WIBCI we had roasts instead of debates before elections?
Wouldn’t It Be Cool If when choosing between candidates, you could base it on how well they performed in, reacted to, and came off in their own roast?
Think about it:
- You would be able to find out if the candidates had a sense a humor?
- You would get to see how they handled being purposely insulted by the best, professional comics of the day, live on camera, and to be rebroadcast relentlessly.
- You would get to see if they could laugh at themselves.
- You could judge whether the on-camera reaction was genuine or differed greatly from that which you imagine happened off-camera. Aka are they phony?
- When they spoke, you could tell if they were in touch with pop culture, current events, and public opinion.
- You could judge how articulate, smooth, quick, and witty they were?
- Most importantly, you could see if they were funny.
To me, that information is of more valuable than canned campaign promises and mud-slinging.
Pick someone in government, alive or dead, and imagine how they would perform/react in their own televised roast.
Gandhi and Honest Abe would slay…..Hitler, not so much.
