Herman Cain Produces Best/Worst Campaign Ad Ever

Here's a brand new Herman Cain campaign ad, starring chief of staff Mark Block, that was just posted, unlisted, to his official YouTube channel. As far as we can tell, Block is drunk, and outside an Olive Garden? And the cameraman is some guy with an iPhone, also drunk, whom Block met at the bar? But, really, the horrible panning and cheap tilt-shift filter are nothing compared to what happens at the 40-second mark. Just trust us on this one, okay? We told you the guy was stupid! (via @pourmecoffee)

I actually don't think it's all that bad, just hilarious. Reminds me of something out of Tim & Eric Awesome Show.

1. So, did anyone see the ad?

5. he could have at least filled them lungs with those carcinegins(sp?)

that wittle bitty puff ain't got nothing on it.

BTW, who are they gonna take the country back from? Rob Emanual? Timothy Geitner? Hillary?. wtf is up wit dat?

7. 3 or 4 weeks ago?

[Leopolds Ghost]

8. Yeah, well, most people haven't.

9. anyone who watches Letterman or Leno or Colbert or Stewart or the evening news or

cable news or pretty much any other show which mentions current events has seen parts of this ad and heard it discussed.

12. And why would I watch that MSM shit?

Excerpting Colbert. Mind you, I used to.

Until I realized it was pablum that got repeated within hours on DU for days straight.

Topic of the day, and all that. I'm proud to say I didn't parrot a TV talking head by posting this.

11. Well, 1,464,876 have..that's pretty good for a shitty political ad on youtube

I mean if you do a search on Rick Perry Presidential Ad

You'll see some with 4k view, 10's of thousands...he's got 111K on his announces presidential run video...

For our dear Michele Bachmann (why couldn't her parents afford the second "l" in Michelle? ( :rofl: ) )
She's getting from 12K views to half a mil on one ad. Now, the video of her eating a corn dog is at 1,399,395. But that's still a good 60k views less than Herman.


So, by looking at some rough counts, I would say most people who are going to watch the ad probably have already. :)

2. So how much did Philip Morris pay for that I wonder? /nt

[Leopolds Ghost]

3. He blows smoke at the camera. Awesome! Also, I just love Cain's goofy shit-eating grin at the end :3

Hey, I'm a civil libertarian... people should have the right to smoke on TV.

4. Herman Cain is Watching You

10. It's Cancerman from the X-Files

Someone should redo the ad with the creepy X-Files theme playing over it, especially effective when Cain breaks into the weird smile. They could run the crawl "The truth is out there - cause it sure ain't here".
