Here is the video that gave me the idea. From Rick Perry.

It is called "Strong" and if you are not laughing you'll be crying

Now here is Jesus' Response

I think the first one is sio funny that it needs nothing more. Even Jesus can not make it funnier.

 Now this take from Letterman of Cain's smoking commercial.

i love how rick perry is wearing the jacket that heath ledgers character wore in 'brokeback mountain'....

you couldn't have scripted that one better!!

Here an ad from John Huntsman,

This Ron Paul Video is pretty hilarious.  I mean using China as a model of Libertarian prinicples to explain thier success, while blaming governement control for the failures of the USA.

I love how a giant photo of the great Libertarian Chairmen Mao hangs behind the professor.

Here Ron latest funniest commercial.

Would you vote for a shitshu?   That is shitshu with 2 S's

Parody of Rick Perry's "Strong" video with Rabbi Jason Miller.

It seems that Rick Perry's ad is not only funny, but lends itself to parody.

Check out this Christian parody.

I am looking for a Muslim, Shikh and Hindu  parodies of Strong, but in the mean time Atheists are naturally all over this with hilarious results.  Here are just two.

Michele Bachmann is so funny she does not need to make her own comdey videos. Here is a  collection of her stand up act from various TV shows.

Newt wants to abolish child labour laws so that "poor" children under 14 can work. He  says unlike rich kids, the poor kids need to learn a work ethic, and thus would learn more from cleaning schools that other kids attend.

So just in time for Christmas we have this funny video

Such a humourist this newt.

ROTFLMAO!!!

that jacket one?? CLASSIC!!!

American's are famous for their political attack ads. In fact one could say they are the Saudi Arabia of attack ads..

Mostly boring and dishonest, few could be considered funny. Howevr this extreme right wing attack ad uses humour to go after Newt. The same leftist who wants to abolish child labour laws so they can learn how to show up for work, instead of learning to read.  

The whole idea that he is a closet liberal  is funny in itself.

No matter where I look there is no proof, that Mitt Romney is funny, nor has he made any funny videos, or has any funny videos about him or that attack him.

Is there anything funny about Mitt?

mitt romney is just playing the game... all he has to do is keep his mouth shut while all the other candidates implode around him, and he will undoubtedly be the last one standing by the time the convention starts.

Sorta of like that TV show Survivor

Now some of the funniest ads are not for people running for President, nor even for Congress. Look at this Californian State House ad.   Just TFTBT  (Too Funny to be true)

It's a little l;ong, but you will be laughing when you see it for even longer.

Hi Alex,

Maybe.

I suspect Mitt is running with the Proverbs 17:  28 offence.

Grace and peace to you.

John

Hi Alex,

If you want funny material for Mitt Romney you need to comb through the Daily Show or the Colbert Report.

Grace and peace to you. 

John

This ad is for a "Conservative Christian, and a pretty fair shot" who ran for Congress.

Actually anyone with a machine gun is a pretty fair shot.

Dale Peterson, the world's most famous candidate for Alabama Ag Commissioner, makes his endorsement!

This first one is hilarious.  I may not be Rick Perry, but I certainly approve this message.

Alabama seems to have the funniest people in the USA. This is an attack ad against a candidate for Governor

giggle and giggle

Rick Barber, running for Congress in a GOP primary runoff in Alabama's 2nd District July 13th, meets with three very important people to discuss the evils of the progressive income tax and its intersection with health care.

Who can forget the fabulous Ad by the Republican candidate for Senate in the last election, and her I am not a Witch ad. This video is actually the firast time that I have seen a parody tun out to be better than the original.

I'm Not a Witch set to Dance music.

I would actually vote for a witch, if the Wondercafe witch was running for office. Wouldn't you?

Well it seems Rick Santorium has risen in the political polls and could win the Iowa caucuses.  Now you might know about his google problem. It is a funny story, and if you google Santorium you will see his problem.

So here is a funny video from the man that created Santorium's google problem.  Very funny indeed.

I can not embed it but here is 

Dan Savage's New Threat to Rick Santorum

Thanks for these, Alex -- QED that participatory democracy is alive and well.  Life as MASH-UP...show them cynical & pessimistic old worlders how behind the times they truly are :3

My favourite is the Demon Sheep/Furry one :3

Man, there is no reason for the ``Freak ticket`` anymore.

I'm a big fan of the Daily Show and the Colbert Report, and political humour in general.  Sometimes we just need to laugh at how absurd it all is. It's serious stuff...but if  we get bogged down by it it's debilitating.

Thanks for this thread Alex. I don't know how I missed it until tonight.

Me either kimmio...thanks alex

I thought the Herman Cain ad was hilarious without any jokes attached. The first time I saw it, played in it's entirety on the news, it was a "What!? HAHAhahaha..lololol!" moment. Funny stuff. I'm laughing just thinking about it.

I think I find this stuff more scary than funny. 

Yeah...the scary part is it's real--at least the original ads and comments that is. Nevertheless, it is so absurd that I have to laugh, and then I can get on with life rather than succumbing to fear. I prefer John Stewarts take on the news and politics over Fox or even CNN  any day.

Mitt Romney is a serial killer?

Mitt Romney is a Mormon!

Did you know that you can run for coroner in the US.

Now just imagine the fun you can have with attack ads!

you have to run a campaign to be a CORONER??

good grief, i am beginning to understand the reason for voter apathy in america...

coroner, sheriff, judge, da, etc   depends on the area

It seems that Stephen Colbert got 1% of the vote in the Republican Primary in South Carolina. 

This after this  anti-Colbert attack ad was run on South Carolina TV Stations. Showing us the power of atack ads. 

More from Colbert. An interview on ABCs This Week.

Evan local elections like that for county treasurer envokes passion.  It's scary but funny.

Slow Jam The News with Barack Obama: Late Night with Jimmy Fallon

Dogs are becoming an issue in the US Mitt driving to Montreal with his dog strapped to the outside roof, and Obama eating dog as a youth. 

So Obama's people made this ad for the Correspondence dinner.

Actually Obama routine at the dinner was pretty funny. (unless you are Donald Trump) So here it is.

Jimmy Kimmel was also hilarious at the dinner.(unless you are Keith Olbermann)

Here is an Obama ad. It's negative, xenophobic and basically makes fun of Mit Romeny's singing. It's the singing that is funny.

Actually it's hilarious and I can imagine a whole new type of political attack ads

Here a pic that someone put out on Facebook, that is having more impact than anti Romney ads. Supposedly a freudian slip picture of his grandchildren with the M and ther O being reversed. It';s funny
