Now that the election is over, let's look back at some of the funniest spoofs.
1. The Faux SNL "It's 3.a.m." - In the primaries, Hillary Clinton went after Obama's inexperience with an ad. It started with the narrator speaking over images of a young child sleeping. The phone ringis in the White House. It's an emergency. At the end of the ad, it was Hillary answering the phone. Here's SNL's version as if Hillary turned it into a nightmare vision with Obama as President.
2. The Terrorist Fist Bump- When Obama clinched the Democratic nomination, he celebrated with his wife Michele using the old sports fist bump. Fox News' E.D. Hill thought it was a novel gesture and did a story on it with a body lanquage expert who also seemed as clueless. She teased the story questioning that it could be a "terrorist fist jab." A creative person decided to use Mortal Kombat with an assist from Rev. Wright to demonstrate.
3. Our Favorite Point Guard, Sarah Palin. She's awfully purty, but knew nothing about foreign policy, the economy, law, etc. If McCain won, she would have been a heartbeat away from the presidency. Yeesh. The low point came when she did the Katie Couric interview especially when asked about the 700 billion dollar bailout. Of course, this provided satiric fodder for SNL, with Tina Fey as Palin.
Recently, sources in the McCain campaign have indicated Palin didn't know Africa was a continent or the countries involved in NAFTA. This was reported by FOX News! Memo to Gov. Palin. Um, Governor Palin, Africa is a continent not a country and South Africa is a country on the continent.
4. The McCain Wander- During the town hall debate, Sen. McCain seemed to wander around the stage. This made comedy gold and someone at the Huffington Post put together highlights of some of the comedians having fun with it.
5. The Obama Variety Hour- Obama had an ungodly amount of money to buy ads with. The week before the election, he ran a half hour informercial. SNL made a fake preview, reimaging it as a musical comedy hour. Solid... solid as Barack.
Here's an early SNL video parodying Hillary's 3 a.m. ad and teasing Obama. So enjoy, my conservative, moderate and liberal friends. That also inludes you socialists too.
FAUX NEWS- Genius Bratkowski disputed the charge that his play calling is predictable. "We will win the division at 8-8. It's all in the plan. Next week, the NFL will see shock and awe. They're going to see something special."
Sideline reporter G. Burbank was able to get the following dialogue between Head Coach Lewis and QB Ryan Fitzpatrick. "Coach, where's the bases? This is Americer's pahstime. I was watching the Cincinnata Reds and thot Pete Rose guy. I kept trying to head first slide like him and there's no bases." "Fitzy, it's football, not baseball." "What? First, you tell me it's not Hahvard but Cincinnata, now we're playing football?"
During the game, CB Jonathan Joseph was heard arguing with the head referee. "Ref, first you screwed Rashad Jeanty now me. I put two hands on Walter. He should be down. That's wrong. You're a bad, bad ref." "Son, I keep telling you Ben-gals that it's tackle not two hand touch, not flag football." "That's so unfair, I hate these rules."
After the game, Head Coach Marvin Lewis was asked why they lost the game. "They scored more points than us."
