Saturday Night Live chose to get in on the fun surrounding the conversation on Chrysler’s Super Bowl ad featuring Clint Eastwood in its latest episode.
The NBC comedy show made three ads in response to whether the original commercial was a political nod to President Barack Obama or not.
“I tried to make an inspiring ad to rally our country, but you dummies in the media thought it was about politics,” the fake Eastwood said. “Well guess what, halftime is over. We’re in the third quarter America, and we’re way behind. So I don’t care if Obama runs the ball, or Romney throws a touchdown or Ron Paul kicks a field goal with his tiny little chicken legs.”
“I’ll tell you right now though, I ain’t putting Santorum in the game. He can stand on the sideline doing cheers in his little sweater vest. Pussy!”
