Gary Johnson Embarrassing Gary Johnson Political Ad

[GopBlackList]

This is not a dig on Governor Johnson.. in fact he's my second choice after Ron Paul and I may end up voting for him but.. check out this video...

 

[Brian4Liberty]

Not sure what the target audience there is. Non-voters?

"Baby"?

 

[Wren]

Nothing says douche like that ad.

 

[Indy Vidual]

Up until 40 seconds it was fine, after that

 

[Wren]

Truth be told, I think I bust a nut laughing when the dancing guy popped up lol.

 

[LibertyEagle]

LOL. That was pretty bad.

Nothing says "vote for me!" like footage of a random gyrating hipster with your name in the background. You guys are being too harsh!

 

[Aratus]

methinks late 60s early 70s bellbottoms go along with the slogan~!!!!!
like how did the frug go as a dance step because it aint a jitterbug~? okay!
lets be fair, the ad began rather well & did make an admirable statement.

Some things are harder to spin than others, no doubt about it.

Still, I can put a better spin on this cringe-worthy ad than Jack Hunter can put on Rand Paul's endorsement of Mitt Romney (in June, on Hannity, punctuated with a pledge to CAMPAIGN for Romney).

"Baby, I'm with you" (surely?!) harkens back to YOU'VE COME A LONG WAY, BABY.

1.) BABY Boomers remember that.
2.) BABY Boom Women remember that even better.

The "gyrating hipster" speaks to several voting blocs with one spastic dance:

1.) iPod Youth (recall instant-classic billboard with silhouetted move-busters...America's gotta lotta DISILLUSIONED Obamamaniacs)
2.) "White Man's Overbite" (Wiggers turned out for Obama, big BIG time...fist-bumps all around)
3.) “Sing like no one's listening, love like you've never been hurt, dance like nobody's watching, and live like it's heaven on earth.” (Mark Twain)

I think the dancing is meant to jokingly emphasize "We're not a Party."

I think it works if people get that.

 

[brushfire]

..Got my cheeze whiz, boy?

 

[The Goat]

At least its not, "he's really catching on I'm tellin ya!"

 

[trey4sports]

oh god.


that was fucking epic.

nothing says "serious presidential contender" like a hipster dancing in one of your powerpoint ads.

 

[AdamT]

Wow that was pretty terrible. Dancing hippie guy at the end put a nail in it lol.

 

[Kotin]

Why is there a man dancing like that round the logo?? So lame.

 

[givemeliberty2010]

I wish there was a decent candidate for the general election with more campaigning sense than Gary Johnson. Sadly, he will be my only option. I will abide his antics, but he's not going to get into the debates acting like this.

IDK. Freedom to be a complete tweaker?

IDK. Freedom to be a complete tweaker?

Freedom to SEIZE THE MOMENT, GO FOR IT, JUST DO IT...without giving a shit about all the people who say YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG?

 

[cheapseats]

Wow that was pretty terrible. Dancing hippie guy at the end put a nail in it lol.

See, and I thought Rand Paul's embarrassingly self-involved, conspicuous waste-of-time video on WHY I AM CALLED RAND put a nail in his fledgling senatorial bid, yet he WON.

Just goes to show, ya just never know.

 

[Keith and stuff]

I thought it was good until the last 10 seconds. If it was edited down to a 45 second ad, I think it would be fantastic.
