How to write an Obama joke

by Brian McKim & Traci Skene on March 26th, 2009

We think we have the hang of this Obama joke-writing thing. We figured we’d take a whack at it. Here goes:

It was revealed recently that President Obama gave visiting British Prime Minister Gordon Brown a set of 25 classic American movies on DVD. The only trouble was, they were incompatible with British DVD players.

In other news, John McCain is still trying to find someone to get his VCR to stop flashing “12:00” over and over again.

See what we did there? We brought up Obama, and mentioned a mistake he made, but when punchline time comes around, well we did the ol’ switcheroo and inserted a “McCain is old” joke!

We never tire of those! And, neither, apparently, does the American public.

Everybody’s doing it!
