Worst (But Funniest) Campaign Video Ever: ‘Iller’

Published



This year’s midterm campaign season still has over three months to run but I think it has already left a legacy in the form of a video that will rank in the annals of politics as not only the worst of all time but also as the funniest although the latter honor is entirely unintentional. It was produced by Campus Progress which claims to be “nonpartisan” although it obviously wants young people who voted in 2008 for Obama to return to the polls this year to vote to keep the Big Government philosophy in power by voting for Democrats. The campaign video simultaneously strives for the vampire/zombie Twilight Saga theme. In fact the hilariously bad video with the dopey name “Iller” (“Chiller” minus the “Ch”) could be retitled, “The Twilight Saga: Iller” since that is what the producers seem to be striving for. Oh, and the producers are also hoping to motivate young people to go out and vote in November but that seems hard to believe when watching this Hindenburg crash of all campaign videos.

Should you doubt that Campus Progress was seriously attempting to motivate young people I bring you their the words from their website of producer Sara Haile-Mariam:
