Comedian Interviews Occupy L.A. Protestors & Smokes A Li'l Pot

Occupy L.A. has received much attention from comedians in recent weeks. Roastmaster General Jeffrey Ross took the L.A. City Hall steps last Wednesday to roast Wall Street. Most recently, funny man Joe Hanson of Badge of Shame Comedy visited Occupy L.A.'s tent city last Thursday, interviewing (and hitting on) protestors.

"I'm always down to protest politics," Joe says, introducing the video. He wanders throughout the campground, chatting with an incognito Gallagher, a sexy Monopoly guy, a wolf and other characters, who all handle his banter quite well. Intermittently voicing his political opinions, Joe also belts out some Hank Williams, Jr. and Tag Team. One female, who suffered his sexual advances, says, "You're creepy." And we agree. But we also think Joe is pretty damn funny.

He concludes his segment with a quick hit off a joint, courtesy of (we assume) a fellow Occupier. Check out the shenanigans below in today's video lunch.
