JD Vance mocked for cringeworthy "Big Buck World" publicity stunt

Every time the MAGA VP candidate tries to come across as a relatable person he ends up revealing just how slimy, opportunistic, hypocritical, boot-licking, craven, and phony he really is.

Incel hero JD Vance pretends to play a video game he's never heard of

Poor JD Vance can't catch a break. Every time the MAGA VP candidate tries to come across as a relatable person in the vein of a Tim Walz, he instead reveals just how much of a slimy, opportunistic, hypocritical, boot-licking, craven, venal, sanctimonious, unctuous phony he really is.

Take, for instance, a TikTok video JD's team produced to make him seem like a regular guy who likes to blow off a little steam playing video games. He's awkwardly holding a toy rifle in front of a Big Buck World arcade machine while coquettishly looking over his shoulder and woodenly reciting a canned jab at Tim Walz.

Daily Show writer Matt Negrin analyzed the video, and it should come as no surprise that it is full of clues revealing Vance is a lying, out-of-touch, fraudulent asshat:

Vance incorrectly called the game "Buck Hunter" when it's actually "Big Buck World"

"Here's the thing – this game is not called 'Buck Hunter.' It's called 'Big Buck World.' There is a game called 'Big Buck Hunter,' which came out in 2000, but that's not this game… No one calls this 'Buck Hunter.' People who play this game just don't call it that," said Negrin. "I get that that seems like, really small, but JD Vance has never played this game in his life. He wouldn't call it that if he had."
