In a widely viewed 2009 YouTube video, America's best and brightest celebrities bravely pledged to serve the most powerful man in the world, Barack Obama.

"I pledge to be a servant to Barack Obama—and to all mankind," announced Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore, the video's producers," and  dozens of stars joined them in a chant to "become the change that we seek."

On the eve of the 2012 election, Reason TV decided to see how those pledges are working out for performers such as Ashton Kutcher, Sean "Diddy" Combs, Kevin Zegers, Red Hot Chili Peppers' frontman Anthony Kiedis, and Jason Bateman (whose forward-looking oath involved particularly intimate bodily functions).

About 1.20 minutes.

Written by Anthony L. Fisher and Nick Gillespie. Prodcued by Fisher, with help from Meredith Bragg.

No celebrities were harmed in the making of this video.
