Liberal Party unveils one weird political ad to rule them all – Mumbrella

With just one week left before Australia decides, Dr Mumbo has again been flummoxed by a blockbuster-themed political ad coming out of the Liberal Party campaign headquarters.

The only viable explanation for this could be campaign staffers sitting around comparing Gollum impressions. However, Dr Mumbo can only wonder whether this was a good use of what precious time they have left before polling day.

The ad shows a cartoon spoof of Anthony Albanese as Gollum in red shorts, going on about taxes and Albo flip-flopping over coal.

It is not the first strange ad to crop up on the Liberal Partys YouTube page in recent weeks, with The Amateurs film trailer seeing a release a fortnight ago.

It was a Tolkein-themed evening for the two leading political parties, with the ALP also opting for a Gollum comparison, just hours before.

Dr Mumbo enquired about who was behind the Liberal Partys spoof video, but has not received a response.
