Do Donald Trump's speeches ever give you déjà vu? Hillary Clinton thinks she knows why — her latest ad compares the Republican nominee to some of Hollywood's most rotten bullies.

Pulling clips from Mean Girls, A Christmas Story, and Back to the Future, the ad defines "bully" by comparing Trump's actual quotes to those from notorious movie villains. The result is both disturbing and hilarious, and topped off by Clinton explaining to a young supporter that "it's important to stand up to bullies wherever they are."
