So-called comedians Will Ferrell and Billy Eichner campaigned for Kamala Harris by hitting the streets as “Loud White Men for Kamala,” asking random people in New York City questions like whether they would have sex with a Trump supporter.
Eichner shared a clip of the new campaign on his X page. “BILLY ON THE STREET IS BACK with WILL FERRELL!!! LOUD WHITE MEN FOR KAMALA!!! LET’S GO!!!!!!!” he wrote in the caption.

The included video showed the two comedians approaching men and women on the street, asking various questions such as, “Who are you voting for?” When one person says he voted for Harris via mail in ballot, Eichner shouts, “Yeah, mail in ballot, b***!”
He approaches a woman and says, “Miss, for a dollar, would you have sex with a Trump voter?”
She responds, “No!” and makes a disgusted face.

“Thank you,” Eichner says.
He asks another woman the same question, prompting her to reply, “Blah.”
At another point, Eichner jokes that if Harris wins, she would “make Buddy the Elf Secretary of Christmas,” referencing Ferrell’s leading role in the 2003 comedy “Elf.”
Social media reactions to the bit pointed out that the whole thing appeared forced and potentially staged.
“I’m embarrassed I even watched this,” one response said.
“Every male in the video looks EXACTLY like I thought they would. almost (sic) like they were typecast actors,” another viewer observed.
“Congratulations on turning more people off than you convinced,” another comment said.
“One of the cringiest things I’ve ever watched,” another person agreed.
The “Anchorman” star released another video campaigning for Harris earlier this week, saying, “This election is going to be one of the closest in history. Your vote will make the difference.”
“Last time, only a few thousand votes kept Trump out of office. And this time, we will hold you personally responsible, Gary,” Ferrell continues, referencing a character he played on “Saturday Night Live.
