This Fake Ad For A #MeToo Edition Of ‘Guess Who?’ Is Depressingly Perfect
"Is your character a man?"
Hoo boy. Funny or Die has created a fake ad for a #MeToo edition of the classic board game Guess Who? and it is… uncomfortably on the money.
The 90-second clip stars Westworld‘s Evan Rachel Wood and Star Wars: The Last Jedi‘s Kelly Marie Tran, and sees the cartoon characters in the guessing game replaced by alleged sexual harassers and abusers including Kevin Spacey, Bill Cosby, Louis C.K. and Harvey Weinstein.
“Is your character a man?” asks Wood.
“Of course!” replies Tran.
The pair are soon joined by Tony nominee Da’Vine Joy Randolph, who asks if she can play too.
“You’re a woman, you don’t have a choice,” exclaims Tran with a laugh.
The ad also touts a recent expansion pack as Randolph points out that “there are so many cases of sexual harassment that they update a new deck every ten hours!”
But the clip takes a sobering turn in the final few seconds, as the three women turn to camera and ask viewers to support Rise, a movement calling for a comprehensive bill of rights for survivors of sexual assault.
