This has got to be one of the strangest political ads I've ever seen.

what about the one where Lyndon B. Johnson is singing "It's Just My Hunch" naked in a shower while the world explodes behind him

i suddenly understand why nixon won

Klinotaxis · 2016-08-04 01:26:39

i mainly know the daisy ad from the fatboy slim song

Nixon's attack ads on Humphrey looked like this

Klinotaxis · 2016-08-04 15:03:02

so you're saying they had a surrealism battle

is he like... blaming him for vietnam though? i get the DNC bit but really...?

The idea is that when you don't actually make any claims, just use the magic of montage, nobody can fact check you or dispute it.

I think Nixon was still bitter over the 1960 election, when he ran with this

And Kennedy kicked his ass with this

based on those two ads alone, i would have voted for nixon.

glennmagusharvey · 2016-08-05 20:08:34

did Spiro Agnew have Spiro Power?

glennmagusharvey · 2016-08-05 20:08:39

was he Spiro the Dragon?

glennmagusharvey · 2016-08-05 20:08:54

ITT: GMH is a commie who doesn't want a man who's old enough to know and young enough to do.

his name is an anagram of "grow a penis".

(also "grow a spine" but that isn't as funny.)

nah, i'd say "grow a spine" is funnier since "penisless" is not a common insult but "spineless" is

Calica · 2016-08-08 20:20:07

the funniest is how i saw it which was to say "grow a spine" and mention that spine can be anagrammed into another body part

because it makes you do the last funny bit of legwork

Spiro Agnew
