This ad is the gift that keeps on giving.
ICYMI, here's the "Man Enough" to vote for Kamala ad that made the rounds yesterday:
I don't know what makes me laugh more in this ad, that it's filled with fake men actors pretending to be real men, or if it's the fact that the guy who produced it also worked for the most beta man in Hollywood, Jimmy Kimmel.
Bad Hombre here did the work in dissecting this ad.
As many of you know, Jimmy Kimmel's writer, Jacob Reed, directed an ad for the Kamala Harris campaign titled 'Men for Kamala.' The ad features what are presented as everyday male voters explaining why supporting Kamala Harris is the masculine thing to do.
However, none of the men in the ad are actually regular voters — they are paid actors. Moreover, their real-life circumstances differ significantly from the individuals they portray in the ad. Here are their stories:
This is so, so good.
- Wayland McQueen is a far-left, pro-Antifa comedian and actor who has, until now, found limited success. He does improv gigs at the Upright Citizens Brigade in Los Angeles. In a Twitter post from 2022, he explains what white privilege is and tells you why you need to acknowledge your white privilege. As of 2024 he is single.
They keep redefining masculinity, guys!
- Lanre Idewu is an immigrant from Nigeria. He is also an actor who works at the D.C.-based OCTET Productions. He has many intimate pictures with the Obamas and the Bidens. Idewu, who is bisexual, has done gay-for-pay movies and nude solo shoots. In the "Men for Kamala" ad, he says he is "man enough to f-ing braid his daughter's hair," but the only problem is that he doesn't have a daughter. Idewu isn't braiding anyone's hair.
A literal bisexual immigrant Democrat operative. But he couldn't play himself in the ad because, well, they've already got his actual demographic locked up. So he has to pretend to be real tough man's man.
- Mike Leffingwell, a gay man, also works at the Upright Citizens Brigade, where McQueen works. He is an acting coach, cartoon writer for Netflix and DreamWorks, and an actor in TV commercials. On his public Instagram page, he showcases his participation in his latest project — the "Men for Kamala" ad.
I love how the people who want to get Kamala elected couldn't even find enough straight dudes to put together a minute-long ad like this. They don't know any non-gay actors?
The whole point is to appeal to straight men and they couldn't even find any straight men to appear in the ad.
- Winston Carter, the heavyset fellow in the ad who claims to be a mechanic and rancher, lives in Los Angeles signed with Taft Broadcasting Company. He has found limited success in the acting world, mainly as an extra in films and as a character in the low-budget superhero film Spaghettiman.
- Tony Ketcham, the tough, rugged, bearded grandpa in his garage in the "Men for Kamala" ad, is also an actor. He now mainly does low-budget independent films like Car Botz, where he played the role of PePaw. Tony is unmarried in real life. In 2001, he played the extra role of "alcoholic consumer" in the movie Ghost World.
Oh, and it gets worse.
And they wonder why they're having a hard time appealing to men!
