It’s all call-back to Pittsburgh Steeler hero Mean Joe Greene, so Fetterman may get 81 million votes out of that city alone. Everyone expects most of the fraud to come from Philly, but maybe Fetterman is working his magic in that other town.
First, if his campaign released that, the Coca-Cola people may take exception to their recorded jingle being used in a political ad.
Second, Fetterman has about 1/100th of the charisma of the real Joe Greene in the ad.
Third, yes Boomers will remember the Mean Joe Greene commercials, but someone who isn’t predisposed towards Fetterman already may see it more as a mockery, not a tribute. They know Mean Joe Greene, and Fetterman ain’t Mean Joe Greene.
Finally, that “Where’s your suit, where’s your flag pin?” schtick is pretty transparent and detracts from the attempted parallel of the original ad. It is kind of like Lamar Alexander’s lumberjack shirt, or Scott Brown’s pickup truck. Unconvincing Schtick.
Yup. a repeat of the Mean Joe Greene Coca-Cola ad showing a tired MJG as a nice guy. What this has to do with his ability to serve in the Senate.
Shouldn’t Fetterman be pointing a 20 gauge at that little kid in the commercial?
