  • Comment removed

  • We'll be smokin' and eatin' spaghetti!

  • This parody has more views than his regular campaign ad XD

  • fuck dis due.

    YES WE CAIN!

  • cain obisuly wanted to lose

  • Classic

  • he's no jon stewart

  • what is this music??

  • cain's smile should be the new rick roll.

  • @MrLocoPictures

    That's an incredible idea :)

  • My grandma was like " why is uncle bens rice all over the TV tryna be president" I loled so hard i couldnt breathe

  • Wow, that's funny!

  • LMAO! He smoked his fag! Stud style!

  • Look at Herman Cain's trollface at the end of the ad

  • Herman CAINCER.

  • colbert's bit was funner, this was really good tho

  • Now Herman is after the masturbators vote as well as the smokers vote. You go Herman! Go to my channel and look for the "Herman Cain Ad (Parody) video.

  • America is already nigger rich give us our change back.

  • @GovernMentalFreedom Uga uga?

  • @GovernMentalFreedom Yeah, you're right, too many niggers. LET'S GIVE THAT MOTHERFUCKING WHITE COCKSUCKER GEORGE W. BUSH ANOTHER CHANCE TO FUCK US ALL UP THE ASS.

  • @GovernMentalFreedom you realize this guy is the complete opposite of Obama

  • @1234REEB1234 A PIMP is a PIMP you are there prosituted turing tricks for another PIMP try to find someone who is against the wars and government growth.

  • @GovernMentalFreedom I will respond to this with a real argument after you make your comment a coherent thought.

  • The Colbert version was funnier.

  • Despite the unbecoming ads with the smoking and scarfing food, the very fact he's trying to improve his public image with his manager etc. speaking of how great it'll be if he were C.i.C (and not speaking for himself), shows how blissfully inept he is when it comes to campaign strategy. Not to mention what and how he responds to criticism, or foreign policy for that matter. with all his missteps so far it's unbelievable to see him among the frontrunners.

  • Lot of racist around here. They would rather vote for a guy half white that organized a ghettoh in Chicago instead of a successful business man that was:

    A ballistics analysis for the US Navy

    A computer systems analyst for The Coca-Cola Company.

    Director of business analysis for Pillsbury

    Managed 400 Burger King stores in his 30's and posted 3 years year over year improvements.

    President and CEO of Godfather's Pizza.

    Board of directors of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City.

  • @RobertKlayton None of that outweighs the fact that he's a totally skeeze and can't keep his dick in his pants instead of his personality.

  • Herman Cain's slogan shouldn't be "Yes we Cain" it should be "Hell No" we aint gonna vote you into office you fool.

  • #facepalm I DON'T GET IT!!

  • What kind of freaken ad is that???

  • Comment removed

  • Haha hes eating spaghetti

  • You should watch Cain's Action Pizza Campaign.... It is really funny.

  • xD Smoking and eating spagetti!

  • lmao, what a sick joke

  • govt needs to get out of who's way? the federal reserve?

  • im from the south where tabacco employs thousands of people,or did till the leftest liberals decided what we should and should not do.herman is simply saying that were are legislated to death! let if people want to smoke and if they die,thats still their choice.not the governments.maybe im a stupid southerner,but i will vote herman cain! then i will continue to smoke,to work,oh yea,and to eat all the fast food i want.you see,government is trying to regulate that too...

  • The spaghetti version was HELLA funny!

  • lol the ad had no message whatsoever, basically an employee praising herman cain, his employer (the guy that pays him) and telling everyone to put faith in him without making any valid points

    btw that smile at the end tells me he's gonna rape someone....

  • What's with that smoking and doesn't this retard know,that with his vulture looks,he has about the same same chanches to be the president of the u.s as bin laden has.The 999 plan was gr8 because a lot of comedian turned it into funny jokes.

  • I guess Cain must of spent all his campaign donations buying his own books to drive up sales instead of on TV ads....

  • I like Cain....he's got balls! & He's handsome to boot!

  • Now, remember this as well. People that are financially stable are usually healthy. People that keep their debt low or at zero are generally not overweight and rarely appear older than they are. No President, no policy, no congress is going to get our country out of the situation it is in right now. Its in the hands of the people to turn THEIR lives around. This ad, doesn't tell people to smoke nor does it say "Herman Cain likes people who smoke." Freedom of speech, stop being offended.

  • @fletch813 No ones offended. Its just fucking hilarious because it seems to be out of place.

  • Of course they are. Whatever we do always supplies money back into the system. How do you end up paying for their treatment? Do we have a national healthcare system where you don't need an insurance company or need to cut a check at the pharmacy or doctor's office after a visit? Of course not. Of course, not.

  • hahaha omg i'm dying at the end. of all the late night spoofs of this letterman did it best.

  • Honestly, there is no push for people to smoke in this, nor is Cain endorsing smoking. He is simpling stating that you can do what you want. I applaude smokers for continuing to smoke and buy tobacco despite all the rules, regulations, and taxes that continue to be imposed on them! How many tax dollars do they feed back into tthe "system"?

  • @fletch813

    Do you applaud obese people for eating lots and lots and lots of food? They're supporting the system too.

    Of course when all those fat people and smokers get unnecessary life-threatening illnesses caused by their bad habits, we'll all end up having to help pay for their treatment, but hey ......

  • @ericynot We shouldn't have to pay for other people's irresponsibility. If you get cancer, b/c of your irresponsibility, we shouldn't be forced to pay for it. I'm willing to donate VOLUNTARILY for cancer research, but there is no right to force me to pay for someone else's health care.

  • @Aegius

    Of course there's a right. You know that interstate highway you drive to work every day? I helped pay for it. That stop sign at the corner? You and your neighbors bought it. That airport you use occasionally? We all helped build that. Sewerage plants? Public hospitals and schools? The armed forces? They're all paid for with our taxes. That's how it works

    We can debate the best use of that tax revenue, but there's no question they're a legitimate and necessary feature of society.

  • @ericynot You're comparing apples and oranges. An entire community has to use a city street. An entire community or city of people or entire area of people has to use that interstate highway. We don't need to have a collectivist system of health care as we need to have the streets used by everyone. We can have no system with health care and people pay independently rather than as part of a collectivist system. The transactions can be just patient/provider, yet that won't occur w/streets.

  • @Aegius

    You're obviously a smart guy. But you're wrong. Collectivist is a loaded term, but you like it, so I'll use it. Society acts in a collectivist manner to do things individuals can't do on their own. I don't fly since that's become so sucky, but I don't mind paying for airports/controllers/etc. because they're vital to our economy.

    Most people can't afford a heart transplant, so we pool our resources via insurance to make such care available. Or should we live alone in the forrest?

  • @ericynot If we pool our resources, then everyone is responsible for a transaction and there is no one who really is working to keep the costs involved in transactions at a minimum. Society does act in a collectivist manner in education including in private education as private firms are subsidized. Now let's say the Dept of Education is eliminated and there is no more subsidies for private education. Then such firms have to fend for themselves ONLY.... cont...

  • @ericynot Such private firms have to rely entirely on their transactions w/other private individuals to have their expenses covered. To get the maximum # of clients they would have to min their price. That means min their costs and so they constantly work to reduce costs. If gov pays the costs, there is no pursuit to reduce costs, so costs spiral out of control inevitably. That's what is happening with education already and has occurred w/gov run health care as well.

  • @ericynot cont.... Did you know that before the Dept of Education was established under Carter the costs in education were declining, not increasing?

    Most ppl can't afford a heart transplant? If the costs of a heart transplant solely occur between a provider and a patient and the providers are competing for the patient's care, then providers will seek to reduce costs. That is the ONLY situation where costs will be reduced. Gov can't do that. Collectivism of costs causes increases in costs.

  • @Aegius

    Second thought -- it's not just taxes that have to be paid when people get sick unnecessarity. Do you have health insurance? If you do, the more people get sick, the higher your premiums go. So, once again, if I get cancer, you'll be helping to pay for my treatment (and vice versa, of course).

  • what the fuck kinda stupid ass ad was that?

  • pdmacquire:  Obama quit smoking months ago. (Where have you been?) Mark Blockhead should too. That commercial killed a lot of support for Cane thanks to Bob Scherer, CBS Radio News and Letterman.

  • pdmacquire: Obama quit smoking months ago. Mark Blockhead should too. That commercial killed a lot of support thanks to Bob Scherer, CBS News and Letterman.

  • I don't smoke but I just made a donation to Herman Cain. The pathetic bitch in the White House is afraid to admit that he smokes. It's ok to make choices about your body if you want to abort a baby but light up a cigarette and everyone jumps all over you.

  • Not as funny as Colbert

  • doesn't Oboma smoke

  • Another social globalist! Nooooooo cain.

  • cain is being paid for by the koch brothers. CAIN DOESN"T DISCLOSE 50% of the  funds he gets!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Cain is the candidate of choice for the Koch brothers.

    Not a joke, fake grass roots.. but Koch-Cain 2012?

  • Herman Cain is such a joke of a presidential candidate. You really have to be a complete moron to even consider him a good candidate

  • @lampshaderoofremote nice valid arguement..

  • @lampshaderoofremote Our mainstream news media will continue to push him as a serious candidate and fool the naive. I don't know where his support comes from. Youtube is the best source for news because it's people speaking their minds and not shills who read teleprompters or say what they are told to say. Quite frankly, i also think the mainstream polls juice up his numbers just like they did with Giuliani's in 08, only to have far less support in the actual election than they told us he did.

  • @ThePelicans44 - Are you kidding me? The MAIN STREAM MEDIA is trying to kill him. Are you nuts?

  • @danweb2007 Correct, now most of them are trying to kill him. However, at first they ignored him and every sunday news show said, "Romney, Perry and Bachmann are the top tier" and there are clips of media talking heads saying he has no chance, but when Perry fell out of favor, they jumped behind Cain strongly. When the sexual harassment allegations came out, now everyone but Fox is trying to kill him. Basically, we probably agree that the mainstream media sucks.

  • @lampshaderoofremote the scary part is the millions of morons that support him.

  • @politicalpuppettv - NO, you are the freak. A stupid Liberal freak.

  • @danweb2007 Yep, you sound real sensible and smart. Can't say enough about how smart you sound.

  • @danweb2007 Yep, you sound real sensible and smart. Can't say enough about how smart you sound. You know Herman said stupid people are destroying the world. So glad you are a smart person.

  • Check out what we smoke...on our channel

  • If you look at the recent polls, whatever you think of Herman Cain's campaign, it's working. He might be playing chess while the rest of the field is playing checkers.

  • Looks to me like the democrats are scarred of a black man who subscribes to what made this country great... One who doesn't subscribe to living off the system... Obama is in way over his community organizing head!

  • @imax1971 LMAO. Let's see, it was Bush who allowed 911 to happen on HIS watch, it was BUSH who invaded the WRONG country, Between those two alone over 8000 Americans have lost their lives.

    On OBAMA's watch, NO terrorism has come to our shores, it was under Obama's watch that we got Osama, and his right hand men. Bush tried for 8 years and couldnt do it. He was an epic failure.

    It was Bush who put us into the economic mess. Our gdp #'s this week show we are finally improving.

  • @Holly080 I didn't mention Bush. He sucked as a president. The failure of a previous President justifies another?

  • Here's a closed caption for you Letterman, for Mark Block's unspoken expression: "It's time to get that dirtbag out of the Whitehouse. We need you to get involved to help us do that.  This cigarette is what I'll use to cope with the stress of what his his shovel ready presidency is doing to Herman's and and our country, until then."

  • It's a brilliant ad...no body will forget it. He has gotten zillions of dollars of coverage with it. He who laughs last laughs best.

  • i'm italian, I live in a country where everyone actually smokes and eats spaghetti

  • @Wolleaston108 - you are the complete moron and disgraceful too. Do you not realize that your stupid

    Liberal President Obalama SMOKES !!!!!!!!!!!!!! and this Letterman is such an arrogant ignorant Host.

    he used to take little girls up in an apartment above the his studio.

    Give me a break you idiot.

    Shut the hell up.

  • Herman is so smart. He just stretched 200k dollars into millions worth of advertising using the media to play the commercial for him.

  • @kriskats19 Yeah except the video sucks haha. You're not gonna see Rebecca Black becoming President ever.

  • Letterman is a fuckin douchebag.

  • or maybe if people without money and/or insurance would stop getting free health care AKA the people who pay taxes and pay insurance premiums are paying for it ... then what?

  • hey maybe if we make smoking look as disgusting as eating without manners the health care wont cost our overlords as much... maybe we could tell the sheep all kinds of things they have to do, like wear seatbelts, just to keep the costs down for the overlords. they'll comply, they always do.

  • Jokes on you Letterman. Two ads that cost $10 tops are getting huge coverage by the MSM. That old progressive play "ridicule" is a double edged sword.

  • @sportsone23

    If Cain dropped his pans and urinated  on stage during a debate it would get a lot of coverage too.

  • @MurrayAbraham You mean kinda like the OWS protester took a dump on a police car? Conservatives don't disgrace themselves in that manner.

  • Cain and the entire republican party has turned into a laughing stock. They are pawns of the American corporations.

  • @OrganNLou Totally agree. And the Repukes disgust me. They should all be drummed out for putting party before country.

  • On a different note David Letterman used to be relevant and funny. Now he just looks frail and creepy. Who watches this show anymore, anyway?

  • To me this is not a Pro smoking ad, it is a pro freedom ad. I think not one penny of cigarette taxes should go to anything but the health costs of smokers. That way no one could complain about the costs of tobacco related illness. It would be self funding.

  • People don't realize that if it wans't for smoker, there would be 0 (ZERO) funding for the Children's Health Insurance Program aka CHIP! This program is primarly funded with revenue collect through cigerette taxes.Liberal law makers are hypocrites. Pick your battle; Cigerette smoking or lack of insurance for the low to middle income children.

  • I dont smoke. But I'm glad to see a man (Mark) who has balls enough to blow smoke at The Nanny State. Enough already.

  • The ad is highly offensive. Take that from someone who is highly intelligent and is well aware of social issues. If you vote for someone who thinks that smoking is a signet of freedom then you will vote for someone who sees no big deal in targeting children with advertisements for smoking. And they will scoff at statistics like children of smokers are 600% more likely to develop asthma than children who parents are not suicidal..I'm sorry smokers.

  • @mikeygoodboi lol

  • lol

  • Cain announces he has a 4-2-0 addendum to his 9-9-9 plan. Go Herman! Don't Bogart that joint, my friend.

  • Hey wait a minute?! Spaghetti? That's not funny or relevent! The Conan O Brien show showed a guy drinking Tequila and another guy about to hit a bong! Now THAT is funny and a whole lot more similar! SOMEONE POST THOSE ALREADY! I don't know how to do it.

  • Cain didn't pay his taxes, yet he's cutting taxes for the rich...

    Well he's got my vote!!!

  • @JohnnyBDakota Fuck you bitch

  • Are these for real? Surely it's a joke.

  • You don't get it?? Well, before, only 16% of people knew who Herman was. Now some 90% know. ANY QUESTIONS? DUH.

  • @Wanda7771 That is SO true! I had no idea who he was until now! And I still don't care. But it makes for funny late night television material! Someone needs to post the ones about this from the Conan O Brien show!

  • Why are liberals in such a tizzy over this ad? Isn't it after all his body, his choice? You hypocrites! You murder unborn, innocent children, but rave over a cigarette.

  • I felt I needed clarify..."In REFERENCE to Babylondemo...whatever"

    Holy crap...he's just trying to say, "stop looking at a book by its cover..."

    He's just trying make himself look more intelligent by using big words in fancy grammar structure. He does this so he can be condescending and feel good about himself.

    9-9-9 plan raises our taxes, he just got caught in a scandal because he was buying his own book (all I really know is that is not allowed), and he's from the Federal Reserve.

  • Cain doesn't even pay his taxes...look it up...I would put it here, but i can't post a link. I saw it on a news site called "The Daily Beast"

    And, ...ahem...let me get my condescending accent ready..."Based on these 'observations', in which the researchers will claim neutrality, it is my projection that allowing Presidential Candidate Herman Cain and his administration in 2012 will...uh, how do you say it,...F**K us up..."

  • @JohnnyBDakota ... last time I checked, NObama did the "F**K us" up thing already. Therefor I conclude that the Hermanator can only get US back to normalcy. It doesn't get more f****ed up than what NObama did to this country, really.

  • Comment removed

  • @YnnisGlytyr ...its really bad, but it can get worse...

  • Comment removed

  • Letterman is getting old and boring. Does he have anything else to make a show off than hacking on politicians?

  • Obama talked over the British National Anthem...Imagine what Cain is gonna do!

  • Herman Cain says we need to, "Clearly identify who our friends are. Clearly identify who our enemies are..." He don't even know their names!!! Mr. "Becky-becky-stan"...

    Oh, let me put it in condescending language..."The aforementioned was not proficient in the pronunciation of our worldly neighbor's title. It seems, at this particular moment, he is an uneducated moron, when it comes to the affairs of foreign policy..."

  • We should have one where the guy is eating Godfather's Pizza

  • And it was Herman Cain who said that America needed a sense of humor...

  • I think it has something to do with smoking bans?

  • Herman Cain is about less gov't and more freedom! That is what America is all about. Obama is for big gov't, big unions, wasted taxpayer money down the drain in the attempt to buy votes (e.g. "Stimulus", Solyndra, Sunpower scams etc.). All Obama knows is bigger and bigger "nanny-state" gov't. Once that Marxist, Anti-America, big gov't hack is replaced, America just might recover from this shithole we are in now!

  • Herman Cain former lobbyist & Federal Reserve Bank President. Are you sure you know all there is to know about Mr. Cain? Pizza is just a pie.

  • cain is only running for pres for his own greed.. he doesnt give two shits about the people.. only people he cares about the benjamin franklins in his pocket

  • Smoking advertisement on T.V. , I want a cigarette now, thanks I am trying to quit.

  • take our country back? uhm cain is for corps to have all control and money

  • Cain was the former lobbyist for the American Restaurant Association, and advocated removing prohibitions against smoking in public restaurants, as well as raising the legal limits of ethanol levels. He has a great future on reality TV shows, with his great singing voice. From an Independent CONSERVATIVE.

  • CAIN.. LEGALIZE BATH SALTS!

  • VOTE FOR CAIN 1#.

  • Ppl forget it...the Liberals will NEVER understand how to run anything, they will never understand what makes this country great, they will never understand the difference between working for what you want and getting hand-outs, they will never understand why they won't advance in life, they will never understand that the rich are providing jobs for them. It is a lost cause and we can only wait until they destroy themselves...which will come soon :)

  • @Pakash8 you are a moron

  • @swingingadam I don't usually advocate insults, but people like pakash only force our hands. He is the very definition of a moron.

  • @swingingadam .... reading your short and simple comment, I'd say YOU are the moron. Obviously, you don't have a single argument against my statement. You know why???? Because you are uneducated, have no idea what you are talking about, are lost in that liberal blah-blah, and cannot show me in text or video that I am wrong. Hang yourself because you and all your liberal buddies are a lost cause.

  • @Pakash8 Liberals are the people that made this country great. If it was not for liberals like Kennedy and Johnson the civil rights movement would never have happened. If it was not for a liberal like Roosevelt, Social Security would not exist. Trickle down economics does not work, period. It has been proven over and over, but conservatives think taxes are the enemy. If it was not for liberals the FDA would not exist and government regulation of industry would be non existent.

  • @swingingadam .... You forgot to mention that Kennedy, Roosevelt, and many more President's in that era were DEMOCRATS. They surely would not stand by those Liberals. That's exactly why Ronald Reagan left the Democratic Party - or rather...the Democratic Party left him. Democrats and Liberals are two very different people. As I said before...READ READ READ !!!! BTW...the private sector provides MOST of the jobs...and I am one of those evil, rich people that provide jobs in the private industry.

  • @Pakash8 My argument can be more complex but I am afraid it would go over your head. If it was not for liberal thinkers like John Keynes, the recession that we are in would have been even more disastrous. Even Gorge Bush, Mr. Conservative infused billions of dollars into the private sector when the financial markets were collapsing, A conservative would have let the industries die.

  • @swingingadam .... hate to tell you that, but it looks as if Pakash has more sense than you. At least that's what I get from reading all the comments. Heck, I'd go so far as to say Pakash is the only one making sense here. All you others are just complaining, throwing names at each other, and you don't back up your comments with any facts. At least, Pakash made the effort to show some of you what the Education Department is all about. And I agree with him/her 100%...it needs to be abolished!

  • @YnnisGlytyr How about this for a fact. In the past 30 years the only president that has lowered the national debt was a liberal democrat by the name of Bill Clinton. Ronald Reagan left the democratic party to get elected. to Pakash, it is nice that you can steal a quote of Reagan himself as pass it off as your own about the democratic party leaving him. I have nothing against the private sector, it is a vital part of the economy. But this country is founded on liberalism.

  • @swingingadam .... This country is founded on Liberalism ??? Oh my gosh, where did you go to school? Ever thought of suing your teachers for teaching you the wrong stuff? Please, do others, yourself, and me a favor.....do not write any more comments. You really are ridiculous and embarrassing ! Oh my...I have to show your comment to my friends, so we have a good laugh tonight. You cannot be for real ??? !!!

  • @YnnisGlytyr The United States of America was the first country to be founded on the liberal ideas of John Locke and other philosophers of the Enlightenment, with no monarchy, no hereditary aristocracy, and no established religion. Look up what liberalism really means...

  • @swingingadam .... yeah, but John Locke's liberal ideas were a government WITH THE CONSENT of the governed, which means the people - and not a government where the President and his chosen ones (Pelosi, Reid and the other thugs) decide what is best for us (of course we find out AFTER we read it, right?). John Locke also advertised the rights for life, liberty and property. This is NOT what the liberals nowadays have in mind. Therefor, John Locke would probably be considered a conservative today.

  • @YnnisGlytyr Last time I checked the presidents "chosen ones" were elected officials...

  • @swingingadam ... I was talking about the chosen ones that were aloud to know what's in that f*ck*d up health care bill. I didn't choose those fools to make a decision for me or my family. I can take care of myself, thank you.

  • @swingingadam .... Liberalism back in the days and liberalism today is a B I G difference. Liberals today are mentally disturbed (like Michael Savage rightfully stated in his book "Liberalism is a Mental Disorder"). John Locke was born in 1632, that is almost 400 years ago...400 years ago !!!!!!! How can you compare liberals from back then with those whackos today? John Locke is probably twisting and turning in his grave trying to shake the word "Liberal" off his image. I don't blame him.

  • @swingingadam .... BTW, Bill Clinton was a modern democrat ( you were talking about the one that got a blow job in the oval office, right?). The only reason he was able to lower the national dept was because of the internet boom (or what Al Gore claimed was his world wide web idea). If it wasn't for that, we probably would be in much worse shape.

  • @swingingadam .... The meaning of Liberalism...

    "Liberalism is the belief in the importance of liberty and equal rights. Generally, liberals support ideas such as CONSTITUTIONALISM, liberal democracy, FREE and FAIR elections, human rights, CAPITALISM, and freedom of religion."

    Maybe we need to stop calling those whackos "liberals" and start calling them fascists, communists, or marxists - because this is exactly what they are.

  • @Pakash8 Broad generalizations and arrogant assertions tend to make people look like morons. And labeling people you have never met as 'uneducated' seems more of a projection than observation. Perhaps you should start off by learning the proper use for an ellipsis.

  • Comment removed

  • @Babylondemolitionist ...."you are a moron"...that is one superb comment and a label !!! And you want me to assume that one who has no better argument than "you are a moron" is educated? Is that what they teach in public schools today? I am so glad my kids are in private school. Sorry, but the lack of education in swingingadam's comment spoke for itself. I was not the one who labeled first. You want me to shut up, while others can speak their minds? Not over here, buddy. Wrong address...

  • LAME. conan and colbert both nailed it on their shows.

  • What's he smoking???

  • Mark Block for President 2012 !

  • Letterman is old.

    -Mark Block here.

  • Herman Cain nay. Ron Paul yay.
