Republican comedy isn't just limited to hilarious slogans like "Lord, I Apologize," "Git'R Dun", and "Mission Accomplished."
No, on occasion, the GOP will tap a brilliant comedic mind like, say, the director of Scary Movies 3-5 to give their party the edge that only hackneyed slapstick gags and cartoonish Madeleine Albright and North Korean dictator impersonators can provide:
That made Mad TV look genius.
Evidently someone at the Republican party saw this ad, decided that no sense of humor was better than a really bad sense of humor, and persuaded the party not to use it.

That video really made me think, you know? All this time I thought that satire was supposed to be entertaining––funny, even. But it turns out satire can just be a list of fears read in a mock-enthusiastic voice!
Why take the time to come up with some funny, absurdist answers to the question "What if Congress had a Democratic majority?" When you could just repeat a real-life Republican fear like,"They could repeal the Patriot Act." Ugh.
Also, the topical humor here is top-notch. Two years later, and that Howard Dean joke still has them rolling in the aisles!
