If you've never seen Guy Smiley just imagine Tom Brokaw, but only funnier and more honest.
Here at The Daily Plunge I’ve had a lot of fun with mascots. A recent CBS poll says that 7 out of 10 Americans are dissatisfied with our politicians in Washington. It’s easy to pick on politicians. They do it to themselves. No one represents American politicians better than Guy Smiley. Here’s a guy that never says anything important and is in love with himself. The sad part is Guy Smiley is a fictional creation and the current occupant of the White House is only slightly more qualified to be President… emphasis on slightly.
Guy Smiley knows his job is important and he knows he’s the best. Every successfully politician is in love with themselves. It’s a prerequisite for the position. When Guy Smiley introduces himself he goes all the way.
Thank you. This is Guy Smiley, American’s favorite game show host.
The only thing missing is Hail to the Chief. Below I’ve attached a video from a classic Sesame Street skit “What’s My Job?” Hidden in this video around the 3:04 mark in a gem for the ages.
Guy Smiley: His important job is like mine, only he doesn’t do it as well.
Contestant: Is he the President of the United States?
Guy Smiley: Ah, close but you all guessed wrong.
The answer Guy Smiley was looking for was Sonny Friendly, but I think the contestant’s answer is actually better. Maybe it’s just the economy, but I’m hoping Americans start taking their politicians a bit more seriously. If we don’t, we’ll continue to be represented by a legion of morons who are less appealing than Guy Smiley.
