"Reno 911!" stars get political; stay goofy

| | Comments (0)

“Reno 911’s” Thomas Lennon and Ben Garant have created a series of spots featuring boorish wealthy white men – who collectively go by the moniker “The Man” – imploring young people not to vote (this one's the best of the lot). It’s actually part of “Declare Yourself,” an initiative developed by Norman Lear to encourage young people to register to vote.

But, wait … they just said not to vote. Lennon and Garant have a lot of faith in 18-year-olds’ senses of irony. Because how many of them do you think might say, “Cool – rich dudes actually like me.” And what about the teens who would vote the same way The Man would? Shouldn’t they set up a counter-site for them?
