Obama's Funniest Jokes From The White House Correspondents' Dinner

May. 1 2011 - 11:56 am | 5,318 views | 1 recommendation |  Image via Wikipedia

President Obama came out swinging at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner on Saturday, taking shots at Donald Trump, Michelle Bachman, Fox News and even Matt Damon. Here are a few of his funniest quips:

1. He took the podium to a song usually reserved for Hulk Hogan’s WWE entrances: Rick Derringer’s “I am a real American.”

2. “What a week. As some of you heard the state of Hawaii released my official long-form birth certificate. Hopefully, this puts all doubts to rest. But just in case they’re any lingering questions, tonight I’m prepared to go a step further. Tonight, for the first time, I am releasing my official birth video.” The screens then plays the scene from Disney’s The Lion King when Mufasa, atop a cliff, lifts Simba up as the other animals in the savannah look on. Afterward, Obama said, “I want to make clear to the Fox News table that was a joke. That was not my real birth video. That was a children’s cartoon. Call Disney if you don’t believe me, they have the original long-form version.”

3. “Now, I know that he’s taken some flak lately but no one is prouder to put this birth certificate matter to rest than The Donald. And that’s because he can finally get back to focusing on the issues that matter, like, did we fake the moon landing? What really happened in Roswell? And where are Biggie and Tupac?

4. “All kidding aside, we all know about your credentials, and your breadth of experience. For example, on a recent episode of Celebrity Apprentice, at the steakhouse, the men’s cooking team did not impress the judges from Omaha Steaks. And there was a lot of blame to go around, but you, Mr. Trump, recognized that the real problem was a lack of leadership. And so ultimately, you didn’t blame Lil Jon or Meatloaf, you fired Gary Busey. These are the kinds of decisions that would keep me up at night. Well handled, sir! Well handled.”

5. “I’m very much looking forward to hearing Seth Meyer tonight. He is a young fresh face who can do no wrong in the eyes of his fans. Seth, enjoy it while it lasts.”

6. I even let down my key core constituency: movie stars. Just the other day, Matt Damon–I love Matt Damon, love the guy–Matt Damon said he was disappointed in my performance. Well Matt, I just saw the Adjustment Bureau so right back at you buddy.

7. “Michele Bachmann is here. She is thinking about running for president, which is weird because I hear she was born in Canada. Yes, Michele, this is how it starts.”

8. Where’s the National Public Radio table? [NPR cheers] You guys are still here, that’s good. I couldn’t remember where we landed on that.

9. Obama screened the? trailer for “The President’s Speech,” a “King’s Speech” parody based on the premise that GOP budgets cuts reduced funding for the president’s teleprompter and making Obama’s public addresses extremely difficult. In the trailer, Obama, of course, turns to the gaffe-proned Joe Biden to help him overcome his public speech impediment.

In Gmail, you no longer have to use obsolete technology such as a mouse and a keyboard to write, compose, or reply to emails: you can do all of those simply by moving your body.

Of course, even the smile of Google's Paul McDonald as he utters the announcement of the "feature" gives away that it's really an April Fools' joke, but it's hilarious nevertheless. Check out the desperate-looking presenter as he twists his body trying to compose and send an email without ever touching a keyboard in the video below.

Like every year, Google doesn't stop at one April Fools' trick; almost every one of its teams has the liberty to create their own elaborate joke, and some of them are funny as hell. In the video below, Google posts an ad for a job of "autocompleter." What, you didn't think those suggestions that appear on Google Search as you type were automatic, did you?

By the way, while we're on the subject of Google, try searching for "comic sans" or "helvetica". You'll find (almost) exactly what you're looking for.

YouTube, on the other hand, has decided to show us the top viral videos of 1911.

LinkedIn has an elaborate and fun joke this year. Log into the site, then click on Contacts - Add Connections and choose "People You May Know." You'll find out that the list is far more interesting than usual, featuring such celebrities as Robin Hood and Albert Einstein!
