In the current “a seat at the table” ad for Jägermeister, we
see sports heroes, Kerry King from Slayer, and now a rodeo clown finally being
inducted into the group. Well, how about a political version of this ad, where
some new acolyte is brought into the fold? And all the old guys would be
hardened spin-meisters who had really earned their seat by being brilliantly cynical
attack dogs and such. And so the new guy being inducted into this group, having
earned his seat for political stuff would be Stephen Colbert (as a satirical inductee), and he’d walk
into some secret society in Washington, D.C., walk down some dark dusty hallway, past timeless American treasures and pictures of the old political guys who had gotten the big guys elected, like
FDR’s guys, Ike’s guys, JFK’s guys, LBJ’s guys, Nixon’s guys, Reagan’s guys,
etc., and then he’d walk through that private door at the end of the hall. And
after walking into the sanctum sanctorum, he would come face-to-face with a
table of political spin masters: Charles Krauthammer, Paul Begala, The Ragin’
Cajun: James Carville, Karl Rove (with a Ham Roaf with wire-frame glasses in
front of him as an in-joke), David Axelrod, James Baker, etc. (And they’re
secretly all friends, taking turns carving up the country between themselves.) And
then they’d welcome Stephen Colbert into the group, and they’d all take a shot
of Jägermeister to seal the bond. Jä, Jägermeister! (It gives you political
spins as well as head spins and bed spins!)
Here’s the original Jägermeister ad I’m referring to:
