So the debates leading up to the US presidential election this year have been…a lot.Debate season is coming in hot. Flies. Lies. And nobody apparently able to stop talking when their time is up. Instead of further threatening\u00a0a nation’s collective blood pressure,\u00a0perhaps it’s\u00a0the perfect time to reflect on some of the greatest fictional debates.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For years, debates have been an interesting topic tackled in television and movies. They can blend in with any genre; there is always the funny kitsch in pitting an under-qualified goon against a successful and educated candidate, while there is also the waves of seriousness that comes with questioning policy and human safety. It is a balance that Saturday Night Live<\/a> has been trying to manage with their political skits based on spoofing real-life political situations. However, many shows stray from imitating actual politicians. Instead, they create their own and throw them into fictional debates, allowing audiences to escape their reality and lose themselves in a fictional world with fictional problems.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
