KSK Off-Topic: The Beaker in D.C. Meme
Above is the image Punté used yesterday for Beaker’s Super Bowl prediction. Of course, blog commenters being what they are — that is, people who tend to ignore the forest to look at the trees (and leaves, and individual pieces of bark, and chloroplasts) — they instantly ignored the obvious bandwagon imagery and instead asked why Beaker was riding a D.C. Metro bus.
Anyway, from Maj’s annoying homerism for our nation’s capital (and Punte’s annoyance with it) was born a new meme: Beaker in D.C.

Fucking Hilarious!
Did Beaker get some celebratory weed?
January 27th, 2009 at 8:40 am
BEAKER SET ME UP!!!
Brilliant.
January 27th, 2009 at 8:43 am
Only two comments, and HFM still beats me to the Berry joke.
January 27th, 2009 at 8:52 am
I like the one where Beaker is a secret service agent, but why did you add in Mister Potter from It’s a Wonderful Life too?
January 27th, 2009 at 8:52 am
Beaker has jungle fever.
January 27th, 2009 at 8:53 am
Tremendous.
January 27th, 2009 at 8:54 am
Beaker with Marion Barry is the hands-down best photoshop on the internet today.
January 27th, 2009 at 9:02 am
Wow, Beaker’s better looking than Woodward and Bernstein. Who’d have thunk it?
/what a country
January 27th, 2009 at 9:04 am
I will never stop loving the internet.
January 27th, 2009 at 9:08 am
Beaker is freaking me the fuck out. Am I alone?
January 27th, 2009 at 9:10 am
Why is Beaker operating a Metro train?
January 27th, 2009 at 9:12 am
can we get one of Beaker as an MS-13 member….or a frontrunning Caps fan?
January 27th, 2009 at 9:14 am
Here’s a bulletin from the Muppets Newsroom: Beaker has just been arrested by D.C. Police after he was caught defecating on the Tomb of the Unknowns. More details to follow.
January 27th, 2009 at 9:15 am
werr, I guess we know Hines Wald isn’t the glaffiti altist.
January 27th, 2009 at 9:18 am
I can’t tell if Beaker is enraged by the kiss-cam, or wants in on the action. You know, I always wondered why he and Bunson were so close…
January 27th, 2009 at 9:20 am
The Beaker photoshops have the potential to outdo the Bert is Evil ones.
January 27th, 2009 at 9:24 am
Bra-fucking-vo
January 27th, 2009 at 9:24 am
Slothrop, it’s Borf
January 27th, 2009 at 9:29 am
This is pure brilliance. This is the type of thing the internets were made for. This and porn.
January 27th, 2009 at 9:30 am
the fuck’s a Borf?
January 27th, 2009 at 9:34 am
Yes, but you still haven’t explained why Beaker is riding the Metro bus.
January 27th, 2009 at 9:35 am
who had a longer career at the post: beaker or ape?
January 27th, 2009 at 9:37 am
Mad cuz I’m flagrant = winner
January 27th, 2009 at 9:37 am
No picture of Beaker making out with some dude in DuPont Circle?
January 27th, 2009 at 9:38 am
I would applaude you for such a post, but I’m still trying to figure out where Dr. Bunsen Honeydew has gone.
January 27th, 2009 at 9:38 am
@StuScottBooyahs
You see, Beaker lives in D.C. and supports the use of mass transit. Because of his fame, the paparazzi follow him everywhere.
January 27th, 2009 at 9:44 am
Well this explains the Red Line delays this morning.
In the future, let’s put Beaker on the off-peak schedule.
January 27th, 2009 at 9:44 am
Slothrop- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borf
January 27th, 2009 at 9:49 am
“We are sold out of Borf license plates. I repeat, we are sold out of Borf license plates.”
January 27th, 2009 at 9:51 am
When I was in DC back in Novemnber, I recalled seeing some strange looking dudes on the Red Line near the American U stop. Now I know why
January 27th, 2009 at 9:52 am
I thought Borf was that character Tim Conway played from the Borf on Golf videos.
January 27th, 2009 at 9:57 am
I heard Beaker on WTOP this morning, he was closing Montgomery County Schools for the day.
January 27th, 2009 at 9:58 am
Borf nothing…
“Tyler Knew, Turk 182″

When I see Beaker in SE DC busting caps in fools and stealing the rims off of cars, then I’ll know the world is coming to and end. This is hilarious.
Beaker and Barry FTW.
January 27th, 2009 at 10:15 am
@UM–you don’t get a lot of Bobby Fisher inspired graffiti. And the world’s poorer for it, I say.
Did Jenny ever find Beaker at the anti-Vietnam rally?
January 27th, 2009 at 10:58 am
the saddest thing is that i clicked on every single one of those pictures hoping one of them would swear at me repeatedly.
January 27th, 2009 at 11:03 am
I still don’t get why Beaker is riding a DC bus.
January 27th, 2009 at 11:13 am
I always thought Beaker was the one who left those Cool “Disco” Dan graffitis on the Red Line
January 27th, 2009 at 11:22 am
What’s Beaker doing with the Big Lebowski? The bums will always lose Beaker!
January 27th, 2009 at 11:32 am
You forgot Beaker being shot by John Hinckley Jr. That happened in D.C. (yes, I had to Google that).
Also, I always suspected there was someone else behind the scenes helping Woodward and Bernstein (besides Mark Felt). I read somewhere that Beaker and Katherine Graham had a thing going on for awhile, but they kept it on the down-low.
January 27th, 2009 at 11:53 am
I don’t get it. Is this supposed to represent some sort of bandwagon? Could you be a little clearer?
January 27th, 2009 at 12:01 pm
I’ve spent all of 4 hours in DC in my life, ever, so I don’t get half of these. The Marion Barry (sp?) one is fucking classic, though.
January 27th, 2009 at 12:14 pm
He should be pictured holding a bullhorn and protesting something or other
January 27th, 2009 at 12:22 pm
What about Beaker diving into the Potomac and rescuing AF 90 passengers?
January 27th, 2009 at 12:28 pm
Needs one with Beaker and his fat family wearing FBI t-shirts and standing on the left side of the Metro escalators during rush hour.
January 27th, 2009 at 12:52 pm
+1 for n.o.
January 27th, 2009 at 1:35 pm
Oh man..this post totally made my day.
You need one of Beaker wearing a Georgetown t-shirt that has “Who Wants To Sex Beaker?” on it
January 27th, 2009 at 2:05 pm
Senor Mullet wins. Take that, Ape!
Actually, everybody wins today.
January 27th, 2009 at 2:49 pm
i still don’t get why the DC metro bus is advertising 60 steelers when there are only 53.
January 27th, 2009 at 2:51 pm
@Katni…
u moron… you dont need to step foot in DC to realize whats going on in any of these pics… except maybe for Ben’s.
January 27th, 2009 at 3:20 pm
So this DOES have something to do with D.C.!
January 27th, 2009 at 4:06 pm
Yes, because when I see a DC Metro bus, or any bus for that matter, I think “bandwagon.” The “Go Steelers” on a bus actually makes me think of Jerome Bettis.
But this, this is brilliant. Next, can we Photoshop Beaker in to the front row of a bunch of shirtless teenage boys at a mid-80s Fugazi show?

I knew I forgot something.
January 27th, 2009 at 4:58 pm
How ’bout Beaker on the cover of a Bad Brains album?
January 27th, 2009 at 5:49 pm
needs one of beaker as me running a red light at 8th and M SE today because for some unknown reason [note: likely reason is that DCDOT is run by circa-1950s sci-fi television show robot), it would not turn green.
Also perhaps one of beaker as a snow plow operator driving around Arlington county on a night in November when it was 45 degrees and raining.
we finally do get this rumored “snow storm”, and it’s 3 inches of fast melting stuff on the road and 2 cars STILL manage to flip themselves on 395. Love this city.
January 27th, 2009 at 8:46 pm
Beaker is all things DC!
January 27th, 2009 at 9:29 pm
It was a long crazy day and BEAKER IS AWESOME. Thanks guys…giggled for 5 minutes straight.
But really, the Muppet Show was on from ‘76 to ‘81, so really, Watergate was before that. And, Beaker was a nerdy science geek, I would say 20 something. So, some of this just won’t be happening, man.
January 27th, 2009 at 9:32 pm
One of my favorite KSK posts. Excellent.
The one with Marion Barry is classic.
January 27th, 2009 at 10:46 pm
GREATEST PHOTOSHOP EVER!
January 27th, 2009 at 11:20 pm
Washington D.C. – because taxation without representation isn’t worth fighting for
