The Love Guru of Political Ads

I am firmly convinced that this is the worst ad in TV history.


Aside from the cheap-ass production values and skinflint budget that required not letting the actors talk (it costs less to hire three actors in non-speaking roles, plus a narrator, than it does to hire three actors in speaking roles)...

Aside from the fact that they hired bad actors for those non-speaking roles...

Aside from the fact that there may be no less threatening image in current North American culture than that of a bespectacled nerd holding a clipboard, and yet said nerd tries to menacingly loom over the doctor...

Aside from the recycled, discredited "Federal Health Police" joke of a meme that was last trotted out to fight the Clinton health care efforts...

Putting all that inexplicableness aside for a moment, I have just one question about the spot:

Is Tucker Carlson really so hard up for work that he'd take a job with the Federal Health Police?
