So, although the Alabama ads are pretty fantastic, there are some other great ones kicking around this year.
Here's two from the race for Barbara Boxer's CA senate seat, both from Carly Fiorina, whose past accomplishments include running Hewlett Packard into the ground:

And here's Rand Paul's ad about "Kentucky Values", which is great in the context of his support for repealing the civil rights act of 1964. Guess Rand Paul thinks everyone in Kentucky is racist! Sorry!

But, who cares. I don't give a rip.

Tom missed Young Boozer (http://www.youngboozerfortreasurer.com).

YOUNG BOOZER.

Does anybody remember some of the ones from a couple of years ago? I kid you not it literally said something about another candidate supporting some kind of sex education bill that studied the sex lives of Vietnamese prostitutes. I wish i could find the add on Youtube.
-
I found it! Its worse than i thought.

I like the sinister mugshots of the guys whose masturbation habits are being studied.

Gentlemen,

Gather. Your. Armies.

I'm pretty sure that if two years ago, before the Tea Party became a thing, you'd asked this goober who the founding father of his country was, he'd have said "Jefferson Davis, wanna fight about it?"
-
I would like to see a campaign ad that concluded with "I'm So-and-so, and I don't give a rip."
-
New Dale Peterson ad!
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GabMEHfCjT0&feature=player_embedded[/youtube]
I guess he lost the primary, and has carefully weighed which of the two remaining candidates gives a rip, and gave his endorsement to that guy. And will shoot anyone who messes with signs.
-
I sort of do wish Dale Peterson were running ads in Maine.
-
My friend made this:

Dang, it's like the Jack Officers and Max Headroom got married and gave birth to a genius baby from the South.

I wonder what Forestian thinks of it?
I know you're here, pal.

Well the logic works
-
Rick Barber's NOT afraid to be rude to Abe Lincoln, and he's NOT afraid to stand up to those clowns in Washington.

Just came across this one today, too. She seems like a nice lady.

The voice over guy sounds like he should be doing a spot for a bad local steakhouse. "...And stop by our salad bar, with all the fixins"
-
I would pay $5 to see how accurate that shooting was.

Well, as a single issue voter where the only issue is my right to shoot machine guns, she has my vote.
-
Isn't that a cameo by Dale Peterson near the end of the second Rick Barber ad?
-
It definitely is. He's also in the crowd of patriots that gather about midway through.
-
I am sad now. Who will
browbeat stand up for The Fathers?

-
My new favorite line in Gather Your Armies is when Rick repeats "a tea tax" and it comes across like he thinks it was the dumbest thing to rebel over something so small.
-
A couple of years ago a senator from my state had one attack ad and it was all she needed: She accused her rival of being involved with atheistic fundraisers.

Who, Elizabeth Dole? She lost that election, so I think maybe she needed more.
I forget where, but yesterday I saw that the Dale Peterson and Rick Barber ads were both made by the same guy, along with a third equally nutty campaign for some other teabagger. Well, he's three for three: They all lost their primaries. Not that I think this signifies any special enlightenment on the voters' part, but still: [SFX: Nelson Muntz laugh]
-
That's right. I was thinking it was Kay Hagen who was running the ads against Dole.

Damn I wanted to post that.
I like that his name is actually Basil Marceaux.com. We want the real flag, the one with 3 stripes!

Here's Basil's official 135 second campaign ad.

It's Mayor Tommy Shanks!

Hey, remember how funny, clever, and well produced those Old Spice commericals were? And how they never got old or anything? Well,

So much for the sophisticated intelligence of folks up north. At least Basil Marceaux was sincere.

The best part? This is from their website:
Attention Cost-Conscious Americans!
As you probably already know, the new Stimulus Bill – known as The American Recovery & Reinvestment Act of 2009 – was signed into law on February 17, 2009. The bill extends and modifies the tax credits for qualifying products as established in the Energy Tax Policy Act of 2005.

He'd get Spike's vote!!!

Heard one on the radio this morning. It was for Tim Murphy, a guy running for reelection to the House of Representatives. It featured none other than John Ratzenberger. Cliff Clavin is now shilling for politicians.
-
I played that Sam Katz ad. For the first 20 seconds I was wondering why it was posted here. Between the last four seconds and Big Plastic Head's post, I was helpless with laughter. This almost has me wondering whether I'm a bad person.
-
More subtle work from the "I don't give a rip!" guy:

I'm very upset because I can't decide whether that ad is more racist or more sexist.
Racist... sexist... racist... sexist. I feel like Faye Dunaway in Chinatown.

I wonder who Dale Peterson's favorite member of Kiss is?
I bet it's Ace Frehley.
-
Seeing this thing makes me glad I've never met this guy (he's a Huntsvillian and I know folks who know him.)
Appalling.
-
Jason, by "this guy" do you mean Craig Huey or "Ladd Ehlinger, Jr."?
I think you should exploit your contacts to meet "Ladd Ehlinger, Jr." and pull some sort of awesome prank! Uh, not that I can think of one right off the top of my head. That's your job!

Ladd.
All the guys I know who know him are super awesome folks, (they know him professionally) so, I wouldn't want to cause trouble for them going that route. As I see it, he's doing a pretty good job of pranking himself right now anyway.

Times are hard in Texas. Outside of all the usual economic woes, there's been a nine month drought, and there are wildfires all over the place. And Rick Perry has a plan.

Why don't they mention that those mathematical equations behind the "teacher" are wrong and simply tools of Satan?

Check it out, the "don't give a rip" guy is back!" Only this time it's his wife running and she don't give a rip either!

Be sure to check out the most Cruella-DeVille-like scare-quote gesture ever put on film starting around 1:09, and don't miss Dale's skeery threat at the end!
-
I was almost with her until she started equating free reign for utility companies with being independent of special interests.
Seriously, who buys this crap? I want to say no one, but then again, I have read Yahoo! comment boards. And, with all apologies to J from H, I've also been to Alabama.
These two know how to make an ad, though. Knowing nothing about the race, I would still proffer that she has a good chance.
-
Does anything scream "I don't give a rip!" louder than this picture?

I hear that Kathy Peterson has the diaper wearing monkey vote all sewn up.
-
Nothing makes a candidate seem more sensible than a photo of them with two llamas and a macaw.
-

Well, I wasn't necessarily against her (I like a gal with spunk) until she got to “They would shut down energy (sic), kill capitalism, and get rid of people just to create their [skeery-arthritic-scarequote-fingers] perfect world [/skeery-arthritic-scarequote-fingers.]”
-
When she starts walking to toward the camera (0:25) you can hear the cameraman saying, "Oh, shit, I think she's gonna hit me!"
-
Okay, this is weird:
"Rombo" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OtOcrS6axnE#ws)
It's a Santorum ad that: 1) portrays Mitt Romney in action-hero mode; 2) portrays Rick Santorum as a two-dimensional cardboard cutout; and 3) seems designed to provide fodder for a million jokes about, uh, that thing you learn about "Santorum" if you Google it.
Sometimes the things people who are paid to come up with ideas come up with really boggle the mind.
-
I've never liked Mitt Romney as much as after watching that ad.
We've been waiting years for him to show his playful side; who knew he just needed to hire an actor to show it for him?

Gross. When you're expecting bullets to come out of a gun, it's hard to watch wet flying poop balls. "SANTORUM: HE WILL COMPEL HIS OPPONENTS TO WEAPONIZE SOFT WET POOP"

Tom missed Young Boozer (http://www.youngboozerfortreasurer.com).
In a very odd twist of fate, I recently met Young Boozer's daughter's boyfriend, though I didn't know it until later. The world comes full circle.

This, right here, is the single greatest political ad I've ever heard. Although, I suppose you'd have to be from Western PA in order to really "get" it.
