One of many fantastic spoofs this election season.

Because this year’s election couldn’t get any weirder, song spoofer extraordinaire Weird Al autotuned his own version of the third presidential debate. The song, aptly called “Bad Hombres, Nasty Women,” was released by Schmoyoho, a Youtube channel that mostly features autotuned songs and videos. In the video, Weird Al acts as the moderator, posing “questions” to the candidates, and then autotuning and mixing the answers they actually gave at the debate itself. Check it out below:

While the answers were just autotuned versions of the ones that Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton and Republican nominee Donald Trump said at the actual debate on Wednesday night, Weird Al’s questions, were, of course, facetious. Weird Al asked if they would thumb wrestle Vladimir Putin–whose name obviously came up a lot on Wednesday. He also asked the candidates about their Supreme Court plans, noting that he would not be in the running–which is unfortunate if you were looking forward to autotuned and spoofed judicial decisions. In true rhyming fashion, other questions from Weird Al included: “can everyone achieve the American dream?” and “should they sign up for my Ponzi scheme?”

This, of course, isn’t the first fantastic spoof to come out of the exhausting debates between the two candidates. Bad Lip Reading did a very solid rendition of the first debate:

And of course, everyone has loved “Saturday Night Live’s” version of the debates, starring Kate McKinnon as Hillary Clinton, and Alec Baldwin as a fantastic Donald Trump:

While this election cycle might feel like it’s never-ending, at least there are plenty of funny things to watch.

Bad Lip Reading Takes on Latest Democratic Debate https://legacy.lawstreetmedia.com/elections/bad-lip-reading-takes-on-latest-democratic-debate/ https://legacy.lawstreetmedia.com/elections/bad-lip-reading-takes-on-latest-democratic-debate/#respond Sun, 24 Apr 2016 15:46:59 +0000 http://lawstreetmedia.com/?p=52041

The latest spoof of Clinton and Sanders is fantastic.

Bad Lip Reading features one of the simplest yet most entertaining concepts on the internet. A Youtube channel run by an anonymous creator, it takes videos of celebrities, politicians, and movie trailers and dubs in ridiculous things for the speakers to say. Bad Lip Reading has long been spoofing this year’s crazy cast of presidential candidates, but its rendition of Bernie Sanders’ and Hillary Clinton’s last debate in New York is one of the best yet. Check it out below:

One of the highlights is when Bad Lip Reading graduates from just dubbing in silly things for Sanders and Clinton to say, and moves on to spoofing Sanders’ hand motions as well, by having him play a game of charades called “Time to Act.” Prompts included “you ask the waiter for the check” “you see a bee” “prostate exam” “timid Napoleon” and “your hand is a baby bird, your fingers are the beak.”

In the spot, which features more Sanders than Clinton (perhaps because of his more characteristic charisma and hand gestures) the Vermont Senator also takes a break from the debate to sing a quick song, “Why is it creepy to juggle in bed? When God gave us hands, and God gave us balls, and God gave us beds?”

Bad Lip Reading has certainly been having plenty of fun this election cycle, like with this interpretation of Republican hopeful Ted Cruz’s words:

Or this nonsensical version of the first Republican debate back in the summer of 2015:


As the primary contests yield nominees who will inevitably face off many times  before the general election, Bad Lip Reading will probably have even more fantastic fodder. I, for one, can’t wait.
