Bruh - die-hard liberal here, but Bush's nod killed me. Fucking perfection - he has always had such great comedic timing.

Reagan was actually paying for the microphone. Nothing awkward in that statement

I just love the way Al Gore tried to intimidate George Bush and sighed while he was speaking, and it cost him the election.

Jean Moos' voice has killed many of my brain cells

[christopherthorkon]

Back in the old days, when a little sigh or a little wink were considered unbearable. Now we have debates where a candidate interrupts his opponent repeatedly, interrupts the moderator when he asks a question, and even boasts of his own penis size. And, of course, those precious moments during which both candidates and the moderator are all talking at the exact same time. And those are the NORMAL parts of the debate!

[TechnologicallyTechnical]

The constant interruption of the clips with redundant narration is really what ties this video together.

My God, this reporters voice sounds like the chalkboard came alive and screamed while someone was dragging a garden rake across it

[captainkirrahe]

Man, 2020 really blew these moments out of the water

“You know what a televised debate isn’t the time for, checking the time” Joe Biden needed to watch this video before the debate
