JibJab's Time For Campaignin'

Posted by Dominic von Riedemann Jul 16, 2008

I've always been a fan of the Spiridellis brothers, AKA JibJab, for their equal-opportunity opprobriums. Unlike South Park's Trey Parker and Matt Stone, who don't hide their Libertarian/Republican beliefs under their potty humour, the Spiridellis's take shots and everyone and everything, left, right, smart, cuckoo . . . I like to see my satirists rip on all comers, not giving one side or another a break.

This time the JibJab gang are turning Bob Dylan's classic "The Times They Are a-Changing" and turning it into "Time For Some Campaigning." They not only hammer the outgoing George W. Bush, but the Clintons (gotta love Hilary's reaction when Bill sings the word "cigar'!), along with presidential nominees John McCain and Barack Obama. Whether it's McCain driving a tank, or Obama riding a unicorn, the Spiridellis' spoofs are always on the money. You can check it out by clicking here.

Yes, we're all happy to see the last of the Reign of Dubya, but I can see countless comedians, satirists and commentators going into mourning right about now . . .

Ah, who am I kidding, "Ding-dong, the dumbass is . . ."
