A 90-second video of “typical” men expressing their support for Kamala Harris was widely mocked online Friday — with critics trashing the awkward spot as the “cringiest political ad ever” and an “absurd piece of rubbish.”
The clip features a slew of apparent farmers, car enthusiasts and gym junkies boasting about their masculinity as they repeatedly insist, “I’m a man” and “I’m man enough.”
The script then takes a hard feminist turn as the presumed actors — most of whom were filmed doing outdoor activities or perched on trucks — start rattling off ways they aren’t afraid to support women.
“You think I’m afraid to rebuild a carburetor? I eat carburetors for breakfast,” one man oddly says before another chimes in: “I’ll tell you another thing I’m sure as s–t not afraid of … women.”
“If they wanna control their bodies, I say go for it,” the men crow in the video. “If they want to start a family, I’m not afraid of families … If they want to be childless cat ladies … have all the cats you want.”
“If a woman wants to be president … I hope she has the guts to look me right in the eye and accept my full-throated endorsement,” they added.
Ridicule of the ad was swift and spread like wildfire — with many openly questioning whether it was satire engineered by supporters of Republican nominee Donald Trump.
“I present to you the cringiest political ad ever created,” one user posted on X.
“I’ve tried processing this for 20 minutes, concluded it was some kind of Trumpster prank deep satire, but then realized the Trumpsters are too retarded to pull off anything that brilliant, and so I’m back to confusion Square One,” veteran political snarker @iowahawkblog commented.
“Look, I know a lot of car guys, and a lot of farmers, and a lot of car guys and farmers who are going to vote for Harris,” he added, “and I will tell you no one on earth is cringing at this video harder than they are.”
Another user tweeted: “A Kamala Harris ad is making the rounds on social media. It’s the most absurd piece of rubbish imaginable. It’s so bad, it is more believable as parody than reality.”
“Is this Kamala Harris commercial about ‘real men’ the worst ad in the history of politics and why is the answer yes?” one person wrote in another post.
“Must-see Kamala ad,” enthused Claremont Institute fellow David Reaboi. “Not only do they have no idea how actual men speak, they couldn’t find any convincing male actors.”
“Who wrote this script?” asked writer Emily Zanotti. “Have they met literally a single male human[?]”
“Apparently, the only men those working for the Harris campaign know are Doug Emhoff and Tim Walz,” joked Margot Cleveland, legal correspondent for the Federalist.
It wasn’t immediately clear who was behind the new ad, but a tiny message at the end of the clip noted it was “not authorized by candidate or candidate committee.”
The Post reached out to the Harris campaign about the new ad, but didn’t hear back immediately.
