‘Don’t Vote’ celebrity PSA attempts to stretch thinly-veiled sarcasm for five minutes

October 1st, 2008 // 109 Comments

A ridiculous amount of celebs got together to make this “edgy” video encouraging young people to vote. Here’s the YouTube summary:

Leonardo DiCaprio, will i. am, Tobey Maguire, and Forest Whitaker have created public service announcements to encourage American youth to register to vote. The non-partisan PSAs, produced by DiCaprios Appian Way, were created to engage and inspire young people to register and vote and participate in the upcoming election.

And guess what, kids? They use bad words. Holy shit! In fact, Jonah Hill even endorses getting high and playing Halo. Damn, now I’m totally voting! Thanks, sarcastic stars of stage and screen. If it weren’t for the emotionless face of Tobey Maguire, I would’ve sat at home like a fag. U.S.A!

    The American youth of today certainly do need people to look up to and this group that’s put together this video is a good start and jolt to the upcoming election.

    Vote and let yourself be heard!

    The only funny one was Jonah Hill. And even he was iffy.

    I’m a 20 year old college student who will be voting for the first time in a presidential election, so I think I’m exactly who they’re catering to, and this fucking infuriates me to no end.

    I fucking hate you celebrities. I come onto thesuperficial to laugh at your misfortune. Many thousands of kids like me do the same thing for the same reason.

    We all hate you. Fuck off and die.

    this video is perfect, cause honestly I don’t give a fuck about anything. The economy might fail now but in 2,3,5 years we’ll all look back and be like whatever, lets buy some shit. Darfur, fuck them. You actually think if you vote for a president that promises you something like all the dumbass celebrities list (abortion, gay rights, economy, etc) that it’ll all come true at a drop of a hat. People need to realize that this democracy is not built for poor or middle class people, only the rich can benefit which is exactly why these celebrities give a shit, cause they have money and you don’t.

    Liberals keep hating on success.

    And another thing. Fuck liberals. I’m not even voting because I know McCain will win. Just like when my homeboy GW took it to the house. Back2Back like the Oakland Raider son, what?!

    Save us all the BS and dont respond to my comment.

    Celebrities need to check themselves. Those idiots must love getting taxed millions because of lazy muhfuggas that would rather have the government pay them to sit on their ass and have babys and do meth.

    VOTE OBAMAN BECAUSE….. well……he’s cool. HE CAN TEXT YOU KNOW!!!

    Am I the only one who’s fucking insulted by these hollywood douche bags and their sarcastic condescending attitude? I don’t need you fuckers to tell me to vote, you fucking retards, I was planning to already. The opinions of these out of touch shit heads means absolutely NOTHING to me, and the fact that they think it does, just goes to show what worthless fucktards they are.

    And what was with that: ‘You do know you have to register first, right?!’ Yep, you got it celbs! Insulting, alienating, and speaking down to the young generation will surely get them to vote!

    Jennifer Aniston was quite funny though, wasn’t she? ‘God, I hope you have 5 friends!’ Well, we know you don’t, Jennifer, since you’re always hanging out on the beach all by yourself!

    People who don’t plan on voting are most likely people who would vote for Obama. Historically, democrats and liberals suck at voting. So, seriously, go vote.

    This might have worked if I didn’t hate most of these celebrities. Jennifer Aniston? Ashton Kutcher? Jonah Hill? Michelle Trachtenberg? Seriously?

    Although, I do love Dustin Hoffman. And will forever love Tobey Maguire for his cameo in Tropic Thunder with Robert Downey, Jr. That was awesome.

    Let’s see… we have multimillionaire celebrities who either can’t hold a marriage together, have had drug problems (or admitted on the commercial they have used), use racist and bigoted dialogue as humur, or think using profanity makes them more sincere to condescend to us who aren’t smart enough to know you have to register to vote.

    Thanks. Guilt by really rich people who have contributed little to the world except fat kids watching tv (except Leo who made a failed documentary on the heels of Al Gore). I think I’ll vote.
