They should have had him in a M uslim garb (His traditional dress) and where is that Church pastor buddy of his?
His traditional dress is Kenyan.But you knew that didn't you.
I think his traditional dress is a suit. That's what American politicians generally wear.
Gets complicated when you try to pigeonhole someone vis-à-vis "traditional dress"
My mother was British. My father British/Native American .
Is my traditional dress a beefeaters costume with a headdress?
How is mccain's rape 'joke' working for you?
WTF, they went so easy on O bama. Is that like some affirmative action thing or something?
So?.About time.
Dude(tte?) they ran him over with a TANK!
My thoughts exactly!
Oh(just occured to me), maybe that is a reference to the right wingers calling him our messiah.
He was killed and he came back. And the elf body a reference to his ears. I tell you it was well done but that tank part made me cringe.
Hey, I'm not Obama apologist, but I thought they kinda shredded him. Did you catch the bit where he "likes change lots of change and change and change?" (riffing on "change" without substance) or the bit where he's riding on a unicorn in a fairy-tale world?
No, just about everyone got skewered.
Yes it may be, Manni:
To qualify for President, they look at your skin, and it isn't worth much if it has melanin. Obama may be qualified and morning-star bright, but Obama's not much, cause Obama ain't white.
HAR DEE HAR!
THIS GUY MANNI
he must work for some war room of Mccain's he is everywhere 8 hours a day with lunch and two drakes.
He only agitates and keeps falsehoods in the air and getting wedged in real dialogue.
IGNOR HIM so he will die and have to re register anew. Like Jesus (in print only)
zzzzzzzzzzzzz ...
they're getting less funny
HEY, NEW YORKER MAGAZINE..
Say whatever you want about the new yorker cover (tasteless, blah blah blah), but it was true satire. This is more of an broad, slapstick sendup.
So it's only satire when it makes you laugh? Huh.
Main Entry:
sat·ire
Pronunciation:
ˈsa-ˌtī(-ə)r
Function:
noun
1 : a literary work holding up human vices and follies to ridicule or scorn
2 : trenchant wit, irony, or sarcasm used to expose and discredit vice or folly
The best part was the very beginning.
Who says Obama supporters don't appreciate humor about him! LOL, that rocked.
very true.... I can appreciate humor when it is based on facts...
Mommy may i call you a moron? So by your definition the jibjab satire was funny because it's based on fact. i.e Obama lives in a fantasy land where he doesn't know what's he's talking about and is willing to say anything such as the troops home tomorrow just to get elected.
me think you shouldn't talk because with every word that comes out your IQ goes down 5 points. Conserve those brain cells. Conserve.
Excellent production values! Near perfect voice impressions! Nothing short of something that could have been released in theaters!
It is a very funny and clever video. It's difficult to come up with any negative criticism because it seemed fair and so well put together. It was obvious to me that it was meant to be nothing more than satirical entertainment .
Hillary in 2012, Obama on a unicorn, John McCain in the hospital..
For the support players, yes, particularly Hillary and, as always, Bush.
For McCain and especially Obama, the voice impressions weren't remotely close.
Still funny, though...
LOLZ. That was really a good giggle.
Exquisite, graphically detailed satire that is unsurpassed. The colors, images, and scripts are perfect. I would look forward to such lampoons on all of our public “servants” on a daily, or at least weekly, basis similar to syndicated newspaper political comic strips.
Forwarding to the editors at The New Yorker....
They can go screw themselves.
This isn't funny.
So what do yo think is funny?
TRUTH sometimes isn't funny, especailly to those who don't understand Truth and have to be told what Truth really is. BushBites, think of Truth like iron, it can befashioned many ways but alas, it is still iron.
how is it not funny? granted it might be a little lame, but this is what they call satire.. the new yorker should take notes from these guys......
That was freakin hilarious. Let me guess, the Obama parody hurt someone's feelings.
why not?? Bc its based on the truth instead of stereotypes????
Oh, wow. You REALLY missed the point.
This is based on nothing but stereotypes. That's why it's kind-of funny.
If it were based on "the truth" it would be good satire but not necessarily funny. In fact, if it were based on "the truth" it would make you hang your head in shame at what this country and its political system have become.
omg that was totally amazing!!
Jib Jab has gone from amazing to... amazinger.
Unfortunately I couldn't help myself, I was rolling...
Brilliantly hilarious.
Good job JIB JAB! ;-)
Aaanold in the end was a great ending.
Thanks for the much needed laugh.
