Driving my wife to work today I had an epiphany, it had us screaming in laughter. It was such a relief of pent up anguish, the release was great. I think we all could feel the same.

UK had Brexit but the US is suffering through a billion dollars of political ads by one candidate alone. I'VE HAD ENOUGH.
The game changer is hysterically funny political candidate ads.
followed by "I approve the shit out of this thing".
Hire Colbert, Mahre and the Geico ad men and let them loose.

Then we elect the funniest. It worked for Ukraine.
Several billion dollars of funny would put this country in a much better mood. Even for folks entertained by Donald's comedic antics love funny and laughter. Those candidates running dry ads would have to compete with the funny ones. The Republicans criticizing laughter woukd be funny too.

You just showed us proof how important jokes are.
Humor is funniest when true. This is something Democrats are better at.
I am at low tide and can not create for another 2 weeks.
Anyway others are better commercial writers than me.

I suspect satire can be counter productive. If you have a favourite on the political spectrum, just see how funny satire aimed at them is............

I thought of commercials that are already very popular and funny and reworking them to support/buy a candidate. When ever either version of the funny commercial played an association would be made. More bang for your buck.

A sense of humor would be portrayed as a healthy freindly thing.

Satire doesn't work. Not here anyway.

Jingles and phrases of the funniest historic ads have already etched themselves on our brain.

There have been ads for Trump with bikers displaying Trumpy bear teddy bears on the handle bars
and Chia pet Trump heads for $19.99

I don't like it but we are in the reality show century.
The absurdity of the 20th century was worse.
Until our species lightens up with more laughter
we might not get another century.

This is why Andy Borowitz is so popular in The New Yorker. He has to make it clear that his pieces aren't the news because they come so close to what is actually happening around tRump.

Works for me, I'm male and a Hack.

It would be fun for folks to anticipate campaign ads like they do for super bowl ads
