# Political Spoof Musicals Les Misbarack Mocks Sarah Palin, Obama, McCain By Going Like Sixty | Published 2008-09-15 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/viral-political-parody-mccain-visit-obama-office-sings-one-more-day References: [youtube](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3ijYVyhnn0) **Les Misbarack** is a parody of what an Obama campaign office might look like with “One More Day” a song from *Les Miserables.* “John McCain” and “Sarah Palin” show up to lend their voices too. This is my favorite kind of parody: Take professional singers, put them in an unlikely situation or place and let them [break into song](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chazmo-the-musical)! The Sarah Palin wannabe is very close to the best imitator yet. **Implications** - From her quirky voice to her physical attire, she nails the Alaskan governor's mannerisms down to a tee and I can't help but laugh for three minutes straight whenever I watch this fun [parody video](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/satirifyme). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.0/10 - Popularity: 12% | Activity: 70% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Media](https://www.trendhunter.com/media) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Parody Musicals:** Creating comedic musicals that parody political figures can provide entertainment and a unique commentary on current events. - **Celebrity Impersonators:** Using professional singers to imitate famous personalities in comedic videos can generate viral content and engage audiences. - **Political Satire:** Producing satirical content that humorously highlights politicians' mannerisms and behaviors can serve as a form of social and political commentary. ### Where This Applies - **Entertainment:** Parody musicals have the potential to attract a wide audience, generating revenue through ticket sales, streaming platforms, and merchandise. - **Digital Media:** The rise of social media platforms provides a ready-made audience for viral musical parodies, allowing for monetization through ad revenue and partnerships. - **Political Commentary:** Political satire has the ability to engage and educate audiences about current political events and encourage discussion, fostering a market for shows and content that cater to this interest. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Mini Musical Productivity Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-big-meeting.md) - [Catchy Basked Pasta Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/noodles-cos-chicken-parmesan.md) - [Flavor-Fueled Short Films](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mccain-masala-movie.md) - [Personalized Video Cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/video-cards.md) - [Parody-Themed Pinball Machines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pinball-game.md) - [Trash-Centric Musical Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glad-x-sesame-street.md) - [Comedic Christmas Parodies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reinfell-ad.md) - [Rewritten Christmas Song Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hijacking-christmas.md) - [Beauty Crime Mockumentaries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cosmetic-criminals.md)
