Apparently, people aren’t done making video imitations of that infamous Old Spice commercial just yet—even Sesame Street recently jumped on the bandwagon. Now Joe Miller, Alaska’s Republican Senate candidate, has made his own Old Spice Guy-inspired campaign ad.

It begins the way you’d expect an ad like this to begin: with a deep, male voice soothingly intoning, “Hello, voters. Look at your ballot. Now look at him,” Joe Miller, “now back to your ballot.”

The video, which also makes a point of mocking incumbent Lisa Murkowski, is clever, funny, and actually gets across a clear message. It also gets bonus points for referring to the Constitution as “that thing you love.” Watch the spot for yourself below.

I don’t like Joe Miller, but I think this ad is by far the best political ad I have seen this season. I wish everyone played this way.

Great Ad…I hope he wins!

When is he going to have an ad featuring the nasty voice mail from Lisa Murkowski?

I thought the “I am not a witch” ad was pretty good, but this is great.

Of course, there is an ad out there by some unknown candidate, which shows his opponent kicking a black teenager in the head. Not actually a great ad, but effective I suppose. (It was video from a soccer match, and I’m sure the kick was unintentional, but it happened.)

Wasn’t that a Canadian politician?
