Video: Will Ferrell Plays Your 'Typical Millennial' In This Hilarious New Hillary PSA

Congress has cut federal funding for public media — a $3.4 million loss for LAist. We count on readers like you to protect our nonprofit newsroom. Become a monthly member and sustain local journalism.

Will Ferrell dropped a video for Hillary on Friday morning, and it might just be our favorite PSA of the season (sorry, Franco). Ferrell stars as "your typical, run-of-the-mill millennial," interrupting hangtime with his "squad" to remind the rest of us millennials that voting history is public record. Yes, that's right, bae—whether or not you vote is available online forever for all your friends, family and fellow millennials to see.

As Ferrell says, "If you don't vote, everyone might find out that you're the opposite of on fleek or that you're basic. Or, even worse, that you've got no chill." So, get out there on Tuesday, lest you want to be recorded as lame in the annals of public record for all eternity.

P.S. We love you, Will Ferrell.

As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.

Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.

We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.

No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.

Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.

Thank you for your generous support and believing in independent news.
