The 'Scooby Van' disappeared when the campaign started getting questions about the wheel chair lift in it and why it was parking in handicapped spaces.
Most of Hil’s ideas of what’s funny are outdated unless someone brings her up to date. Remember that Scooby Van?
I’m surprised she didn’t bring up Nancy & Sluggo.
None of her interns would know who she meant until they Googled it. Then eye-rolls followed by deep sighs. Sort of like on last Election Day.

There’s good chance that Huma, who has been closest to Hillary since the 1990s during the Clinton presidency, thought it up and/or or liked the ideas. Huma did not grow up in the U.S., so U.S. popular culture loomed even larger for her than for kids growing up in the U.S.! Huma likely watched U.S. cartoons when she was growing up and did so with more than passing interest.
Perhaps growing up outside the U.S., she perceived these cartoon characters as beloved symbols of the U.S.A. and continued to perceive them as an even bigger deal than they were. Hillary’s clearly been influenced continuously by Huma, right up to now. The last time these characters were a really big deal was when Huma was a child and teenager - the last time in her life she might have had a real life, before assuming her lifetime political insider job.
Maybe Huma and other close advisors to Hillary simply have an insipid sense of humor and a PR sense that misses the mark.
