kandinski: John Oliver's new show makes fun of cool hipster dad GOP ads. kandinski: I like how the mockery actors direct reading from a placard offscreen is not more blatant than the way the actors in the original ads read theirs. kandinski: The original ads are totes like your dad reading up on the slang of today's youth, and using it all during a single dinner conversation, minus the slang, and your dad hired an actor, because he's not really your dad, but the industrial-propagandist arm of the Republican Party.
