Elizabeth Warren Slammed In “The Artist” Parody: “The Elitist”

7:30 pm, February 29th | by Laura Donovan


Criticizing political figures through “The Artist” parodies seems to be a growing trend this election season. A video under the MassStateGOP YouTube account posted a black and white joke video Wednesday titled “The Elitist,” an allusion to Oscar winning film, “The Artist” and swipe at Massachusetts Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren.

The clip opens with an image of southern California’s famous Hollywood mountain and a narrator saying, “Hollywood has a new ‘It Girl’” before cutting to a photo of Warren, who is scheduled to attend a Santa Monica fundraiser at the home of an entertainment lawyer this week. The video also flashes pictures of singer Barbra Streisand and comedian Danny DeVito, both of whom have voiced support for Warren. The movie takes shots at Warren mainly for her Tinseltown ties and popularity, but also notes her support for Occupy Wall Street.

This video was posted online just days after Chris Matthews released a teaser video titled, “Mitt Romney in ‘The Artist’: Better Off Mute,” which starts off as a black and white silent film and deteriorates once presidential contender Romney starts talking and spews a nonsensical sentence. The draw and humor of Matthews’ video is its silence, and the Warren video below would have a punchier, more entertaining effect if it were silent as well.

Watch both videos and tell us which “Artist” parody is better to you:

    Dang, that’s funny. I expect Brown to win again, he is the better candidate by far.

    Brown doesn’t have a chance.  Hollywood is behind her in a state that made the Kennedy’s famous.

    If more people continue to awaken, the Republican’ts may just take a drubbing this fall. We progressives can make a difference in the lives of ordinary (not ultra-wealthy) Americans if we don’t get discouraged or complacent. Get everyone you know to vote. When Americans vote in large numbers, Democrats win. Here’s to Senator Elizabeth Warren!

    Warren for Senate 2012 will be a race to watch, Brown is going to lose and probably by more than 12 points, he voted lock step GOP this week on the Blunt amendment while claiming it was what Ted Kennedy wished/or would do if he were still in the Senate, at home they are not looking at him favorably and he made a political decision to join the GOP war on womens rights. That aint going to help in Massachusetts.

    Strange times breed the same political actions, crazy ads from crazy people.

    in the year of a presidential election it would take split tickets for Brown to win.  That is a very difficult thing to accomplish.

    Lame.
    Why are all conservative attempts at being clever such massive failures?
