Video remix: Wanda Sykes roasts Obama the way he deserves
posted at 10:11 am on May 17, 2009 by Allahpundit
A new transmission from the same alternate universe Treacher’s currently broadcasting from. Really funny, especially for an amateur effort, although admittedly most of the material — the Michelle jokes in particular — would have been too hot for the real WHCD. Keep an eye out for the goof on Olbermann. That one’s my fave.
I’m not familiar with the site that produced this but follow the link and poke around there when you’re done. Their photoshop series on “The Obamas” is a keeper. It won’t be hard to guess which one’s my favorite there, either.

Finally! Wanda Sykes is funny.
Tommy_G on May 17, 2009 at 10:14 AM
allah, you’re the one who doesn’t want us to be too disrespectful of the 1st “lady” (i use that term very, very loosely).
can we proceed with our trashing of her then?
kelley in virginia on May 17, 2009 at 10:15 AM
This is hilarious. Too bad it didn’t happen.
volsense on May 17, 2009 at 10:16 AM
LOLOLOLOL! My favorite too, Allah!!!

I live in a cave, so I’m still trying to figure out who Wanda Sykes is…
locomotivebreath1901 on May 17, 2009 at 10:21 AM
That was absolutely hysterical!
progressoverpeace on May 17, 2009 at 10:23 AM
I don’t know about trashing her, but we can surely laugh at her expense.

funny

Now who will do a remix on Obama, so we can hear something true, but funny out of his ‘mouth’?
Right_of_Attila on May 17, 2009 at 10:28 AM
I’m gonna make that site one of my “regulars”. Thanks, AP.
jgapinoy on May 17, 2009 at 10:29 AM
I can’t believe you’re not familiar with I Own The World…they put out some pretty funny stuff on occasion.

Me thinks,Hopey’s Roman Temple Troopers might
pay,IOwnThe World a visit!(Sarc)
Lefty’s have a warped sense of humour!
———————————————————
Btw,this is exactly what the Right needs to do,impune,make
fun of,and ridicule Team Obama!
Liberals love to dish it out,and think that their so clever,
but in reality,their humour sucks,and good humour is based
on truth,and for Lefty’s there is no truth,and therefore it
becomes flat,and the majority of Lefty humour becomes offenc
esive!!!
The video of Wanda Sykes,is funny as h#ll Jim,keep’m comin:).
canopfor on May 17, 2009 at 10:33 AM
Oops,sorry AllahPundit,not Jim’s post,i will flog myself
for that mistake!!!
canopfor on May 17, 2009 at 10:36 AM
These “progressive” lefties crack me up!
They are quick with the ad hominem but so fragile they fear Rush Limbaugh.

becki51758 on May 17, 2009 at 11:00 AM
Wanda Sykes wasn’t funny at the Correspondent’s Dinner. She’s not funny here either. Someone needs to tell the owners of the site that you just can’t polish a turd.
Percy_Peabody on May 17, 2009 at 11:04 AM
Everything said in the parody (and alot worse) would be common and fair game if Obama was a Republican.
RobCon on May 17, 2009 at 11:22 AM
Here are some more:
Ever notice how Michelle and RuPaul are never in the same room at the same time?
Barack, why do you say your against gay marriage? Your half way there already.
Again, if he were Republican, all the above and worse would be the fodder of lefty comics.
RobCon on May 17, 2009 at 11:26 AM
Heard the one of the most funnies things today on “This Week.” Katrina vanden Heuvel of The Nation said the “two greatest speakers of our time are Al Gore and Jimmy Carter.”

It’s such a shame that comedians just can’t find anything funny to say about the Obamas because they are so flawless…or at least that’s what the Obama loving media tells us.
Good thing someone on Youtube still knows how to be funny. They better not be too funny though (especially if he/she’s a girl) because then the media will try to destroy them.
OxyCon on May 17, 2009 at 11:32 AM
Thanks for the HOPE and CHANGE
I’m sure little homosexuals never dreamed they could grow up in a world where gay was normal and you could marry prince charming. So remember folks, anything is possible.
JiangxiDad on May 17, 2009 at 11:33 AM
You took the words right out of my mouth Percy, I found nothing funny in either bit. NOTHING! (well, okay, the shot at Keith Olberslime, BUT THAT’S IT!)
Vntnrse on May 17, 2009 at 11:36 AM
I linked to this yesterday. Hysterical!!!!
sammypants on May 17, 2009 at 11:47 AM
I think the Joe vs. the Pirates comic is the best political cartoon I’ve seen in a while.
darclon on May 17, 2009 at 11:52 AM
No, they were generally light on Laura Bush. And while I do believe Michelle has gotten far more praise than she deserves and isn’t half as stylish or good looking as the media tries to claim, I don’t think she’s as ugly has people here have claimed either.
Loved the parody and would have settled for a watered-down version.
Esthier on May 17, 2009 at 11:54 AM
Trust a man – she’s that ugly and worse.
progressoverpeace on May 17, 2009 at 11:57 AM
Completely off topic, but what do ya’ll think of John Thune 2012? I’m kind of digging it.
deidre on May 17, 2009 at 11:59 AM
This was way over the top and unnecessary, especially the part about Kennedy. Ugly and vicious are trademarks of the left. Keep it on their side and let them choke on it.
sherry on May 17, 2009 at 12:04 PM
I think she’s pretty actually. She’d be better looking if she wasn’t looking so stern all the time, though.

Michelle Obama is no longer allowed to play with Bo… she keeps stealing all his Milk-Bones.
TMK on May 17, 2009 at 12:12 PM
Oh I see, the original version of Wanda Sykes was despicable (which I have said many times) but the fake version here is acceptable. An ugly comment is an ugy comment.

I hear Maddow has the same problem. Must be something in the NBC water.

That’s the part that you thought went to far? The man’s an alcoholic, and he’s a Congressman. Since when is that not fair game? If he would either step down or go to rehab, I might agree.
That was good.
That’s pretty much the impression I get, that she’d be more attractive if she didn’t always look like she wanted to kill you.
I won’t question your judgment here.
Esthier on May 17, 2009 at 12:32 PM
I was referring to the comment on John Jr. dying in the plane crash. I should have made that clear.
sherry on May 17, 2009 at 12:35 PM
That man always has his nose in the air. UGH!!!! Can’t stand the moron. The video is still too polite for the damage this jerko-f is doing to the country.
txag92 on May 17, 2009 at 12:44 PM
The Kennedy joke wasn’t funny, but I suppose one could say it reflects the unnecessary cruelty of Sykes’ unfunny Limbaugh jokes. The same people who thought that was sooooh funny would be outraged by the plane joke. Like Obama.
Other than that – hilarious.
And while I don’t think Michelle is ugly (and can look quite pretty – like at the W.H.C.D.) she is tough as leather and has a very butch way of walking and carrying herself, so the end result is unappealing and decidedly unfeminine. Because they are grounded in reality, the jokes about her were very funny (I like the one about strapping her to the equator, but they were all good)…
Buy Danish on May 17, 2009 at 12:45 PM
I know the point isn’t the jokes but the contrast, but that one about Biden needing a bone specialist for his aneurisms was pretty darn good.
edshepp on May 17, 2009 at 12:47 PM
Pole, bedroom, biplanes. Mean, but hilarious. ROFL
ddrintn on May 17, 2009 at 12:54 PM
Don’t forget, he wasn’t the only one to die in that crash. His idiocy and stupidity (flying without the experience and with a cast on his leg) cost others their lives. Not atypical for a Kennedy.
progressoverpeace on May 17, 2009 at 12:56 PM
Yeah, nobody actually says that.
Jim Treacher on May 17, 2009 at 1:00 PM
I as browsing around the site and saw that they found a copy of Obama’s birth certificate! This should be breaking news!

JellyToast on May 17, 2009 at 1:11 PM
Not mean enough.
Good shots against Michelle’s manhood and looks though.
Spiritk9 on May 17, 2009 at 1:11 PM
Ah, yeah that one I can understand.
Esthier on May 17, 2009 at 1:25 PM
Damn fine roast right there.
Ars Moriendi on May 17, 2009 at 1:28 PM
Michelle is so ugly that they have to tie pork chops around her neck so Bo will play with her.
cjs1943 on May 17, 2009 at 1:41 PM
How ugly is Michelle Obama? She had to marry a gay guy to get pregnant.
TMK on May 17, 2009 at 1:48 PM
I’m not really sure if their looks are ugly, but their actions sure are. I wonder if She’s proud of her country yet?
jainphx on May 17, 2009 at 1:55 PM
Damn funny.
NeoKong on May 17, 2009 at 1:57 PM
Michelle “not a great beauty” by someone who is.
It’s her inner beauty that’s lacking.
On the photoshop about Olberman on the bathroom floow, the captions should say “The Obamas, featuring media, their trusty
lapdogarsdog”.The original Sykes and Obama’s performances were a disastrous disgrace, and Barack knew it. That they laughed along at some utmost supidities, which hurt them, showed the lack of class on the part of BO/MO.
He can’t deliver a punchline for nothing and GWB, the eternal bumbler/stumbler, beat him on these events, many times over.
This version is hilarious, if only the comedians would get their noses out of his lap/ars for long enough to produce more (materials aplenty).

I wonder if David Axelrod calls her a “dog” behind her back.

That site is a scream. Here’s my favorite (so far) from the comic strip (Biden describing his role in the rescue from the pirates):

Personally I think Michelle Obama looks OK, but not the gorgeous model type that the left press paints. I think I might like her some better if she did not seem to be spending so much time on her appearance and just be herself, for better or worse and stop trying so hard for the glamour.

After the Olbermann photoshop, here are my two favorites, sadly

I’m not sure the Ann Frank thing was…erm…I mean if anything is off base I think it would be Ann Frank. It really made me cringe.
ronsfi on May 17, 2009 at 4:41 PM
This wasn’t their best work in my opinion. Their humor was aimed so much on appearance, it missed the some better opportunities that could have been aimed at what they say/do and how they say/do it. But the site has some great stuff. The Reagan vs. Obama debate is my favorite.
Christian Conservative on May 17, 2009 at 5:19 PM
Now THAT, by god was funny.
Mr. Grump on May 17, 2009 at 5:45 PM
One of these days, Republicans/conservatives will learn the difference between insults and jokes. The Olbermann joke was funny, but the rest were just insults.
Oh, good ones about JFK Jr. and Michael J. Fox. Did you hear the one about the Reagan/Obama debate? Me either–I guess Reagan forgot to show up. Hey-ooo!
sandman on May 17, 2009 at 6:04 PM
That Reagan v. O was wonderful! I clapped here and I thought about cloning Reagan. Then I read the very end and I lol’d so loud one of my kids came downstairs.
Keep ‘em coming!

Couldn’t understand most of it. . .Like the original.
she ( or whoever ) needs to get the marbles out of her mouth. Mumbles is all I heard.
Texyank on May 18, 2009 at 1:48 AM
Yes it was funny, but you can’t take shots at the left for being crass in their humour and then put a skit like this up. If you laugh at this, you’ll just have to let the liberals laugh at their Bush cracks as well.
Mind you, the stuff about Michelle Obama was only funny because of the fawning of the media over her. Had they not tried to paint her as some grand beauty (which she clearly isn’t) there would be no reason for taking potshots at her.
The cruelist thing anyone has ever said about her was that she looked like James Brown. You’ll never look at her the same way again.
Note to the liberal media: if you put someone on a pedestal you can’t be surprised when people try to bring them down.
dcpolwarth on May 18, 2009 at 6:50 AM
Great work. This is the result of PC. PC forces us to hide our true feelings and opinions but take away PC and the truth sets you free.
MSGTAS on May 18, 2009 at 10:16 AM
I actually think she is good looking.. And being 6ft myself(since middle school and teased to death because of it), I don’t appreciate the tall/big jokes.. Go after Obama.
reshas1 on May 18, 2009 at 10:23 AM
Yea, I couldn’t get past that part. Not funny, I don’t care what his or his family’s politics are like. Maybe the rest of it was funny. ::shrugs:: I just know that if a liberal made a video where the first joke out was about celebrating the death of a prominent conservative figure, there would most likely be a very different reaction in here.
Jewels on May 18, 2009 at 11:23 AM
Obviously, you can.
Jim Treacher on May 18, 2009 at 12:53 PM
You do realize that one was presented to the President of the United States, to his face, and the other was a parody of it, yes?
