Call it America’s Next Top Demon Sheep. Ever since Carly Fiorina released her infamous video into the world, candidates have been scrambling to outdo each other with campy, ridiculous ads.

Today’s entry in the fray: Jim Bender, a Republican candidate for Senate in New Hampshire. Bender, one of four Republican candidates in the race, announced in March that he had hired Sen. Scott Brown’s campaign manager, Beth Lindstrom, to run his campaign. The primary is Sept. 14.

In Bender’s TV ad, a crazed Uncle Sam eats from cakes shaped like a bank, a diploma, an ambulance and a check made out for “All Your Money.” The campaign is obviously proud of it, splashing it across his campaign site and declaring it a “hit.”

Watch:

The ad will premiere on TV this Sunday.
