  • As an English person who has never been to the USA, this video entirely sums up how I see America.
  • it'd be easier for me to believe these were SNL sketches
  • @nuru0nuru
    I mistakenly thought "best" and "worst" were going to be separate categories.
  • You can accuse the GOP of a lot of things, but you can't accuse them of not being creative. The KKK and the desert gunfight videos were hilarious
  • @Sara88890
    Imagine having "angry democrat in Klan hood" as part of your acting resume.
  • The clan hoods one was pretty epic not gonna lie 😂
  • There’s no way that’s not satire 💀💀
  • I love how all of these people are all unmistakably GOP candidates.
  • "No step too high for a high stepper" had me creasing. Too funny.
  • @NewDealChief
    I love the first one tbh. It's just an old woman running for office and trying to connect to voters. Genuinely wholesome ad right there.
  • i don’t believe america is a real country with real people
  • If I wasn't American, I would totally understand why everyone is scared of us.
  • Never change America, always giving the rest of the world a Good laugh 😂
  • "Rappers showing guns, drugs and violence in their music videos are ruining our kids perception of good and evil in our society" meanwhile American political campaign videos show more guns than the average European countries army own
  • If you're wondering Linda Paulson: Lost to incumbent Karen Mayne, gathered 42% of the vote and lost by over 3000 votes. JD Vance: Won the Republican primary with 32% of the vote, defeated Tim Ryan with 53% of the vote, currently serving as the Junior Senator for Ohio. Kandiss Taylor: Came in 3rd of the Georgia Gubernatorial Republican Primary with only 3% of the vote, never conceded and claimed the election was rigged. Blake Masters: Won the Republican Primary for US Senate for Arizona, beating Jim Lamon, lost in the General Election to Incumbent Mark Kelly. Jerone Davison: Lost the Republican Primary for Arizona's 4th Congressional District. Jim Lamon: Placed 3rd in the Republican Primary for US Senate, lost to eventual Primary winner Blake Masters Kay Ivey: Won her reelection campaign for Alabama Governor with 67.4% of the vote, has been in the role since 2017.
  • I love being an American, but sometimes I can't help but feel completely embarrassed when other nations are made aware of our many bizarre quirks
  • I like how the video stringed togther a bunch of videos that could be seen as "best" and "worst" and allowed the viewer to decide for themselves which ones fit into each category. There was definately some cringe, but also some creativity.
