A Year in Obama Jokes, or Let's Celebrate Inauguration Day! Much has been bitched about how this country's leading comedians allegedly won't and/or can't find anything to make fun of Barack Obama about, but we both know that's not really accurate. Plenty of funny has been had this year regarding the guy, and I've found the greatest hits (that were available on Hulu, largely) for us all to enjoy on this, the most historically congested traffic day in the history of Washington, D.C., and posted them below. And I do apologize to all of you fine Canadians (we love you!) who can't watch the Hulu clips, but in this isolated case you have to admit, this is kind of our day. We have Hulu access, you have universal health care. I think we're even.

Playin' it cool:


Conan's negative Obama ad:


The debates seem so long ago now, don't they?


Obama the Socialist, as told by everyone's favorite faux-hawk, Stephen Colbert:


Obama's team of rivals, via Jon Stewart:

President Goofus and President Gallant:

And Hulu says you can watch the inauguration below, but obviously if you're on this site chances are good that you have access to a television you can watch it on. Either way.


Oh, and just for the hell of it, some marginally related Anderson Cooper playing with puppies:

Ain't nothin' wrong with that.

Happy inauguration, everybody!

Big thumbs-down to embedded streaming video that starts without me telling it to. What is this, ESPN.com?

It's too bad MadTV was cancelled. Because they know how to do comedy. I never understood why SNL was more popular. It has the roots...but that's about it.

its not just canadians and americans who avidly read this site how about a little love for us non americocontinent peoples. I begining to think HULU just thinks we are the bit of the map where you fall off the edge and dragons eat you.

I don't think the guy doing Obama on SNL is doing such a great job. The only think he seems to have picked up is Obama's tendency to overuse the word "look." Now Jamie Foxx came up with a pretty good impression during the Neighborhood Ball. It was only about two seconds; but still, much better than this guy.
