I liked this because of Olivia Wilde.


Oh yeah, and health insurance is important too.

I especially liked Masi Oka's cameo.

Cutting from Hamm to Ferrell is a total boner killer.

Nicely done, and effective. Wish it was a bit shorter though. You don't see a lot of 2 and a half minute ads. But there were lots of stars who all needed screen time.

I just realized I had a dream last night where I thought of a great way to eliminate lobbyist money from Washington. Which is sad on two levels.

Is Obama trying to reform healthcare? I hadn't noticed.

In all seriousness -- I have the sinking feeling that some people are going to see this and actually take it seriously.

I think I interpreted this in a different way than you meant it.

I love how you can tell Thomas Lennon is joking because he wears that ridiculous cravat.

I'm proud to call the director/editor a friend. Funny or Die collectively knocked this one out of the park.

Will there be a Celebrity Income Cap to help pay for the public option?

That's pretty much how I feel about every Funny or Die video.
