Katy Perry 'jailed for voting' while naked in comedy sketch
Katy Perry gets arrested for stripping off in a polling station in a Funny Or Die voting sketch.
The Roar singer, a vocal supporter of Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, released a teaser picture of the video on Monday night (26Sep16) ahead of the first televised debate between Clinton and Trump and teased fans they would see her "vote naked" on Tuesday (27Sep16).
She has now released the comedy sketch on Twitter, in which she
encourages the public to vote by telling them they can go to the
polling station wearing whatever they like, as she gets out of bed
and walks to vote in white pajamas printed with a pattern of the
flag, and messy hair filled with pieces of popcorn and a
lollipop.
"Hi I'm Katy Perry, you know, November 8th is election day and I've
got some great news," she says in the video, in a chirpy
infomercial-style voice. "This year you can look like s**t when you
vote.
"Yep, I've briefly scanned the constitution and nowhere does it say
you can't just roll our of bed and come to the polls in whatever
state you woke up in. In the name of democracy, any out-of-bed look
is A-OK."
After listing different looks people are wearing at the polls, Katy
strips off her pajamas and gets completely naked, and two thick
black bars are used to cover her modesty.
"Or if you're like me, I sleep naked," she joked. "Yep, let those
babies loose cos no-one ever said..." as two police officers arrest
her for being naked. They place her in the back of a cop car, where
she joins Community actor Joel McHale, who also seems to have tried
to vote naked too.
To end the sketch, Katy sticks her head out of the car window and
says, "Scratch that, gotta wear clothes. See you at the polls
November 8th!"
It concludes with a reminder to vote, whatever you wear, and to
take a pledge at Rock the Vote.
