Between Two Ferns

[Howey]

Yup. That's the source of the latest exclamations of outrage from the right. How dare the socialist communist nazi negro Kenyan Obummer lower himself to appear on such a horrible venue? Since when are Americans supposed to laugh?

The Obama interview, however, was just dreadful. After a few semi-unbearable moments during which the president shows he doesn't at all understand the point of the show--the guest is not supposed to get in good zingers; he's supposed to be taken down a peg--there's an utterly unbearable moment during which he hawks the failed social experiment that is HealthCare.gov. It's just gross.

Mostly people who don't understand the humor. Can't please all the people all the time. Definitely can't explain awkwardly funny humor to people with sticks permanently up their butts.

As far as getting the word out about the ACA to a younger demographic in a relatable way? This is easily the smartest thing this administration has done to date.

Man. He really can **** up a perfectly nice fern!

Methinks the post above yours was spot on, and you are the one with a stick up your ass. I'm pretty sure that's the best you can get.

Now if they can just book him for the Sesame Street show he will have gone full circle. And maybe, just maybe he will find an audience that truly relates to him. I said maybe!

So, which one is the fern again?

Was thinking I would vote for the fern first.

One's a fern, the other a ferner.

It's not like obama has more important things to do.

Did anyone pick up on the question of how obama feels about being the last black president? People heard exactly what they wanted to hear which is "how do you feel about being the first black president". The last black president assumes we'll never have another one.

It's no wonder that obama having his time taken up by this kind of nonsense, golf games and vacations let president Putin have Crimea without argument. Putin wins. But we all knew that was going to happen anyway.

Personally I think Obama should do more stuff like that the more he does these kind of things the less time he has to screw up the country.

His latest is to prohibit salaried jobs and force everyone onto hourly.

I understand humor......that wasn't it.

Obama has a very dry sense of humor.

Uh yeah. I heard that joke. Because it was one of the jokes. Why would Galifianakis ask him about being the first black president? I swear, you people.

I love Between Two Ferns, but didn't care much for Obama's jokes. I have seen him be funny, but this wasn't it.

As far as whether or not it was an appropriate appearance... I could care less.

Pajama Boy was NOT a good idea!

Yeah. We'll never elect another black president after this one.

I think the Ferns need a youtube channel named "Between two idiots".

 

[MeBelle]

Crap! I came here thinking I'd find a recipe for Fiddlehead Ferns!

 

[blackhawk]

Interviewing the ferns would have been funnier.
