Man I love Bautista, criminally underrated actor. Took like 1 or 2 bad roles, otherwise he is fantastic.

Don't think he's underrated any longer. Knocked it out the park in *Blade Runner 2049", and that was a bit part. Also, Dune. Not sure what else he's done lately.
Say he's had a couple of stinkers?
The only one that comes to mind was that Uber one? I heard it was crap
Him as Sapper Morton in 2049.... chefs kiss
Uber one was a fun movie. Not everything has to be citizen kane
I watched citizen Kane and it was so bad. Why do people like it?
Personally never seen seen it 🤣
Arguably his role in Spectre wasn't great, but I don't blame him for that at all. If anything, he needed more screen time. Might have saved the movie.
He has surpassed the Rock in no time. Honestly the Rock never got any better at acting and now I'm just sick of his bullshit. He's such a pretentious, fake asshole who pisses in bottles
My problem with The Rock is he just plays The Rock in every movie. He's good at the character, but only the one character.
Tight beige or green t shirt, bald head, cargo pants. It's like he walks into a movie set, they point out the wardrobe department to him and he's like "nah I'm good I'll just wear this"lol
big toothy grin, eyebrow waggle
"That's a wrap, great work everyone."
My only problem with him is he just LOOKS like a meathead. I wish they'd dress him a little more baggy sometimes just so I can realistically see him as the character he's trying to play. But he's always wearing stuff that shows off his toned bulk.
Or maybe I'm just too gay for him and need him to tone it down a bit so I can pay attention to the story.
The Economist did a fascinating dive into the gender voting gap. One thing they noted that the gap is really between men who simultabeouslu characterize themselves as both very masculine AND not being masculine enough. Basically, dudes who are insecure about their masculinity.
All that to say, I think if you edited this down it could be a painfully good attack. Having a jacked wrestler compare him to Dolly Parton? Can't think of a more pointed attack.
I can’t stop laughing, “paid for by guys who can still see their dicks”.
This is a pure gold ad and I love it.
I prefer this take down of his "masculinity". It avoids the body shaming, which hurts more people than the target.
I did enjoy watching that.
Maybe you're right about the body shaming.
To be fair though there's a lot of memes celebrating Trumps hero-like physique. Like the cowboy or fireman things in the video.
That does kinda make it part of the conversation.
I hadn't considered that aspect. I suppose it does add some complexity to the OP
NO!! No no no no NO!!
This kind of shit is why those fucking lardassed pussbabies keep winning. Don't be a bigger pussy than they are! You body shame the fuck out of these fucking losers because they do it to YOU and they actually think they're superior.
STOP obeying in advance.

You can't beat a bully with reason or logic; you have to beat him the old fashioned way.
I love the last part. The idea that one needs to "do it for you" as far as masculinity. It's similar to how people called Hillary "gross" to disqualify her. Which kind of implies that they want to fuck Trump?
This wont resonate with his type of follower at all though, they will only understand real on-the-nose shit. I think what makes OP’s video so clever is its uses the exact type of messaging they do against them.
He was great in Glass Onion...
Leave Dolly out of this!
I have a feeling dolly wouldn't mind.
Probably. But people watching this who are unfamiliar with Dolly may assume she is just tits and make-up.
She perhaps one of the greatest living Americans. The amount of money she has spent getting books into the hands of kids is something that doesn't get enough press.
Which is why this is a bad choice.
They should have compared Trump to a Kardashian
I guess, except dolly is very frank about her make up habits. Go look for articles on it. She even has a cosmetics line. She admits she sleeps at night with her make up on.
Not the point.
Trump should be compared to a "bad" celebrity. Not be associated with Dolly's positive aura.
But the people this video targets that don’t already know her wouldn’t care anyway. We know who she is, we’re in on the joke, and the people the joke targets just see tits and makeup regardless, and giving them an education on the topic wouldn’t make them suddenly come round.
Uhhh, that's kinda how she describes herself. Proudly.
But she is also much more. Being compared to Dolly is a compliment, not an insult.
As an average dude in Dolly's home state, I would take it as high praise to be compared to Dolly. I suspect most men here would, save probably those who are insecure in their masculinity and/or appearance.
"Progressive" politics.
