Donald Trump: Inspiring Comedy Since The 80s (VIDEOS)

The Huffington Post     First Posted: 04/26/11 08:44 AM ET   Updated: 06/26/11 06:12 AM ET

Donald Trump is a true pop culture survivor, and as such, a target of comedy for ages. Although you might argue it's a joke unto itself that Trump is currently threatening to run for President based on the platform that President Obama is a lying foreigner, the real estate mogul has been a consistent target in comedy since he rose to fame as a symbol of wealth and excess in the mid-1980s.

Always a shameless self-promoter, Trump has never shied away from the cameras, even before he turned the act of employment termination into a catchphrase on his reality show. His outsized personality and lifestyle have made him ripe for parody (not to mention self-parody).

Here are some of our favorite Trump-centric comedic moments, including parodies, spoofs, late-night appearances and more from over the years. Vote for the funniest and share your favorite Trump comedy moment in the comments.

"SNL" has lampooned Trump many times over the years, such as this sketch that parodied his "Days of Our Lives" cameo.

Chris Weigant: Trump Mania

Trump's celebrity value is showing up loud and clear on the straw polls. But this doesn't mean he is even going to run -- and if he does, it's likely not going to get him very far.

Anyone remember that SNL skit when Daryll Hammond played Trump, and he was in a Domino's commercial? "Cheesus Crust! This pizza's good!" HAHAHAHHA!

I wish I could see Donald Trump. He's the only person I've ever had the impulse to moon and I'd just love to do it to him.

Not so funny ... the real Donald is not supplsed to be funnier that the spoof. You have to shoot for making the spoof more comic than Donald Trump is in person ... get it SNL?

The golf course in Palos Verdes has been there a long time. He just bought it and added a flag pole and maybe some remodeling.

The Colbert clip where Donald says that he does not what the thirteen strips stand for should be in every ad by his campaign if he runs!.
