'McConnelling' meme is born: Senator's bizarre non-speaking ad inspires remixes

On Wednesday, one person on YouTube began splicing the footage into classic sitcom openings, placing a smiling McConnell into series including Full House and Family Matters.

McConnell's original campaign ad, released last Tuesday.
