Watch Economic 'Wrestler' Spoof, 'The Uncler'

DateTuesday, February 17, 2009 at 9:15PM
Here's another great video from Funny or Die, tying the current financial crisis to The Wrestler. It's a better fit than you might think.

Though I can't say I'm a big fan of the title The Uncler, it's a spot-on parody of the trailer for The Wrestler, only instead of struggling with personal and professional demons, Uncle Sam wrestles with the worst economic downturn since whenever the last one was.

Oh, and in the Marisa Tomei role is Alyssa Milano as Lady Liberty.

That was more deserving of an Oscar nomination that The Reader. (Couldn't help myself)
