Tommy Bolger is now so famous, he is starring in other student’s political campaign videos.
Two weeks ago Tommy Bolger uploaded this video to YouTube to help his campaign to become UL President.

The story went crazy on our site and now the clip has over 250,000 views. Oh yeah, and Tommy won the President gig.
Today we received a video from Stephen Lawlor about a DCU Education Officer candidate called Gary Gillick. Being good sorts, we had a look and after the first few seconds we were thinking ‘this guy has just ripped off Tommy’s idea’.
But we stuck with it and sure enough it was all just a clever parody of the parody, and it even includes a clever appearance by the man himself, Tommy Bolger.
Think of this as the Inception of student politics videos. And if anyone out there decides to parody this one, we’re out.
