Terry Tate, the fictional office linebacker from Reebok's famous ads a decade ago about proper behavior, is back to weigh in on the 2016 election. And the result is spectacular.

Reebok doesn't appear to have any official part in the new video, which opens with the now-notorious 2005 footage of Trump and Billy Bush joking about groping women without their consent, while getting off an Access Hollywood bus.
