Mark Humphries Has Prepared Another Delectable Roast Of The Liberal Party’s Video Strategy
"At least he didn't headbutt the camera. On this take."
We’re pleased to announce that Mark Humphries has made another video roasting the Liberal Party’s god-awful video strategy, and it may just be better than the last one.
The Liberal Party, as you’ve probably seen, is having an absolute shocker with its video content right now. First, there was Scott Morrison’s abysmal series of videos pretending to be an ordinary bloke, now there’s Josh Frydenberg’s equally appalling acting debut. A few weeks ago, Mark Humphries appeared on 7.30 pretending to be the director of Scott Morrison’s visionary content, and he’s now done it again for Frydenberg, letting us know how his practice has evolved since the ScoMo video fails.
It is, to be frank, a perfect roast. “In much the same way as Martin Scorsese’s muse shifted from Robert De Niro to Leonardo DiCaprio, my work has evolved from my collaboration with Prime Minister Scott Morrison to another giant of screen: Treasurer Josh Frydenberg,” Humphries shares, welcoming us into a behind-the-scenes look at his art.
He then gives us insights into Frydenberg’s star power, and the long process of developing the on-screen character we’ve come to know and revile. “Josh decided that his character would read the script like a Year 5 student reading palm cards in a debate about whether or not school uniforms should be mandatory,” he tells us, revealing how Frydenberg’s acting persona draws from his own life experience.
“It’s this kind of performance that has made Josh Frydenberg a household name. In the Frydenberg household.”
We won’t spoil any more for you: take a minute to watch this delightful roast in full below. You’ll never look at Josh Frydenberg the same way. Unless you’ve been looking at him with a mixture of contempt and pity, in which case, carry on.
