The Funniest Moments of Obama’s Presidency

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UCD chapter.

With President Obama’s term coming to an end on January 20th, let’s take some time to reminisce on his presidency by looking at the funniest moments from our most charismatic and respectable leader.

1. His anger translator

Remember when Obama brought on Keegan-Michael Key to play his anger translator at the 2015 White House Correspondents Dinner? Refresh your memory here.

2. This Fox News joke

I hope Obama becomes a stand-up comedian when he leaves office.

3. When he used Republican’s favorite expression

Seriously, thanks Obama.

4. Slow jamming the news with Jimmy Fallon

That Hawaiian vacation is right around the corner!

5. When he made a friendship bracelet for Joe Biden

“I gained a brother,” Obama told Biden at his Farewell Address. Get you a friend like Obama.

6. His reaction after being asked about nuclear war with Russia

I think I’d have the same reaction if someone asked me about nuclear war.

7. Those classic Turkey Pardon dad jokes

He really does put maximum effort into everything.

8. His Between Two Ferns interview with Zach Galifianakis

You can watch the full interview here.

9. And finally, his mic drop

Need he say more?

America will miss you, Obama.
