President Obama Has More Mean Tweets to Read


Being President is hard work. Not only do you have to worry about the country you preside over, whether it's the economy, social tension, or natural disasters, you also have to maintain diplomatic foreign relations.

On top of all of that, you also have people criticizing your every move. Barack Obama knows that all too well. Fortunately, he's a good sport about it, and he's back on Jimmy Kimmel Live for another installment of Mean Tweets. The country thanks him for it.

Slow Jam the News with Barack Obama


The Tonight Show and Jimmy Fallon both greatly benefit from having The Roots as their house band. Not only do they provide terrific music, they offer awesome side sketches, like their "Classroom Instruments" chaos, and they can slow jam with the best of them.

The latter was on display, as Fallon welcomed President Obama into the studio for a little slow jamming of the news. It's marvelous, and a terrific reminder that we never have, and likely never will, have another president quite like Barack Obama. Let's enjoy these last few months he's in office.

Rappin' Obama Is Back, This Time To The Tune Of "Forgot About Dre"




You may remember earlier this year when the Detroit Pistons released a video of Barack Obama rapping to Drake in order to endorse Pistons center Andre Drummond for the All-Star Game.

Well, Detroit's media team is back at it, giving us another Obama cut. This time, he's rapping to the 2001 Dr. Dre/Eminem hit, "Forgot About Dre." If the Pistons have their way, nobody will be forgetting about Drummond anytime soon.

President Obama Endorses Andre Drummond For All-Star Game...Kind Of





Pistons center Andre Drummond is having a career year, averaging 17.9 points and 15.7 rebounds a game, which is A) absurd, and B) leading the league. He's also helping Detroit stick around in a bid for a lower playoff spot, which is pretty impressive considering how bad the team has been the past decade or so.

In order to help convince fans to vote for him, Drummond and the Pistons released a video quoting none other than President Barack Obama. Okay, so it's really just a bunch of clips of Obama's speeches set to Drake's "Jumpman," but it's a good move nonetheless. Let's see how it plays out in the polls.

President Obama Reads Mean Tweets About Himself


Ohh, those trolls on Twitter! This time, they're going after Barack Obama. Fortunately, Jimmy Kimmel was around with a camera rolling. Check out an all-Obama edition of Mean Tweets.

Barack Obama Makes An Appearance On "Between Two Ferns"




"Between Two Ferns" is probably the best consistent series on Funny or Die. Zach Galifianakis is just so perfectly awkward in interacting with his guests, whether it's dishing out poorly-timed insults or not comprehending basic words. Check out the latest episode, where none other than President Barack Obama gets in some solid barbs. Yes, it's a plug for the Affordable Healthcare Act, but hey, young folks like me should know about things, and this is a wonderful way to spread the word.

Thanksgiving 101



We all celebrate Thanksgiving, but how many know the history behind it? I sure didn't, so I made a video to share what I know. This might be Final Cut editing at its best, people.

Conan O'Brien Spoofs Live-Election Results



I know, I know, I'm about a week late with this. But I don't care. It's awesome. Conan and Andy Richter go through some of the lesser-known polling results. Forget about the presidency - this video has things like Rhode Island deciding to no longer be a state, but rather a storage unit for Massachusetts. Some good stuff in here...check it out!

Samuel Jackson Wants You To Wake Up



But not just "wake up," but rather "Wake the fuck up." Everyone's favorite yeller invades people's homes to encourage potential Obama supporters to get out and vote. The online video from the Jewish Council for Education & Research features Jackson reading a children's story called "Wake the Fuck Up."

If it's reminiscent of Adam Mansbach's "Go the Fuck to Sleep," a children's book more aimed towards adults, that Jackson famously read.  As it should, since Mansbach wrote the script. Needless to say, it's hilarious, muthaf*cka!

Meet The Latest Comedic Duo: Clint Eastwood and Chair

Saturday Night Live kicked off its 38th season over the weekend, and the political satire was already in full-swing. I'm not entirely sure what I thought of the premiere, but one sketch was fantastic: Bill Hader reviving his Clint Eastwood impression and teaming up with the empty chair he spoke to at the Republic National Convention. The pair, trying to capitalize on the recent publicity of said chair incident, are taking their act on the road for a comedy tour. The crowd reactions are the best part, especially Jay Pharoah being utterly confused by what's happening around him. Good stuff.
