If Trump weren't so dangerously close to being the next president, his campaign would be hilarious.

Trump supporters: nowhere in this video does it suggest that you should vote for Clinton, nor that you should vote Democrat. It DOES suggest that there were much better choices for Republican candidate. So before you spout off about how this is 'leftist' and supports Hillary, try actually thinking. I know it's hard. But try.
you can not see but my hands are clapping off to you sir. Clinton and trump are not the only choice people there is always the independent tickets people their voices are never heard as loud cause people focus on these red and blue parties. and yes this here is bashing the trump for president but in all honesty people early on, thought it was a joke like Rosanne saying she wanting to be president. you did have better and ignore them til they said they were gonna have to quit. your speaker is sitting there saying he has no choice but endorse trump. I say Rubio was definite better choice. I understand why bush wasn't able to was cause the memories of his family actions both good and bad are still kicking in people heads when they were in office. you show one spot in the video where they bring up the democrats once.
+Bastion Valehart the problem is he is a joke I can honestly say that 99% of the people in my high-school hate trump and think he's an idiot rich snob
+The Last Potatoeslayer I don't support Trump, but (1) did you actually poll your entire high school to see that 99% of them don't like him, and (2) since when are high school students (most of whom can't vote) a reliable source of political opinion?
It's rhetoric, you merigold-measuring ass! :P But I'm sure the guy means 'the general cafetaria opinion is' Trump's a joke. And remember, high-schoolers aren't exactly good at being wise so if even *they* can smell the toupet glue...~
Joshua Sweetvale Exactly! Seth Moore High school kids are the kids who will be voting next election so, yes you are correct they are not the most reliable choice of political opinion. But they will be in the next election so have more faith in the next generation!

I love that movie
This sketch deserves FAR above the 1 mill views it got in 2016.
Goddamn, how this skit still lives rent-free in my head.
Best and most plausible conspiracy on CZcams.
you said it; ........ youtube.
A fine source of wisdom, facts, knowledge.
Is it sad that I had a similar theory? I thought that he is being so extreme that he is actually using reverse psychology on people
Yes, and other people did too. A lot of other folks *(mainly Democrats)* thought Donald Trup was pranking them.
In November you and those folks will be surprised. US Courts & The British people believe Trump is not a prank just read any newspaper.
Don't think a newspaper is required for that my friend.
CrapLuckSimon I was using sarcasm about the newspaper phrase. And you are 100% right.
Thanks for the back up.
These two should be in a feature-length movie about exactly this.
I would watch it.
Me too.
I could envision myself on a Friday night curling up with my 6 1/3 Persian cats and watching said movie on my rug
I have very specific dreams
JustForComments
I hope that the 1/3 is a kitten and not just 1/3 of a Persian you still keep around, while I doubt, that a cat with only 1/3 of itself remaining is still alive...I would be very disturbed (not as much as Trump actually being the top republican candidat, but still very disturbed).
I'd watch it. Pretty sure it'd play out like either Armageddon or Independence Day, tho.
I want a follow-up short with these same two guys, from 2020.
This video has gotten progressively more awkward as time passed.
Matthew Hall yup
Yeah, "awkward" has officially become "actually killing people"
3 years later: you sweet summer child
October 2020, the newest "episode" had his writters saying he has Covid
Oh... you poor poor sweet naive people from 2016. How I wish I was you again.
Michael Davaz exactly what I said when I saw this. Now I say it to you like, "oh you poor, sweet, naive people from 9 months ago... You had no idea what he had in store..."
@@firelifeblizzard8782 Oh you poor, sweet, naive people from 3 months ago... You had no idea what he had in store..
Oh you poor, sweet, naive people from the past... you have no idea what he has in store...
You are children of the times when people didn't vote in candidates with no experience. You've never known anything else. But now, Trump truly is coming.
@@squamish4244 I do no wish I was any of you the father ahead in time I am the closer to the end of his presidency we come!
Whenever a Trump supporter argues why they are voting for him, they just state how crooked Hillary is. Which she is, but why is it so hard to admit they are both terrible options?
whenever somebody protests trump they say "because he's racist". what's your point?
+Brett Reardon well when Trump says shit that is by definition racist, they have a pretty valid point.
They just use stupid buzzwords and name calling. When democrats talk about raising taxes on the rich, and better funding for education. They just shout "make America great again" blame everything on PC culture and Muslims, and then argue that they don't need to change anything about this country.
Because we've been trained by media to believe that we have to choose the lesser of two evils: democrat or republican. Most people actually believe that voting for anyone unaffiliated with the two major parties would be a "wasted vote" since it isn't likely they would win (which is true because everyone having that attitude makes it a self-fulfilling prophecy) so we just get more of the same.
I know, I'm still dying inside
I got a black mirror vibe from this
When reality is stranger than fiction. No seriously, this time it IS stranger than fiction. Even the Black Mirror kind of fiction.
See The Waldo Moment for an episode exactly like this. Some guys put a virtual character into a British election and actually win.
It's 2020. I'm still waiting for the big announcement that the whole thing was all a joke.
It's going to be so funny...
It's coming just wait till 2028 after his 2nd term...it will be so funny
@@kevinsmithfan37 @maroonking03 It's going to be sooooo funny.
@@CoCaleBelle I know it's not a great reason, but I actually want trump to win just because of this sketch.
I promise if he does and I get to the net worth I hope to reach in this crypto bull market I will reach out to cracked and said people in the sketch to turn it into an actual movie
I love their insistence that "it's gonna be so funny", gets me every time😂😂😂
that's some good comedy right there
I cried while i watched this
Even though I support trump, this is really a cool concept.
Hahahahaha, that's a good one.
Nazi pikachu, I can't tell if you're playing the part of an actual nazi pikachu or not, but either way that's pretty funny
+Nazi Pikachu oh so you support racism and bigotry. Good to know.
this video went from funny skit to horror movie pretty fast
I come back to this every year since he won. Gets funnier each time
Hope they do a follow-up.
This was so goddamned funny for a while. When he rode down the escalator to announce his campaign, that was funny. Watching serious-but-slimy Republican candidates fold one by one, that was damned funny. Watching Trump actually win the nomination accompanying the utter train-wreck that was the GOP "convention" in 2016, that was fucking hilarious. Tears were streaming down my eyes I was laughing so hard. I could swear I was watching a political party implode in real time right before my eyes.
I'm trying to remember exactly when it stopped being funny. It was around the time that Clinton's numbers started falling and his started rising. First it was a sure thing that she would win by a landslide. She had a nearly 10 point lead right after the convention. As the weeks passed, it became very likely she would win. Then it became probable she would win. Then it was neck-n-neck but hey, as long as the "firewall" in Pennsylvania holds, we still got this...
People don't even know what "politically correct" means. It's just a buzzword people use to shut down criticism. "Waah, you're not taking everything I say as gospel, you're suppressing my free speech. Only _I_ get to say what I want to say and you have to sit there and _be silent_. That's what freedom _means_."
Whenever someone uses the phrase "politically correct", I know they haven't thought about what they're saying.
Conversely, the idea that you can't have your own opinions, for the fear that they will hurt someone else's feelings, is that really so great either? There's a difference between being a bigot, being ignorant, and being labeled as a bigot for having alternative viewpoints.
Freedom of speech includes the freedom to offend.
Because people can take offence when it has not been given, and if you can stop people from saying 'offensive things', you can silence your detractors.
It doesn't matter if in your case things are different, this is a principle that deserves to be defended.
No PC means "you are being annoying and wordy. Just say what you mean already this jargon is giving me a headache". Or "reply to my idea, not how I said it".
When someone IS politically corect they aren't listening they are trying to shut someone down by addressing a random irrelevant "manners": instead of talking about the GD point.
Of course people have the right to say whatever they want. People have the right to offend and people have the right to _be_ offended. But, as this video demonstrated, "politically correct" was just used to shut someone down rather than address the point brought up.
Perhaps in your experience it has been different, but I have never in my life heard someone actually use the term "politically correct" in order to bring a conversation back on track. It has always been used (in my experience anyway) to shut down alternative view points instead of engage them. Rather than address whatever logical contradictions are present, it's used to dismiss ideas before they are considered.
I don't think there is anything wrong with someone bringing up an argument in interpretive dance, so long as it makes sense. However some people would like to have a discussion without being insulted during it (refusing to talk to someone because they kept calling you "gay" or "stupid" is not being obsessed with manners, it's refusing to be harassed).
There have always been consequences for having controversial opinions. The consequences now are often that you hurt someone's feelings _and_ people don't like you for having hurt their feelings, which is far better than being arrested for speaking your mind. Words mean things and words have impact. Some times people won’t like you for the things you say, and that’s okay.
Again, your experiences might have been different, but in _mine_ the term "politically correct" is what has been used to silence people, to prevent any objection. Everyone who responded to my initial comment appears to have been offended to some degree, but I didn't respond by calling them "politically correct" because that fails to address the points you've all made. People are allowed to be pissed and people are allowed to respond negatively. What they _cannot_ do is harass, threaten, or abuse you.
Then you certainly arent going to call anyone racist, islamophobic or sexist for disagreeing w/ your views.
Only just watched it in summer 2022. That is possibly the most surreal thing I've ever experienced.
This is funny as shit but seriously tho, these guys are really good actors.
The best. Fantastic. That I can tell you.
Cracked has the best actors, it's unbelievable how good they are. I know all the people in Hollywood, and they all tell me what great actors these guys are. such a yuuuge success, they're doing a tremendous job, I mean tremendous.
That made me feel so uncomfortable with feeling sympathy for video world trump
it was also funny as fuck and really well written.
I hit post before finishing my thought it's not a big deal.
I do agree. It is a very weird thing.
I feel really bad for this trump, he just wanted to be a part of the joke, and now he's way in over his head
I started a joke that left the whole world laughing and I couldn't see that the joke was on me
honestly the best part of the video is the end when Dan says "where going from five to six videos a week from now until the end of time" that joke is timeless
This got really dark...
I know. By the end it was just depressing
First rule of tragicomedy.
You think this was dark? Just wait until November...
*weeps*"I don't wanna be president."
dark lol this is nothing
WE NEED A PART 2!!!!
I am scared for you guys over there in the US with this dude.
Where are you and do you have a couch large enough for 300 million Americans to crash on for a while?
could be worse, it's not like a major state seceded, devaluing the dollar exponentially.
+Waltham1892 That's a long fucking couch...
noobmaster117 Its been a good week for dumb people.
+Elias Agrebi I know right 😂
@Cracked , this one of the GREATEST political sketches ever created. Honestly genius, and depressingly hysterical!
Somewhere this really all played out in real life behind the scenes of the Trump campaign...
At least everyone will lose in November!
We don't have any winners!
Just look at the bright side
Winter is coming
We have Jill Stein
Just give up already. Bernie lost and he is gonna vote for Hillary
Hillary won fair and square in the primary by nearly 4 million votes.
To run Bernie would somehow be a slap to the American people.
This is my favorite piece about presidential politics so far, ever. And I am super old.
How many people come to see this now that it seems a reality (the being elected part, not the being a joke)
omg yes
its happening!
its still gonna be funny right?
Yep
Alex Harrison in one hand there is still 101 indicators that he didn't want to be president, on the other hand we saw what happen the last time with a puppet republican president.
These guys are actually good actors
Starring Seth Rogen and James Franco
Hollywood get on that right now.
Dude, YES!
The Interview 2. make it happen.
I'd watch that movie
Seriously. This needs to be a movie.
Donald Trump will make American great again. Stop laughing. Hey, stop laughing. I'm not kidding; stop laughing.
Oh, you're serious. Let me laugh even harder
Oh my God you're actually serious😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
B8. No doubt
haha lol
He will make American great again? All of them or just one American?
umm, still waiting for the punch line, come on, jokes over now, right?
Haha, right? RIGHT?!! ... Please?
Just wait in 4-8 years this is going to be so funny...I PROMISE
infinityplus0ne
it bloody well better be worth it! if doesn't end up with trump singing "Never going to give up" whilst dressed as the rarest of Pepe's and riding Nyan cat on the White house lawn (Aka the Troll to end all Trolling, The Trollpocolyps if you will.) there will be trouble!!!
*trump weeps*
Speechwriter 1: It'll be real funny. ... real funny...
They're going for the hard-play
So many great jokes that are very subtle, Like how the two comedians' clothes become more formal over time, from just T-shirts, jeans, and sweatshirts to extremely expensive suits. In the final scene, they are drinking scotch, even though they are drinking coffee throughout the rest of the sketch. The office set it is in goes from a worn down, barren backroom, to an elaborate, enterprising campaign headquarters. That one of the comedians finds Scott Baio supporting Trump ridiculous, even with support from people on the same tack board such as Tom Brady, Hulk Hogan, Kid Rock, Willie Robertson, & Gary Busy, among others. All of which are equally as ridiculous as Scott Baio. Fantastic Work, gentlemen!
Great video. I laughed and also somehow feel ill. Please fund my move to Tibet
+Dronetek Vanderhuge Go fuck yourself
Even Dalai Lama does not live there. It is a dangerous region.
+Simran Simran Spoilers: I was joking
Isaiah D. I really didn't see that. Really. Because the first part seems to be true.
Tibet isn't really Tibet anymore.
good fucking sktech guys!! I mean this is really well put together and the shots are awesome fucking funny as all hell and a very original concept! good job
Actually this idea has been floated as potentially a real thing before, so it's not entirely an original concept. It is, however, a very funny, well done video.
Marianne Ibbotson shit thats crazy
D Rodriguez Crazy if it's true, absolutely. One of the reasons some people think it is is that before this election campaign started, Trump often expressed great admiration and fondness for Hillary Clinton. Which of course isn't, alone, nearly enough proof... politicians often vastly contradict themselves... but it does make it not entirely unfeasible that he might run to purposely screw up the Republican party's chances.
Marianne Ibbotson maybe in the beginning but at this point if it was a joke trumps probably like fuck it I guess ill do it.
D Rodriguez It'd be great if his first presidential speech started out "My fellow Americans... are you a bunch of fucking idiots!?"
These guys did an amazing job getting Trump elected.
I can't believe this is only at 1 Mill views...this might be the most under-rated, ironic and deep video Cracked ever made.
not only that, but I think this would have make for a great film. they already had 10mins in the can. if the could have come up with 75mins more I honest believe if you release this as a film say 2w after the election you would have got a ton of people watch it
Actually, it was a The Producers-style scam to make money off a flop
It's still kinda working as that, his campaign has spent tens of thousands of dollars with businesses he owns.
That would be the failed Lilith Fair Reunion Tour. Heads rolled on that one. She got a divorce and left the label over losing millions while other people scammed bags of cash for no-refund VIP tickets and backstage meet and greets.
Millions, not thousands.
Lora S.
Private appearance fees and Franchise licensing is big money. It's rarely published just how large a share an artist gets of profits of mega tours away from the stage itself. 50 large scale events at 20,000 seat venues across 48 states is a huge deal. However a label makes most of the profits first before an artists gets their share. So if a tour goes bad an artist can loose a lot of money while the label still makes money. Not to mention merchandising T-shirts, CD's, Cook Books? It all adds up to lost sales thus lost profits.
I thought that was all of congress.
I'd have sworn he was laughing on the phone. Call me crazy.
Both laughing and crying. He's mentally unstable at this point.
+Robert Davidson "at this point"
+Robert Davidson 💀
It was both, hes in on the joke after all and cant help but laugh. Laugh so hard hes crying.
you're crazy.
This would make an outstanding film
This deserves way more views, so well written and executed.
2 years later and this makes me more depressed than it should.
My morning routine consists of coffee, checking up on my football team, Reddit. I'm seriously considering unsubscribing from r/politics because of the fire hose of shit coming from this man.
I don't know why I keep ending up here. This is so surreal to watch now. I really hope this bullshit doesn't work in November. Again...
"What if Donald Trump is just an elaborate prank?"
Then it's not fucking funny.
It would be pretty funny for Hillary. Give the Americans hope on a better future with Trump, and then blow that idea up by revealing it was all a lie. It's not the first lie Hillary came up with.
This made me laugh too hard. XD
That is basically what the video posits, yes.
it would lead to chaos. how many fanatical followers does trump have and what will they think when they learn that EVERYTHING in these past months had been nothing but elaborate lie aimed as a prnak? The republicans as a party would be effectively humiliated and discredited.
Well, turns out, this prank is a lot longer than we anticipated...
This should be a full lenght horror movie...
You're living it.
Based on a true story
And it just keeps getting darker and more twisted as it goes along...
I'm ready for the credits to roll. Longest running movie, ever.
*here comes Donny*
They need to do a follow-up episode with everything that's going on now it's going to be so funny
ITS GONNE BE FUNNY THOUGH RIGHT?! ................. ITS GONNA BE SO FUNNY!......
I remember watching this being like, oh wouldn't that be funny, now I would give anything to know it was true....
Anyone else reminded of the "IT WAS FUNNY" guys from south park
Spyro Fan so it wasn't just me then
I still think this is the greatest skit Cracked has ever produced. It's so goddam funny
Don't worry, the reveal after 8 years in the White House is gonna be worth it!
HumanRights4Everyone it only took roughly a year...
Roughly 6 and a half left to go
It's going to be so funny.. so funny.. it's going to be so funny..right?
The pay off is gonna be totally worth it guys! Minimum a coupele months and max 4 years. It's it's it's gonna be funny I promise.
It's too bad Cracked got rid of its video division, the channel was so brilliant, dealt with mature subjects and was a cut above every other comedy channel. But those people have found new lives with their own channel, so great!
There are more videos from these dudes?! What’s their new channel called?
I remember watching this last year and being awed by how dark/funny it is. This really is one of Cracked's all-time best videos.
... Are you fortunetellers ?
Robert Getty Dark Truth: The Future is all jokes. Back to the Future part 2 hit so close to home by making everything a joke.
Fantastic! The quality of this channels work is on another level in comparison to anyone elses. Every episode is witty, funny, and intelligent. Kudos guys (and gals)!
"And it's gonna be funny?"
"So funny Lenny. Rabbits laughing everywhere. You can pet them and they'll laugh all day long.
So funny."
This is brilliant. It really does seem like an elaborate prank. My favorite part is at 1:20 where he says he's a little disappointed in the American people. I laughed so hard because I've thought exactly the same thing about all of this. Thanks Cracked.
was anyone else hoping this was an episode of Obsessive compulsive disorder?
Yep right here
*Obsessive Pop Culture Disorder
+Shann C but you clearly have the former.
+Shann C
I still thing DOB is voicing Trump... his sorrows does really sound like DOB's
I may not know a specific law or politics but can Donald Trump just resign?
As president or as candidate? Either way yes.
Why?
Yes...Nixon resigned.
He can. Not like he would in real life.
Not until he's conned us out of Billions of dollars. He's sleazy soulless asshole and he will take U.S. for every thing he can. Not until after he ruins our international reputation and starts a few wars and drops a few NUKES. that will be fun to watch... remember I CALLED IT!
I think about this video weekly. Pure gold.
And thus the world was burned to ash, all because of comedic hubris...
I try to consider all viewpoints but I honestly, genuinely cannot comprehend why sane people would want Trump in the white house.
At this point I think Kanye would make a better president
try taking a look at the other candidates and then see who's the crazy ones
Because Hillary Clinton is the most corrupt person ever to run for president, who will bring us more war and strip us of more of our rights. Seems pretty simple to me. I'm voting for him.
Everyone has been corrupt, including trump. Trump would be the quickest to pushing the button to wage war out of all the initial candidates
Shadow Games And Hillary and Bernie would be the quickest to pushing the button to fucking up the country
this is both comically brilliant and kinda twilight zone scary... i love the writers and staff @ cracked 💗. you ladies and gents are the bees knees🐝
I think Cracked existed with a single purpose of creating this video.
This is the best video Cracked has ever done. Great job
What if it really is a joke lol I would be like so relived on so many levels.
Hahaha I'm wishing that hopefully it's an actual joke
+Young Jesus cuz I don't have a problem with Trump I just have a problem with his supporters THEU R FUCKIN JERKS and everything they say bout Mexicans just pisses me THA fuk off
I saw this conspiracy where Hillary told Donald to run a campaign against her for her to win because we didn't really care about Donald before the election so he got hella popularity+money. But now, if the conspiracy is true, I think he thinks he can actually win this and is going rogue
At this point, if it is a joke, it's an Aristocrats joke.
Kirito April fools isn't too far ...
I think about the end of this video a lot
I know this is a dead channel, but I need the people involved in this to do a sequel.
They'll reveal it anytime now. Right? This will be hilarious after 4 years.
Right?
Explains everything.
Came here from Reddit just now. It's 5:30 a.m. and very quiet in the house. I paused the video right at the end and leaned back and the quiet became loud and apparent. God I hate how the world is right now. What a fucking way to start my Monday........
I'm absolutely Speechless....
STILL WAITING FOR THE BIG REVEAL!!!???
Aren't we all...is what I originally wanted to say but I've become very sad seeing it not be the case.

W-what?
Do something about the UK leaving the EU I am currently shedding tears for my country.
Scotland and Northern Ireland will. Free Scotland and United Ireland!

+Flint McFreely Fuck off.
the worst part is that if trump loses, america will officially be less stupid than the UK.
just imagining prime minister boris johnson is fucking terrifying
I didn't want to leave EU but was surprised how close the vote was nice to know half the country could bitch no matter which side won
I guess the punchline is not coming cuz the joke has only just begun.
I guess the punchline is not coming cuz the joker has only just begun.
Are you guys still doing this or when he gets impeached you're going to come clean?
That is hands down the funniest, and scariest, thing I've ever seen.
Thank God this joke only lasted 4 years instead of 8
He wants to run again in 2024.
I think you mean 12 instead of 8
@@kevinsmithfan37 Trump can only be president for eight years.
I have never seen any bit so good on youtube. This was purely amazing. You guys are awesome.
Yall should do an update on this skit
This was priceless! Thank you Cracked for that video!
If this would be a feature film - I defenitely would watch it
This video just makes you want to laugh and cry at the same time.
This is up there in my top 5 cracked videos, awesome stuff.
If Trump actually wins AND stays in office for 8 years, I'm calling blame on Cracked for predicting it. :P
HE WON! THAT'S HALF THE PREDICTION! I blame you Cracked! lolz
About 6 and a half years left for the second half
@@Crick1952 2 years you mean
Actually I think the Simpson's predicted it first. We laughed so hard back then. it's not funny anymore.
I'm grateful that didn't happen. Too bad all we got was a president that's incrementally better.
i would laugh my ass off if it weren't so depressingly true
MY ACTUAL GOD THIS BECAME TRUE...
I could feeeeeeeel the stress eminating from you two. Good job you guys!
2022 Back to watch this again... Still funny.... and tragic.
I saw this in 2016 and laughed. But now it's a nightmare I can't wake up from. It's worse than Cracked ever imagined. :-(
This is award-worthy! Great writing, acting, editing... the works.
Still hilarious, we need a follow up for this year 😂
I miss this. I miss when we could laugh.
Not sure if I should like or dislike.
Obvious liberal propaganda, but was funny...
So torn.
Most likely libtard propaganda.
You do realize that even other Republicans are saying he's is a joke, right?
+Pokerface that still means this is Libtard propaganda
Oh hi Mark No it doesn't. It means there are people on both sides of the isle watching this and laughing, because Trump's a fucking joke.
+Oh hi Mark that still means this is buzzword buzzword
That was actually really good guys. The "getting dark at the end" thing was a masterstroke, reminiscent of that movie whatitsname. Awesome work on this one.
Really good acting. I want to see more of these sketches. The darkness of it all really helps with seeing a bigger picture.
