Loose Canon: Hillary Rodham Clinton
Added 2016-09-23 22:29:42 +0000 UTC
I decided to go with a safe topic. :)
And this one comes with a CONTEST!! Notice how this has the words "Hillary" and "Clinton" in it, and how that tends to correlate with a certain, shall we say, turbulence vis a vis the YouTube like bar? Well let's turn it into a bet!
Leave a comment with your prediction for the final like/dislike ratio for this video on YouTube by the beginning of next month (October)! Place your prediction in the comments in the form of, for instance, "Like 50%/Dislike 50%." The person who gets the closest to the final percentage by October 1 wins an actual physical prize!!
95% like 5% dislike
2016-10-01 08:53:56 +0000 UTC
I'm saying 92% like, 8 % dislike. I am *fashionably* late to this party
2016-09-30 04:00:16 +0000 UTC
Like 82% dislike 18%
2016-09-29 21:44:33 +0000 UTC
Like 90$, dislike 10% - no so much a reflection of a like/dislike of Hilary, but a like/dislike of your commentary and video editing skills ;)

This was really great. You dug pretty deep, but the whole thing was pretty unbiased. Great work on this one.
2016-09-27 05:51:22 +0000 UTC
One of your best loose canons so far, so glad you did this one!
2016-09-27 03:49:20 +0000 UTC
Like 71%, Dislike 29%, at least until October. After that, I feel like it might invert.

88% like, 12% dislike. because I'm hopelessly optimistic and as a loose tie in to the Trump=Biff Tannen thing. Regarding the inconsistency of impersonations, could it also be related to Hillary's adaptability/need to reinvent herself for different roles. I'm a long way away, but my impression of First Lady vs. Secretary of State vs presidential candidate are very different.

15% dislike, 85% like. Not actually quite that optimistic, but I think it'll be around there, and so far I didn't see others commenting with those numbers. :)
2016-09-25 21:47:08 +0000 UTC
39%/61%. So hard to find one that isn't taken. Bright side maybe you'll make extra money from conservative hate shares :)
2016-09-25 20:58:01 +0000 UTC
99% Like. I would be shocked if something this unbiased was controversial.

Great episode! My prediction is 80% Like/20%Dislike
2016-09-25 10:23:57 +0000 UTC
I'll be more generous than these guys. 79% like, 21% dislike

2016-09-24 23:24:49 +0000 UTC
I'll go with a pretty steep 97% / 3%!
I think people that truly dislike Hillary will be the ones most likely to vote - and they will enjoy the non stop power hungry parody as that serves THEIR idea of Hilldawg.
2016-09-24 21:49:19 +0000 UTC
Prediction? Pain. (36% Like 64% Dislike).

I think due to certain election thing you may want to disable the comments to save you from certain individuals. I'm going to hazard a guess that it may be more positive (maybe 75%) since you are covering depictions of HRC not HRC herself nor are you showing a political bias towards her.
2016-09-24 17:40:07 +0000 UTC
Interesting! I'm surprised how many of these references were "surprisingly restrained," to be honest. I kind of expected even more vitriol than we saw.

Hmmmmmmm, that's a really hard to judge prediction. Maybe something along the lines of

It's super hard to tell how knee-jerk a reaction to something like this will be.

2016-09-24 02:52:57 +0000 UTC

He was one of the funniest people ever to come out of SNL and it has been so long now since he died that an entire generation probably has no idea who he is. Damn millennials and their being born to late to remember him!

Really solid and interesting review of some of the presentations. I really like how you ended the segment pointing out how there isn't one singular character of Secretary Clinton. She does seem to be more defined by those around her then other politicos. I suppose there are any number of reasons for this: longevity in the spotlight, lazy writing, the needs of the current joke, or that she's a complex persona. Any which way you slice it though this was a great break down of comedic interpretations showing Clinton from a lot of interesting comedic perspectives. Thanks for putting it out there.
I'll vote 58% Like 42% Dislike for no good reason

I predict 67% up, 33% down. I also predict a copy and pasted Pro-Trump, Anti-Clinton propaganda, a poorly constructed comment belittling Clinton using the label "Killary" or "Shillary," a dismissive comment Pro-Trump admonishing liberals and mass media, even though the latter with the free media all but guaranteed him the nomination, and of course one ignorant 'STEIN 2016' comment.
