Video: How about shutting your mouths, politically conscious celebrities?
posted at 4:05 pm on October 31, 2008 by Allahpundit
Via Dirty Harry’s Place, a rare example of a low-budget parody that’s twice as slick and sharp as the professional product it’s goofing on, and yet another video treat in today’s Halloween goodie bag. What can I say? It’s an embarrassment of riches.

OMG that was funny. Is there an award for Best Use of Toilet Humor?
LOLOL
RushBaby on October 31, 2008 at 4:14 PM
Shiite, I can’t vote because my favorite actor is Steve McQueen and he’s dead; no way for him to tell me to vote.
Bishop on October 31, 2008 at 4:14 PM
Man, I love it when pretentious Hollywood idiots get a finger in the eye from the “unwashed masses” who support their extravagant lifestyles.
Flyover Country on October 31, 2008 at 4:14 PM
Right in the wheelhouse! I loved it! Maybe there is hope that American’s will wake up!
Star20 on October 31, 2008 at 4:15 PM
That was hilarious!
kybowexar on October 31, 2008 at 4:15 PM
Kini, do you have any Kauai restaurant reviews? I’ll be there tomorrow for the entire week.
Woo hooooo!
Bishop on October 31, 2008 at 4:17 PM
We can register while we poop? I did not know that.
kahall on October 31, 2008 at 4:18 PM
This was funny and great!
jencab on October 31, 2008 at 4:18 PM
Ahaha.
Now that was more funny than the celebrity videos.
Enoxo on October 31, 2008 at 4:18 PM
Are you kidding. Steve McQueen is on the Voter Registration List in Ohio…and Missouri…and Florida…and Illinois…
PappaMac on October 31, 2008 at 4:18 PM
You can also vote for Obama while you poop, you just deposit your ballot into the toilet, and pull the lever for change!
Enoxo on October 31, 2008 at 4:19 PM
If he’s dead, he’s probably voting for Obama in Ohio and Pennsylvania.
Lehosh on October 31, 2008 at 4:19 PM
And Virgina, Florida, Iowa… possible Colorado and Arizona. Oh, and Nevada.
Enoxo on October 31, 2008 at 4:20 PM
Friggin hilarious. Perfect.
Sugar Land on October 31, 2008 at 4:20 PM
I wonder how many Lefties would even catch the sarcasm. It was sarcasm, right?
RedWinged Blackbird on October 31, 2008 at 4:20 PM
This was MY tip! Woo Woo!
Mr_Magoo on October 31, 2008 at 4:21 PM
Curse you work filters!!!!

I need a girlfriend soooo bad… thank goodness I only sleep with democrats, so if the polls are right it’s gonna be a good year.
Kaptain Amerika on October 31, 2008 at 4:22 PM
“Hold On” – hahahaha…cracked up from that one.
kcluva on October 31, 2008 at 4:22 PM
Heh. The I-Don’t-Know-Who-You-Ares in this video were so much more convincing and funny than the nitwit actors in the Spielberg crap vid.
Quick – somebody fire all of Hollywood. They’re not only idiots, but they aren’t very good actors, either.
Jaibones on October 31, 2008 at 4:22 PM
Ha… I laughed from the start!
Abby Adams on October 31, 2008 at 4:22 PM
I must obey! Some of my Hollywood superiors can read AND write!
stonemeister on October 31, 2008 at 4:22 PM
No wonder I don’t have cable or an antena.
DVDs and old movies are for me.
Love Bob Hope calling Democrats Zombies.
Greatest movie line ever…
The Rock on October 31, 2008 at 4:23 PM
Is there anything celebrities don’t know?
Akzed on October 31, 2008 at 4:25 PM
The girl at 1:02 is HOT. Daaaamn.
nickj116 on October 31, 2008 at 4:26 PM
“They read lines for a living.”
LMAO!!
nickj116 on October 31, 2008 at 4:27 PM
Should she shut up too?
SnarkVader on October 31, 2008 at 4:28 PM
I loved Kauai; don’t bother eating in Lihue, though. Better restaurants in Kapaa or Poipu. Scotty’s Beachside Barbecue, Wahoo Seafood Bar & Grill, Lemon Grass, and Kauai Hula Girl Bar and Grill in Kapaa were all excellent, and The Beach House or Brennecke’s Beach Broiler in Poipu were also great (don’t bother with reservations at the Beach House; ask to be seated in the lounge. Same menu, awesome view at sunset, and the best mojito ever, the Maori Mojito!). And wherever you find one, Lappert’s Ice Cream is great stuff.
Frozen Tex on October 31, 2008 at 4:29 PM
Damit! Youtube always stalls halfway thru!
redshirt on October 31, 2008 at 4:29 PM
Yuck. Should have been one minute long not 3:38.
hepcat on October 31, 2008 at 4:29 PM
A little on the long side, but I thought it rocked overall.
Christine on October 31, 2008 at 4:29 PM
LOLOL,…
christene on October 31, 2008 at 4:30 PM
WasMaria Conchita Alonso in one of those pretentious Hollywood telling people to vote videos?
Topsecretk9 on October 31, 2008 at 4:30 PM
Hahaha… I watched it three times in a row now. I think it gets funnier each time.
Spiderman! “Ah, I wish I was Kirsten Dunst in that scene… (dreamy eyes)”
Abby Adams on October 31, 2008 at 4:31 PM
Awesome.
In the spirit of Lewis Black I offer the following……
If yu are going to vote because an actor told you to….go shoot yourself because your an idiot.
RobertInAustin on October 31, 2008 at 4:31 PM
video of the year! perfect use of sarcasm
libertytexan on October 31, 2008 at 4:31 PM
Patricia Heaton gets a pass?
Grow Fins on October 31, 2008 at 4:36 PM
I love the way they have accented on
‘there from Hollywood’!
‘There so beautiful’!hahahha:)
canopfor on October 31, 2008 at 4:37 PM
That was brilliant.
The ironic sarcasm, which basically says, “Hey Actors, we don’t look to you for political advice, let alone anything.”
iamse7en on October 31, 2008 at 4:41 PM
I love everyone involved with this project and wish to have their babies.
Liberty Girl on October 31, 2008 at 4:42 PM
That was the best thing I’ve seen all week.
Dorvillian on October 31, 2008 at 4:42 PM
Patricia Heaton gets a pass?
Grow Fins on Oct 31,2008 at 4:36PM.
Grow Fins: Yes,she gets a pass, because she can think on
her own and is not a lock-stepped mind-numbed
Hopey/Changey talking point worshipping at the
alter of Obama’s “SOCIALISM”!
canopfor on October 31, 2008 at 4:43 PM
Yes. She’s intelligent, conservative and one of us.
ManlyRash on October 31, 2008 at 4:43 PM
Yep. So should Jon Voight, and ANY and ALL actors and musicians who use their fame to spew out their endorsements. Really, we don’t care. Shut up and sing/act. We’ll all just get along just fine then.
I can no longer listen to Bruce Springsteen’s music, since he has infected his work with his political views. I am on the edge with John Fogerty, but he keeps a much tighter rein on his public opinions. And I have all but given up on going to movies.
Mallard T. Drake on October 31, 2008 at 4:46 PM
They’re right on target with their sarcasm and disdain but they just took to long making the point.
rplat on October 31, 2008 at 4:57 PM
This is, like, pure unadulterated total awesomeness! I give it a 9 out of 10, one click shy of HOLLYWOOD BLOCKBUSTER due to lack of a great closer:
“I’m John McCain and I, like, totally approve of this message”
Sailfish on October 31, 2008 at 4:58 PM
Bishop, no trip to Kauai is complete without a Poipu Dog. They’re in the mall down the road from Poipu, just west of Koloa. Avoid the Italian place in Koloa – horrible food and service. I avoid both Lihue and Kapaa because they’re just too crowded for my taste. The West Side is glorious – very quiet and no crowds.
If you like to snorkel, I recommend the beach next to Brennecke’s at low tide.
I love Kauai, I’d leave the cesspool known as Minnesota in a heartbeat to move there if I could!
Blue-eyed Infidel on October 31, 2008 at 5:01 PM
Celebs should stick to what they’re good at. Living in a fantasy world of make believe.
As for Kaua’i, have fun there. It’s been a few years since I’ve been there, but the North Shore Princeville resort hotel is good, Dukes in Po’ipo, Cafe’ Coco is interesting, lots of good eats there on that Island.
Kini on October 31, 2008 at 5:05 PM
Dittos on the Italian restaurants anywhere in Hawai’i. I have yet to find one, even a pizza joint, that can match a good New Jersey or Philadelphia Italian eatery.
Just stay away from the timeshare sellers. They are obnoxious to the extreme.
Kini on October 31, 2008 at 5:09 PM
They’re so vain…
… they probably think it’s sincere!
drunyan8315 on October 31, 2008 at 5:17 PM
I’ll take my political cues from celebrities the same day I take my environmental cues from Al Gore.
anniekc on October 31, 2008 at 5:21 PM
And in other news…
Former “One Day at Time” television star Mackenzie Phillips pleaded guilty to cocaine possession on Friday and was ordered into another drug rehab program.
Phillips, 48, thanked police for arresting her at Los Angeles International Airport in August, saying “they saved my life” in an address to Friday’s court hearing.
Mr_Magoo on October 31, 2008 at 5:23 PM
I`m so glad someone did a video on these idiots. ..for years they`ve been convinced that they know better than anyone else whats best for us..wow ..look at their lives and tell me why we should be interested in what they think.Kiss off Hollywood..I`ll make up my own mind, and you can read from a script what you`re suppose to say….and apparently what to think!
Lou on October 31, 2008 at 5:30 PM
as I look out my window at the Hollywood sign I can’t help but chuckle…I SO, like, wish I could’ve been a part of that, ya know? fer sure…
Biffstir on October 31, 2008 at 5:30 PM
I had to laugh at my friend, who’s a democrat, who told me the first one was non partisan.
scrubbiedude on October 31, 2008 at 5:41 PM
You know whats funny? Those Hollywood types actually believe they are special and don’t get the sarcasm of that vid.
Bwahahahahahaha!!!
csdeven on October 31, 2008 at 5:45 PM
Nice.
The dirty version of “fornicate,” I shaggin’ love it. That’s the Queen’s english version of fornicate. Would The One be proud? I know at least 3 translations of the same word.
jdsmith0021 on October 31, 2008 at 6:09 PM
So does Barack.
cannonball on October 31, 2008 at 6:09 PM
Everybody sing…
They’re so vain.
I bet they think this vid is about them.
cannonball on October 31, 2008 at 6:10 PM
Hollywood: Shut up and entertain me.
Dance for my amusement, monkeys, DANCE!
Black Adam has spoken.
Black Adam on October 31, 2008 at 6:13 PM
Good stuff. Well done.
29Victor on October 31, 2008 at 6:22 PM
“Best looking….”
3:34 “In all of the whooolle wiiide world.”
LOL
Actors – FTMP condescending jerks. LOVE this vid.
inviolet on October 31, 2008 at 6:32 PM
Frozen Tex and Kini.
Thanks for your advice.
At this time tomorrow I’ll be getting in my rented jeep and heading for the hotel.
Bishop on October 31, 2008 at 6:49 PM
The guy putting his hand over his mouth and giggling…I actually LOL’d. FWIW, the blonde, and the brunette with short hair were rather good looking. The brunette reminds me of my new gal, only she has brown eyes…and is even cuter. ( ^5 for the beta male! )
bikermailman on October 31, 2008 at 7:01 PM
Now I’ll have something to send back to people when I’m sent that stooopid “Five More” one! LOL!

You can also see what Barack Obama’s policies are going to leave you with, while on the toilet.
HornetSting on October 31, 2008 at 8:13 PM
“They read lines. . . for a living.” This video says precisely what most people think of these celebutards when they try to act smarter than you and tell you what to think. Priceless! Simply priceless!
King of the Britons on October 31, 2008 at 8:33 PM
How dare they mock the important work those Hollywood actors did in convincing us uneducated rubes that we should vote?
/sarc
VanPalin on October 31, 2008 at 8:54 PM
That was pretty good (a little long though)… The couple hot chicks made it all okay, though.
RightWinged on October 31, 2008 at 9:34 PM
“True stories of hard-working little people…
AS TOLD BY RICH, FAMOUS HOLLYWOOD STARS!!!”
Waiter, there’s some hoi in my polloi!
profitsbeard on October 31, 2008 at 10:22 PM
That was great! And I didn’t even watch the whole original ad. Love it when Hollywood gets knocked down a peg or 2.
4shoes on November 1, 2008 at 12:54 AM
…the parody spiked its sarcasm at about 3:00 minutes…and just went on….
…and I’ll bet that the guys in the ad they’re parodying wouldn’t even know that they’re being sarcastic….
…”Hey, Harrison…they think we’re smart!”….
Puritan1648 on November 1, 2008 at 12:56 AM
I can’t say much. I worked for a famous man. He was wonderful. Him and his wife would land me jobs to serve at parties. My ex boss was a famous Record Producer. The people I met made me think more about myself. Most of them are shallow people. They are in love with themselves. Without their makeup on they are not that pretty either. Most of them are vile, selfish and not happy with what they have. That is a shame. Never enough. They can have BO. They can make him a star after he loses this election.
sheebe on November 1, 2008 at 4:03 AM
Actors.. is there anything they don’t know?
DaveC on November 1, 2008 at 8:53 AM
I guess the anti-Hollywood crowd knows how to score a few cheap points. I don’t see what is wrong with the first video. It’s an approach to get people to vote.
mycowardice on November 1, 2008 at 11:54 AM
While I don’t take advice from entertainers, at least Alonso presented her argument in a thoughtful and logical way based on her experiences living in places that embrace the type of socialism Obambi is pushing instead of just spew hyperbole (e.g., Obama is the anti-christ, etc) like the Hollywood lefties and their ilk say about McCain and Palin!
Again, Alonso makes a clear and logical argument for why she is voting for McCain without resorting to hyperbole, below is her quote, emphasis mine:
We need a leader who can bring about the right kind of change, and John McCain has the experience and judgment necessary to lead us in these uncertain times,” Alonso said. “I grew up in Cuba and Venezuela, and I am appalled that Barack Obama apparently wants to emulate the “spread the wealth” economic policies of those countries and negotiate with their leaders. For me the choice is clear.”
