Wow. Beautiful spot, beautifully shot…like a little tongue in cheek horror movie. If this was a local or regional ad agency’s work, they are going to be getting a lot more business.
LOL…someone hasn’t been taking care of his marital duties like he should. Shut up about the “Messicans” and “moochers”, dude, and lay some pipe.
“The wife of a Texas county commissioner begs viewers to re-elect her issues-obsessed husband.”
Issues-obsessed?
I thought he was a Republican…
That meat looks medium-well. If that’s (beef) steak, doesn’t that disqualify you for office and polite company in Texas?
It’s different—he doesn’t shoot anything—and it’s clever. Maybe he really is like that. But even if everyone involved is an amateur, it’s all a well-presented performance. Not sure “charming” is the word. Cute, I’d call it.
It’s a lucky pol who has a mate with a good sense of humor.
Coulda been marinated tofu, for all I could tell.
There’s a scandal!
Exactly what I was thinking when I saw it the other day.
Wow, I’d almost consider voting for the guy. He’s obviously anal, but must have a sense of humor about it…
Ya know, I’m as progressive as it gets, but I like the ad a lot. It humanizes him, makes a pol relatable shows he has a sense of humor, and is so much more creative than those horrible biographical ads made by hacks that we’ve been subjected to since the 1970’s.
There’s a reason this went viral. And less demonizing is good for our political dialogue . There’s so much creative advertising online these days I’m frankly surprised we don’t have more of it in political campaigns.
Great ad…and a sad reminder of when Republicans used to be human beings.
Nothing like humorous self-deprecation to win hearts and minds. Here is a guy I would vote for on the basis of the ad alone. Potholes are ideologically neutral.
Or worse yet, lamb!
Ah yes, my grandfathers GOP. Boring old fiscal conservatives. The starry eyed Democrats would say, “We want to change the world for the better!” and the boring Republicans would say, “that would be nice, but how are you going to pay for it?” Then they would all sit down and argue about it until they came up with a compromise. Like a semi disfunctional family. And it worked. Sigh…
Actually, that was my favorite part (assuming it’s true): a GOP official who’s obsessed with public policy and fixing things. If the Geralds can take back their party from the Trump and Cruz people, we might be able to return to governing. Compromises, that kind of thing.
Yes. But his wife’s wish-he-would-stop demeanor as he rattles on and on ad nauseam makes you want to vote for him without realizing (or caring that) he is a fiscal conservative.
RANGE WAR!
GAS OR ELECTRIC! (added 'cos the site said my body wasn’t “descriptive” enough).
I think it’s just been on his plate so long it’s lost it’s color.
Charlyn is a star. So funny.
Now if only Gerald wasn’t the only GOPer in America who took his job seriously.
