Well... regardless of what party you are with... you have to admit this video is pretty funny! This is by SyntheticHuman Productions... it's of a pretty high level. I am impressed with the quality of what they've made here...

I watched in 3 times and could not stop laughing... Digg city!!!
On a serious note - i think the video has a very "high quality" production feel - in part because they do a very good job of using B-Roll footage in transitions between scenes. For example - when the gal talks about the food in the supermarket - her voice starts when the scene is on the stack of apples... and a hand reaches in and picks out an apple... then it transitions to her talking.
That is a very professional use of B-roll to explain where the new speaker is, and ground the viewer in the context. Same thing happens with the Mom and her little girl in the video - sending her off on the school bus with the lunch pail.
In fact - I would argue that it is the B-Roll transitions that really mark this as an excellent quality professional production. Shooting all those extra bits takes time, effort, and skill - and the editing has to be done right. But the results certainly show!!
