This a question many comedians are facing: what’s funny about Barack Obama? And, if so, is it not so offensive that it can’t be said? This article sort of gives us an idea of the problems that comedians will face when trying to roast Obama, and they are rather unprecedented.
One “comedian” (I personally think he’s a hack), Jimmy Kimmel, tried to address the question in a black barbershop in on one of his recent shows:
Interesting questions. However, I’m sure that as time goes on and Obama actually, you know, becomes President, we’ll find plenty to laugh (and cry) about.
That said, it was a pleasure blogging for Policuse this semester. I hope you enjoyed our slice of the poliblogointernetosphere.
