VIDEO: Kate Beckinsale Wants Government All Up In Her Vagina

COMMENT (34)

Every time somebody asks me “funny or die?” you know what I pick? I pick funny. And sometimes I’m rewarded for that choice in the form of humorous videos like this one, starring Kate Beckinsale, Judy Greer and Andrea Savage as Republicans who want government way up deep in their vaginas.

Republicans, Get In My Vagina! from Kate Beckinsale

    My only problem with this video is that Kate Beckinsale puts on an American accent. I know, I know, this is an American issue and she’s supposed to be representin’ but EVERYONE knows it’s her, and I’m sure the US is home to Brits who are equally affected by all this shit (LIKE BECKINSALE). So why the American accent? Why??

        I get that I really do and she does a great job at playing one :P But everyone is selling this video as: “Kate Beckinsale Wants Government All Up In Her Vagina” which is why I’m a bit miffed.
        But that’s stupid and I should be mad at the Republicans instead. Okay that’s it I’m mad at the fucking Republicans and their fucking fucked-up-ness.

        I had the same thought, and counter-thought, and counter-counter thought.

        Also the lines about vaginas being scary and smelly. Some people will take it as part of the parody, but for others it will just reinforce the maddeningly ubiquitous idea that vag = icky.

    I agree that it’s transphobic to state that “being a woman means having a vagina”; however, I think that line was meant to be a joke about how reductive it is to say that that’s all being a woman means. Being a woman, regardless of what genitalia you were born with, means way more than having a vagina.

    And “my oval office” is now my new favorite term for my cooch.

    My vagina just retracted. It’s currently balled up in my uterus which is hanging out between my lungs.

    Clearly I just need to watch Underworld again. That will solve all my problems.
