I remember Man of the Year being advertised as a straight comedy: Robin Williams plays a Jon Stewart type that actually gets elected president, hijinks ensue.

!It pretty quickly turned into a serious thriller. He didn't even actually get elected, he only won because he entered the race after a program was installed on the electronic voting machines to steal the election for another candidate, and the convoluted conditions wound up favoring him instead.!<
