With Mitt Romney’s relentless insistence on co-opting Friday Night Lights into his campaign platform, it makes you start to think about how he watches TV. What are our favorite shows like through this brave, and fearless man’s eyes? Who does he even like on Friday Night Lights?! Buddy Garrity, yes, but who else? (We have already covered this. His favorite character is J.D. McCoy’s dad. Let’s move forward. Change of subject we can believe in.) You just know his favorite character on The Wire is Mayor Carcetti, just because YOU KNOW (although he always gives a shout out to the shipping container full of dead prostitutes WASSSSSUUUUUUUUP?!). But so who are some of his other favorite TV characters?
- Lucile Bluth on Arrested Development
- Jerry on Parks and Recreation
- Locke on Lost
- The racist Muppet
- Hank Schrader on Breaking Bad
- The racist on Mad Men
This is fun. Is this fun? I don’t even know anymore. Who else? Who else? Vote for Mayor Royce on November TV!

Nina Garcia on Project Runway
Mr. Burns
Hahahahaha. Oh what was I laughing about again? Riiiight. When
Mitt RomneyMr. Burns crippled that Irishman.Seriously I just did a montage in my head of cruel and terrible things Monty Burns has done that directly parallel stories about Romney – animal abuse, replacing his workers with robots, denying industry’s relationship to poisoning our water and air, running for office. At least Mr. Burns had his dear Bobo… and a likable son.
Obvious, but how could you be any more accurate than this? You couldn’t.
Chuck Bass on Gossip Girl, obviously
Chuck Bass’s dad,
The Million Dollar Man
Hahaha, just kidding. The 6 Million Dollar Man.
The white guy on Outsourced
There were at least 2. You’ll have to be more specific. The cute, dumb one or the ugly, racist one?
Sarah Palin on Fox News
The baby on Family Guy
Vicki from Small Wonder
I’m not sure about tv, but I heard he waves a Mr. Potter pennant while watching It’s a Wonderful Life
You mean he forces his butler to wave it for him.
Little Carmine Lupertazzi on The Sopranos
Kate from Lost.
Kate’s his favorite character, but his favorite episode was the one with Nikki & Paolo.
Nope. His favorite episode is the one with Jack’s Tattoo.
All of the brave businessmen willing to stand up to Captain Planet.
You mean Looten Plunder, specifically. Right?

Jeff Rosso from Freaks and Geeks
Mmm, I don’t know. He probably prefers Harold Weir, small business owner and (sexist) Republican, to the hippie guidance counselor.
Probably also Alan White.
The guy who wanted to build a better Bayside by putting oil towers on the football field. You guys know this guy? Iowa probably doesn’t, they probably haven’t seen it.
Joey on Full House
Joffrey Baratheon
Also, Varys.
The Doomsday Killers on Dexter
Cylon No. 1 from Battlestar Galactica.
Also, despite his black incumbent beating powers, Tommy Carchetti was based on Martin O’Malley, an avowed LIBRUL.
Why are we saying Locke? He was too good of a character for that asshole.
But that’s what Romney’s doing- he’s liking really good characters or shows and cio-opting them, twisting their appeal and detracting from the show’s/chaarceter’s actual values and ideas.
Or not. Reading my own comment, I don’t think I even convinced myself with that explanation.
Mitt Romney is a regular guy, just like the rest of us. He has his valet put his diamond shoes on his feet one at a time.
But look at the rest of that list. That’s not what those suggest at all.
^^ This. I resent the association of Locke with Mitt Romney. Seriously. This is the first time I’ve posted on Videogum, THAT’S how serious this is.
Now if you mean Locke when he was actually the smokey man (I like to call him Keith), I can easily see that.
I’ve always liked ‘Smoke Monster Locke.’ It’s like a rap handle or something. Grand Master Flash vs. Smoke Monster (Pop’n) Locke.
And why Hank? I love Hank! Non-ironically! Even though I really, really wanted him to DEA his way into the know rather than let some lame damning evidence [literally] catch him with his pants down.
Hank from breaking bad is actually my favorite character. Seriously. Not trolling.
Whoops! I had this same idea when I read the above blurb. But didn’t read this when I posted it below.
Hank, though. Ain’t he great!?

Mr. Krabs
Mr. Krabs is just a greedy small business owner.
This guy:
Roger on Doug.
Alex P. Keaton from Family Ties.
You know what? I’ll give Mitt the benefit of the doubt and assume he knows Jack Donaghy is a parody of his ilk.
Rosie the Maid
MCP
HAL
Starscream
Also, Eric Cartman as A.W.E.S.O.M.-O 4000.
And the DJ 3000 from the Simpsons episode in which Bart gets an elephant.
All of the Cybermen on Dr. Who
You know, Hank Schrader is my absolutely favorite character on Breaking Bad. I mean, he’s hilarious. More so than the rest of those guys! I’m always gearing up for at least a guffaw when Hank’s in the scene.

TBH, I think it’s probably Ron Swanson.
Frasier on Frasier
Gunther the barista
Joffrey Baratheon
Shenaynay
Rick from The Walking Dead
Carl.
I’d say Rick’s more a George W. Bush guy. Mitt is The Governor, no duh! (I’m just going off one episode, so maybe I’m wrong, but there were striking similarities in the “room full of heads in fish tanks” department).
Mr. Belding
Team Rocket
The Gorgs from Fraggle Rock
Whoever it was that shot JR, did that ever get resolved?

Hey, I like Jerry.

Skids and Mudflap from Transformers
The mom from 7th Heaven.
Charlotte’s mother-in-law, Bunny, from Sex and the City.
Every dad in every cell phone commercial.
I believe at one point he actually said that he liked Snooki. Whether or not he described her as a “spitfire” in real life or I just think he did because of course he would, I’m not sure.
The Opposite George
Lucille Bluth IS the best character on Arrested Development tho
Leland Palmer
The Earl of Lemongrab
