The Uncler: America Needs a Comeback

By Funny or Die

The Uncler w/ Uncle Sam and Alyssa Milano from Alyssa Milano

» More

The Funny or Die crew and, oddly enough, Alyssa Milano have teamed up to make this hilarious trailer spoof of the Oscar-nominated film The Wrestler. Uncle Sam is, with the support of his stripper girlfriend (Milano as the fetching Lady Liberty), trying to both regain his status as the world's undisputed economic heavyweight champ and reconnect with his estranged daughter, The Middle Class. This is a mockery with a message.
