Jack Black Is Nathan Spewman: 'The Mis-informant' (VIDEO)

People who love Jack Black and hate lying corporations will get a real kick out of this hilarious viral campaign from Health Care For America Now. Stop Spewman is a two-part satire featuring Black and the lovely America Ferrera that attempts to shed light on the corporate misinformation dominating this Fall's elections.

In this first episode, Black's character Nathan Spewman, a professional "Mis-Informant" or undercover pawn of greedy corporations, tries to spread lies about Obama's health care plan by posing as an eight-year-old boy. Claiming to suffer from "Enlargitis" which makes him appear older, Spewman spreads fear among the kids in Ferrera's class about Obamacare and death panels, and even uses Justin Bieber as bait.

Why does Jack Black seem to put these out after the fact? He had that hilarious Anti Prop 8 video...after Prop 8 passed. This would have been effective in August 2009.

Or, far more likely, he had enough faith -- however misplaced -- in the american public's capacity for critically assessing health care reform -- and the attendant positions offered by dems and republicans.

that's hilarious i always say i suspect some of the right-wing commentators on this site of getting paid to spread to spread their half-truths and all out lies.

I actually liked the little girl at the end better than Jack Black. She was able to channel her inner Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh without skipping a beat!

This thread gives me another opportunity to plead with J.J. Abrams to cast Jack Black as Harry Mudd in the next "Star Trek" movie.

He would be a natural for the role! :)

would be hard, but not impossible, to top the original Mudd and his beauties!!!

The "beauty drug" in that episode? Botox!

Anyway, Roger would be hard to top, but Jack would be great as either Mudd or Cyrano "Tribbles" Jones. Maybe Trelayne or Q (who may after all be related), for that matter.

He is an absolute Scream!
And that little girl who has "been in prison" was brilliant.
Very funny.

It's hard to laugh at something when you're so invested into the lies and liars that they are spotlighting in this skit.
If you don't think this is funny, it's because you obviously are so indoctrinated with 'Faux Spews' that you don't know what truth vs. fiction is anymore...

The truth hurts...it's hard to laugh at it, isn't it?

Very true, Black did a great job with this to make it funny. But it quickly reminded me of Chuck Grassley giving healthcare speeches to his constituants in IA, spewing the same "pulling the plug on grandma" BS. Another great liar...
