Michael Cera in a music video for the Islands directed by TV Carnage? Sounds like someone is getting all his ducks in a row before officially announcing his run for King of Bushwick!
I predict that in the future, when the lines between public and private life have blurred completely, and the national obsession with celebrity culture has become so overwhelming that it’s simply a natural immutable fact of being an engaged member of human society, that the presidential race will come down to three candidates: Michael Cera*, Fred, and Justin Bieber. It will come down to factional differences in political pop-culture belief systems, namely the perennial political argument of who you want for a president: someone who wears hoodies, someone who wears t-shirts with his name on them, or someone who wears pointy toed leather boots and button-downs with dragons silk-screened across the back with microphones in their talons?
I just hope that Michael Cera’s campaign provides voters with an obvious enough choice after eight miserable years of President Dane Cook. Pizza is on the way! Yes we Carles! The MP3 of “No You Don’t” is available at http://www.stereogum.com.
*I know that Michael Cera is Canadian, but by this point it won’t matter because President Schwarzenegger will have long ago convinced the Pepsi Congress to change the citizenship requirement laws.

Justin Bieber is Canadian too.
Don’t know why this was down voted. Very valid point!
I am being punished for knowing too much.
Michael Cera’s face with someone else’s mouth singing a song is the content of my nightmares. My 80′s music video nightmares.
Also, I’m glad I’ll be dead by the time those elections you’re predicting comes.
with any luck we’ll all be dead. 2012.
these new anti drug PSAs are really getting out there.
I’m actually running for a position in Pepsi Congress. Hopefully I get enough votes in the Electoral Webkinz college.
Just be sure to make Pepsi Points our official currency, okay? Harrier jets for everyone.
I will use that as my running platform.
Catocalypse_now for Pepsi Congress 2012…THE PEPSI POINTS WILL FLOW LIKE COCA COLA.
Bringing up the Harrier Jet makes me have flashbacks to my first-year Contracts class and the Pepsi points lawsuit. Any other Monster Lawyers out there?
Ahem…it’s “Islands” not, “THE Islands”….but I still love you Gabe. No, really, like every other monster…I love you.
I was going to say that, but then I remembered that the first time I heard the song I heard the lyric as “don’t buy a dog from a man you don’t know”, so peace love and understanding oh ten etc.
Cut him some slack. You know how old people are always sticking “the” on band names where it doesn’t belong. “Hey guys, are you listening to the new CD by the Animal Collectives?” “Geez, dad, shut up! You’re embarrassing me!”
Why is Liberace selling drugs to Michael Cera?
I like watching Michael Cera in things now. Especially after rewatching season one of AD and realizing how ugly he used to me. Really ugly! But now he’s okay and it’s not hard at all to look at him.
I’m no real fan of Bieber, but the influx of undocumented rhinestone wizards stealing our jobs, doing sparkle-battle in our cities and driving our double-cab pick-up trucks is exactly what is ruining this fine (disney)land.
I’m afraid I can’t give my vote to anyone who supports (hugs/is transformed into) those sparkly bastards.
All this celebrity-president talk has me worried. Anyone else think that Jeff Dunham’s show was canceled to allow him to work on his run for office?
the fact that michael cera calls tripping balls pop-pop tells me that he’s not ready.
I’m getting a little Michael Cera-ed out. *winces in anticipation of downvotes* I mean, maybe i watched too much Arrested Development during the holidays, but with promos for his movie running non-stop and then they have him “interviewed” on the Adult Swim and popping up with the “kids” from Jersey Shore, it’s like, yeah, I see you. Don’t worry, people still like you. Not so much me right now, but y’know…others.
Not to get all prof. whatever, but the change in the presidential citizenship requirements means amendment to the Tostitos Brand Tortilla Chips Constitution, which, as I’m sure you know, cannot be accomplished by act of Pepsi Congress alone. It will require ratification by the boards of directors of 3/4 of the survivors of the franchise wars.
Im not sure if this is supposed to make me want to take drugs or not… I mean its a celebrity doing it, but its also Michael Cera…. Then there’s the “Khartum Winnipeg” jacket, which is relevant because I was born in Winnipeg… Add in the indie-rock quotient and I am left very confused about my next action.
When is the news gonna break that Michael Cera is officially a eunuch? He’s been playing a 16 year old for like 9 years now.
In 2010, Michael Cera will “go hard.” Mostly because he’s easily aroused (eww alert!).
2010 is the year of the awkward hipster-ish man-boy who annotates everything we see, hear or do.
YEARGH! I HATE FRED!
I forgot what it was, but as soon as I followed the link I was like, “YEARGH! I HATE FRED!”
Are we sure that’s really Michael Cera? I mean, he didn’t have on a plaid tucked-in shirt.
Fun Fact #1: Back during the Nick & Norah’s press push, Michael did a MySpace blip listing his all-time Fave Five albums. One was Islands’ Return To The Sea, and another was Who Will Cut Our Hair When We’re Gone by Unicorns (Nick Thorburn of Islands’ previous band). So he goes a little deeper with Nick than he does Jersey Shore, at least.
Fun Fact #2: The music playing on the set when Cera was doing the silly shadow dance for the DVD menu to Superbad? The Unicorns! And that’s all the Michael Cera geekery I have for today.
I can’t believe you ref’d Carles
And in a Obama slogan joke, no less.
I’m still a little bit confused as to why Nick Thorburn is now dressing like he is the lead singer of Question Mark and the Mysterians. What happened?
Michael Cera makes drugs look so boring. Minus the rhinestone face part. I would like a rhinestone face.
I want to vote for David After Dentist in the future.
So much Cera love. Why don’t you just go and change it to What’s Up With Michael Cera?
Topher be pissed.
The fact that you posted this twice makes it even MORE affective… Right?
