What's fascinating about this show, is that it's the only show to feature Bush pre-9/11. So none of the plots center around war, terrorism, etc, like every other caricature and parody of Bush that came after it.
@@Leon-zu1wpThe show was canceled because it was too expensive to produce. Each episode cost approximately $1 million and Comedy Central did not want to pay that much for it. The show ended before the 9/11 terrorist attacks even happened.
Really! The "Midas touch" notion ignores such flashes in the pan as Time Warped, Princess and especially Sassy Justice. I mean, what was even up with that last one?
My favorite episode was the finale, where Dick Cheney takes over, and George is out on his ass trying a bunch of different jobs that turn into their OWN sitcom parodies, like he gets hired as a teacher and his life becomes like "Welcome Back Kotter", a bartender and his life becomes "Cheers", etc
I remember there was a plot where Bush was holding a rave at the white house, and Dick Cheney tried to seize control of the US, but George Bush took it back in a wrestling match. Politics were something else pre 9/11.
I loved this show, at least partially because I grew up in Kennebunkport where the Bushes spend their summers. Barbara used to come into the video store where I worked to rent movies for the grandkids lol
To this day, when driving through a bad neighborhood, I still think of the Jefferson's parody they did on this show. "Well we movin' on down! To the crappy side of town!"
as a lifelong fan of matt and trey, i unironically think "that's my bush!" might be the best thing they've ever done. it's so good and it is so unfair that no one watched it and died a quiet, unceremonious death. i would give ANYTHING for them to make a reunion show in the vein of typical sitcom reunion shows, it would be such an unbelievably funny move and all 20 of us who love this show would be in heaven
They should do a one-off sketch called "That's My Trump", with Donald in the White House. Larry bursts in, as usual, only Donald has him arrested for trespassing.
@@ExplorerDS6789 Why not one about Biden where everyone barges in because the door is unlocked and there is a big threat to the White House from all the people inhabiting the White House, so they send them all off on buses across the country and then use our tax dollars to give them free healthcare and housing? Wouldn't that be hilarious?
I definitely thought that the September of that year had something to do with the show ending. I'm proud of Matt and Trey for getting cancelled on their own merits.
Kurt Fuller is always awesome, his casting as "MC Rove" was inspired. He's the best part of the Hulk Hogan movie: No Holds Barred, he basically plays Vince McMahon and he's INCREDIBLE.
I think it was a bit ahead of its time, nobody got the joke. I think the inspiration may have come from the infamous "Heil Honey I'm Home!" sitcom in the UK, which had a similar premise... although Hitler in a sitcom was probably a bridge too far.
It wasnt risky to make fun of republicans back then. They were the jokes of the world and everyone mercilessly made fun of them. It was until republicans started resorting to terrorist tactics like threatening anyone who talked bad about them did it stop because show runners wimped out and didnt stand up to them.
It was SO funny! I bought the entire series on ITunes many years ago. It actually holds up far beyond the Bush years… It just comes off as a really funny campy sitcom
I have very fond memories of the show, and I was really disappointed when it got canceled. You nailed it it was brilliant. Oh yeah and I still have a copy of the spirit of Christmas on VHS that I got in college in 1997. These guys have always been a treasure and we're always good at steering the culture in the right direction
"The First Ladies Persqueeter" was so over the top it was hilarious and uncomfortable. Being a person who also hates sitcoms of the same era I loved how they took the piss out of them. The absurdity of running common sit com tropes on a show placed in the White House was perfect. Especially adding the neighbor character who just randomly pops up and let's himself in.
It wouldn’t be the last time John D’Aquino would have a role in a 2000s sitcom about the President of the United States, as he would lend his talents to star in one of the greatest anime of all time: Cory in the House. (I’m being silly of course, but I’m very sure any Gen Z viewers of this channel would likely recognize John D’Aquino right away.)
I was in a stage show once with John about saving Christmas from the devil (played by Dom Deluise's son) by bringing literally Burt Reynolds to our home town. Our community theater director had some weird connections, man. Anyway, John was awesome. Just the chilliest, most down to earth guy. This was after Corey in the House. I wish I would have known this existed then. I would have asked him about Matt and Trey.
The South Park 25th anniversary concert was an experience I wish more shows got. The Simpsons took the Hollywood Bowl…but it wasn’t proshot AND the show lasted another decade.
I think i was one of the few people who liked this when it first aired. I remember trying to talk to people about it and no one had seen it or could hardly believe it was a real thing. Lol
It’s fascinating just how this show came to be and how they originally intended to make the show about Al Gore since they thought he’d win, but once George W. Bush won, they changed it to a show about Bush. Great video Joe, I hope you’re doing well. Keep up the great work and take care!
I never saw that film, but It’s trailer lives in my memory for being featured on the “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II” VHS, under its original title “Stepkids.”
I think you meant Stepkids. lol jk Sorry, this was imo the better title and made more since. The name change was so dumb. I spent years trying to find that movie because of the TMNT 90’a live action movie trailer. Lol I’ll never forgive.
I love this show, still pull out the DVDs once or twice a year. I remember the show being pretty successful but Comedy Central couldn’t afford to keep producing it. It wasn’t a failure at all, just expensive.

I was a senior in High School when that’s my Bush was on. I remember me and a friend in one of my classes laughing at the “One of these Days Laura I’m gonna PUNCH YOU IN THE FACE!” Because it really was just a more on the nose version of the actual line from the Honeymooners 🤣
I got this on DVD in 2006 and I loved it. The show is more of a parody of sitcoms less of the bush administration, but I thought it was great. I love how they thought Al Gore was gonna win and it was originally titled. Everybody Loves Al, but then changed when he lost.
I love listening to Trey and Matt's commentaries on the South Park DVDs and getting to hear their thoughts about either the episode or why they came up with the idea. Or talking about whatever comes to their mind.
This show is a perfect time capsule of the South Park Republican edginess that I definitely participated in as a millennial teenager in the 2000s. We thought we were so cool and politically with it because we watched stuff like this or The Daily Show. What a simpler time!
The era of the nihilist/centrist. The era of Gen X politics. The edgy opinion of making fun of both sides and saying “I’m not racist. I hate everybody!” It was the era of Norm McDonald, Southpark, Attitude era WWF, and Jackass. Definitely fun at the time.
god i remember this. i can remember the ditzy secretary wanting to be smart and took pills for it but misread and instead was taking mammary enhancers, not memory enhancers. Also Princess was also the name of a flash media series they tried to make online in around 2000, Princess The Dog. It's very NSFW. It can be found sometimes if you look hard enough.
Honestly “lesser known Matt & Trey pieces” are often my favorite things to watch. Even if they’re cheesy and bad, they have that unavoidable Parker & Stone flavor that I do adore so much. Haven’t watched this (yet) but I have seen all their movies many, many times. I wouldn’t say everything of theirs becomes a success by any means, but I don’t think many things of theirs are anything less than spot on their style. Very very few of their things ever got derailed by studio notes or a drive for commercialization (although South Park of current day is definitely on that edge lol)
I fondly remember this show coming out when I was 16/17 (right before things got completely derailed by 9/11) and it was definitely an acquired taste leaning hard on the viewer knowing sitcom history. I still quote the "youth in Asia" joke to this day so was thrilled to see it used here. Not sure how much steam the concept as a whole held but am glad we got what we did.
I have forgotten about this show. I saw it on RUclips back in 2006 when RUclips was a year old. I watched it out of curiosity because I was sporadically watching South Park at the time.
The only real "failure" this show had was that it was too accurate a parody of sitcoms, which ended up making it the same run-of-the-mill sitcom that it was trying to parody. Which isn't to say that it was bad. It was unsettlingly solid, as I remember it.
Thought about this show a few months ago and managed to get a DVD copy of it. Seen this when I was like 12-13 late at night and loved the hoaky sitcom stuff. Way better than what was on Nick @ Nite
I remember when the 'That's My Bush' characters made a cameo on South Park. Unfortunately it's in one of the banned episodes, 'Super Best Friends' (S5, Ep3)
_That's My Bush!_ was brilliant in the respect that it mainly parodied sitcom tropes instead of mocking George W. Bush (as everyone else was doing) - but the novelty lasted about an episode. The premise was better suited to a sketch or a special than it was to a series.
Might have worked as a limited series but I don't think was an easy sell to networks at the time. I still remember the final episode with all the other characters being terrified of Dick Cheney,
I once had this on DVD. I would have just DVR'd the marathon but the weather was bad and our satellite crashed. My friend showed me this when we were in middle school.
I don't know if that one would even qualify as Almost a Cult film. There's nothing special about it but I always thought Candy and Levi worked well together and I was entertained. Meg Ryan was a cutie as usual.
This show was great, decades later and the theme song still pops into my head. Also the classic line. “We have the right to bear arms, but not to arm bears”
There was a movie spin off script in the works called “George W. bush and the secret of the Glass Tiger” where he would’ve been a superhero but some of that script was later used for Team America
I bet I would have really enjoyed the show if I knew about it at the time. I would have turned 13 years old around the time that the show ended. I think it would simply be awesome if this show just happened to be available on a streaming site today so I can easily find it
I remember this show so well! Thanks for bringing it up to introduce it to a new generation. But I thought that the reason it was cancelled was because at the next new season of TV, 9-11 happened and it was declared that no one could make fun of him any longer.
What's fascinating about this show, is that it's the only show to feature Bush pre-9/11. So none of the plots center around war, terrorism, etc, like every other caricature and parody of Bush that came after it.
And the fact that the show was canceled because Bush was TOO popular to be hated on after 9/11. Truly a very tumultuous Presidency.
@@Leon-zu1wpThe show was canceled because it was too expensive to produce. Each episode cost approximately $1 million and Comedy Central did not want to pay that much for it. The show ended before the 9/11 terrorist attacks even happened.
Thanks for pointing that out! Fascinating
Sh*t, you're right!
It wasnt just making fun of bush though. it was making fun of the presidency, elections, even us.....
Trey and Matt’s weirder and more forgotten projects are always fascinating to me
Really! The "Midas touch" notion ignores such flashes in the pan as Time Warped, Princess and especially Sassy Justice. I mean, what was even up with that last one?
Thanx for giving me shit to track down and check out
@@KenLieck the mormon pornstar movie is pretty funny
"Orgazmo" is definitely worth viewing for the term 'stunt-cock' alone.
@@KenLieckSassy Justice was mainly an excuse to have fun with deepfake 😂 I loved it
Oh hey, I didn't hallucinate this show after all.
My favorite episode was the finale, where Dick Cheney takes over, and George is out on his ass trying a bunch of different jobs that turn into their OWN sitcom parodies, like he gets hired as a teacher and his life becomes like "Welcome Back Kotter", a bartender and his life becomes "Cheers", etc
Of course, there's also "Witty Banter", where his life becomes every NBC sitcom set at a magazine in the late 90's.
Love how they had a theme song for each transition. "White House Wrestler" being one of the funniest to me.
@@Unquestionablei wonder if Trey and Matt had fun making all those different themes.
The "George down on his luck" segment even kicks off with an inversion of "The Jeffersons" called "Movin' on Down!"
That and the assisted suicide of the cat are episodes that live rent free in my head.
I remember there was a plot where Bush was holding a rave at the white house, and Dick Cheney tried to seize control of the US, but George Bush took it back in a wrestling match. Politics were something else pre 9/11.
RIP Marcia Wallace
I got this show on DVD! Literally got it free from a pawn lol. I think it's pretty good
Someone gave it to me on DVD.
It's seriously underrated
I recorded (& re-watched) every episode on VHS
0:11 I swear, these two went through a phase where they just refused to fix their hair before interviews 🤣
I loved this show, at least partially because I grew up in Kennebunkport where the Bushes spend their summers. Barbara used to come into the video store where I worked to rent movies for the grandkids lol
Did she have security following her around? I always wondered how far out the bubble of secret service worked for former presidents lmao
I agree that the show should be remembered, but for me it was always a case of each episode being much funnier conceptually than in execution.
I am hearing that laugh track and already know I couldn't handle that. I know that's part of old sitcoms but it stinks so bad.
To this day, when driving through a bad neighborhood, I still think of the Jefferson's parody they did on this show. "Well we movin' on down! To the crappy side of town!"
I want to vist the alternate reality where we got Everybody Loves Al
You and me both, on so many levels. The 21st century story would be so vastly different…
I loved the catch phrase “I’m gonna punch you in the face!”
The euthanasia joke puts me in mind of a time I spent an extended discussion thinking proliferation was related to abortion rights.
If you want another extremely short lived Matt and Trey show, check out the animated series, "Princess". It was cancelled after only two episodes!!!
Hey! Hello you!
they also had that deep fake show which didn't last long but it was terrible

Probably. That show was hilarious. Underrated
what happened in September of 2001? I think youre mistaken. Did someone poop in a urinal?
It definitely wouldn't have helped.
You’re “proud”..? How do you know them???

@@OikPoinFive Kurt was born to play Klink in a Hogan's Heroes reboot
He's great at playing grumpy studio execs. Wayne's World and Wrong Cops being good examples. Really great comedic timing and line delivery.
@@ChrisMeadows92 He even dressed up in lingerie for Scary Movie, dude goes all out, and I LOVE character actors - the true heroes.
You mean Ted Turner
John D’Aquino will always be beloved by us sci fi nerds for his roles on seaQuest and Quantum Leap.
He also wrote an episode of _Quantum Leap._
I love how the neighbor would go onto play the president in everyone's favorite anime: Cory in the House.
I knew I recognized that stud of a man for the best of reasons.
Couldn’t for the life of me figure out where I recognized him from
Easily our finest fictional president.
@@SkylerMillerTheBronxProject I recognized him from SeaQuest DSV.
It's the president, no way, no way!
Matt and Trey are legit friendship goals
Since John D'Aquino is in there,i assume it's a prequel to Cory in the House lol
It wasn't a show about Bush, it was a show about sitcoms.
Exactly!
The problem, if you liked Bush - he was portrayed as a buffoon. If you hated him, he was shown to be an okay guy and not evil at all. Lose-lose
Should have made it a show… about NOTHING!
Isn't that what he said?
That's what the video is about. It gets brought up many times. You don't have many original thoughts, do you?
I think it was a bit ahead of its time, nobody got the joke. I think the inspiration may have come from the infamous "Heil Honey I'm Home!" sitcom in the UK, which had a similar premise... although Hitler in a sitcom was probably a bridge too far.
Idk I'm still holding on hope for a full series of heil honey being out there
@@heggy_69 I hope, that show shouldn't stay partially found
Having a sitcom about him does not feel very different from having movies making fun of him to me.
Having watched it, I agree and am amazed how many people completely missed the point of the thing.
No, A Bridge Too Far is a movie
I loved this show! Sometimes I feel like I'm the only person who's ever seen it. Thanks for the look back.
Ah, Kurt Fuller! I literally just finished watching the entirety of Psych for the first time.
Comedy central took ALOT of risks in the 2000s
let time never forget about The Man Show 😬
@@internettrash5120 And how demented that was!
Crank Yankers was great, so was Reno 911. I also liked Halfway Home.
Heck, TV Funhouse was a huge risk too lol I was all about Comedy Central from 1998-2012 lost interest after that time

It was SO funny! I bought the entire series on ITunes many years ago. It actually holds up far beyond the Bush years… It just comes off as a really funny campy sitcom
The opening theme to "That's My Bush!" has lived in the back of my brain for 23 years.
This show and TV FUNHOUSE were so formative for my sense of humor. Early 2000s Comedy Central was the place to be!
I LOVED this show. Just as much as a sitcom spoof as Get a Life. Completely unhinged yet so enjoyable.
Chris Elliott is such an underrated comedian
Get a life was great
I remember _Get a Life_ and it's absurdism. Multiple episodes feature Chris dying.
I have very fond memories of the show, and I was really disappointed when it got canceled. You nailed it it was brilliant.

Matt and Trey thought Gore would win in 2000? Well, I guess that wasn't the last time they'd be wrong about a presidential election...
Who cares
Technically he did, but Jeb stepped in, along with an assist by The Supreme Court.

Thank you for this most excellent vidya.

Just like Heil Honey, I'm Home.
@@FrenkTheJoyI still want to see the unaired episodes of that.
I once had this on DVD. I would have just DVR'd the marathon but the weather was bad and our satellite crashed.
My friend showed me this when we were in middle school.
would love to see a forgotten failure for that one John Candy film Armed and Dangerous. that one is.. certainly a movie that exists.
I don't know if that one would even qualify as Almost a Cult film. There's nothing special about it but I always thought Candy and Levi worked well together and I was entertained. Meg Ryan was a cutie as usual.
@@gregmeyer1805 I mean more as a forgotten failure than a cult film. wasn't saying the movie was good in the slightest
Ummm that movie is awesome! Why would it be on forgotten failures?
This show was great, decades later and the theme song still pops into my head.
Also the classic line.
“We have the right to bear arms, but not to arm bears”
I really loved this show when it was on. That theme song never left my brain
There was a movie spin off script in the works called “George W. bush and the secret of the Glass Tiger” where he would’ve been a superhero but some of that script was later used for Team America
That photo at 0:21 is one of the greatest things I have ever seen. I love Matt/Trey. 😂
I thought That’s My Bush was hysterical back when it was airing, I didn’t even realize it was considered a failure haha
I bet I would have really enjoyed the show if I knew about it at the time. I would have turned 13 years old around the time that the show ended. I think it would simply be awesome if this show just happened to be available on a streaming site today so I can easily find it
My whole life I thought that the maid was the "kiss my grits" lady.
My favorite joke in the show that I couldn't believe they got away with, "What's whiteydo?"
I remember this show so well! Thanks for bringing it up to introduce it to a new generation. But I thought that the reason it was cancelled was because at the next new season of TV, 9-11 happened and it was declared that no one could make fun of him any longer.
