Uniquely Bad Campaign Commercial

Rich points out the horrendous production problems with the Eisendrath ad quite well.

But there is another quality about it that I couldn’t quite place which transcended bad production into a classic of bad campaign advertisements. It just struck me what it was, but I had to go back to January 14, 1972 when Christopher Knight hit that awkward point in his character’s life when his voice changed–yes, the Brady Bunch sings the “Time to Change” song with Peter Brady croaking out his lyrics in a heartwarming episode about growing up and adjusting to life’s challenges.

Can’t you just see Edwin there with his lines “I love this state” and “It’s just wrong that…”

It’s Peter Brady with his voice changing. Lyrics Available here

And who the hell runs as Edwin and not Ed?
