What insights do undecided voters have?

All right, welcome to our focus group of undecided voters. Thank you for coming to our marketing research offices. I want to stress that there is nobody masturbating behind this two-way mirror, no matter what you hear. So, as undecideds, let's go around the room. Tell us your name and what your f***ing problem is.
Interviewee 3 0:47
We've never had worse choices, in my opinion.
Commentator 1 0:49
I don't like either candidate. Same as other people said, I'm not really crazy about either candidate.

Why are voters feeling confused about candidates?

OK, I see some of you feel you need more information about the candidates. And I get it. We know so little about Trump and Biden. Apart from their campaign issues, their actions as president, their handling of the global pandemic, their criminal indictments, whom they've showered with, and a very detailed description of Trump's penis from a former porn star. But we still don't know. Okay. If you're leaning towards Biden, please raise your hand. If you're leaning towards Biden, if you're leaning toward Trump, raise your hand. Okay, raise it at a 45-degree angle, please. A little straighter. Don't bend the elbow. That's good. It's a Hitler joke. You see, because you support a fascist. All right, we're having fun. Okay, raise your hand if you feel like voters are easily manipulated.
Who doesn't think so? Okay, now lower your hands. Okay, now raise them again. Okay, now lower them again. Raise them up one more time. Raise both hands. Now lower one. Now everyone say, I cannot be manipulated. Which candidate would you have a beer with? Trump. Trump.

Trump.
Which candidate would you go to a baseball game with?
Commentator 1 2:30
Biden.

How do voters perceive candidate choices?

Biden.
Commentator 1 2:32
Trump.
Trump.
Commentator 1 2:32
Trump.
Which candidate would you let eat sugar cubes out of your hand? Why? More gummy? Less likely to bite you? Yeah. Gentle. Gentle. Which candidate would you want to be behind in a human centipede? And keep in mind, no matter what you answer, we will all think you're disgusting. Okay, this is tough, guys. I mean, I sense you find yourselves undecided about a lot of things. My problem is I'm not sure which one's gonna die first. Thomas, I just have to ask, why are you struggling with this decision when you had no problem deciding to leave the barbershop with those sideburns? Seriously. It's like my mom always used to say, shit or get off the lawn. It's your civic duty. Yes. Would you agree with that?
Interviewee 2 3:23
Yes, I would agree with that.
What is your gut telling you? I mean, other than seatbelts do not come in my size.

What humorous comparisons are made about the candidates?

Interviewee 3 3:31
I can't trust Biden or Trump, so I like RFK.
RFK Jr., interesting. Also known as the evidence that the Kennedys f*** each other. Okay, maybe this will help you guys decide between the candidates. Here are two sandwiches, all right? One is old and moldy, and the other has chlamydia. Raise your hand if you're eating the sandwich on its deathbed, or raise your left hand if you want the sandwich that we have on tape using the N-word. Okay, they're having their first debate. Do you hope the moderators will ask Trump and Biden the really tough questions, like, do you know where you are, and can you breathe on this mirror?
Interviewee 2 4:17
They're probably going to call out each other on stuff.
Both sides are constantly saying, this is the end of democracy. Both sides agree. So maybe instead of worrying about all this voting stuff, we should just decide on an escape plan. Does anyone have a bunker? Thomas, you look like you already live underground. Will the other mole people mind if we crash? It was time to switch tactics. Perhaps if they practiced making any kind of decision, it would prepare them for November. We've all been given Cheesecake Factory menus to share. Now take a look at them and make a choice. You can do this.
Undecided Voter 5 4:56
All right, you know what?
Interviewee 3 4:58
Forget it. Forget it.
I knew that wouldn't work. At this stage, there was only one option left. Look, you guys have barely given me anything, so I'm just going to tell you who you're voting for. Daryl, you're going to miss Election Day because there weren't any reminders on Pornhub. Pauline, you want a safer, brighter future for your children, so you're going to move to Ukraine. Thomas...
