Remember When Maine’s Keith Carson and Todd Gutner Were in Spoof Political Attack Ads?

Here we are in another election year and soon the political ads will be coming fast and furious. Not just on TV and the radio, but also by mail. In the 2020 election year, I had six pieces of mail telling me who to vote for and who not to vote for, most of them attack ads.

The political ads on YouTube got so bad in 2020, that I subscribed to YouTube Premium just so I don't have to sit through them anymore. A lot of us are just done with political ads that do nothing but tell you how terrible the opposing candidate is.

That is until I saw this attack ad parody that is brilliant.

For the 2020 election year, News Center Maine's meteorologists Keith Carson and Todd Gutner hilariously spoofed the political attack ads in a video written by Keith himself. He posted on his Facebook page, "After watching non-stop political attack ads for the last few months I thought "You know what, I could write one of those!" And so I did."

Keith's ad opens up right out of the gate with a slam against Todd's home state of Connecticut but not to be outdone, Todd's ad comes back with questions about why Keith got booted from the Weather Channel.

It's ridiculous, funny, and ridiculously funny.

So if you're tired of hearing what evil things all the politicians are being accused of doing or accusing others of doing, this is your break from it all.

If anyone over at News Center Maine is reading this, I'd like to request Lee Goldberg vs Sharon Rose attack ads, please. I'm going to make some popcorn while I wait.
