commercials

Tucked amid the Stupor Bowl teevee commercials for naked chocolate candies, cheesy salt chips, war pornography, and the latest domestic water-beers was this one featuring old Clint Eastwood, the next Bat-Man, scouring stadium catacombs for the The Joker or maybe the Taco Bell. “It’s halftime in America and our second half’s about to begin,” he [...]

Sarah Palin made a dumb campaign video called “American Foundations” about her bus tour, even though she says she was not on a campaign tour. But the video ends with a title card for her PAC, so it is pretty much a video campaigning for money for Sarah Palin. The edit is a mix of [...]

Now that Donald Trump has declared victory on President Obama’s birth certificate he can return to the REAL issue of his campaign, which, according to this video blog from his desk a month ago, is that an actor in television advertisements for Geico should not be in those advertisements. Look, Trump likes the talking lizard [...]

Your favorite disappearing Delaware meatball wiccan has reappeared on the television and the YouTube! Turns out she’s running for Senate or something? And now she’s tan, ready and rested — which means she’s ready to talk about the important issues facing America. For instance: “I’m not a witch. I’m nothing you’ve heard.” Oh boy. Also: [...]

OH MY GOD WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE IF REPUBLICANS DO NOT KILL ALL OF THESE DEMOCRAT SPACE MONSTERS BEFORE THEIR MOTHERSHIP COMES! Yes, like the Democratic Governors Association, the RGA has come up with a movie trailer for this election to rile up their base. And it actually has much higher production value [...]

Len Britton is a Republican from Vermont running for U.S. Senate this election season — and if there’s one thing he loves, it’s sitting idly by on picnic tables while a random adult male throws diseased salmonella pork water on children who then drown in a lake. Britton approves of this evil stunt in the [...]

Production values far exceed the Demon Sheep Level of recent Republican efforts, so we will give this commercial an “A” for effort. Nobama will tax the oxygen you breathe, and the wheelchairs you use to get around the Hometown Buffet. To make President Obama listen to your concerns, just go to … GOP.com? [Rumproast]

Here is this new television advertisement from the League of American Voters. Exposition of plot: Only a bureaucrat with a characteristically Big Government binder would tell such a cute hipster she has to send her money to uncool dying Olds instead of spending her paycheck at rock n’ roll performances and blue v-neck t-shirt sales. [...]

Here’s the great new John McCain commercial starring America’s hilarious sparring lower-income couple, teevee’s “The Honeymooners,” discussing America’s health-care nightmare and how McCain dumped his first wife because she was crippled in a car wreck. [YouTube/Patrick Wilson Films]

Well, that was a very fancy narrative television show Barack Obama produced! We’ll pick up 6 episodes, with an option for 13. (Would have been better if Meredith Grey had come out in the end with a little monologue about her fear of commitment and then had sex with Barack Obama on top of the [...]

Even though the Obama campaign is notoriously well organized and “on message,” can you imagine the in-box of ideas for these web commercials? Basically, every time Sarah Palin opens her mouth — or briefly closes one eye — it’s comedy gold. [My Barack Obama]

Here’s your new Obama Campaign spot, and it’s got so much bug-eyed weirdness and nervous blinking from McCain! Also, serious policy stuff, what with how Walnuts is always loving Bush Junior. [Gawker]

While everybody else was laughing at that ridiculous Paris Hilton/Obama ad the McCain people released yesterday, at least two very wealthy Republican donors were furious: William Barron Hilton and Rick Hilton, Paris’ grandfather and father.

Barack Obama has a new ad called “Dignity,” and it is all about what a candidate loses in the process of running for President. Ha ha, just kidding! But the part in the end where he strangles the old lady is pretty undignified. [YouTube]
