John Jacobson, composer of “Planet Rock” and choreographer of the accompanying “Double Dream Hands” dance is also a would-be politician. Here is his campaign commercial for the congressional election of 2008:
Huh. Wonder why he didn’t win. All the pieces were there: the music, the black backdrop, the plastic head. Could it be that his hands were not DREAMY enough? Hard to tell since you couldn’t even see them. GET THOSE HANDS UP TOWARDS THE SKY, SIR, now DOUBLE PUNCH. Better. Now you run the country, congratulations. (Thanks for the tip, Dawn.)

He just ran too early. Now that he’s got videogum fame he’s a sure bet
Glad to see Gary Busey’s dentist is still getting work. Ditto Julian Assange’s hair stylist.
And here, I was just going to lazily post a picture of Gary Busey.
Don’t blame me, I voted for Keenan.
I do worry about his level of concern for children. Anyone who’s got that much pep and talks about helping the children runs the risk of being a closet Patrick Swayze in Donnie Darko
What does any of this have to do with Donna Darko?
#arewestilldoingdonnadarkojokes?
Yikes with Tykes
It looks like somebody Weird Science’d a Ken doll to life, and then aged him 20 years. I think I want to marry this guy.
You can live in his barbie dream house with him!
Well, at least now we know why he dropped the “Jingleheimer Schmidt”. He was running for Congress!
Why is he yelling at me?
How can I take his platform seriously when he even waffles on which side of his head to part his hair:

CHOOSE A SIDE, John Jacobson!
I thought this same thing. What worries me is probably that he had headshots all set up and he just decided to use one for his campaign ’cause, why not use ‘em? They’re just going to waste.
I saw no tiny flag pin. Clearly he hates America.
abortions for some, miniature american flags for others
Its even funnier in Zoidberg’s voice
Don’t blame me; I voted for Kodos.
anyone who laughs is a communist.
From is Facebook page, Interests:
“Traveling, Reading, Philanthropy, Making Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwiches for the homeless with America Sings”.
One of these things is not like the others.
He should have run a more fear-based campaign. I was startled to hear that young people have captured the internet! Someone warn NORAD!
Don’t worry, after capturing it, they released it back into its natural habitat, the murky depths of the fourcean (4chan).
Why do some people put a space between the last word in a sentence and the exclamation point?
Ex. – “Say Yes to Change in Northern California !”
My friend does this ALL THE TIME
he’s clearly a cult leader or sex offender or both
Or he just has one blond virgin buried in his backyard for each sign of the zodiac.
The voice of America says “Yes”? What was the question? And why are you so smug when you say it?
I dunno, I’m feeling a little more Dolph Lundgren and a little less Busey.
I must break… out some showtunes.
My parents were in Up With People (look it up, kiddies). I don’t really have anything else to add, here, except that this guy REALLY reminds me of Up With People.
I was in show choir in High School (GENTLEMEN!) and ditto your comment.
It’s why I can’t watch “Glee”, or enjoy the Starland Vocal Band’s “Afternoon Delight”.
Thursday night TV Thread? I need to discuss Community!
right? I had seen Senor Chang’s snowman in a preview clip but didn’t get his pervy joke at first. Whoops
That was one of the very few funny moments of it. Is it just me or have the last two weeks just been downers? I feel like they’ve been going down the lets have a show with serious morals path, when it was nothing like that at first.
yeah. I liked both episodes but I think I would’ve liked them more had they been spaced out. It is nice to see that the characters have a strong emotional connection though so that when we get back to the crazy hilarious episodes where they all turn on one another it makes sense of why they’re still friends in the end
I feel like 30 Rock touches upon the strong connections between some of the characters, with the obvious Jack & Liz. But they still manage to make it hilarious. Maybe it’s just I’m obsessed with Tina Fey and feel like barely anything compares to that show. Or, yourmom is lame.
His name is my name, too!
Wow, I’m impressed that he was able to get this guy to score his commercial:
Mr. G would be so big right now if he didn’t waste his time with such small beans!
Why do the monsters never talk about Summer Heights High? It’s GREAT! IT IS GREAT YOU GUYS!
Oh, John. You seduced me with your port de bras and your white, white shoulder rolls. But then you had to go and talk for three minutes with no dancing, and I realized: you talk exactly like a “nice” evangelial preacher with a poorly-fiting front denture. Goodbye, John.
I almost had a heart attack when he started speaking and it was THIRTEEN TIMES LOUDER THAN THE MUSIC.
