This skit has been around since the 1960s. I worked rodeos in 1968 and saw it often, when Lyndon Johnson was the butt of the jokes.

This skit has been around since the 1960s when Lyndon Johnson was the “dummy”. I worked rodeos then and saw it often.
How the skit works.
Rodeo clowns work in teams. One yells he is going to bring out a dummy for the bulls to hit, he then drags out the dummy, often with the mask of a current politician, and props it up with a broomstick.
When the bull come out, often the bull will buck away from the dummy.
The the next bull and rider may buck toward the dummy in which the dummy jumps to life, grabs the broomstick, whops the bull on the butt, and runs for the fence with the bull after him. This gives a thrown rider a chance to get away in the opposite direction.
The audience always loves it.
