Can someone get Charles McCall some Ozempic? His food obsession has got to stop!
Late last week, I noticed on social media that Oklahoma gubernatorial candidate Charles McCall had released a new campaign ad.
This time around, instead of using a sliced banana as a metaphor for gender reassignment surgery, he chows down on a “beef burger” while blaming former President Joe Biden for the rapid rise in food, gas, and insurance costs – even though a lot of that has continued or gotten worse under Donald Trump.
Check this out:
Serious question – what is up with this guy’s food obsession? I get Oklahomans are fat, but that doesn’t mean you have to tie food to everything. First the banana, now burgers – what’s next… bratwurst? I’m almost afraid to find out what weird analogy he’d cook up for that one!
Anyway, out of all the unattainable promises, unfair criticisms, and mounted deer heads – and there were plenty of all three – that appeared in that commercial, I thought the most disturbing thing was how McCall ate his hamburger.
Check out this weird bite he took from the side:
Listen, I know it’s low-hanging fruit to mock the way a stiff politician tries to eat “people food” – New York has made an entire cottage industry out of critiquing how their politicians eat pizza – but what psycho takes a random bite from the side of a half-eaten burger?
Even the CEO of McDonald's would probably take one look at that and say, “Yeah… that’s not how you eat a burger.”
Seriously, once the bite path has been established, you have to follow it and work your way through symmetrically and evenly. You don’t just veer off course and attack it from a new angle. Even a tofu-grilling, kombucha-chugging liberal vegan who’s never touched a real-life onion burger from J&W Grill knows that!
I guess that’s another dumb thing about the commercial – it doesn’t appear McCall is eating a famed onion burger.
Hell, based on the number of deer heads on the wall, he may not have been eating a hamburger at all.
Seriously, what taxidermy-themed restaurant was that? Big Buck Hunter’s Bar and Grill? Bambi’s Diner? Wherever it is, let us know in the comments so we can send Louis to check it out.
Anyway, I guess it will be interesting to see if this commercial – and an oddly eaten burger – will better convert people to Charles McCall than his crazed banana slicer ad.
When the banana foster sauce settled on that one, he was trapped in a three-way tie for second place. Who knows? Maybe this will further cut into Gentner’s beef burger enthusiast base.
