Actor Ben Stiller, known for playing the dimwitted male model Derek Zoolander in the film Zoolander, parodied an iconic scene from the film in a video posted on the second gentleman Doug Emhoff‘s social media accounts.
“What is this? A White House for ants?” Stiller says dramatically on Tuesday as he intensely looked at a small model of the White House on a table with a Harris-Walz campaign backdrop behind him.

He continues, “How are you and Kamala going to live there when you’re first gentleman and she’s the president?”
The camera pans over to Emhoff hunched over laughing loudly at Stiller’s Zoolander impression.
“So good,” he says to Stiller as they are seen giving each other a hug and smiling.
The video clip was distributed on the husband of the vice president’s social media accounts with the message: “Nailed it, @BenStiller.”
Social media users reacted to the Emhoff and Stiller video.
“Nailed the Nanny?” a social media user joked about the “nailed it” comment while referencing Emhoff’s affair with his daughter’s nanny in his previous marriage.
“These celebrity ads aren’t helping Kamala’s campaign,” one social media user said.
“What was funny about that?” Trump campaign adviser Alex Bruesewitz reacted.
“Whoever is greenlighting these ads must be an undercover Republican,” another person quipped.

Stiller also did another video with Emhoff and television personality Andy Cohen earlier this week in touting how they were “girl dads” who were voting for Vice President Kamala Harris because of her stance on abortion.
The Harris-Walz campaign has been deploying celebrities to make social media videos and to stump for the campaign in the final weeks of the election. Beetlejuice actor Michael Keaton posted two videos this week pushing voters to elect Harris in November.
