It's hard to make fun of the rogue-government that seized power.
You do your best to joke about Little George being dumb, but then he goes and tries to get Stevie Wonder's attention by waving. Little George: one of the things about blind people is that they can't see.
And then you mock the military, but they've decided to aim nukes at anybody they think might mess with them.
"Any guff from one of these countries, and they're radioactive toast," said Rice.
That's not funny.
Even the whole pretzel thing is too unlikely to be funny. Many people have eaten a pretzel without losing consciousness. It's a lot more likely that Little George was falling-down drunk. Maybe it wasn't even very much alcohol, but it reacted badly with his meds. We'll never know, and it isn't funny, but it's about a thousand times more plausible than the pretzel story.
