Remember early on in Sharron Angle’s campaign when her staff was only composed of people who had no idea how to run a campaign? This is an ad they made with some elderly volunteers in the desert. Unfortunately, this ad didn’t air, because even Sharron Angle could see how bad and unprofessional (Did or did not Harry Reid vote against declaring English our national lap?) it was.
Yes, the people responsible for this ad were dead serious about it airing on television.
Hmm! Unfortunately, because it didn’t air, these old people will not receive the Emmys they deserve for their performances. And also those Angle staffers left them in the vans for a few hours with the windows up and they all died in the hot car, probably. And also Harry Reid was elected despite the fact he is literally a teenage illegal-immigrant gangbanger WEARING MULTIPLE BANDANAS. [Casey & Heather thanks to Wonkette operative "Edward O."]

Seventeen lunatics agree: Sharron Angle is a national treasure!
Her coming was foretold on the back of the Articles of Confederation.
Win.
They should have hired these women:

All treasures should be buried and found by another generation.
One KitH point for you.
I want all the KitH points. Wait until some Senator freaks out about losing his pen – I'm going to be all up in that!
Oh, bless their hearts.
I've seen better acting in my old grade schools' annual first grade Christmas play.
In spite of the uplifting music, it didn't seem to be very good…
How old are you? Maybe that was them!
Mid-30s, much too young for these folks. Surely there's got to some geriatrics with acting talent in Nevada who are either wingers or desperate enough to take money from Angle, though.
Teatards always get "projecting your voice" confused with "screaming incoherently".
But how did Casey and Heather vote? Obviously for the buffet.
Judging by her picture, I think she voted for Applebee's.
That Olive Garden is just too un-American.
Early and often.
They air on faux noise in Vegas. The math, it is not hard.
Now doesn't that just explain everything, bless their hearts.
Is this another promo for "The Walking Dead"?
Walking Brain Dead, actually.
This is the worst episode of Golden Girls ever.
I was going to go with X-files, only for the soundtrack. Yours is better.
Cocoon 3 is even worse than Cocoon: The Return.
Oh, the shtupping that would have followed, given that were true. Thanks, Fare, for the imagery.
I wouldn't give you a thumbs down with Bea Arthur's thumb. So, thumbs up it is!
Ironic, isn't it?
This was an ad featuring people WEARING MULTIPLE BANDANAS..
For a target audience that WEARS MULTIPLE CONFEDERATE FLAGS.
This is good news for….
oh, screw it.
However, this would make an excellent ad for death panels.
what a subtle bandit that mild-mannered harry reid turned out to be. he looted all the money these poor folks were going to use for acting classes.
You haven't heard the interesting and poignant back story – these are the last surviving extras from Cecil B. DeMille's 1923 silent epic "The Ten Commandments". Gigs like these don't come around every day (in fact, not since 1923)…."must be able to emote while wandering in the desert"…a pretty specialized skill set, you'd agree.
There is nothing anyone can say about this video that is funnier than the video itself. The end.
Are you new around here?
Wow. That's the first time I ever thought "hmmm . . . I'd rather be watching Gigli."
You could go to tlc.com and watch trailers for "Sarah Palin's Alaska". I heard it works better than Temazepam and Vodka.
I guess long-untouched junk turns you in to a shouty old white person wandering the desert cursing Harry Reid.
Moses?
It's like a post-apocalyptic sci-fi! "What do we do now?!?!" they ask.
Hmm. I recommend cannibalism. It's the only way. That middle-aged flesh is going to be stringy, but there's lots of juicy fat. Then the last survivor should suicide by shotgun due to the overwhelming guilt etc.
Meh. Needs moar "I've fallen, and I can't get up!"
I actually spent a couple of days in the Inland Empire area just before the mid term elections. I met olds like that.
It was then I understood why Meth was so popular out there.
Did you happen to bump into Ken Layne?
"bump"
Saw a crazy guy in sunglasses muttering to himself. I yelled "KEN!" He just looked at me and walked away.
I wonder if this was instead of sitting through the 90 minute spiel about condos to get the gift certificate to Waffle House?
"WE. LIKE. ROY! WE. LIKE. ROY!"
My money was on the tiger!
I bet Kevin MacLeod is rethinking letting just anyone use his music royalty free now.
Though, you have to admit it was a stroke of brilliance to have the black guy shout "Sharon Angle was RIGHT!!1!" The only thing better would be to have a Latino shout "The Messicans are dangerous!!!!"
"And he turned in a notable performance, having to carry the weight of the rest of the ensemble on his shoulders."
Damn. I've always wanted to say that, while pretending to write reviews in the NYT.
A vision passed in front of my eyes of a Teabagger shouting, "The people are revolting!"
So why did she kill this ad? I'm assuming it's because there wasn't enough screaming and confusion to reach her target demographic.
Well, I was thinking that maybe a bunch of people walking through a manmade ravine looked too much like illegal immigrants, but then I realized that none of them were Asian.
The book was a lot better.
I swear, if this had been shot in black and white, it could've passed for the zombie scene from "Night of the Living Dead".
"Night of the Dead Living."
*Spoiler Alert* *Spoiler Alert* *Spoiler Alert*
The black guy becomes the sensible hero, and then the redneck racists shoot him in the end.
Figuratively speaking, I think this was the plot of the most recent U.S. Senate race in South Carolina.
Thanks for the heads up. I almost read your post.
Bad location scouting – if they'd filmed it in the local Walmart parking lot, they could've have a few of the Olds on scooters, then they would have had true representation of Sharron's constituency. How can you have a gathering of teabaggers without a few old fucks on scooters?
I think that building in the background is where they make the Soylent Green.
Good. Close enough we won't have to give these old farts a ride.
Based on the acting quality, I think they filmed it in front of an assistant living facility from which they just grabbed residents at random (except for the Mexican ones obviously).
This is pretty much like the plays that our local retirement facility puts on to raise money for new wheelchair ramps. Only our seniors have the good sense to end their skits by lip syncing to a Miley Cyrus song.
Another place where Chuck Todd's quip on "The Daily Grind", that he & his "wife" are using "Potty in the U.S.A." as an impetus to teaching their daughter to use the toilet, would be appropriate.
Dang, if I'd seen this, I would've voted for Angle! Why didn't the lamestream media report on this box in the desert? Or at least off Desert Inn Road, easily 5 minutes from the nearest breakfast buffet.
The majority of rural Nevadans DID vote for her. If not for the relatively enlightened parts of Clark and Washoe Counties and Carson City, she would be John Ensign's new pal. As it turned out, look for her to mount a challenge to him in the primary.
That'll be even more fun!
Couldn't agree more! She'll win, obvs, and a dick vote is a dick vote regardless of the gender of the voter.
AHRGHM LERKING FOR IT AHRGM LERKING FOR IT
Strategery.
In the unedited version there is a great scene when Guffman finally shows up.
"I hate you and your ass face!" Love that movie!
"Incompetech.com" produced it?? Man, these idiots just make their own gravy!
Hoo hoo! Imma stealing that one!
I can't stop laughing. I'm in tears and close to getting fired. Thank you.
you know these are the same people that get a check every month and have most of their health care paid for. Too bad its in Nevada where the slot machine investments tank right after they get the check.
You know what? I'm sure that there IS a video of it somewhere. But it's not on YouTube, as of yet.
That's what you get when you pull grandma from her favorite Double Diamond Deluxe machine and tell her you'll pay her twenty bucks..
20 grandma whore diamonds!
and they forgot why they were there, in the desert, and perished, the end.
I just love a happy ending! Yay!
If it was too bad for Angle to air it, then I'm afraid my psyche is entirely too delicate for me to watch it.
Oh, but you must! FORCE YOURSELF.
Totally agree. It's worth the momentary pain!
Kinda surprised not to see any box-outs or checkerboard fade-ins, since this was obviously made with a cell-phone camera and Windows Moviemaker.
(p.s. I wonder how long it took them to find that one black guy)
ever seen _Bubba Ho-Tep_?
That has to be the funniest worst movie ever made.
According to the reich-wingers here in Nevaduh, teh blacks were flown here by FEMA following Katrina. Not even kidding.
But not THAT black guy. He's probably a retired Army sgt settled down on a Nevada ranchette somewhere, after having been based at desert military installations all his life.
Probably a decent guy in person. Lifelong government employee with a generous government pension. Enjoys golf. Hates paying taxes and hates socialism.
Horrible actor.
I just made the mistake of viewing this. My God. These people wouldn't make the 7th grade drama club.
Some douchebag actually gets credit at the end for the "music".
It's a Casio, Warm Steel Pad Fade.
That's going on his resume when he applies to the Nevada GOP for an endorsement to run for State School Board.
Once he's there, he'll vote to cut all funds for music education and have his revenge on those elitists, with their notes and their timing and their theories. Let the Eagle Sore!!1!
And the tune is called "Right Behind You". Some sort of Death stalker allusion? Or perhaps some warning about the GOP gay agenda?
Must. Find. Mexican. Brains.
The olds voted for people who will eliminate their Social Security and Medicare.
They think they're acting, but it's really practice for the rest of their days.
Have fun dying in the desert sun, you stupid, miserable, old bigots!

The anti-Socialism candidate made a teevee ad centering on the most Socialist aspect of American society, and how she blames her opponent for trashing it.
Oh the stupid, it hurts.
I can't wait for the sequel. You know, the one where she fixes Social Security by giving it to Wall Street.
Also coming soon, The 2nd Amendment Remedies…..
That single take shot was longer than the opening for Touch of Evil.
Needs more crane.
Also, Casey & Heather = Mike & Molly Lite?
We've wondered how a clueless dingbat like Jan Brewer gets elected. Wonder no more.
Odd. They're in the desert, but not one headless corpse to be seen. Hmm.
At first I thought that was what they were looking for, but then they found that box.
I'm confused. Wasn't Angle's whole campaign advocating for dismantling social security and letting the olds fend for themselves in the wilderness?
That's why it never aired and the olds are wandering in the wilderness without their medication
which is the real reason this never aired, not because of the Hollywood production standards…
This seems like a perfectly good solution to Social Security funding: Tell the olds the money is in one of the many treasure chests you can find out in in the Nevada desert. Just keep looking. Even if only a few dozen
fall for itvoluntarily go, it will help.What's truly amazing is that this ad was considered to awful because of PRODUCTION VALUE.
Would have been infinitely better had they yelled out "Where's the Beef?" upon opening the box.
Or maybe this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVMLivHTXac
This video definitely supports funding for a critical area of biomedical research:
-What turns on the white shoe/white pants gene in older people?
-Is there a way to reverse this inevitable tragedy facing all of us?
It's like buff youngs wearing revealing clothes to show off their hot bods; in this case, it's continent olds showing off their astonishing failure to shit in their pants/down into their shoes.
So THIS is the threshold something has to meet to be too fucked up, even for Sharon Angle. Duly noted.
Old people are the worst.
The fat guy who opened the trust fund box and found the message was barely able to bend far enough to pick it up. He probably keeled over from a stroke on the way back to the van.
Jesus, that was beautiful… I'm gettin' all misty.
This has the production values of a bad Southern Baptist Rapture Scare Flick.
It tested much better once they cut the angry black man's lines.
Why did I find that arousing?
It's kinda like a Beckett play.
A lifeless desert, concrete. A box.
Dry heat
A crowd of Arizona Olds centerstage wobble forward
OLDS 1
Guys, it's gotta be here somewhere.
OLDS 2
I'm looking for it!
OLDS 3
We've worked our whole lives for this!
An evil gang of Abbie Hoffman wannabes. No wonder NASA wants to shoot grandma into space to live on Mars.
In fairness, the Angle campaingn didn't use this on account of, they used the "Hitler discovers his lockbox has been opened" ripoff.
wow, old people really suck! it sounds like "Harry Reid — slowly I turn — step by step" from the Three Stooges. oh damn, if I know the Three Stooges – I must be old too! where's my social security!
actually — the reason Angle probably declined this is she doesn't want Social Security at all, right, as it's all communist welfare…
So, was that worse than the Demon Sheep ad? I'm torn.

Panda porn or GTFO
Actually, I thought this was a commercial against Arizona's immigration law, showing old people wandering in the desert, wondering wheir their gardeners, housekeepers and caregivers all went, and who would prepare and serve their next meal.
While you're at it you stupid Olds, why don't you vote for Bristol like 500 X's apiece.
Outtake from Cowboys & Aliens. The soundtrack was pretty funny.
Too much sexual tension is why they pulled it, right?
I don't know about you guys, but I think they were REALLY looking for Ted Binions silver, out there, and happened to stumble across the lockbox. Surely, Ted had more silver than the government has SS.
BTW, anyone who's ever spent any time out in Vegas knows that this was shot on some dirty empty lot behind an Albertson's. I'm sure after they got done they were treated to comps in the Albertsons since they have gambling in their fuckin' grocery stores. Let me tell how bizarre that is.
Thanks for the 411. The building in the background kind of looked like a prison to me. What a messed up place, no wonder the Corleone family had so many problems there.
Thumbs up for the Ted Binion reference!
Vegas is a strange, strange land…
What a great ad
In depth
To the point
Convincing
They should run it on Fox News hourly
That was AWESOME! Plus, I liked the lady with the big boobies.
Wow that was bad.
