Biting political satire

As the American presidential race hots up it gets increasingly difficult for us Brits to follow what’s going on.

As far as I can make out you’ve got Obama Biden Laden on one side and John McClane from Die Hard and Michael Palin on the other.

You see what I did there? I deliberately confused the names of the candidates with those of other prominent people from popular culture. I bet that has never been done before by anyone! And it only took me about two months to come up with it.

I’m such a comic genius.

And speaking of comic geniuses; in my extensive research for this post I discovered a community of YouTubers dedicated to “swedeing’ movies. Behold:

    Do you happen to have a needle and thread so I can stitch my sides back up? They appear to have split. Ta.

    Rol - If I didn’t know you better I’d suspect you were being sarcastic

    Jeff - Wait, those effects didn’t cost billions of dollars?

    Phil - but it’s not as good a kisser

    DC Urban Dad - I dunno, we produced Benny Hill too.

    James - Of course, we used to practically live at IKEA.

    Arjan - I keep up by listening to comedy podcasts, which I suspect don’t give me a completely unbiased view of proceedings.

    Delmer - She appears scarily popular though.
