Loose Canon: Hillary Rodham Clinton
🕑 Added 2016-09-23 22:29:42 +0000 UTC I decided to go with a safe topic. :)And this one comes with a CONTEST!! Notice how this has the words "Hillary" and "Clinton" in it, and how that tends to correlate with a certain, shall we say, turbulence vis a vis the YouTube like bar? Well let's turn it into a bet!
Leave a comment with your prediction for the final like/dislike ratio for this video on YouTube by the beginning of next month (October)! Place your prediction in the comments in the form of, for instance, "Like 50%/Dislike 50%." The person who gets the closest to the final percentage by October 1 wins an actual physical prize!!

95% like 5% dislike
I'm saying 92% like, 8 % dislike. I am *fashionably* late to this party
Like 82% dislike 18%
LeftOn4ya
Like 90$, dislike 10% - no so much a reflection of a like/dislike of Hilary, but a like/dislike of your commentary and video editing skills ;)
Occam's Blazer
Like 82% / Dislike 18% (the eternal optimist)
This was really great. You dug pretty deep, but the whole thing was pretty unbiased. Great work on this one.
One of your best loose canons so far, so glad you did this one!
Aaron Yi
Like 71%, Dislike 29%, at least until October. After that, I feel like it might invert.
Josh Spicer
37% dislike, 63% like
Dean Madden
88% like, 12% dislike. because I'm hopelessly optimistic and as a loose tie in to the Trump=Biff Tannen thing. Regarding the inconsistency of impersonations, could it also be related to Hillary's adaptability/need to reinvent herself for different roles. I'm a long way away, but my impression of First Lady vs. Secretary of State vs presidential candidate are very different.

15% dislike, 85% like. Not actually quite that optimistic, but I think it'll be around there, and so far I didn't see others commenting with those numbers. :)
39%/61%. So hard to find one that isn't taken. Bright side maybe you'll make extra money from conservative hate shares :)
99% Like. I would be shocked if something this unbiased was controversial.
Great episode! My prediction is 80% Like/20%Dislike
I'll be more generous than these guys. 79% like, 21% dislike BTW I remember that animaniacs episode. It WAS Hillary in the chair!
51% like, 49% dislike
Taylor
My guess is 71% likes/29% dislikes.
63% likes, 37% dislikes
Lily Schmidt
77% likes, 23% dislikes
The "Mirror" campaign add is currently at 35% likes 65% dislikes (15.429 vs 28.593) so I'll bet for a similar number
I'll go with a pretty steep 97% / 3%! I think people that truly dislike Hillary will be the ones most likely to vote - and they will enjoy the non stop power hungry parody as that serves THEIR idea of Hilldawg.
Stephen Brealey
Prediction? Pain. (36% Like 64% Dislike).
Lindsay Ellis
I don't have any special rage triggers with this like I do 9/11 trutherism, I'm honestly numb to most of the bullshit, so unless shit gets REALLY bad, I don't really care. We'll see how it plays out.
Lindsay Ellis
I try. ;)
42% positive/58% negative

10% like 90% dislike. Oh lindsay, you just have no fucks to give.
I think due to certain election thing you may want to disable the comments to save you from certain individuals. I'm going to hazard a guess that it may be more positive (maybe 75%) since you are covering depictions of HRC not HRC herself nor are you showing a political bias towards her.

Interesting! I'm surprised how many of these references were "surprisingly restrained," to be honest. I kind of expected even more vitriol than we saw.

Zane
Hmmmmmmm, that's a really hard to judge prediction. Maybe something along the lines of Like 38%/Dislike 62%? It's super hard to tell how knee-jerk a reaction to something like this will be.
100% like / 0% dislike. Now do Trump. There has to be plenty of sketch comedy and other pop culture references from the last 30 years to work up an episode.

Amy
65% like 35% dislike I have no idea
36 like 64 dislike. Have a feeling a lot of people will see the title and not watch the video at all. Which is a shame because I found it incredibly informative. As a not-American it's been really interesting to watch the US public opinion shift on Hillary so frequently for decades.
Anessa B
74% Like/26% dislike you weren't supporting or bashing her, so I don't think it's going to be that polarizing. But you never know with YT
56% Like/44% Dislike, but I'm honestly guessing.
Sophie S.
59% like, 41% dislike. i feel like such a pessimist, but i've been seeing some crazy shit on youtube

Kyle Williams
Lindsay has a reputation in basement dwelling troll circles as being a man hating SJW, so she'll attract hate from that alone.
Kyle Williams
23 like/77 dislike. Seeing Phil Hartman made me sad as it always does since his murder. He was one of the funniest people ever to come out of SNL and it has been so long now since he died that an entire generation probably has no idea who he is. Damn millennials and their being born to late to remember him!

Greg Walters
55/45 unless she wins, then 20/80 from sour grapes. The 'southern belle' /thing/ in southpark was from a nontroversy where some news reporter didn't liek that she said y'all in a speech in south carolina or something.

I'm thinking more 80%likes/20%dislikes. There wasn't anything particularly offensive in the video but as it's political I anticipate some unexplainable hate.
65% likes /35% dislikes

28 Like/72 Dislike. I'm going to take this bet because there's nothing alt-right types are better at than downvoting videos on youtube.

Really solid and interesting review of some of the presentations. I really like how you ended the segment pointing out how there isn't one singular character of Secretary Clinton. She does seem to be more defined by those around her then other politicos. I suppose there are any number of reasons for this: longevity in the spotlight, lazy writing, the needs of the current joke, or that she's a complex persona. Any which way you slice it though this was a great break down of comedic interpretations showing Clinton from a lot of interesting comedic perspectives. Thanks for putting it out there. I'll vote 58% Like 42% Dislike for no good reason

To add, This video about Hillary Clinton on Vox (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hIFDaGs8l8)" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hIFDaGs8l8)</a> have about 63% likes and 37% Dislikes.
Grey
I wager 75% like/25% dislike, because heck, I'm an optimist
Taylor Costello
I predict 67% up, 33% down. I also predict a copy and pasted Pro-Trump, Anti-Clinton propaganda, a poorly constructed comment belittling Clinton using the label "Killary" or "Shillary," a dismissive comment Pro-Trump admonishing liberals and mass media, even though the latter with the free media all but guaranteed him the nomination, and of course one ignorant 'STEIN 2016' comment.
Reuben
Since your videos mostly seem to get predominantly likes, I'm gonna be optimistic that this ends up around 83% like, 17% dislike.
72% dislike, 28% like, thanks to the waves of angry people on youtube that just hate to see a woman speak but love to hit that dislike button. Also this video was fascinating, I'd forgotten half of these.
I'm going with 54% Like, 46% Dislike.
Courtney Simpson
81.4% dislike, 18.6% like. (I haven't even watched it yet, but that's how little faith I have in the humanity of YouTube commenters.)
Bardcraft
approximately 60% Likes 40% Dislike. Majority of the likes will be from your fans while the 40% hate watch your show or random joe off the streets of Youtube that somehow watched this video.
27.32% Like / 72.68% Dislike
Oh shucks, now I see that someone else has said 63/37. I'm gonna say 62/38 in case you need to have a different bet.
Lindsay Ellis
This is the best comment I could ever hope for.
I vote 63% like, 37% dislike.
Aaron Porter
Oh, man... I feel like that contingent will descend like a wave of deplorables. 41% Like / 59% Dislike
63%Like/37%dislike
Christian Samples
75% like/ 25% dislike
oh wow. I'm gonna predict Like 30%/Dislike 70% because most of Clinton's support is in the upper-age (quasi-non-Internet) demographic. (To be clear, I'm thinking most people are just going to react to Clinton's name, regardless of what the video's actually focusing on.)
Dyce
65% Like/35% dislike. I'm an optimist though.
Oh my, I'm gonna go with 45% likes, 55% dislikes.
