There’s been lots of talk lately about how hard it is to make fun of Barack Obama. Really? JibJab takes a decent shot at him—and everyone else involved in Campaign 2008—with its new video:
McCain's exploding jaw tumor was disgusting but I loved it. All this hullaballoo about "not being able to make fun of Obama" is bullshit. The only people complaining seem to be the ones that can't see beyond his race. I love the guy but I admit that he is ripe for lampooning.
I thought that was a pretty weak piece all around, but I think that about most JibJab stuff. Seems much more in the vein of mainstream Leno-type humor -- not real edgy or relevant satire (whether of Bush, McCain, or Obama).

Absolutely hilarious!!! And you're right about making fun of Obama. They did the best job ever!
I think it says a lot about Bob Dylan that that song can still give me chills, even when turned into a goofy election parody.
Oh, and the video was good too.
We won't support ball-less NO-Bama and will re-defeat him in November!!!

That's great. I still love the this land one best, but that was hilarious.
I don't know what kind of animation these guys do, but it's crazy good.
I saw this this morning and could not get the image of Obama on a unicorn out of my head. Very funny....

adobe after effects. cant do that shit in flash
Jib Jab?
Didn't they get outsourced to China?
I'm an Obama supporter, but I couldn't stop laughing as he was frolicking among the animals. Now THIS is satire!
Also, I love that Clinton's 2012 poster is reminiscent of China's Red Stars.
PS: Anyone else play the "Name the Figure Head" game with Jib Jab videos?
the new yorker cartoon was a satire on right wing-nut media. wasn't that obvious? not really comparable to this joke which is sqarely on obmama.
Kinda boring.
@3: Army of 1?
Well done.
And I'm with #2. Totally gave me chills too. That's some damn fine songwritin'
This video is just as funny as the stuff JibJab did in 2004.
New Yorker: Please take note of what effective satire is.
