Ron Howard's Call For Obama With Andy Griffith And Henry Winkler

Ron Howard is the latest star to voice his support for Obama, and he did it alongside his old costars Andy Griffith and Henry Winkler in a video for Funny or Die. Watch him strip down, trim his nose hair and don an Opie wig for a black and white call to action before fast-forwarding to "Happy Days."

What?
A Ron Howard movie without brother Clint?
I thought they were all drinking the Tranya.

[McFlipFlop]

LMAO!

[AnneOlivia]

What!!!! No "Music Man"?!?! Break my heart.

[Indepatriot]

Andy and Opie are known associates of Floyd the Barber, an anti-american intellectual who often hosted free-flowing discussions about what's "wrong" with America at his "barbershop". And don't even get me started about Otis......­.

"I know a lot of you are thinking that I'm just following some Hollywood liberal trend...th­at's not me" - Ron Howard

Sure it's not you, Dopie! Just another Hollywood liberal using his camera/stage to his advantage to push his political views and preferences on America. He wants change...w­ell so does 99% of America. What makes him or anyone else believe that Obama is change and McCain isn't? Seems that the liberal media and Obama have done a noble job of brainwashing the average dumb-dumb voter into believing McCain is the same as Bush. Know what kind of "CHANGE" this Obama character is all about before annointing him America's Messiah.

Idiots!

[Indepatriot]

What a tool....

[packerfans]

What are the vast differences between McCain and Bush of which you speak?

Iraq? No
Iran? No
Tax breaks for the well connected? No
Supreme Court Nominees? No
International Diplomacy? No
Health Care? No
Social Security? No
Torture? No
Women's and Children's rights? No

Multi-millionaire? Yes
Graduated at the bottom of his class? Yes

Idiots is not very civil language, none-the-less, it appears that you don't get the joke - which is of course the essential flaw of all republicans - no sense of irony, a sense which may be be positively correlated with IQ, but that's a subject of a different lecture.

[roedood]

hey im voting for O but that video is far from hilarious as a matter of fact i'd say just dumb.

[ImissTheCOLDWAR]

I find the ad a total contradiction. First, he speaks of "CHANGE", which as you all know the the Obama Holy Mantra....­......Then he reverts to beloved charcters based on living in the 1950's and 1960's, which many people, miss. The "Andy Griffith Show" what about small town southern America where everyone knew each other, fellowshiped together and had a deep rooted love for God, America and Familty, with a very strong and honorable Widowed father caring for a sweet boy.......­..Then we move to the "Happy Days" theme of Richie Cunningham. A squeeky clean good guy. A guy again the comes from middle class Milwalkee where you have a strong family nucleus with a great father that is a small business owner that has a deep love for his family, God and Country...­Even "The Fonz", which started out as a hoodlum coulnd't resist the powers of hanging out with the Cunningham­s......It is a little hard to speak of the Furture and Change when you use the PAST to make your message

[Indepatriot]

Your utter lack of logic is showing, again.

[Knowitall]

It's what Democrats mean when we say we want to take out country back. Get it now?

[JoDeeVa]

"I find the ad a total contradict­ion." Talk about contradiction! Back atcha'...
Your argument and attempt at ANY kind of relevant message is totally obliterated by "ImissTheC­OLDWAR"...­if that is the feelgood "living in the 1950's and 1960's, which many people, miss"?...P­UH-LEEZE, take me Back to the Future!!

[ProfessorDuh]

Brilliant! Profound thanks to Ron, Andy and Henry. This will do some good with the right people.

[badfluffy]

Awesome! If Andy Griffith would have done his Matlock instead, you could air this in Florida and Arizona and the election would be a senior citizen induced landslide!

[TrooAmerican]

That was AWESOME! I am so glad they are all still alive. Great people, great actors and great for america.

I remember watching AndyGriffith on tv when i was little. I didnt realize they were black n white for a number of years cuz our tv was B&W. I just loved and looked forward to Happy days and Laverne and Shirley every evening.
& Mork an Mindy. lol

[tidalChange]

I LOVE IT! Ron Howard is so warm, intelligent, and honest, someone you'd want for a lifelong friend. What a great idea and wonderful way to help the Obama/Biden campaign. THANK YOU, Mr. Howard!

[CindyKay]

Thank You Very Much Opie /Richie/Ron

[ccmd]

Matlock! he ll yeah!


GOTV GOTV GOTV!!!!! Encourage Early Voting

[OhioJan]

I have loved Ron Howard since I was old enough to have a MEMORY, I've loved his TV "Dad", Andy, since he put Barney in charge of Otis; and I've LOVED "The Fonz" since I was a raging tornado of teenaged-hormonal schizophrenia! Thanks for bringing back ALL of those memories, Ron! This should be a prime-time Ad for the Obama-Biden Team!!!! Potzi & Ralph-Malph must be supporting the "other" Campaign? Would've been funny to see THEM too!!!

Great spot, Ron Howard: and thanks again for the flood of wonderful memories for most of us!!!!!
