Election time is sweeps week for the satirist (and a pretty important time for politics as well). If there’s one commonality between most major internet videos, it’s that they’re all parodies of political figures.
This year, the stage belongs to one particular politician, Sarah Palin. It all started when Jon Stewart compared Palin to Tina Fey on The Daily Show, an observation that the everyone in this world has since claimed as their own (yes, you’re all guilty). Naturally, it wasn’t long before Fey herself caught on and wrote herself into this Saturday Night Live skit.
Things heated up in the next few weeks on SNL, as Sarah Palin herself appeared on the show alongside Tina Fey:
On the same Daily Show, Stewart also likened Palin to the subject of a late-night Cinemax movie. The good folks at Hustler have made that a reality with their soon-to-be-released film, “Who’s Nailin’ Paylin? Adventures of a Hockey MILF.”
Nice. At first glance, the video is just another silly Palin spoof, but the Hustler watermark in the bottom right corner says it all.
Clips from the production have already popped up on the web, along with the full script*. Do indulge on this small sampling of “Nailin’ Paylin.” Trust me, it’s all safe for work (as in no nudity).
*Note: The original version I saw, which was a little longer and more hysterical, had a special ending. Here it is, for posterity’s sake.
