Osama Bin Laden: The Target of Navy SEALS and Late Night TV

Posted on May 3rd, 2011 by Katie Hoos

Osama Bin Laden took center stage Monday night as TV funny guys Kimmel, Leno, Letterman, Cobert, Conan, and Stewart joked about the death of public enemy number one. What else does America do better than turn international news into comedy? After being the target of the American government for ten years, I think it is only fair that Bin Laden’s death be the target of American television. We’ve lived in fear for quite some time at the hands of this man, so now it’s time to celebrate by making fun of his demise. And no, it’s not too soon. Here is a recap of last night’s Bin Laden bash-a-thon from the kings of comedy.

Jimmy Kimmel comments on Bin Laden’s “respectful” burial at sea on Monday’s Jimmy Kimmel Live.

Jay Leno of The Tonight Show shows us some unseen footage of Obama’s Sunday night speech announcing Bin Laden’s death, where he is giddy with excitement.

David Letterman of The Late Show created a Top 10 List of Bin Laden’s most likely last words. Not only is he taking a stab at Osama, but he mocks Donald Trump, killing two birds with one stone.

Stephen Colbert of The Colbert Report lets us know that we can now throw a long awaited “We Got Bin Laden” party after dusting off the 10 year old deflated balloons and moldy Bin Laden cake.

Conan O’Brien of Conan jokes about the recent Bin Laden news, including Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s involvement in the attack and Bin Laden’s Kinkos usage.

And Jon Stewart of The Daily Show compared Osama to an OC Housewife? And Spongebob Squarepants? And Macaulay Culkin? Yes, yes he did.

Let’s take the time to thank military special forces for putting an end to Bin Laden’s terrorism, as well as these late night TV hosts for making it okay to laugh at someone’s death.

TV's best birther jokes

Posted on April 27th, 2011 by admin

Barack Obama produced his long form birth certificate today, proving once and for all that he was, in fact, born in the United States. This is terrible news for two groups: birthers, who now have no way to claim that Obama was raised in some sort of Kenyan terrorist Presidential infiltration camp; and comedians, who mined a wealth of material from the crazy birthers and their claims. Here’s a look back at the birther-mocking that was.

Jon Stewart posited the theory that Obama’s Hawaii birth announcement was part of a “Nigerian prince” scam.

Stephen Colbert took things one step further, demanding that, in addition to his birth certificate, Obama produce a rap certificate to prove he did not appear in the video for Tag Team’s “Whoomp! There It Is.”

Birther-come-lately Donald Trump claimed to find it odd that no one remembered Barack Obama from childhood. He really shouldn’t have mentioned childhood, as it gave Jimmy Fallon a golden opportunity to craft a 6-year-old Donald Trump impression. “Please enjoy the Trump sandbox, the finest sandbox in the world. This is my girlfriend Natasha. She’s two and a half.”
