A VERY GOOD USE OF YOUR TIME.

The setup

A mock election ad in which anxious Biden voters admit they dread a world where Trump is no longer in the headlines.

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.

  1. 00:01

    Everyone knows this could be the most important election

  2. 00:04

    in our nation's history.

  3. 00:05

    And the two choices couldn't be more different.

  4. 00:07

    Do we want four more years of Donald Trump?

  5. 00:10

    Or a fresh start with Joe Biden?

  6. 00:12

    Can we survive four more years of scandal,

  7. 00:15

    name-calling, and racial division?

  8. 00:17

    Or do we want a leader who unites the country?

  9. 00:20

    I want to vote for Biden because he's better,

  10. 00:22

    smarter, better, and better.

  11. 00:25

    But I'm worried. I'm worried, too.

  12. 00:27

    Because if Donald Trump isn't president...

  13. 00:30

    then what are we gonna talk about?

  14. 00:32

    Like, what would our conversations even be?

  15. 00:34

    Because the only thing I've talked about for four years

  16. 00:37

    is Donald Trump.

  17. 00:38

    Every single day, I tell someone,

  18. 00:40

    can you believe what Trump just said?

  19. 00:42

    My entire personality is hating Donald Trump.

  20. 00:44

    If he's gone, what am I supposed to do?

  21. 00:47

    Focus on my kids again? No, thanks.

  22. 00:49

    I argue with my dad every day about Trump.

  23. 00:52

    Before this, we hadn't spoken in years.

  24. 00:54

    I used to watch civil rights videos

  25. 00:56

    and wonder what it would be like to live in those times.

  26. 00:59

    Now, thanks to Trump, I get it.

  27. 01:01

    What is the news even gonna be about now?

  28. 01:03

    I am really worried for Rachel Maddow.

  29. 01:05

    Like, what is she even gonna talk about?

  30. 01:07

    And what about his tweets?

  31. 01:08

    What am I gonna send to my friends and be like,

  32. 01:10

    this is the craziest thing I've ever seen?

  33. 01:12

    And then one out of every ten, I'll be like,

  34. 01:14

    this is legit funny.

  35. 01:15

    He's genuinely hilarious.

  36. 01:17

    Sure, he's historically bad for the country,

  37. 01:19

    but he gave us so much.

  38. 01:20

    Injecting bleach in our blood.

  39. 01:22

    Openly calling African nations holes.

  40. 01:24

    Kids in cages wasn't even a phrase before Trump.

  41. 01:27

    He changed the game.

  42. 01:28

    He called the attorney general he appointed mentally retarded.

  43. 01:32

    That's some next-level .

  44. 01:34

    I mean, he started with an impression

  45. 01:35

    of a disabled reporter.

  46. 01:37

    That was the starting point.

  47. 01:38

    Best-case scenario, Biden gets there by, like, year three.

  48. 01:42

    That's why on November 3rd, I'll be worried.

  49. 01:44

    About the election, sure.

  50. 01:46

    The future of democracy or whatever.

  51. 01:47

    But I'll really be worried

  52. 01:48

    about my favorite villain disappearing.

  53. 01:50

    Like if they replaced the Joker

  54. 01:51

    with Batman's butler, Alfred.

  55. 01:53

    Sure, Gotham would be more stable,

  56. 01:55

    but I'd rather watch the Joker blow up a hospital.

  57. 01:57

    And then I remembered that even if he loses,

  58. 02:00

    Trump isn't going away.

  59. 02:02

    Yeah, if anything, he's gonna get more vocal.

  60. 02:04

    And angrier. And crazier.

  61. 02:06

    And with all his crimes,

  62. 02:08

    there's bound to be a trial at some point,

  63. 02:10

    and maybe Trump will represent himself in court.

  64. 02:13

    Okay, I got to stop getting my hopes up.

  65. 02:15

    And then, who knows, maybe Donald and Ivanka

  66. 02:17

    will run together in 2024.

  67. 02:19

    Ah, what is wrong with you?

  68. 02:20

    Bro, I was just throwing it out there.

  69. 02:22

    Now it's gonna happen, and I'm gonna hate you for it.

  70. 02:23

    Would be hilarious, though.

  71. 02:25

    Paid for by Trump Addicts of America.

  72. 02:28

    You know he's bad for you,

  73. 02:29

    but it's hard to imagine life without him.
