The Campaign / int_1b65dfad | comment |
The Cameo: The dog from The Artist appears in a scene in which he is on the receiving end of a punch from Cam that was intended for Marty. Several throughout the movie by various real life political news anchors. Specifically, Piers Morgan and Wolf Blitzer and about a third of the anchors of MSNBC. John Goodman as the next congressman to be targeted for replacement. Pro-wrestlers The Miz and Taryn Terrell appear. The Miz had a larger role, but most of it was cut. | |

Camp Straight | |
The Campaign / int_27c09b00 | comment |
Camp Straight: The performance of Galifianakis, plus the dogs, plus the fact that he had to be proposed to (six times) as opposed to being the one to propose, combined with the broad hints that his wife isn't getting enough of, well, him, the film seems be dropping hints that Marty is secretly gay. However, the lack of a coming out scene, or a getting found out scene, and the fact that Marty is genuinely hurt by his wife's infidelity, might possibly suggest that Marty is just a really effeminate straight man with a low sex drive. | |

When Marty finally stands up to his abusive father Reynold, he tells him he was aware of the time Reynold was having an affair with another woman that looked like Dog The Bounty Hunter.

You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: The Motch brothers decide at the start of the film that Cam has become unviable as their paid politician after his sex scandal and make Marty run as a replacement. Only to discard Marty after he refuses to play along with their schemes. Glenn Motch seems rather eager to get rid of Wade, already having tried to kill him in his sleep three times and trying to feign innocence in his relationship with Wattley, putting it all on Wade. | |

Karma Houdini: Tim Wattley simply leaves during the final scene and is revealed to be an international fugitive in the epilogue. While the law is onto him, his fate is never revealed. Similarly, Marty seems to suffer no consequences from shooting his opponent in front of numerous witnesses. At best, that would've been charged as Aggravated Battery with a Firearm, but it doesn't prevent him from continuing in the election and eventually serving in Congress. | |

Expy: Cam Brady shares several traits with former US Senator John Edwards (Democrat from North Carolina known for expensive haircuts and brought down after cheating on his wife) and former U.S. president George W. Bush, while the Motch brothers are the Koch brothers (secretive billionaire CorruptCorporateExecutives known for throwing millions of dollars around to support candidates and groups that will help them in their fight against environmental and labor laws and taxes). He's also similar in many ways to Ricky Bobby in Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (also played by Will Ferrell) - both are arrogant Eagleland stereotypes in extremely shallow marriages. | |
