I THINK HE PLAYED IT OFF WELL
03.22.10Last night, Barack Obama made some kind of speech about whatever the hell is going on in government, and some dude accidentally walked into the shot before making a “Whoops!” 180 and ducking back behind a curtain.
To me, this isn’t nearly as funny as someone getting hit in the groin with a football or, say, a really loud fart. But there’s at least some potential for the Internet to make this better. Like, maybe someone can mess with the sound and edit in some really squeaky shoes. Or clown shoes that make honking noises. Oh God, I’ve just described the next cold open for “Saturday Night Live,” haven’t I? I will now commit seppuku so that I may at least die with honor.
(Also: Best Week Ever has an animated GIF of the scene)

“Oh nevermind, it’s more health care bullshit.”
The SNL cold open will be 10 minutes of Bobby Moynihan making funny faces. Then Andy Samberg will come out dressed as Rahm Emmanuel to kick the guy out, but not before cursing up a storm. Then the real Rahm will come out and declare, “Live from New York, it’s Saturday FUCKING Night!” while Seth Meyers laughs himself silly and demands a raise.
What, no giant hook pulling him off?
After having seen this photo sequence, I’m a little worried about what’s going to happen to this guy.
Facebook has been over-run by people bitching about the health care thingy. I personally do not care because I am not lame. You can always move to Mexico, assholes. Yeah, that’s what I thought.
Zack, obviously fake. Chuck Norris would never work for Obama.
“He will pay the ultimate price.”
“Yes. the ultimate price.”
(also, an edit of this with Homer’s humming while walking up to the stonecutter’s secret hideout would be great. Too bad I’m too stupid to do it)
this scene is basically this Simpsons gif:

Nothing says hilarity like the rigid and predictable sketch format SNL uses. I for one prefer jokes that I can coming from a mile away.
NBC will only happy once SNL is as funny as The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. They just need more guest hosts that don’t have a sense of humor!
I’d like the sound of a toilet flushing before he enters the frame.
Er, clearly you all need to be a bit time more watching out who is our government…I don’t think Gibbs, the guy in the background, is going to be in much trouble since he is the second mouthpiece for the Teleprompter and Chief.
thank you c’est moi. Bob G. isn’t exactly a random dude in this context whether you like him or not.
