Trump Addicts of America
The setup
The premise
Here’s the bit.
Styled like a solemn campaign spot, the ad opens with voters praising Joe Biden before each one confesses a private fear: without Donald Trump, they will have nothing to talk about, argue about or send to their friends. One after another they list his outrages as a kind of entertainment, compare him to a favorite villain and fret about the fate of cable pundits. The commercial closes with a tagline from the fictional group Trump Addicts of America, which frames the habit as a harmful one that is hard to quit.
The funny people
Meet the cast. 9
Say it with us
Highly quotable.
My entire personality is hating Donald Trump.
I am really worried for Rachel Maddow.
Best-case scenario, Biden gets there by, like, year three.
Script
Automatically generated script; wording may contain errors.
- 00:01
Everyone knows this could be the most important election
- 00:04
in our nation's history.
- 00:05
And the two choices couldn't be more different.
- 00:07
Do we want four more years of Donald Trump?
- 00:10
Or a fresh start with Joe Biden?
- 00:12
Can we survive four more years of scandal,
- 00:15
name-calling, and racial division?
- 00:17
Or do we want a leader who unites the country?
- 00:20
I want to vote for Biden because he's better,
- 00:22
smarter, better, and better.
- 00:25
But I'm worried. I'm worried, too.
- 00:27
Because if Donald Trump isn't president...
- 00:30
then what are we gonna talk about?
- 00:32
Like, what would our conversations even be?
- 00:34
Because the only thing I've talked about for four years
- 00:37
is Donald Trump.
- 00:38
Every single day, I tell someone,
- 00:40
can you believe what Trump just said?
- 00:42
My entire personality is hating Donald Trump.
- 00:44
If he's gone, what am I supposed to do?
- 00:47
Focus on my kids again? No, thanks.
- 00:49
I argue with my dad every day about Trump.
- 00:52
Before this, we hadn't spoken in years.
- 00:54
I used to watch civil rights videos
- 00:56
and wonder what it would be like to live in those times.
- 00:59
Now, thanks to Trump, I get it.
- 01:01
What is the news even gonna be about now?
- 01:03
I am really worried for Rachel Maddow.
- 01:05
Like, what is she even gonna talk about?
- 01:07
And what about his tweets?
- 01:08
What am I gonna send to my friends and be like,
- 01:10
this is the craziest thing I've ever seen?
- 01:12
And then one out of every ten, I'll be like,
- 01:14
this is legit funny.
- 01:15
He's genuinely hilarious.
- 01:17
Sure, he's historically bad for the country,
- 01:19
but he gave us so much.
- 01:20
Injecting bleach in our blood.
- 01:22
Openly calling African nations holes.
- 01:24
Kids in cages wasn't even a phrase before Trump.
- 01:27
He changed the game.
- 01:28
He called the attorney general he appointed mentally retarded.
- 01:32
That's some next-level .
- 01:34
I mean, he started with an impression
- 01:35
of a disabled reporter.
- 01:37
That was the starting point.
- 01:38
Best-case scenario, Biden gets there by, like, year three.
- 01:42
That's why on November 3rd, I'll be worried.
- 01:44
About the election, sure.
- 01:46
The future of democracy or whatever.
- 01:47
But I'll really be worried
- 01:48
about my favorite villain disappearing.
- 01:50
Like if they replaced the Joker
- 01:51
with Batman's butler, Alfred.
- 01:53
Sure, Gotham would be more stable,
- 01:55
but I'd rather watch the Joker blow up a hospital.
- 01:57
And then I remembered that even if he loses,
- 02:00
Trump isn't going away.
- 02:02
Yeah, if anything, he's gonna get more vocal.
- 02:04
And angrier. And crazier.
- 02:06
And with all his crimes,
- 02:08
there's bound to be a trial at some point,
- 02:10
and maybe Trump will represent himself in court.
- 02:13
Okay, I got to stop getting my hopes up.
- 02:15
And then, who knows, maybe Donald and Ivanka
- 02:17
will run together in 2024.
- 02:19
Ah, what is wrong with you?
- 02:20
Bro, I was just throwing it out there.
- 02:22
Now it's gonna happen, and I'm gonna hate you for it.
- 02:23
Would be hilarious, though.
- 02:25
Paid for by Trump Addicts of America.
- 02:28
You know he's bad for you,
- 02:29
but it's hard to imagine life without him.

One more couldn’t hurt.
