Tucking Crazy - The Lincoln Project

1. Ugh. This is juvenile and beneath their usual standards.

I'm sure the video editor had fun making it... but if TLP gets a reputation for making this type of silly gag-reel video, then it undercuts the important work and messaging that they've done in the past. (The voice-over at the end was garbled and unintelligible too... could that have been this video's saving-grace? Was it muffled because of my poor hearing?)

2. On the contrary,

I believe the Lincoln Project is hoping this is seen by the conservative base. It speaks to them in their own silly gag reel language, appealing to their simplistic, knee-jerk nature. I'm sure the conservative base really believes Larry hit Moe in the head with a hammer.

3. Seriously? What's the message?

Seriously? What's the message? What are they saying to the "conservative base" by sampling and beat-boxing a couple of clips of Carlson shouting and laughing?

It's not clever or funny. It's just silly and self-indulgent on their behalf. Obviously, not a lot of thought went into this, and it diminishes TLP as a source of thoughtful, truthful, hard-hitting, and blunt/direct messaging.

4. Agreed

It is not clever, funny or worth the time to watch. And as you say, it diminishes TLP.

6. Conservatives have a thing for slapstick name calling.

Remember the purple Band-Aids at the Republican Nation Convention back when Kerry was running for President? The message to them in their own language is "Tucker is an idiot". If you just called him an idiot in plain English, they'd go defensive.

8. Ahh... name-calling. If true, then the people at TLP have diminished themselves...

... in the search for the lowest common denominator.

5. I agree definitely aims low in the audience scale for taste, wit or sense. Even Road Runner has a

higher standard.
