In a world saturated with less-than-original and often downright crappy campaign ads, it’s always nice to see someone do something different. Leave it to actor Jack Nicholson to come up with a whole new concept: Use clips from your old movies to convey the message. And it works!
Although Nicholson made his endorsement public back on February 4th, this YouTube video was only released last Friday (February 29th).
Trivia: Can you correctly name all the movies that the clips are derived from? Leave us your answers in the comments!

I’m glad you posted the video. I was curious about it. I do think though that your verbal description of it was a lot better than the thing itself.
