Marvin E. Quasniki for President

Marvin E. Quasniki for President is a Henson Alternative webseries produced for YouTube's the Nerdist Channel. The series debuted on December 7, 2011.

The series features web videos and social media updates from Marvin E. Quasniki, a fictional presidental candidate, performed by Paul Rugg. Quasniki is a Turquoise farmer from Tonopah, Nevada.

His campaign focused around a slogan of "no more bullshit."

In Quasniki's campaign announcment, he outlined three intentions of his campaign:

1. No bullshit; anyone who does bullshit gets thrown out of the Oval Office.

2. Make the Oval Office more circular and pleasing.

3. No more bullshit again, because if you give people a few more hours they are back to you with bullshit.

During a campaign rally — which he called a “thing” — in Iowa, Quasniki unveiled a new campaign slogan: "How Much Worse Could It Get?"

Quasniki appeared on CNN's OutFront on December 7, 2011 to discuss his campaign with Erin Burnett. "You're a Republican," an incredulous Burnett answered before Quasniki fired back "Well, I'm – you know what, I'm an American. Right now I'm only running as Republican because they're a bunch of clowns, but you never know, I'm an American. I'm for the people."

Quasniki was interviewed about his campaign by GeekChicDaily on December 8, 2011.

In December 2011, Quasniki appeared on episode #150 of the The Nerdist Podcast with Chris Hardwick to lay out his 5-point plan for America.

On January 11, 2012, Marvin E. Quasniki became a blogger for the Huffington Post.
