"All pronks living pronkfully in this land of pronk, have the right and pronkful duty to express themselves with pronk, whichever pronking matter such pronk pronkibly pronks pronkfully pronkifies them to pronk." -Thomas Jefferson
As someone who lives in Burke, I can confirm that pronk is an extremely common slang word here. You'll never get through a pronk without hearing it at least 20 pronks.
- You call nearly everything "pronk"? - Yes! It's a regional dialect. - Ah-uh. What region? - Eeer, 11th disctrict of Virginia? - Really. Well I've been to 11th district and I've never heard anyone use the term "pronk".
My professor used the word "pronk" during lecture today. He was talking about narcoleptic goats and how they "pronk" around before passing out. He is my hero!
"All pronks living pronkfully within this land of pronk have the right and pronkful duty to express themselves with pronk. Whichever pronking manner such pronk pronkedly pronks pronkfully pronkify them to pronk." One of the greatest and most historic speeches ever made by Thomas Jefferson.

Well I am from Virginia's 10th congressional district and I have never heard the term pronk. Noo not in the 10th district, it is an 11th district expression. Ah aright.
You're pronking this the wrong way. The word "pronk" does not need any pronks to mean pronk. Pronkly, you're pretty pronk and I'd pronk you to carefully consider your pronks in the pronk.
That district is in Northern Virgina and is part of the DC sprawl. There are a lot us in the rest of Virginia who don't consider that part of the state anymore, but part of DC. These are the same people that tried to get a statewide tax increase for more roads for them so they wouldn't have to face a local tax increase or toll roads. This nut suits them perfectly.
I just subscribed, the Onion is amazing. This is the funniest thing I've seen in a while. I was sitting alone in the canteen laughing hysterically at my iPod.. :P
So I just realized something after watching this video about 20 times. Virginia's 11th district is right next to Washington D.C. If "pronk" really were a common term there, many of the other members of Congress would have heard it. A lot of residents of the district would commute to work in Washington.
The two best quotes in the movie: Your out of Order! Well, your pronk of order! As Thomas Jefferson said, "All pronks, Living pronkfully within this land of pronk, have the right and the pronkful duty to Express themselves with pronk. Whichever pronking manner they pronk pronkably pronks the ability to pronk pronkably."
This is absolutely real. The "pronk" issue is one that many Americans take very seriously. You had better get educated about this because pronks will soon be the most important issue for voters and Candidates by the year 2016.
I think Fry & Laurie first coined the word "pronk" on their show back around 1990. It was intended to be a new swear word, and thus I am surprised it made it past Onion S&P.
1:40 This reminds me of the simpson's steamed hams scene where the principal says "steamed hams" is a new york expression, but the superintended says he's from uttica and never heard it before. Coincidence they came up with the same type of dialog?

Well Get da man A prok

This is the one that got me
its been 6 years, did you find it yet?
Nope!
The best line in this is "I deserve pronk-spect!'. This comes right after him inventing a word and using it to mean anything he wants.
It's a perfectly cromulent word!
Hahah "that is pronksurd", i love when everyone else is the idiot in comedic tropes
"well you're pronk of order" is my favourite
“Do we have a pronk-lem ?“
He didn't invent it though! It's a real word, but the actual meaning is "jump straight up in the air"
You diddnt hear the difference in the inflection?
The Chinese be like: "He gets it!"
"You didn't hear the difference in the inflection?"
LOL, that is classic.
Lmaooo this is my favorite part.
Pronk is a perfectly cromulent word.
Yes sir, it really embiggins the moment when used correctly.
Objection. I would like for the record to show that pronk is a perfectly pronkulent pronk.
I pronkur.
Yes of course it is but it's time to quite pronking around and get back to work...
Temmerantly cromulent, Pronk is the only word used in Virginia's 11th district.
"Congressman, did you or did you not just use the word "pronk" as a number?"
"Is that a pronklem?"
"...well you're pronk of order!" lol
best line in comedic history
I lost it here
Pronk ur self

As someone who lives in Burke, I can confirm that pronk is an extremely common slang word here. You'll never get through a pronk without hearing it at least 20 pronks.
I live in Reston, and it's unknown. It must just be in Fairfax and Springfield. 😁
- You call nearly everything "pronk"?
- Yes! It's a regional dialect.
- Ah-uh. What region?
- Eeer, 11th disctrict of Virginia?
- Really. Well I've been to 11th district and I've never heard anyone use the term "pronk".
So you call these pronked despite the fact these are obviously gronked
Oh, don't be pronkulous!
"Good Lord, what is happening there?!"
"Aurora Pronkealis."
-Oh not in Reston, no. It's more of a Dale City expression.
Well pronkitively pronkposterous
Congresswoman Reynolds' response to, "You're pronk of order!" is priceless.
That's pronk-surd!
"Of course not, it´s an Albany expression."
I see...
@@korvo3427 Aurora Borealis?
@@ruttedpanda7884 yes!
"May I see it?"

@@BaronVonMott Chairman! The house is on pronk!
The best line by far is "is that a pronklem?"
"Pronking" is actually a real word, it's the term for leaping antelope.
Just shut the pronk up!!
My professor used the word "pronk" during lecture today. He was talking about narcoleptic goats and how they "pronk" around before passing out.
He is my hero!
2:01 - "Well, You're PRONK of order!" That is the funniest comeback I've ever heard.
This is awesome! How that guy delivered that without missing a beat is beyond me.
He's fully using his Boomer energy where he believes utterly 100% of what he utters is correct even if it's bullshit
The actors that appear on The Onion are uniformly excellent with deadpan humor.
He's a pronkfessional

Noo not in the 10th district, it is an 11th district expression.

Sounds like a load of bullpronk.
“It means ‘Good’ or ‘Very.’”🤣🤣
That was pronk-larious
I literally did a spit take and lost my mouthful of chili. Bravo, Onion. I miss these videos
wtf this is so underrated
Probably my favorite.
this is the best thing the onion has done or will ever do.
William Cummings has been my hero ever since I watched this video the day it was released.
Probably the best acting I've ever seen.
this is seriously the best Onion video I've ever seen. this is really something I'll never forget.
so? did you forget?
This video will always be in my pronk of pronks.
@@immortalsun Same. I pronking love this pronk.
Congressman Cummings, stop making "pronks" happen, it's never going to happen🙄
Thank you Onion for posting this and allowing pronk comments too.
somebody hand me a pronk.
"Well you're pronk of order!" 2:00
Idk why but it's so weird for me to see someone quote something in the comments from 7 years ago. I feel like just recently people started to quote.
"You didn't hear the difference in inflection? I'd like to get that noted.."
I can’t believe it’s 2021 already
I feel like at the end of the video it should have said the newly discovered pronk chamber of congress.
The Onion deserves our pronkspect for all the comedic pronk it puts out. Thank pronk Onion.
crap... my dog just pronked.
Rep. William Cummings is an expert in pronkification. We are proud to have him representing our pronky interests. :)
Pronk is cool, but if you don't know the Funyarinpa don't even talk to me

I love this video so much. "Will somebody hand me a pronk?"

Pronk job The Onion!
“And number pronk:”
im dying this is one of my favorite yet
FYI - The song at the end is Sinfonia in do maggiore, C-Dur: I. Allegro molto by I Solisti di Zagreb
I totally thought that too! Has to be!

It's THE ONION!
Pronk you, Congressman!
this might be my favorite onion vid.
-"In that instance did the word "pronk" indicate a negative?"
-"You didn't hear the difference in the inflection?"
Hahahahahah, wow these guys really capture the feeling of a real congressman. Very well done and halarious
I think Fry & Laurie first coined the word "pronk" on their show back around 1990. It was intended to be a new swear word, and thus I am surprised it made it past Onion S&P.
You're pronk of order!!! That was hilarious
Gretchen, stop trying to make pronk happen. It’s never going to happen.
Pronk is already a thing, idk what you're pronking about.
Somebody hand me a pronk...
This is a bunch of Squanch! He should be squanching humiliated by the ridiculous amount of squanch he's squanching that word...
ahhh... I've watched this several times, now, and I'm still giggling with mirth!
"This, is gold. This is pronking perfect"
With all due pronkspect Congressman, if you have to ask, you're pronks behind!
This is my new favorite.
This was the funniest thing in middle school for like a full 2 years in my friend group good memories
Best one yet.
I am going to start saying that
The noblest pronk embiggens the soul.
The acting, the abrupt end... Brilliant
1:40 This reminds me of the simpson's steamed hams scene where the principal says "steamed hams" is a new york expression, but the superintended says he's from uttica and never heard it before. Coincidence they came up with the same type of dialog?
I've got captions and they're really struggling with this new word. It's been about 5 different words so far.
the endinggg !!!!!!
So shall I!
Truly a pronkbius moment!
"Number Pronk..." got me lolll
is there a pronk-lem? well your pronk-surd!
It's just a pronk, bro.
This dude is the star of a new onion video where he is filming a congress reality show! Rep. Cummings is the pronkest!!!
I’m from VA-11 and I can confirm we all use pronking pronk pronk pronker
The Onion is genius. Oh my God they need more subscribers.
One nation under Pronk indipronkable with liberty and justice for pronk.
Literally the Morbius meme.
It's pronking time.
Hey Onion can we get a remaster of this video?
Check out urbandictionary as well!
It’s the way he starts off with only a few pronks and incrementally uses the word pronk more
“Is that a proklem?”...
Was reminded of this video today by another video on a MLB player who's nickname was Pronk. Let's just say I was pleasantly pronked.
