I decided to go with a safe topic. :)

And this one comes with a CONTEST!! Notice how this has the words "Hillary" and "Clinton" in it, and how that tends to correlate with a certain, shall we say, turbulence vis a vis the YouTube like bar? Well let's turn it into a bet!

Leave a comment with your prediction for the final like/dislike ratio for this video on YouTube by the beginning of next month (October)! Place your prediction in the comments in the form of, for instance, "Like 50%/Dislike 50%." The person who gets the closest to the final percentage by October 1 wins an actual physical prize!!

Dycehart

65% Like/35% dislike. I'm an optimist though.

Ricky of Kokiri

oh wow. I'm gonna predict Like 30%/Dislike 70% because most of Clinton's support is in the upper-age (quasi-non-Internet) demographic. (To be clear, I'm thinking most people are just going to react to Clinton's name, regardless of what the video's actually focusing on.)

Aaron Porter

Oh, man... I feel like that contingent will descend like a wave of deplorables. 41% Like / 59% Dislike

Lindsay Ellis

This is the best comment I could ever hope for.

Amelia Maciorowska

Oh shucks, now I see that someone else has said 63/37. I'm gonna say 62/38 in case you need to have a different bet.

Bardcraft

approximately 60% Likes 40% Dislike. Majority of the likes will be from your fans while the 40% hate watch your show or random joe off the streets of Youtube that somehow watched this video.

Courtney Simpson

81.4% dislike, 18.6% like. (I haven't even watched it yet, but that's how little faith I have in the humanity of YouTube commenters.)

Quill Fuga

I'm going with 54% Like, 46% Dislike.

Susan Fry

72% dislike, 28% like, thanks to the waves of angry people on youtube that just hate to see a woman speak but love to hit that dislike button. Also this video was fascinating, I'd forgotten half of these.

Reuben

Since your videos mostly seem to get predominantly likes, I'm gonna be optimistic that this ends up around 83% like, 17% dislike.

Taylor Costello

I predict 67% up, 33% down. I also predict a copy and pasted Pro-Trump, Anti-Clinton propaganda, a poorly constructed comment belittling Clinton using the label "Killary" or "Shillary," a dismissive comment Pro-Trump admonishing liberals and mass media, even though the latter with the free media all but guaranteed him the nomination, and of course one ignorant 'STEIN 2016' comment.

Bardcraft

This video is fifteen days old.

Jessica

71% like / 29% dislike.

lithium_green

40% like, 59% dislike, 1% margin of error

Anastasia

I'm going to go VERY optimistic and say 80% likes, 20% dislikes.

Piper Malone

Really solid and interesting review of some of the presentations. I really like how you ended the segment pointing out how there isn't one singular character of Secretary Clinton. She does seem to be more defined by those around her then other politicos. I suppose there are any number of reasons for this: longevity in the spotlight, lazy writing, the needs of the current joke, or that she's a complex persona. Any which way you slice it though this was a great break down of comedic interpretations showing Clinton from a lot of interesting comedic perspectives. Thanks for putting it out there. I'll vote 58% Like 42% Dislike for no good reason

Amy B

73/27

LL

52% dislikes to 48% likes because it's been that sort of year.

TalysAlankil

I'm going to bet on 55% dislikes

Jessica Callison

69% likes and 31% dislike. Great work always entertaining and so very informative

Gil

63% dislike, 37 like

Stormbourne

28 Like/72 Dislike. I'm going to take this bet because there's nothing alt-right types are better at than downvoting videos on youtube.

Sydney

65% likes /35% dislikes

Tarek Wazzan

I'm thinking more 80%likes/20%dislikes. There wasn't anything particularly offensive in the video but as it's political I anticipate some unexplainable hate.

The Other Greg

55/45 unless she wins, then 20/80 from sour grapes. The 'southern belle' /thing/ in southpark was from a nontroversy where some news reporter didn't liek that she said y'all in a speech in south carolina or something.

Lindsay Ellis

ENGLISH HAS NO SECOND PERSON PLURAL Y'ALL IS PERFECTLY VALID

The Other Greg

It's dumber than that even, the accusation is that she was trying to 'act southern'/'put on airs' to appeal to southern voters or something. 2016 has been impressive in its ability to top the banal evil that was the 2008 election.

Jade Dale

70 percent like\30 percent dislike

Jen

33 like/67 dislike

Per Hovem

25 like/ 75 dislike

Kyle Williams

23 like/77 dislike. Seeing Phil Hartman made me sad as it always does since his murder. He was one of the funniest people ever to come out of SNL and it has been so long now since he died that an entire generation probably has no idea who he is. Damn millennials and their being born to late to remember him!

Kyle Williams

Its not like she was ever First Lady of a southern state or anything.

Kyle Williams

Lindsay has a reputation in basement dwelling troll circles as being a man hating SJW, so she'll attract hate from that alone.

Dean Morgan Camp

Like 84%/Dislike 16%. Gonna be optimistic on this one.

Jacob Haller

Nice one! Here are some numbers picked out of a hat: Like 73%/dislike 27%.

Sophie S.

61% like, 39% dislike

Sophie S.

61% like, 39% dislike

Sophie S.

59% like, 41% dislike. i feel like such a pessimist, but i've been seeing some crazy shit on youtube

SailorSoapbox

56% Like/44% Dislike, but I'm honestly guessing.

Anessa B

74% Like/26% dislike you weren't supporting or bashing her, so I don't think it's going to be that polarizing. But you never know with YT

Jessica Shedden

36 like 64 dislike. Have a feeling a lot of people will see the title and not watch the video at all. Which is a shame because I found it incredibly informative. As a not-American it's been really interesting to watch the US public opinion shift on Hillary so frequently for decades.

Amy

65% like 35% dislike I have no idea

Brian Magid

71 like 29 dislike lol idk

Samual Holman

53 like 47 dislike and hundreds of pedantic-ass comments

Tanahamondo

Imma say 73% like and 27% dislike

Chris W

60% like, 40% dislike

Kat S.

53 like 47 dislike

Allan

I think 74% dislike - not because of any quality considerations, just because YouTube

Jubei

68% like/32% dislike

Felicitas

77% like 33 % dislike

Alan Kase

87.62% Like/ 12.38% Dislike.

Kaitlyn

52% like / 48% dislike

IamUnderman

I'm going to guess 63% like/ 37% dislike

LeoLeo

oof. 55/45

Glenn Snead

100% like / 0% dislike. Now do Trump. There has to be plenty of sketch comedy and other pop culture references from the last 30 years to work up an episode.

Zane

Hmmmmmmm, that's a really hard to judge prediction. Maybe something along the lines of Like 38%/Dislike 62%? It's super hard to tell how knee-jerk a reaction to something like this will be.

Jesse

25% like/75% dislike

Luninareph

Interesting! I'm surprised how many of these references were "surprisingly restrained," to be honest. I kind of expected even more vitriol than we saw.

Luninareph

Interesting! I'm surprised how many of these references were "surprisingly restrained," to be honest. I kind of expected even more vitriol than we saw. For my guess, I think I'll say... 62% Like, 38% Dislike.

Sophie Birch

I think due to certain election thing you may want to disable the comments to save you from certain individuals. I'm going to hazard a guess that it may be more positive (maybe 75%) since you are covering depictions of HRC not HRC herself nor are you showing a political bias towards her.

Chickeninthemist

10% like 90% dislike. Oh lindsay, you just have no fucks to give.

ablemcman

60 Like 40% dislike.

Lindsay Ellis

I don't have any special rage triggers with this like I do 9/11 trutherism, I'm honestly numb to most of the bullshit, so unless shit gets REALLY bad, I don't really care. We'll see how it plays out.

Stephen Brealey

Prediction? Pain. (36% Like 64% Dislike).

John Evans

I'll go with a pretty steep 97% / 3%! I think people that truly dislike Hillary will be the ones most likely to vote - and they will enjoy the non stop power hungry parody as that serves THEIR idea of Hilldawg.

Laurent Weppe

The "Mirror" campaign add is currently at 35% likes 65% dislikes (15.429 vs 28.593) so I'll bet for a similar number

Taylor

My guess is 71% likes/29% dislikes.

kieran

I'll be more generous than these guys. 79% like, 21% dislike BTW I remember that animaniacs episode. It WAS Hillary in the chair!

Christopher Carrig

99% Like. I would be shocked if something this unbiased was controversial.

Natalie Bear

39%/61%. So hard to find one that isn't taken. Bright side maybe you'll make extra money from conservative hate shares :)

Greete Korvits

15% dislike, 85% like. Not actually quite that optimistic, but I think it'll be around there, and so far I didn't see others commenting with those numbers. :)

Adrian

64% dislike, 36% like

Dean Madden

88% like, 12% dislike. because I'm hopelessly optimistic and as a loose tie in to the Trump=Biff Tannen thing. Regarding the inconsistency of impersonations, could it also be related to Hillary's adaptability/need to reinvent herself for different roles. I'm a long way away, but my impression of First Lady vs. Secretary of State vs presidential candidate are very different.

Aaron Yi

Like 71%, Dislike 29%, at least until October. After that, I feel like it might invert.

Jilly

One of your best loose canons so far, so glad you did this one!

Cait

This was really great. You dug pretty deep, but the whole thing was pretty unbiased. Great work on this one.

Occam's Blazer

Like 82% / Dislike 18% (the eternal optimist)

LeftOn4ya

Like 90$, dislike 10% - no so much a reflection of a like/dislike of Hilary, but a like/dislike of your commentary and video editing skills ;)

Orange Wedge

I'm saying 92% like, 8 % dislike. I am *fashionably* late to this party
