 15:13

@ancientgran Ah yes but the junior probably knows he is out of a job soon - consider their cv if applying for placement with the new President - I reckon they will get the job!

Nancydrawn · 08/11/2020 15:23

So one excellent rumor is that Trump told them to book the Four Seasons, then he tweeted about it, and then the Four Seasons said no way. So they scrambled.

I have no idea if this is true. But it's an absolutely delightful thought. I can't wait to hear what really happened from the inevitable leak.
