The purpose of the strip down PSA was to make viewers aware of mail-in voting and ‘naked’ ballots. Sarah Silverman and the others told the viewers to carefully follow every instruction on the ballot. Moreover, they told the viewers how in some states, like Pennsylvania, they have two stuff their ballot in two envelopes, otherwise, it’s called a naked ballot. When that happens, their ballot will get thrown out. And lastly, they must mail their ballots as soon as possible.

In the end of the PSA, Silverman and everyone else repeatedly told everyone who chose to vote-by-mail to vote as soon as possible. Here’s the celebrity strip down:

Moreover, Sarah Silverman also shared the PSA on Twitter:

And in her caption, Silverman also mentioned “singing Imagine,” which was a reference to Gal Gadot and a bunch of other celebrities singing the famous John Lennon song in hope of motivating the world to live through quarantine at the start of the pandemic. That “Imagine” cover has become a standard of celebrity cringe. But, what did people think about this strip down by Sarah Silverman and her friends? Let’s take a look.

Despite the mixed reactions, Sarah Silverman did manage to achieve her objective. People are talking about them and naked ballots, at the very least.

As bizarre as it looks, they got what they wanted. It’s a bit like how when Chris Evans accidentally leaked his nudes, he used all that attention to tell people to vote. I know it’s not the same, but if no one was harmed and they got everyone’s attention, who are we to complain?
