New boring counter-cartoon

Do you remember the Monty Python routine about the killer joke, specifically the part about the failed German attempt to develop a counter-joke? Here is a reminder:
But by December their joke was ready,
and Hitler gave the order for the German V-Joke
to be broadcast in English.

Cut to 1940's wartime radio set with couple anxiously listening to it.

Radio:
(crackly German voice)
Der ver zwei peanuts, valking down der strasse, and von vas... assaulted! peanut. Ho-ho-ho-ho.

Radio bursts into "Deutschland Uber Alles".
The couple look at each other and then in blank amazement at the radio.
Well, I think we just saw the launching of the Muslim V-Cartoon.
